It had occurred during all

about what had occurred during all
that time.
A good many members of the COM
mittee thought that the bill should be
reported to the senate for considers
ton without any recommendation as
to what should be done with it. And
after a long talk on the general propo-
sitions involved q motion that the bill
be reported without recommendation
was defeated by a vote of six to five.
The senators in the minority on this
motion were Fulton, Buschow, Cald-
we'll, Chapman and Hayden. Then a
motion was adopted to report the bill
with a recommendation that it be
passed.
Senators Tucker, Getty. Quincy.
Martin of Bourbon, Stewart and
Hodges voted for this motion and the
other five senators voted against 1t. but
hey did not desire to make minority
report. They will lead the fight on
the bill when it comes up for consid
Grafton in the senate and they will
have lots of help. 1t was the under
standing at the committee meeting
that the votes taken in regard to the
bill should not be considered as bind
ing the senators participating on any
future action they might desire to take
on the final consideration OF the bill
in the senate
Probabilities are, because of this
understanding, that couple of sena-
tors who voted to report the bill favor
ably will take the opportunity TO vote
against the measure when it comes up
for final passage.
During the consideration of the bill
by the committee communication
was read from Carr Taylor, the attor-
ney for the board of railroad commits

was nothing in 1t but hgures taken

passenger traffic and the cost of oper-a
ating trains. There were no recon-

Pounds in ST. Louis.

St. Louis, Feb. 1.-The seizure of
large quantities of oleomargarine was
begun by internal revenue officers yes
terday and continued today and more
than 1900 pounds of the product has
been confiscated. Delivery wagons of
dealers are being stopped in all parts
of the city and when packages of "oleo"
whether marked or unmarked, are
found the driver is asked to produce
orders showing that the customer has
distinctly ordered 'oIeo." If such or
ders are not shown the oleo is seized
The seizures are being made under an
old law which makes illegal the re-
mova1 of oleo in small packages from
the original tax paid packages. The in
ternal revenue commissioner has ruled
that only when the contents of tax
paid package have been bargained for
and sold in advance can small packages
be removed for delivery without a vio-
lation of the law.

This senator, though true Kansan
in spirit, has brought with him some
of the thrift of his ancestors. At the
same time he is a believer in the Kan
sas way, and some years ago, while
visiting in his home state, it is told on
him that he was called down hard. He
was Dragging about Kansas. What
you fellows don't know about real
farming he remarked to a group of
idlers, ''is a plenty. Why the rats eat
more corn in Kansas every year than
you raise.

section of his army, General Stone will
no doubt put up strong fight, but
what's the use. Railroads have a right

it. The employees know 1t, and in fact
every one knows it. They know that

president of Radcliffe college, part

the absence of women from its (the
college's) governing board as a serious
misfortune. Women have been in its
inmoSt circles from the beginning and
have done their full share in advanc-

more than their share of the work.
The presidents of Vassar, and Smith
colleges send US reports written in a
similar spirit. In the university of
Wyoming there are now three women
upon the board of trustees. II
THE president of the University of
Wisconsin in answer to our inquiries
says: The law relative to the appoint t
ment of the regents was amended in
1901 requiring the governor to APP
point one woman regent-at-large. Tt
has been distinct advantage to the
university. The appointment of one
woman regent on the board of the
university was so favorably thought of
by the legislature of the state that

are not represented on the board of

appoint woman graduate of the uni
