THE CARMERA PEND
Chicago Alderman Would Put
 Him Out of Business.

Chicago, Dec 5.-The nuisance of the flashlight camera fiend is to be ex- terminated by the police in accordance with an order introduced in the city council last night by Alderman Young. The order, which was unanimously adopted, directs the corporation coun- sel to draft an ordinance eliminating the evil. The order was as follows:
 Whereas, the presence of the camera flend, plying his vocation wheneyes and wherever he .pleases, making whenever he chooses his victim re gardless of circumstances or surround ings, is becoming general nuisance; and,
 Whereas, one of ChicagO's best known and most highly esteemed eiti- zens has recently been subjected to embarrassment and indignlty by such intruders under such painful circum- stances as to make the act revolting to the heart of any man of average sensibilities: therefore,
 "0rdered. That the corporation eOun. sel be directed to prepare such Ordi ance or amendment to the revised code as in his opinion will best tend to eliminate the evil here in referre' to. making such regulation particularly applicable to cases in which explosives are used and providing adequate pen alties for violations thereof

LAFOLLTTE SPEAKS.
He Says He Will Accept United States Senatorship---His Mes
 age Presented.

Madison, Wis, Dec Ex-Governor La Toilette read his message to the legis lature when it convened to-day. He stated that he would accept the United States senatorship to which he had been elected by the legislature at the last session. He said that his resigna. ton as governor would be rendered either at the next session of the legis latlre or at a special session called for that purpose. The following is an ab. stract of his speech to the legislature.
 Four recommendations are made in the message regarding the revision of the railroad rate commission law. In the first he recommends that the com. mission be authorized to prescribe a unlform system of keeping accounts of the business transacted in Wisconsin by the railroads and that all roads should be required to file with the commission from time to time reports on their income. He wants separate accounts kept of the business done by the railroads in this state and in other states as we'll as an account showing the value of each railroad in this state His second recommendation provides that the law be so amended that spe. cial mileage tickets, communication tick, cts, excursion tickets and party tickets can be issued at less than the regular rates for the National Guard and G. A. R. encampments, students, home. seekers, etc. His third recommends tion provides for additional power by the commission to investigate rates. His fourth recommendation gives the commission power to decide what safe guards shall be erected at any railroad crossing in this state.
 The governor wants the payment of railroad taxes first and litigation after wards if necessary instead of litiga tion first and payment last, as he holds is now the case.
 The investigation of public service corporations and insurance companies is one of the most important features of the message.
 He takes the railroads to task for maintaining what he calls expensive Hobbies and for resisting the prompt payment of taxes. He thinks that a legislative investigation which would uncover all facts with relation to this important subject will be wholesome In It's public lesson.
 He discusses the insurance scandals of New York and is bitter in his ,le. nunciation of those companies which have been caught by the eastern in. vestigation.
 'I recommend" he says. "that committee, with power to summon witnesses, examine books, and with all power necessary to investigate ex- penditures and methods of doing bus mess, be appointed and instructed to make a. complete report to the gover. nor on or before November 1. 1aO6 who shall submit the same to the leg islature at it's next session with. any Recommendations he may make there on"

fuses to Act With Grand Jury.
 Boston, Dec 5.-The controversy be- tween John B. Moran, the newly elect ed district attorney of Suffolk county and the grand jury of Suffolk county, aroused by MT M0ran's desire for q new draft of talesmen, was intensified today by independent action by each party. The grand jury, before which MT Moran refused to appear yester- day to present evidence, to-day took up of it's own accord the cases which had been assigned for It's considera. tion, after it had been instructed b. Judge Decourcy of the superior eour that it could of itself and without the presence of the district attorney exam- inc witnesses, reach conclusions and report findings on the eases OF the De- cember dockets. Possessed of these instructions the jurors returned to their room and dispatched a messen- ger for documents pertaining to sSy- eral cases on the list
 A large number of witnesses who had been excused yesterday were ready to-day to be summoned to tlle grand jury room. It was learned, however. tlat the witnesses in the case of Thomas W. Lawson. who had been held for the grand jury on the charge of criminal libel, were notified by telephone from the district attOr- ney's office that there would be'no seq- sion of the grand jury to-day. and that they need not appear. When Dis trict Attorney Moran asked the clerk of the superior court to send out mo- tices to this effect. he was informed that this was a matter in which the district attorney could not dictate. but one which the court must pass upon. Thereupon the Lawson ease witnesses were notified that they should he present today.
