Des Moines, Feb. 22.-About the
strongest presentation OF any bill at
this session was that of the northern
Iowa grain shippers in behalf of the
reciprocal demurrage bill. which is
pending in the house. 1t was introduce
ed by Representative Powers. The bill
provides for prompt unloading of cars
and prompt furnishing of cars when
needed by shippers. 1t requires COM
panies to furnish the cars as needed
under penalties. The plain purpose of
the law Is to place it beyond the power
Of the railroad companies to join with
others in preventing fast shipment of
grain, as is alleged they do, and 1t
gives the shippers some right in the
matter of having cars furnished. A
committee appeared under the leader
ship Of w. A. Stickney, Of Chicago,
relative of the railroad Stickneys. and
in the delegation were B. Quamne, of
Rake, A. Seiverson, of Ottosen, c. G.
Messerole, of Gowrie. S. j. Coddington.
of Stanhope and N. B. Fritz of Holmes.
They urged the passage of the bill as
being something that would give them
relief in the matter of periodical car
shortages.
II tell you how this is," said Mr..
Quamme, who has charge of a Coop
erative elevator. I'VE got two cars
this month when we ought to have had
twenty-five We lose S1.500 because of
failure to get cars. The corn spoils
and the price goes down and we cam
not get to market. l write to the agent
and the freight agent and the division
superintendent and the railroad COM
mission. We get nice answers. They
all say they hope we will be relieved
pretty soon; but they don't send any
medicine And then / get car and
the farmers hear of 1t and they tele-
phone in and by the time get 1t ready
for the grain the street Is lined with
their wagons. have to send some of
them back with their loads because
we have no place to put the grain. And
besides losing money have a fight on
my hands"
And that is sample Of the tale Of
woe these elevator men tell. 1t Is
everywhere the same. They have lost
from $500 to $1,000 each in a few
months because of failure to get cars.
They say the railroad commission can
or will do nothing and the railroad
men all tell the same story. They urg-
ed that If the Powers bill was passed
they might be in a position to get bet
ter service

they would do, all those called into the
conference made firm stand for the
Hepburn bill in it's present form, ana
said none of the amendments suggested
seemed to be an Improvement. They
said that IL the bill specified conditions
under which complaints coulo be taken
into court. the court might refuse TO
take cognizance of matters not speci-
fled in the bill. They said they pre-
ferred to leave open every Feature on
which an aggrieved person might de-
sire to go into court.
Present Bill Constitutional.
Attorney General Moody, it is said,
contended the Hepburn bill Is consti-
tutional. and that there is no danger
of its being overturned by the United
States supreme court. He would not
pass upon the wisdom of amending the
bill, taking the position that that is a
function outside his official province.l
After Mr. Dolllver and Mr.. Clapp
returned to the capitol they told GER
tain colleagues that they would go in
TO the committee Friday and make a
firm stand to have the bill reported
without amendment When asked con-
cerning the attitude of the president
they said that they believed he is sat
isfied with the bill as 1t stands but
that 1t is too much to say that ne is
opposed to any amendments whatever.
The president was described by them
as ready to consider any amendments
that might be offered, and willing to
listen to any proposition up to the time
to the bill is placed on It's final pass

SAFETY DEVICE IS DEATH TRAP
Young Indiana Man Drowned While
Testing New Invention.

Lawrenceburg, Ind, Feb. 22-Warren
Mitchell, youthful inventor of this
city, lost his life yesterday when test
ing an invention he had recently per-
fected for protecting skaters on thin
ice. The device consisted of a light
but very strong framework fastened
about the skaters body and extending
three feet on either side. It was ex-
pected that this framework, if the skat-
er broke thru, would rest upon the
firmer edges of the ice and prevent the
wearer from going under.
Mitchell was testing his contrivance
on Tanners creek. when his foot came
in contact with an obstruction and he
was thrown headlong upon the ice. The
ice gave way and the upper part of the
body went under the water The de-
vice about his waist hampered him
SO he could not raise himself, and when
taken from the water he was dead.

This is the same bridge that was

and after being rebuilt was thrown out

The track between Mt. Zion and Kill
bourne has given the railroad company
