MEMBERS OF STATE LEeIsLA.
TURE WILL PUSH ANTI
PASS BILL.
CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS
One Of the Leaders Of the Legislature
Says Most Drastic Bill VIII Be
Presented at the Next Session
Former Vote on Measure Was Tie.

Des Moines, March 6.-An organiza-
tion to effect the enactment of the
anti-pass law will be formed in the
Legislative session of 1906.
The information is from one of the
leaders of the assembly who knows of
what he is talking. He has the ut
most confidence in the passage of the
measure at the coming session He
has no doubt of the ability of the
friends of the measure to control the
votes with which to give the bill a
constitutional majority.
But If the measure passes without
much opposition 1t will be due to a
very material change to be made in
its form from that in which 1t was
offered to the legislature by Senator
Hughes. As considered by the last
two sessions Of the legislature the bill
provided for the prohibition of theissu
ance to and use Of passes by public
officers and delegates to the political
conventions.

viii be Most Drastic.

In the new and improved form the
bill will prohibit railroads from issu-
Ing any kind of passes to any class of
people, except, possibly, employees Of
the road.
The latter, however, will be fought
in the legislature by those who are in
clined to object to legislation of this
character. They insist that If rail-
road employees are permitted to have
passes 1t means that half the members
of the legislature will still ride on
passes perhaps more than that, for If
the roads are prohibited from issuing
passes to pubic oficers they may ap.
point public officers to be attorneys
and agents for them and thus have the
right to issue them passes as en-
ployes.
If the anti-pass bill is made so dras-
tic that 1t will prohibit railroads from
issuing passes to all public officers of
all kinds and to all other persons and
require railroads to issue transporta.
tion only for value received, the theory
is that the legislature will pass the
measure without much of fight.
The bill only lost in the senate the
last time by a tie vote and never was
called up on reconsideration, though
motion was filed by Senator Hughes
which passed to the sitting committee
and was not reported out.

IN THE DISTRICT
Disposition of Various Matters by
Judge and Jury.

In the district court yesterday r. G..
McClary paid in the Judgment OF
$101 given against him on the note
held by Viola Tullls. The payment
included the original amount OF the
note, s92.16, together with interest,
and was paid in order to release Nc
Clary's monies from punishment
which was held in the National bank.
McClary's payment included the judg-
ment and $10.10 assessed In costs to
him by the district court. Immedi-
ately the payment was made, the
amount was seized by the clerk OF
the district court and held for costs
as assessed up against Miss Tullis.
The total cost in the case, to Miss
Tullis, as shown by the docket, were
$199.05, to which may be added the
McClary judgment for 500 90, still to
be paid by Miss Tullis. In this no

ney's fees. Miss Tullis has already

ment the judgment paid in by Nc

RIVETS WERE FAULTY.
Boilermaker Testifies at Young
CourtmartiaI.

Mare Island, Cal. Oct 2O.-At the open
ing of the Young courtmartial today Com
mander W. II. Allerdice adhered to his
theory that the collapse of boiler B of
the Bennington was due Il, overheating.
He stated that the life of a marine boiler
was about nine years. Newer ships than
the Bennington already have had new
boilers installed, for instance, the Helena
and Wilmington.
Edward kayanaugh former boiler
maker at Mare Island, rSas the next wit
ness. He had examined the rivets of the
collapsed furnace of boiler and their
condition was very bad. His opinion was
tnat they We're driven over sharp edges
and through punched holes. Many were
found to be brittle under a test Many
IN boilers \ and b were in the same
condition. He examined boiler 3 for
OVerheating and said there was no APP
pearance of the fire scale that appears
when the material is heated to a cherry
red. After further technical evidence by
Master Shipsmith Robert c. Leshorn,
Master MachinisL Estes and Foreman
Machinist Hussey the court adjourned.
