Des Mones. March 23.--The house
of representatives yesterday disposed
OF bill which had caused consider
able worry to members--the Ritter bill

struction free exercise of religious
preference" to institution inmates. The
essence of the bill as it came from the
| Judiciary committee was that 1t shall

| iicers having the management" of the
state institutions ito secure to all per-

in, or otherwise held in such inssitu-
tions, or other places of confinement,
spiritual advice, instruction, and min

man of the church or denomination
which such person may profess to ad
here to or prefer The bill provides
for privilege OF communication with
clergymen of the different denomina-
tions on the first day of the week, and
\ for calling clergymen as desired In case
OF sickness, etc. and then
No person expressing such prefer
ence shall be held by any rule of any

Quoted In accordance with the doc
trine, ritual, rites or ceremony Of any
denomination other than the one of his
preference on the day or days on which
z 49, hal
rules of the institution
1t was largely in regard to this last
provision that the question became es-
pecially delictate. A question was rails
ed as to whether or not there had ever
been any denial of the right Of an in-
mate to have spiritual service In ac-
cordance with his belief and 1t was
stated that only in very rare instances
had there ever been any such denial
A question was raised as to who should
decide whether the religious service on
the Sabbath as ordinarily conducted
was denominational and whether or
NOT the inmate might claim that he
need not attend such services because
thew are denominational In character.
In short it appeared that In desiring to
secure religious freedom the bill was
so drawn as to put an end to the un-
| denominational character OF the rellg-
ious services at the Soldiers Home,
the Orphans Home, the Industrial
schools and the prisons, and almost to
force series of denominationai meet
ings on the Sabbath day into these IN
stitutions. But the plea was made FOR
a law which would re-enforce the con-
stitution and the claim was made that
this is desired by large proportion OF
tho neonle of the state. and the bill was
nassed There was literally no opposi-
ton ton to the spirit Of the bill or what
appeared to be the intent Of Of the per per-
that the practical operation OF the law
would tend to confusion and preaklns

testify In proceedings brought by the
state of Missouri against the Standard

eral Hadley of Missouri, who is here
prosecuting the suit brought by his
state announced today he is willing to
to return to New York to see his grand
child
IF Rockefeller wants to hold his
grandson in his arms, said Hadley, I
will declare truce and allow him to
come over from New Jersey without
interference. He is an old man, and
doubtless Is wrapped up in this in
| ifant. 1f~the possibility Of his being
served with subpoena is keeping him
out of New York, will agree with his
lawyers not to try to serve him while
he is here and he can stay until it is
safe to take the baby back to Lake
wood with him, if he wants to. I don't
think I will need the testimony Of

Indianapolis, March 23-The Joint
scale committees of the coal operators
and miners Of the central competitive.
and southwestern districts, went into
executive sessions today in a final ef-
fort to break the deadlock that has ex..
listed since the conference on the wage
scale began.
Every proposition made by either
the operators or the miners has been
voted down in the preceding meetings
Of the two joint committees. The mir-s
ers have receded from their initial de-,
mands for an increase in wages Of 12 ~
per cent, a run Of mine basis, per
cent differential, eight-hour day, and
prohibition of employment Of boys at
the mines, under 16 years of age, ana
yesterday offered to accept the scale Of
1903, which would be equivalent to an
increase Of 5.55 per cent in wages in
the central competitive district and q
relative increase In the southwestern
district. This proposition was defeat
ed by the operators. F. L. Robbins,
of the western Pennsylvania operators,
moved the adoption OF the 1903 scale
with the same conditions as existed at
that time. This was defeated by the
operators Of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.
The Illinois operators are standing firm.
to their demand for relief from the ex-
pense entailed from the shot firers law

tacks were made on F. L. Robbins, of
Pittsburg, by operators Of the other
three states, on account Of his attitude
for peace. Robbins stated that he did
not propose to be dictated to by the
operators Of the other states. The

He said that Mitchell would not dare
to refuse to allow his miners to work
where their demands were met. An
effort was made to get q specific states
ment from Mitchell as to whether the
Ryan resolution was considered by him
to be in force, but he declined to mike
