NOLAN BILL KILLED
Senate Committee to Offer
Demurraqe Substitute

w. A. Nolan's reciprocal demurrage
bill will not be recommended for pass
age by the senate committee on rail-
roads. That decision was arrived at
yesterday afternoon.
The committee has granted half a
dozen hearings to the shippers who
want the bill passed and to the rail-
roads and their counsel who oppose
the measure. Both sides argued long
and earnestly, and the committee has
decided to recommend a compromise
bill which eliminates certain features
of the Nolan measure.
The new bill which will be reported
out today places the whole matter in
the hands of the state railroad and
warehouse commission. Instead of
charging each other with demurrage
fees for delays in loading or unloading
or in moving or furnishing cars the
bill requires the railroads and ship
pers to furnish, move, load and unload
freight cars with reasonable speed and
dispatch. The commission is to decide
whether penalty should be enforced
by either party. This does away with
section IL of the bill which gives the
shipper credit on all cars unloaded
in less than twenty-four hours.
The bill requires both, the railroad
companies and the shippers to move
and unload their cars with reasonable
speed and dispatch, instead of charg-
ing each other demurrage for delayed
cars. 1t is a compromise measure de-
signed to expedite the handling Of
freight.

SMITH IN DESPAIR

Members of the legislature will have

Smith yesterday withdrew his bill to
increase salaries to $500 a year. Twice
IT had come within a few votes of
passing, but its chances of success
were regarded as so remote that it's
author asked to have the bill referred
to its author. Mr.. Smith followed his
motion with another to suspend the
rules and pass his bill for a constitu-
uonal amendment giving cities the
right to legislate without the aid Of
charter commissions.
The house deferred to Minneapolis
yesterday, passing the Comstock bill,
giving Hennepin county the right to
issue 100000 bonds to complete it's
court house and city hall, and restoring

Possibly never in the history of Min

speaker of the house of representatives
been together in the state capitol Yes
terday four former speakers were
guests of Speaker Frank Clague in the
house retiring room for half an hour
The meeting was entirely accidental.
w. E. Lee of Long Prairie was in town
and called at the capitol. j. D. Jones of
Long Prairie was on his way home
from trip to the south, where he had
spent the winter. Mr.. Lee was speaker
during the session of 1898 and Mr..
Jones in 1897. A. N. Dare, state expert
printer. speaker in 1899. was at the
capitol as usual, and NJ. j. Bowling,
speaker for the session of 1901, had
come in from Olivia to see the legis-
lature in session during its closing
days. While the four former speakers
have the freedom of the floor by vir-
tue of their old positions. they were
content to sit in the shadows of the
smoking room and talk of old times.

Without a word of debate Senator

After disposing of the special order
at IL p. m. comprising the four bills of
Senator Eberhart relating to railroad
freight rates, as elsewhere reported,
the senate resumed consideration of the
calendar
Senator Dunn's bill providing for the
single publication in all the legal news
papers Of a county prior to an election,
of all notices of proposed constitutional
amendments and the attorney generals
digest of their purport, failed to pass,
securing only 20 votes, lacking three
Senator Woods little speech against
the bill probably killed it, though he
voted for the measure.
Senator Wilson said he had consulted
the state printer. who Informed him
that the bill If passed would entail an
additional expense to the state ranging
from $4,000 to $4,000, as under the
present law the notice of constitutional
amendments is required to be publish
ed three times in only one legal news
paper of a county.
This moved Senator Wood to re-
mark that newspapers were. a prolific
tribe, and that If there were only 700
legal publications in the state at pres
ent, there would be 1,400 as soon as the
bill was passed, so the bill failed to
pass.
Senator Stephens bill raising the
salaries of the members of the state
railroad and warehouse commission
from $4,000 to $4,000 year was passed,
as was Representative Fosseen's bill
authorizing the reception as evidence in
actions over title to land abstracts of
title and abstractor's data, when public
records have been lost or destroyed.
Representative Adams bill to prohib-
1t the sale of thin lumber was recon-
mended for indefinite postponement by

priating $4,000 for the relief of the suf-
ferers of the cyclone at Louisburg, Lac

