YOUNG HAS A BILL.
Maximum Freight Law Prepared by
Beloit Senator.

Senator l. D. Young of Beloit.
Mitchell county. has prepared a maxi
mum freight rate bill for introduction
in the coming session of the legisla-
ture which covers all the principal
commodities shipped from Kansas.
"This BILL said Senator Young to-
day, "has been drawn so that nearly
every commodity is included, for the
reason that if only one or two COM
modities are included, the railroads
might raise the rates on other things
to equalize the reduction.
my bill makes a reduction of from
2h to centa a bushel on all grain,
and from 10 to Is per cent on live
stock. with similar reduction on other
commodities. A bill of this kind viii
protect the shippers of Kansas, even il
the federal court holds that the state
railroad commission is unconstitution-
al"
Senator Young's biii covers the fol-
lowing commodities: Wheat, corn, rye
barley, -four. corn meal, bran, mill and
chop feed, kaffir corn, sorghum, alfal-
ia. millet, fax, brick. lime, cement,
salt, horses. mules, cattle. hogs, sheep.
coal 1t may be extended to include
lumber, merchandise. etc.

at the time this report was sent ten
bodies, nine of them of Mexicans and
one that of a white man, had been re-
covered from the wreck. This dispatch
also stated that very few were injured
and none were in the second chair and
second tourist car on No. 20, so the
conclusion is drawn at the local Off
ces here that most of the casualties oc-
CURED among the Mexicans in the
smoker and that those seriously injur-
ed were in the three cars behind it,
In Mr.. ORourke's report there was no
mention of anyone being seriously in
1ured on train No. 80 and in view of the
fact that another dispatch was rece1v-
ed from the scene that the equipment
OF this train was to be used to make

gers on 1t suffered slightly in the wreck
The track and roadbed of the line

BY an Early Morning Fire in a
Tenement District.
12 PERSONS INJURED.
Fifty Horses Roasted to Death
and Seven Houses Burned.
Property Loss Is Estimated at
200 Thousand Dollars.

New York, Jan. "A dozen persons
were injured, forty families were made
homeless, 1000 persons were driven
temporarily from their homes. fifty
horses were roasted to death and
property valued at 100000 was de-
stroyed in the worst early morning fire
New York has seen in many months.
One big tenement house at 427 West
Fifty-third street and a large boarding
stable at 429 West Fffty-third street
were destroyed. Seven tenement
houses at 426-4S4 West Fifty-third
street and 436 and 43s West Forty
fifth street were badly damaged.
Lack of adequate water pressure is
said to have been largely responsible
for the extent of the fire. Had not
one of the big fireboats which drew it's
water supply from the Hudson river
come to the rescue, the loss must have
been much greater.
One of the worst feature of the fire
was the tremendous crowd which
gathered in the streets around the
burning district and the attendant dis
order and lawlessn ess So great was
the crowd that all the police who had
been called to the scene had difficulty
in preserving anything like order in
the streets, and for a time thieves
were given almost a free hand to loot
the burned buildings. Two policemen
who had detected six young men
acting suspiciously in a house chased
the men over the roofs down to Tenth
avenue, firing several shots at them,
but all succeeded in getting away.
Another exciting incident came
when a woman among the spectators
screamed that three negroes had tried
to rob her. One negro was seen run
ming away from her and a group OF
white men gave chase. firing after the
fugitive as he. ran. After a chase OF
several blocks two detectives Joined
the Dursuers and they too began to
fire at the fleeing negro. None of the
shots reached the mark but the negro
finally gave up and was hustled to a
police station

SHOT AT THE JUDGE.
Young Woman Fires Point Blank with
Revolver.

st. Louis, Jan. 2.-Just as Judge j.
A. Mcdonald OF the circuit court had
convened court this morning, Miss
Rosa Well suddenly arose from among
the spectators and fired point blank
with a revolver at the judge. The bull
let missed him. She was disarmed ana
arrested. She was a litigant in a case
concerning a disputed inheritance that
was tried before Judge Mcdonald two
months ago.
Rosa We'll accompanied by her older
sister. Clara We'll. entered the court
room a few minutes before court con-
vened and quietly took seats on the
second spectators bench back of the
railing. Their appearance attracted no
attention and they sat quietly watching
the proceedings as Judge Mcdonald
entered from his private chamber and
took his seat on the bench. Motions
were offered in preceding case ana
an attorney had started to address the
court when Rosa We'll, without warn
ing, stood up with a levelled revolver
and fired at Judge Mcdonald. F. L.
Wetzel a witness sitting near her seiz-
ed her before she could fire a second
time and several other persons near
by sprang to the woman and wrench
ed the revolver from her hand.
She retained remarkable composure
and said: 81 ought to have got him."
Deputy Sheriff Frank Burns took
both women into custody
Judge Mcdonald did not rise from
his seat during the excitement. Take
that woman out of the court room" he
said to Deputy Sheriff Burns and when
the woman had been led from the
room and order restored the judge
turned to several attorneys, who were
waiting to make motions and said:
Proceed, gentlemen"

HUGHES MESSAGE.
New York Governor Recommends a
Recount for Hearst.

Albany, N. Y, Jan. 2.-Last nights
caucus settled the possible contro-
versies which might have made the
opening of the legislature today other
houses convened at noon there was less
solic concern in ceremonies and a
smaller attendance than last year when
the not contest for the speakership had
just closed Interest centered in the
message of Governor Hughes.
Lieutenant Governor Chanler, the
first Democrat president of the senate
in many years was cordially received.
Speaker Wadsworth. assured of re-
election was also heartily welcomed.
The governor in his message recon-
menoed recount of the votes cast for
mayor in the New ork City election
in 1905 when on the face of the returns
w. r. Hearst was defeated by George
b. Mcclellan; that the courts be en-
powered to order recount summariIy
bring action to try a title to the office
be taken from the attorney general and
conferred upon the supreme court. The
adoption of a new ballot whereon the
name of a candidate will appear but
once.
That the amount of money which a
candidate may expend to procure his
election be limited.
That the courts be empowered to re-
view the acts of political state conven-
delegates and members. s
That any general committee of a
party may adopt rules for direct nom-
nations of candidates at primaries.
- That the state board of railroad d
commissioners and the commission or
gas and electricity be abolished and a
new board be constituted with power
to enforce its orders through the
courts.
On the Hearst recount matter the
governor said:
"It is matter of the gravest concern
that the view should be largely, even
though enormously held that one who
has been elected to office has been de-
prived of his seat through invalid re-
turns. The failure to obtain sum-
mary recount through a defect in the
law has aggravated the sense of In
Justice
Referring to the lack of any limita-
ton upon the authority of political
state conventions arbitrarily to ex-
clude honestly elected delegates and
the fact that the fraudulent or cor
poration action of such a convention
or committee can not be reviewed or
said that "Minorities should not be
permitted to make themselves ma
jorities by the arbitrary seizure of po-
iitical organizations, nor through cor
courts should be vested with ample
power to review in a summary man
ner all such abuses and to restore to
defrauded persons the political rights
to which they are Justly entitled
The present scheme or regulation of
railroad operations in this state, the
governor said, is inadequate because
the board of railroad commissioners
has no authority to compel compliance
with its decisions. The expenses of
the commission, the governor assert |
ed, should not be borne by the corpor- |
ations which it regulates. Enactment |

lean. of Kings county. providing for |
