DRASTIC ANTI-MERCER
MEASURE fails TO pass
BAY STATE SENATE AMENDS
BILL ADOPTED By THE
HOUSE.

Legislature AdjOurns and Legislation
Fails to Become Law-BIlI Directed
Against the Control of Trolley Lines
in the State by The New York, New
Haven and HartfOrd--GOv. Guilds
Pet Measure.
Boston, June 29.-The 1906 session of
the Massachusetts legislature, was pro-
rogued at 11-45 o'clock tonight. The
chief interest Of the closing hours of
the session centered about the anti
street railway merger bill, which now
fails to become a law, recommended by
Governor Curtis Guild, Jr. in a special
message to the general court and en-
bodied in bill presented to the legis-
lature by speaker Cole of the house of
representatives.
The billintroducedby the speaker and
which is understood to have been the
result of a conference between the
governor, the speaker and Attorney
General Dana Malone, was framed on
the ground that railroad corporations
operating in Massachusetts particularly
the New York. New Haven & Hartford
railroad corporation, were Illegally con-
trolling Massachusetts, street railway
properties and was designed to prevent
such holdings. The Cole bill also ex-
pressly prohibited railway corporations
from holding or controlling the stocks
or bonds Of any Massachusetts street
railway company, and further directed
that by December 1907, the railroad
corporations holding such stocks and
bonds should dispose of the securities.
The Cole bill was passed by the house
and sent to the senate to-day for con-
current action. The senate, however,
refused to pass the bill and mended 1t
so that it read the same as the report
of the joint committee or street rail-
ways and railroads The committee
report directed that the attorney gen
eral of the state bring action In the
supreme court of the state to determine
if the control by the New York
New Haven & Hartford Railroad of
| Massachusetts street railway proper
ties was legal or Illegal, and further
provided that the railroad corporation
should not acquire additional street
railway properties until the supreme
court had rendered a decision.

SENSATIONAL COURT SCENE.
Ohio Judge Angry at Motion to Set
Aside Sentence of lee Men.

Toledo, June 29--There was a sensa-
tional scene in the common pleas court
this afternoon when attorneys for two
of the condemned ice men argued a
motion to set aside the sentence on the
ground that defendants pleaded guilty
on promise of the court that leniency
would be shown, that the court is pre-
judicved in passing sentence and that
the law is unconstitutional. Judge
Kinkade threw the motion out of court
and from the bench vigorously assailed
the attorneys for the defendants. Both
sides used language not often heard in
a court room and created a genuine
sensation. The same motion has been
filed in the circuit court and will be
heard tomorrow.
The court has reduced the fines and
Imprisonment of each of the five ice
dealers to $2,5OO and six months in the
workhouse and will hear no argument
for the further modification of prison
sentence. All the men are in Jail and
are not permitted to give bonds.
