. !. BILL COMES IN
IT CARRIES WITH IT ABOLITION
~. OF RAILROAD PASSES.
Senator Peterson Introduces It as a
Substitute for His Former Bill All
Railroad Passes Cut Off Except to
Bona Eide Employees, and Drastic
Penalties Provided for Giver and Re-
ceiver of Pass. 49,

Senator F. II. Peterson of Moorhead
today introduced his tWo-cent passenger
fare bill. It includes the provisions
of, his antipass bill, introduced earlier

with the idea that they must stand or
fall together. ~.
The new bill applies only to railroad
companies, and does not prohibit tele-
phone, telegraph or express franks. It's
provisions are drastic, carrying a fine
of 5000 to $1,000, or imprisonment from
one to five years. 49,.

tive thereof shall furnish to any person.

la bona fde employee, any free pass, Fspe-
cial privilege, or reduction in rate, with

rectly or indirectly, solicit or receive or use
OH any IdllrOdu Ill IllS Stdle, any lee pass

sons who are agents or officers of any
corporation mentioned in the foregoing
section, shall be privileged from testify
ing in relation to anything herein prohib-
tied, and no person for so ftestifying shall

for any offense concerning which he was
required to testify, or concerning which he
was required to. furnish documentay evil
dence. -
Section 6. Any person or company, OF
any officer or agent Of such company VIC
lating any of the provisions of this aei
shall be imprisoned IN the state prison

GALE MADE THE | 4;
COLD BITTERER
WORST DAY OF THE WINTER IN
MINNEAPOLIS.
Wind Blowing Thirty Miles an Hour
with Thermometers Registering 10
Degrees Below Zero SCOT and Dirty
Snow Clouds Storm Came Suddenly
and Leaves Trail Of Damage.

With gale blowing thirty miles an
hour and the thermometer recording Is
degrees below zero, Boreas made his
fiercest onslaught Of the present winter
on Minneapolis today. Instead Of the
usual bracing ozone, the wind picked up
the dirty snow and SCOT and hurled it
thru the streets and into the faces Of
pedestrians.
A year ago today the temperature

was little wind and the suffering did not
compare with the discomfort caused by
the icy blasts of, today. II.

Dakota the temperature recorded was

time today and tonight, it is expected
shift in the night from the northwest to
the southeast and that the wind will
shift so that southerly gales will prevail,
bringing slowly rising temperatures.
Last night when the theater crowds
started home they found the compare
lively mild weather had changed to
frigidity. The change was so sudden
that many flats and downtown stores
were caught unprepared. The morning
brought news of cracked water pipes.
Wherever there was a Granny the wind
gained entrance, and a. warehouse man
said that the destruction to provisions
and bottled goods was serious. This
morning no one walked who had a nickel
and the congestion on the cars was I'M
precedented. Saloonkeepers blessed the
day as the best "seller" for many a
season, and the drug stores had thriv-
ing trade in hot chocolate and bouillon.

THE CITY'S DUTY TO ALL
WHY "A SEPARATE SANATORIUM
FOR CONSERVATIVES rs A PUBLIC

FOR CONSERVATIVES IS A PUBLIC
NECESSITY. -
The need of sanatorium for tuber-
cular patients was emphasized yesterday
by the death of John Powers at the
city hospital. For weeks he had been
ill of tuberculosis in his room in a
lodging house at 81 Washington avenue
s., He was removed to the hospital
lust thirty minutes before he died.
Gone of. the first things necessary IN
Minneapolis to prevent the further
spread Of tuberculosis, said p. D. Sol
enberger, manager of the Associated
Charities, His to provide suitable
sanatorium, one separate department
of which shall receive poor consump-
|tives. Even dying consumptiyes
should be given every opportunity for
recovery. Il.
In one sense, it is not a charity on
the part Of community to care for
|consumptives. From the most selfish
point Of view in self-defense the COM
munity should do it, for tuberculosis
is communicable disease. In view of
the fact that one death in every nine
in, Minneapolis is due to tuberculosis,
this. subject is one Of great Importance.
fare there not some men Of large
means in Minneapolis who would be
willing to join forces and build sana-
torium for the. treatment of tuberculosis
where those who can afford to pay
something can be received, and also an
institution whose doors will fling wide
open without any red tape for those
who are unable to pay any thing =

it is by far too big and involves too
many questions to be disposed of quick

those presented last May by Aldermen
Sam E. Adams and Peter Mccoy. In

such a. plan and the result is that the
bridges across the Great Northern and
st. Louis tracks at Fourth avenue N
are higher than necessary because it
was not known that Washington ave-

argument was that the reduction Of tar

ture the United States imports from
Canada raw materials in considerable
quantities. y Canada imports nothing of
the same class Of articles from the
United States. The United States i'm
ports from Canada very small quantities
