suspension of public business marked
the celebration of Christmas in this
city. Only matters of the most urgent
nature were attended to, and in con-
sequence government employees and
officials were free to give themselves
over to the enjoyment of the day. At
the White House the presents were
many and beautiful. The entire fam
lily, including Representative Long
worth and wife, was assembled, and
the gifts were passed around. Vice
President and Mrs. Fairbanks spent

Governor HanIy Does Not
Want Legislators to Accept
Railroad Fav0rS.
Determined IN ATTITUDE
ALREADY THE RAIRoAD COMMITS
SION is LAYING PLANS FOR GET
TING ANTI-PASS LEGISLATION
THROUGH.

One of the perquisiteS of a seat in
the House Of Representatives and in
the Senate of the Indiana General AS
sembIy. has always been "a railroad
pass over the line or lines running be-
tween the home of the legislator and
indianapolis.
Wayne county members of the Cen
eral Assembly, like all others, have
shared in these railroad gifts and they
have proved highly cceptable. Ac-
cording to information from the CAPT
tai, Governor Hanly has determined to
set in action a movement which he
hopes will cut off the pass business
and the State Railroad Commission is
ut this time laying the preliminary
plans for getting such legislation
through.
If the railroad commission has it's
way, the anti-pass law VIII be so
sweeping in it's nature, that no passes
can be issued by the railroads to any
persons except bona fide officials.
Members of the legislature would new
err again receive an annual or q
session" pass and employees OF the
road, including railroad attorneys.
would go down into the pockets and
pay cash fare. The end that the COM
mission has in view is the ultimate
abolition of the past custom Of giving
passes, especially in return for favors
that are granted the railroads.
An anti-pass bill was introduced in
the legislature Of 1905. but members of
both branches. most OF whom had
passes over one or more railroads,
treated it as a joke bill. 1t died in the
committee room. Several legislators
who had refused to accept passes from
the railroad attorneys and lobbyists
advocated it's passage. but it usually
happened that the pass-ho!ding mem
bers were too busy with other matters
of legislation to give them much time
when they wanted to discuss it.
The chances are that there will not
be as many passes handed out dur
ing the coming session, because of the
prohibitory sections in the railroad
rate bill passed last spring by con-
gress.
Men who are close to Governor Han
" and know his ideas on the subject,
predict that he will recommend the
enactment of an anti-pass law for In
diana in his message to the coming
legislature.

They say it was always considered
as such and that the township always
worked it, the same as other town
ship roads, and the dock was the
public dock and boats, both passen-
ger and freight, made regular stops
there to and from New York and was
known as Blazing Star Landing. The
