Helena, Feb. 28.-With record Of
Is bills passing the senate and %
passing the house, the Tenth legisla-
tive session mad the SD day a red
lettered one
Legislation having to do with the
public health was in evidence in both
houses. The senate after considering
the Long state board of health meas
ure passed by the house, concurred in
it, after making three very small
changes in the verbage. The house,
in committee Of the whole, extensively
discussed Senator DOMAINS pure food
and drug and house bill together with
similar bill which provides for the
creation of the Office Of state chemist.
In order to hold club over the SEN
ate, the house recommended it's own
bill for passage, and held the senate
bill on general orders until the upper
house acts upon the bill
Without dissenting vote the SEN
@ @
ate adopted the report Of it's commit
tee on public morals, recommending
concurrence in the anti-gambling bill
which is by far the most drastic and
far reaching measure aimed at thet
evil ever proposed in Montana. Al
though the senate killed Senator Nc
Leans bill Of similar tenor, it is
hardly believed the upper house will
put this bill out of business, although
it may materially amend it.
Another notable event today was the
defeat in the senate of Aliens road
law, which passed the house and de-
veloped a strong lobby because of the
provisions which those posted on road
matters say would make the mainten-

Of the bill to which there was objec-
tion was that providing for electing Of
road supervisors. The bill was beat

ing committee.
The senate committee on public
buildings again got busy and reduced
the house appropriation for building
a hospital at the Soldiers home from
$4,000 to $4,000.
The senate judiciary committee
killed house bill No 246, making Ii
censes a lien upon salon fixtures. The
bill was designed to fit the case of
Butte, where it is claimed the state
loses a lot of money because saloon
licenses are not always paid. An eff
fort was made to reconsider the vote
killing the bill, but Harper put stop
to this, by explaining that if the
county treasurers did not collect the
licenses which should be paid in ad-
vance, they or their bondsmen should
be made liable.
The senate concurred in house

to make the railroads sit up and take

Butte, Mont, Feb. 2s.--The labor
situation here depends in a large
measure upon the action Of the smell
termen in Butte, Anaconda and Great
Falls, who are expected to meet soon,
possibly tonight and vote on prop
osition to demand an increase to 81
per day. Should the smeltermen strike
every mine in Butte will shut down,
and Anaconda and Great Falls will
lose their chief industry, as more than
10000 men will then be out of work.
At present only about 5000 miners, all
in Butte have been laid off.

Mrs. Phillips recalled to memory that

Alton in going back over their books
for a period Of many years and cap
italizing the expenditures. He said
that each succeeding board of direc-
tors had each year passed upon the
accounts and he thought such acts
should have been final
The witness repeated his testimony
OF last evening as to the transfer of
the Alton, from the railroad company
to the railway company, through Louis
Stanton, and said 1T was evident from
the books that the syndicate had
simply handed over the $22,0OO,O00.
in bonds and had received the prefer
red stock and the st. Louis, Peoria &
Northern property. Mr.. Lane asked
him how much the Hartman inter
csts had paid for the Chicago & AL
ton and how much they got out of
the transaction.
Mr.. Hilliard was unable to state
the profits. He had no means, Of
knowing. AS mr.. Lane continued to
press for some information on this
point, Mr.. Kellogg remarked: mo

"Oh, yes" rejoined Mr.. Severance,

if they did lose any"
Mr.. Cravath again drew attention
to the statement of the witness last
evening about the mortgage of the
cutoff from Murrayville to Springfield
and, as before, said that the transac-
ton had been perfectly proper from
both legal and moral standpoint
Commissioner Lane wanted to
know what had become of the mon
ey.
Mr.. Severance said that railroads
often did similar things, but the
money had usually been kept to
build the road.
Counsel Lovett and Mr.. Cravath
cross-examined Mr.. Hilliard briefly,
but he maintained his position firmly,
particularly as to the proprietor ol
capitalization Of the old expenditures
Of the Alton.
Mr.. Hail, controller of the Harri-
man lines, was then recalled and
identified number Of exhibits.
Mr.. Mahl explained that the reason
Of the board Of directors authorizing
Mr.. Hartman to borrow money in
the name of the corporation, was a
purely formal matter. It was done
to meet requirement of certain Cal
ifornia bankers. Mr.. Lovett showed
by the witness that the late G. r.
Huntington had like authority from
the Southern Pacific board and that
it was common business practice.
During the discussion between Mr..
Lovett and Mr.. Hilliard, Mr.. Harlan
read an extract from the constitution
Of Illinois, which prohibited the pay
ment Of stock dividends from the
sale of securities, raising the point
that the Alton per cent dividend
was probably illegal.
Mr.. Severance informed the com
mission that counsel for the govern
ment had no more witnesses at this
time and would ask for an adjourn
ment without date.
Mr.. Knapp then announced that the
hearing was postponed to date to
be fixed and adjournment was taken.
