INDIANAPOLIS GAS BILL

i6y Demas S. coe.)

Indianapolis. Ind. Jan. 1.-THE
general assembly will hold many
longer sessions than that of today.
but probably there will be few in
which as much business will be crow
ded in such a short space of time as
that of today. The senate was at
work fifty-five minutes. but in that
brief period there were thirty-one
new bills presented. committee re-
ports concerning half dozen bills
previously presented were received.
and there was still time left for poll
teal by-play between the republicans
and democrats. The most significant
thing in the way of committee reports
today was the favorable consideration
which the judiciary committee gave
to Senator Slack's CDem.) bill which
seeks to prohibit lobbyists from car
rying on their avocation i'm the usual
manner. The committee decided
that the place to thrash out bills
provisions was on the floor of the SEN
ate, not in committee, therefore re-
commended that it be recommended
for passage. In THE house. Repre-
sentative Elliott, (Rep.) introduced q
similar measure today. and tomorrow
an attempt will be made by the re-
publicans to bring about a suspen-
sion of the rules so that the measure
may be put on its passage without
further delay. The democrats. II was
asserted tonight, will oppose this. be-
cause it is their desire that the Slack
anti-lobby bill in the senate shall be
the one considered. The republicans
however, having a majority In both
branches, and therefore being respon-
sible in degree for good as well az
bad legislation, do not care to have
any glory In the way of decided re-
form measure snatched from their
grasp, and consequently. II may be

almost identical, will be the one en-
acted into a law il either of them rea-
ches that stage. There is decided
sentiment against the lobbyists this
session, but until a law is enacted
there can be no way of handling the
men whose tactics are often deemed
obnoxious.
Representative Mccullough OF An.
uclSOn tOudy Introduced the mousse
a bill to repeal the metropolitan po-
lice law and with this action there
was a big bunch of trouble brewed
instantly. In the senate. Senator
Wood will be one of the leaders
against the bill. There will be 9TH
ers who will follow i'm his wake. In
the house a number OF the most prom
inent republicans and democrats will
fight for the present police law that
controls departments i'm cities ranging
In population from 10000 to 10000.
The bill of Representative McCul-
Tough seeks to retain the board OF
police commissioners as now provid-
ed, but the radical change is I'm the
method of creating the board. The
power of appointing the members OF
the board is vested in the mayor of
the city, thus virtually placing the
control of the entire police board I'm
the hands of the mayor OF every city

INHABITANTS FLEE IN
TERROR TO THE HILLS
First Warning of Great Dis
aster Came Monday After
noon, When Elements Were
in Perfect Harmony.
IPubIishers. Press. =


Kingston, Jamaica, Via ST. Thomas,
Jan. 15.-The city of Kingston, with
Its $4,000 inhabitants, has been prac-
tically destroyed as the result of an
the island and came without warning
soon after $3.50 on Monday afternoon.
The day had been a perfect one and
the inhabitants of the city were going
about their business in their usual
manner when, absolutely without
warning, an earth tremble, apparently
passing from northeast to southwest
swept across the island, the center Of
disturbance apparently being the city
of Kingston, located as it is on the
side of the land locked harbor.
All Structures Rocked.
The houses and business structures
rocked for few moments as though
in the grip of a terrific whirlwind and
them tumbled inward, burying in the
debris, those who were inside.
Where moment before the streets
had been filled with merry, jesting
crowd of people, all was changed. Ter
ror stricken men, women and children
rushed frantically hither and thither,
while the sound of the falling walls
sounded like the reverbations of bat
teries of artillery
1t is not yet known just how many
separate shocks there were. Some
say there were three, some that there
were five, of great magnitude, these
OF course being followed by the small
er quakings. But, of course. the
damage was done by the initial shock,
which levelled houses as though they
had been built of cards and not of solid
masonry and earthwalls.
Fire Soon Broke Out.
Within ten minutes after the initial
disturbance, fire broke out in almost
every part of the ruins and the flames
worked without effort being made to
check them.
There was a hurried rush of all
hands for the suburbs but many per-
sons as they passed through the
streets were caught in the tangle OF
twisted fully-charged electric wires
and shocked to death.
Negroes Hystericaly Mad.
--. 49,. r,o,,,s fba flames
worked their will without effort be-
ing made to fight them. The negro
portion of the population seemingly
lost their heads and the few Euro
peans and Americans that were in
the city were unable to do anything
to bring order out of chaos.
Very soon, however, Sir Alfred
Jones and the governor got busy and
rushed into the heart of the city all
OF the troops available. The advent
of the disciplined cavalcade had its
effect, but ii was necessary for the !
troopers to use their weapons to con-
troll the mob.
IL was difficult task but well |
done. Just so soon as the troops had
succeeded in restoring partial order, |
the work of rescuing the injured from !
the demolished buildings was begun. |
Many heroic deeds are recorded. but |
in the confusion it was impossible to |
keep any particular track of them.
Dead Will Exceed Thousand.
1t is impossible at this time to do |
more than roughly estimate the num- |
ber of killed, but is seems certain /
that it will exceed one thousand,
among who are several very promin-
ent citizens of Kingston. Singular to
relate, it now seems that but one E,u-

which was chartered several months
ago by local people for the purpose of
boring for oil and gas, has been sub

Yesterday about thousand dollars
worth of the stock was disposed of to

the agreement of April 21, which ter minated the worst strike in the camps history. By that agreement the oper- ators were to continue the wage scale of s per day for an eight-hour day and the miners agreed that no strike or boycott would be officially declared by the union unless by a two-thirds vote of the organization. and the agreement was to remain in force for two years.
 The operators declare that agree ment was abrogated when the vote on the present strike was taken by a mere handful of miners and the question was not submitted to a referendum vote as the bylaws of the union re- quire.
 This is taken as evidence of the in tention of the operators to fight the union to a finsh and resume work in time with an open camp at s4 a day. It is intended that the mine owners all over the state shall join the Goldfield owners. A tentative agreement to that effect has been made.
