PUBL|CAT TION OF THE
ACTS BY APRIL 10
Probable New Laws Will Be
Ready by That Time.
WORK is BEING HURRIED.

The Indiana acts of 1907 will com
prise exactly 294 chapters of laws and
six joint resolutions total of 300
chapters. This is the final statement
of Frank l. Grubbs, Assistant Secre-
tary of State, who has the work incl
dent to the publication of the acts in
charge. The 1907 acts will be a book
of some 700 pages. The first estimate
was that the book would have only
500 pages, but Mr.. Grubbs said that
the re-enactment of the Railroad Com
mission law and several other acts of
er than was first estimated. The 1905
acts made a book of 900 pages.
All of the 500 chapters of the book
were to be in type late Monday and by
Tuesday night all of the proof is to
have been read the first time The
final proof has been. read on 260 chap
ters, and $50 pages of the book have
been indexed
Mr.. Grubbs is afraid that April 10 is
little too early an estimate on the
date of the publication of the acts.
1T may be several days later than
this said Mr.. Grubbs, Monday, per
haps as late as April Is. This was
the date of the publication two years
ago, and we got later start this year,
owing to the fact that the Legislature
adjourned some days later than two
years ago"

MAGNATES ASKING

MELLEN I'M CONFERENCE.

Washington, March 19-''Save us
from the states" is the cry of the
railroad magnates to President Roose-
yelt
A year ago every transportation
manager in the country was working
tooth and toe nail TO beat the admin
istration's rate program. They would
never, never agree to federal control
they said. Now they are begging the
president to cover them with the pro-
tecting wing of the American eagle. A
few months has taught them that ma
tional supervision of railroads is not
so bad after all. state control may be
much worse In leaping from the fry
ing pan of the federal government they
found themselves in the fire of the
state legislatures. which from the little
experience they have had of it, is a
good deal hotter than the pan.
Many Conferences Likely.
The visit of Charles S. Mellen. presi-
ident of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad. at the white
house today. will, it is believed, be
followed by other conferences of like
nature. Other railroad men whose
interests are menaced by the law max
ers of the states through which their
lines are running. will come to add
their arguments for the prompt as
sumption of supervision by the nation
al government. The railroad mag
mates are now sorry that they did not
aid the president in his efforts to bring
the railroad business under the super
vision of the interstate commerce COM
mission for had they assumed a friend
ly. instead of an antagonistic. attitude
towards the administration, the presi-
dent would be a good deal more likely
to help them now. AS it is a case
of life or death with them the rail
road men will swallow their pride and
put on the best face they can. Il they
can only persuade the president to act
quickly enough they may be spared a
great deal of trouble and enormous ex-
pense.

PREVENT EXPENSIVE FIRE
HagerstoWn Department Was
Prompt in Its Work.
is GIVEN MUCH PRAISE.

Hagerstown, Ind. March 19.-Hag-
erstown had a very narrow escape
from an expensive fire Sunday after
noon. The large residence owned by
Mrs. Shiveley, on South Perry street,
was discovered to be on fire by John
Teeter and a friend, who saw smoke
pouring from the roof.
They entered the house and gave
the alarm. 1t was found that a por-
ton of the attic had caught fire from
a gas stove in the bath room and was
under great headway A fire alarm
was sent in and the fire department
reached the spot in very short time.
Prompt and intelligent work saved
the house and confined the flames to
a.-single room. The family did not
suspect any danger before warned by
Mr. Teeter. His timely discovery no
doubt saved the house and at least
three others, as there could have been
no way to prevent the fire from a
large building spreading to others
close at hand. Other residences in
the same block which would have
burned if the fire in Mrs Shiveleys
residence had not been put out are
Frank Mason's. r. L. Hicks, Mrs
Kepler and Chas. Porter The fire
received a great deal of
praise for the prompt work. Water
was on the fire within three minutes
after the alarm was sounded,

Various of the CounciImen Did
Not Agree With Mr.. Study
and Plainly Said So-A
Special Meeting.

Council Monday evening, despite
Attorney Study and the frowns of
Mayor Schillinger. passed an ordin-
ance suspending the enforcement OF
the ordinance prohibiting the running
of interurban freight cars on Main
street, until April 90
This action on the part of council
was unanimous but was bitterly
fought by Mr. Study. After its pas
sage Mayor Schillinger intimated that
he would veto the ordinance so for
the next two weeks it will be ineffec-
tive and when council meets on the
first Monday in April il is probable
that all negotiations with the traction
company will have been completed
and Mr.. Study will be ready to sub
nit a franchise ordinance for the COM
pany, to council. Then the council
will be asked to pass an ordinance
suspending the enforcement of the
Main street freight car ordinance un-
til October 1. at which time the COM
pany has promised to have its new
freight route completed.
To Relieve Manufacturers.
The fight made by council Monday
evening to suspend the Main street
freight car ordinance a month, pend
ing the action of council in granting
the traction company a franchise. was
for the relief of the local manufac-
turers and jobbers, of whom there was
a considerable delegation on hand to
spur the city fathers on an their hand
to hand wrestling match with the ad-
ministration.
Mr. Study, as mouthpiece for the
administration, opposed the suspen-
sion of the Main street freight car or
dinance on the grounds that If the
company were allowed to operate its
freight cars on Main street before the
city had granted the company its
franchise, the company would take ad-
vantage of the letting down of the
bars and again pursue it's delay. lin
ger and wait policy, which would
mean that Mr.. Study and the board
would once more have to take up their
fight against the company.
Asked for Weeks Time.
Mr.. Study pleaded that the local
shippers could be deprived of their
interurban freight service a week
longer and he promised that in that

WOULD NUMBER THEM
New Plan Suggested to Keep
Tab on Garbage MEN.
SOME ARE IRRESPONSIBLE.

