VETO BY GOVERNOR AHEAD

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb, %, (Spl)-
Indications point to stormy weather
ahead for the metropolitan police law.
The Mccullough bill, which takes the
power of appointing the police COM
missioners out of the hands of the
governor and places that power in the
hands of the mayors of the several
cities, passed the house by a large
on cities and towns made a divided
report on the bill.
Senators Will Wood and Kirkman
signed minority report favoring the
indefinite postponement of the Nc.
Cullough bill. Senators Pearson,
Bower, KistIer and Stotsenburg sign
ed the majority report favoring the
passage of the bill. There was no
discussion on the measure today, as
both sides agreed to permit the bill
to be printed. Senator Hawkins did
not sign either report.
1t would not be surprising if the
senate passed the Mccullough bill.
as the general sentiment in the SEN
law.
If the senate does pass the bill it is
understood that the governor will ve-
to it. He has made no public state
ment regarding the matter, but in pri-
vate conversation he has spoken in
opposition to the measure.
Senate Committee Hearing.
B. B. Johnson, president of the
commercial club, at Richmond, ex-
pressed the general belief at the hear
ing before the senate committee on
cities and towns, last night, when he
said that he was afraid that the pres
ent metropolitan police law would be
repealed by the passage of the Nc
Cullough house bill.
From the general sentiments ex-
pressed here tonight said Mr.. John
son, Il am very much afraid that this
bill will be passed and
become a law. And If this does re-
suit, l want to register the pred.c-
tion that before many years have
passed the legislature Will be called
upon to enact the law again.
Against Mccullough Bill.
Mr.. Johnson and Wilfred Jessup,
the prosecuting attorney of Wayne
county, both spoke in defense of the
present law and against the passage
of the Mccullough bill. The strong
point that both made in defense Of
the present law was that it took the
police department of the city out of
politics. and in effect, made for an
efficient system.

HanIy's Signature is All that Is
Necessary to Give Hoosiers
2-Cent Fare.
REDEEMABLE REBATE SLIP
PASSENGER PAYING FARE Oh
TRAIN MUST PAY ADDITIONAL
ONE HALF CENT WHICH HE
MAY HAVE REFUNDED.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb, %, tSpl.)-
The house amendments TO the Bland
2-cent a mile passenger rate bill were
concurred in this morning by the
for the governors signature. The act
establishes a maximum rate of two
cents a mile when tickets are bought.
When cash is paid on trains, the con-
ductor' may charge one half cent more
a mile, but the excess is to be cover
ed by rebate slip which shall be
redeemable at any ticket Office of the
road. Children between the ages of
five and twelve years shall be carried
for half fare.
Plain talks by conductors rather
than elaborate addresses by the high
salaried railroad attorneys are respon-
sible for the concession made to the
railroads that an extra charge, to be
repaid later. may be made when cash
is paid on the trains. When the bill
was in senate committee, the attor-
neys of all the big roads appeared
before the committeeman and urged
that penalty be placed IN the bill on
the failure to buy tickets. Their eff
forts availed nought. and the bill was
passed by the senate as a measure
for a flat 2-cent rate
Conductors Arguments Won.
When the bill was considered by
the house committee, a number of con-
ductors actively engaged in the SER
vice, appeared before the COMMITTEES
men and pleaded that an extra charge
be countenanced on trains when cash
is paid. They gave practical reasons
for this. They pointed out that it is
their duty as conductors TO operate
the train, not to act as fiscal agents
for the company; that the safety of
the train and the passengers depends
in large part upon the conductors be-
and not compelled to
make change; that ticket Offices are
and agents employed for
the convenience of the public, and
that the public should be urged to buy
tickets.
No Actual Addition to Cost
The conductors insisted that the
companies did not care par
ticular1y for the additional half cent a
mile. and in substantiation OF this
they suggested that the rebate plan
be adopted whereby slip shall be
issued TO cover the excess charged
when cash is paid. The house COM
nitteemen considered favorably what
the conductors told them. They re-
that the proposed am
endments be made. The amendments
were made by the house. and the bill
as amended was passed without dis
senting voice.
The concurrence this morning by
the senate in the house amendments
was victory for the conductors who
came to Indianapolis to plead for
what they regarded their companies
aud their own right

Disaster and Death

San Louis obispo, Cal, May 10
Following the four wrecks this month
on the Santa Fe railroad in which at
least hundred Shriners and their
relatives en- route to Los Angeles
were injured. nineteen people were
killed and more than a score were
wounded, some of them so seriously
that they will die, in a wreck on the
Southern Pacific that occurred at
Honda station Saturday afternoon. =.
Four cars of the passenger train on
the Southern Pacific coast line, toge-
ther with the engine and tender, were
hurled from the track. when the rear
wheels of the locomotive hit loose
switch rail.
Many of those who escaped instant
death in the first crash of the wreck
were fearfully scalded as they lay
pinioned to the ground beneath the
tons of wreckage.
Running at high speed. while ap-
preaching the little station of Honda,
sixty-lve miles north of Santa Bar
bara, the huge engine suddenly leap
ed from the track, it's rear truck torn
from the frame. and dragged after It
all but three of the seven cars of the
train. piling them up n a splintered
mass alongside the rails.
The baggage car was thrown com
pletely on top of the engine, while
the diner Immediately following the
baggage car was wedged beneath the
locomotive, where clouds of steam
and boiling water were pouring down
upon its helpless inmates.
II was by far the most disastrous
wreck that ever occurred on the coast
line. both In point of lives lost and
in rolling stock destroyed.
Most of the dead are Shriners or
women relatives of the mobiles from
Eastern Temples. Practically all of
them are from Pennsylvania, New
York and Ohio branches of the or
der.
