FIGHT FOR CHEAP
FARES IS CHECKED

Des Moines, March Platter a
hearing that lasted during the great
err part of yesterday afternoon, the
house committee on railroads and
commerce voted to kill the Sankey
2 cent fare bill. Prominent railroad
men were before the committee tc
protest against the measure, among
them P. s. Eustis, general passenger
agent of the Burlington system, who
came over from Chicago to address
the cc1nittee. j. F. Merry Of the IL
linois Central and others also spoke
against the bill, while Representative
Sankey, the father Of the bill, made
the argument in it's favor.
The bill provides for maximum
2-cent fare en- all railroads in the
state, and is similar to the bill that
recently passed the Ohio legislature.
The railroad men pointed out that the
average rate in the. state Of Iowa
was little over 2 cents a mile, and
that any reduction would work a
hardship on the railroads or would
tend to increase the fare and excur.
sion rates; it might also injure the
train service in the state.
Aside from the officials of the
various roads, there appeared before
the committee to speak againss the
bill several employees Of the roads,
who urged that no Legislation along
the line suggested be taken.

1W0-cENT FARE
BILL IS NOT DEAD

Des Moines, March 23.-The San
key two-csnt fare bill will come be-
fore the legislature for passage, the
house yesterday morning having re-
fused by vote CT 40 to 40 to indefi-
nitely postpone the bill. The house
committee on railroads after an ex-
tended hearing on the two-cent fare
bill recommended 1t for indefinite
postponement, but On a minority re-
port in favor of the bill, the house
declined to thus sun'marily kill it off.
On motion Of Kendall of Monroe the
two-cent fare bill was accordingly
made a special order following the
primary election bill Friday.
The minority report in favor of the
twocent fare bill was filed by Lundt
of Tara. Van Eaton Of Lyon-O sceola,
De Mar 81 Davis and Lowrey of Cal
houn. Chairman Wise OF the rail-
road committee moved to substitute
the majority report pcstponing the
bill indefinitely for the minority re-
port. On roll call the adoption of
the majority reiort was defeated by
a vote of 40 to 40. Eleven more
votes will pass the two-cent fare bill
through the house and it's friends
claim they will have that many from
the twenty absentees.

The explosion was heard through
out the city. In the business portion,
which is about eight blocks from the
lighting plant, there was a muf1ed
sound, distinct but apparently from
q great distance.
As nearly as could be learned, Dor
ris and Seebert had been assigned to
look for a break in pipe at one
side Of the plant. The two men were
searching for the leak and it is sup
posed that one lighted a match to
guide him. The explosion which fol
lowed carried 10th men into eterni-
ty, killing them within the twinkling
of an eye. There was a terrible
blast of gas. fire and heat with the
explosion and this powerful expand

Bleeding broken members of the
mems bodies were burned instantly
and when found were curled up and
covered with black like charcoal.
The building was formerly the cleo
trio light plant of this city and it was
close to the wires which connect
this city with Waterloo. Over these
wires are carried into Cedar Falls
the electric light and power used
throughout the city. The force of
the explosion pushed one side of the
gas plant out and this fell against
the service wires from Waterloo.
The wires were broken, bent and
twisted and instantly every electric

PASSES COMMITTEE.

Des Moines, March 1.-THE house
committee on elections reported to
the house with recommendation of
passage a substitute for the Flenni-
ken primary election bill, which sub.
stitute is almost identical with the
new measure introduced early this
Week. A number of changes were
made in the bill in the direction Of
perfecting it and in this form it will
go 10 the house with favorable rec
ommendation as substitute. 1t will
go on the calendar and may be reach
ed early the coming week. Members
found that there has been some mis-
understanding or Misrepresentation
OF the bill and it's provisions are not
as well understood as were those Of
the Crossley bill. concerning which
there had been much comment.
The house committee also acted ia
vorably on the English bill making
some additions to the Polk county

same,