LEGISLATURE
REFUSES TO sign
CHIROPRACT|C BILL
Gov. johnson Returns Meas.
ure to Senate Without
Approval

The second veto of Gov. Johnson
reached the senate yesterday. The gov
ernor returned without his approval
Senator Gjertsen's bill creating state
board of chiropractic examiners. The
reasons for the veto are set forth by
the governor as follows:
The best information of which I am
possessed reveals to me the fact that CHI
ropractic so-called, is a discovery OF
very recent origin, and was discovered and
developed by men who were not learned
in the science of healing disease. 1t is
not apparent to me that the devotees of
this So called art in this state are pos
sessed of the proper knowledge of anat-
omy and kindred subjects to properly con-
stitute a board for the examination OF
others in those subjects.
The enactment of law creating a state
board of chiropractic examiners and reg
istration, and to regulate the practice of
chlropractic in the state of Minnesota, ana
TO license chiropractors, will dignity this
new and untried school to the extent that
the people will look to it as panacea and
. remedy for the ills to which the human
body is heir, and must from the very ma
ture of that confidence so established, be
more or less imposed upon by practition-
ers who will have adopted this means to
abuse the confidence of the public.
Chiropractic has not yet become sci
ence or even school, and is at best but
an untried experiment which has pro-
duced no lasting or definite results. Among
the applicants for positions on this pro-
posed board are insurance agents, and
men in other walks in life with absolute
ly no medical training whatever. The
health of the public is the first essential,
and should be safeguarded by every pos
sible legal requirement and If chiroprac-
tic must be recognized at all, those prac-
ticing this so-called art should certainly
be required to pass examination in the
essential branches by due and regular ex-
animation before the state medical board
which represents the best thought and is
the recognized and established standard
which has been developed from the expert
ence of the ages.
Believing this. 1 cannot give my ap-
prevail to senate file No. 81, IAN act Gre
ating state board of chiropractic exam
iners and registration, and to regulate
the practice of chiropractic in the state
of Minnesota, to license chiropractors and
to punish persons violating the provisions
of this act which is herewith returned
without my signature and approval. Very
respectfully. John A. Johnson,
Governor.
On motion of Senator Gjertsen, the
bill and communication were laid upon
the table.

SENATE PASSES THE
RAILWAY RATE BILLS
Urges Congress to Pass Law
AboIishing "Prlvate Car" -
Lines

The senate yesterday passed Senator
Eberharts four bills regulating rail-
road freight rates. They were the
special order for IL a. m. and were
passed without debate or opposition
after Senator Eberhart, as chairman of
the joint committee appointed to take
testimony, had explained their provi-
sions.
Senator Eberhart said that only
twenty-five complaints had been pre-
scented; that the committee had given
the subject an exhaustive investiga-
ton; that the majority report, which
he Endorsed. differed but little in its
recommendations from the minority
report.
The first bill, senate file No. sos,
gives the railroad and warehouse COM
mission jurisdiction over freight rates,
forbids railroads to change rates with
out the consent of the commission;
the second bill provides a fine for al
lowing rebates, not to exceed $1,000,
and declares the recipient of such fla
vor guilty of misdemeanor; the third
bill is a joint resolution recognizing
the existence of a distributing and
distance tariff, but declaring that the
two tariffs should show but little diff
ference in the rate for given mileage,
in no case to exceed 5 per cent; the
fourth measure is a joint memorial TO
congress urging the passage of a law
restoring to the interstate commerce
commission the powers formerly exer-
cised by it by giving it fullsauthority
to control the long and short haul
clause regulating interstate commerce.
The memorial also urges congress to
abolish all private car" lines and re-
quire railway companies to furnish the
necessary equipment to meet the public
demands.