If you see some time in the near
future a garbage man with a badge
on, please don't mistake him for
policeman or a detective. He is only
registered so that if he comes in from
the country to find garbage for his
hogs and after selecting the best in
various alley receptacles and indis-
criminately spreads the remainder
about the alley he can be located by
the number of his badge and given
punishment befitting the crime.
Numbering Only Recourse.
At council meeting Monday even
ing Councilman Englebert introduced
a resolution numbering garbage men
not employed by the street commits
sioner He stated that there had been
considerable complaint over the ac-
tions of countrymeu who came to the
city in search OF garbage and that the
only way to control these irrespon-
Sible people was to number them.
City Health Officer Bond stated that
he was glad Mr.. Englebert had
brought this question before council
and recommended that a numbering
plan be adopted. The motion was re-
ferred TO the committee on ordin-
anceS.

ORDINANCE

Probable That the City Coun-
Gil Will Amend.
FISH MEN ARE. HARD HIT.

At council meeting Monday night,
Councilman Deuker called attention to
the peddlers' ordinance, which was
recently declared valid by the circuit
court, stating that there seemed TO
be something radically wrong with it.
Mr. Deuker moved that the city attor-
ney inspect the ordinance and if he
found any revision necessary to re-
port to council
Mr.. Study stated that it was coun-
ellis duty to revise an ordinance and
not his Mr. Deuker flared up at this
remark and stated that he understood
that it was the duty of city attorney
to do as council ordered. He also
stated that Mr.. Study had not been
asked TO revise the peddlers' ordinance
or any other ordinance; the only duty
that Mr.. Study was expected to do
was 10 pick out flaws in the ordinance
and recommend corrections TO the
council.

Had q False impression.

Mr.. Study then stated he had mis-
understood the motion made by Mr..
Deuker. Mr. Deuker explained that
he thought the license rates were ex-
cessire and Mr.. Study concurred in
this opinion. 1T looks to me like it
had been drawn in the interests Of
certain merchants" said the city at
torney.
The ordinance also discriminates
reads that meats, vegetables, fish etc,
not raised by the peddler cannot be
peddled without a license. 1t is prob
able that council will take steps 70

 Wound Not Serious.

Athens, January 13.-tSpecial)-A seri- ous and peculiar accident happened late Saturday afternoon to Ausley Miller, q prominent young farmer from the east part of the county. He was standing on the public square discussing with a friend the value of a mule when he was seen to stagger and his friend asked what was the matter and looking discovered that Mr Miller had been shot. the ball entering his forehead just in the edge of the hair. He was caught before falling and hurried in a vehicle to the nearest drug store where medical aid was sum moned.
 Tho ball was a spent ball from a 22- calibre Winchester and from whence it came is mystery. It nattened itself as thin as a knife blade on his skull and when removed was as large as a niclIle.
 He suffered very much for a short time. but was able to be sent home that night It is presumed that some boys were shooting at pigeons somewhere and the ball in falling struck him. It car ried a part of his hat into the wound and embedded it against the skull per ha9s preventing the lead from entering the skull

FORECAST OF THE NEWS
 FOR THE COMING WEEK

Some of the time of the Senate and most of the time by the House during the present week will be devoted to the discussion of appropriations bile. The Senate will conclude its consideration of the legislative, executive and judicial ap- propriation bill. and may reach the h. dian bill.
 The House will finish it's work on the Notifications bill and will in turn take up the bill making appropriations for the District of Columbia and diplomatic and consular service.
 Before proceeding with appropriation hills the House will devote day to mis-
 aneous bills in the interest of the = strict of Columbia, and day has been set aside for that purpose. It is also possible that the appropriation bill be- fore the Senate will be temporarily dis placed Monday by the Foraker resolu- tion. providing for an investigation of the Brownsville riot.
 Senator Cullom. who has charge of the appropriation bill announces his purpose

Speeches are to be made by Sen ators spooner. Carmack and Stone and it is not expected that Senator Foraker will permit the closing of the debate without further remarks The present prospect is for the virtually unanimous adoption of a compromise resolution simply directing an investigation into the occurrence at Brownsville, and remain ing silent on the legal phases of the question.
 In the Senate there will be an effort to incorporate a provision in the legislative appropriation bill increasing the salaries of senators and representatives from 5000 10 s7500, and unless this proposl- tion arouses debate the legislative bill will be passed with but little discussion. There will also be an attempt to re- store the House provision for an increase of the salaries of the vice president. the speaker of the House, and members of the cabinet.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-01-14

Some of the members of the House committee on appropriations will try to secure the incorporation in the fortifica- tions bill of an amendment looking to the creation of an island for the purpose of defense with the mouth of Chesapeake bay and appropriatlng for that purpose about three million dollars when the bill comes up in the House.
 The House Is looking forward with great expectancy to the decision of the committee on merchant marine on the subject of the ship subsidy bill. The committee will meet on Tuesday and members say that the question will be finally decided on that day.
 Representative Watson, of Indiana who has consistently opposed the Senate bill now announces his willingness to ac- cept a compromise measure providing for both Atlantic and Pacific mail subsidies to South American ports. and for an in crease of the subsidy to the Australian line in existence, as well as for assist ance to a new line from the Pacific coast to China and Japan.
 The Senate will probably return to the discussion of the Shoot case on Friday when Senators Sutherland and Dilington will speak in opposition to the unseating resolution. Later Mir Shoot will address the Senate in his own behalf and the discussion will be closed by Sen ator Foraker
