MANY FREAKS IN

PRAYING FOR ADJOURNMENT,

Bills Like the One Passed Yester-

Dies Moines, Marcn 30.-There was
something of sensation caused in
the senate during consideration of the
bin BY Ericson requiring corporations
to make annual reports and pay II
cense fees every year. The bill is
an administration measure and the
governor and all the members of his
cabinet except Auditor Carroll were
on the floor during a good part OF the
discussion. The fight commenced
just before the noon adjournment
whea Senator Saunders charged that
the people OF the state are praying
for the adjournment of this General
Assembly. let me tell the members
of this senate" said Senator Sauncers
in a very impassioned manner, that
not o1ly the railroads but every bust
ness man in this state is trembling
with apprehension of what may be
the result of this session" Senator
Turner challenged the statement OF
Senator Saunders and asked what
bills had been passed or were expect
ed to be passed which disturbed any
business interests of the state except
possibly the railroads. He admitted
there had been some freak bills intro
dueed, but said that no one expected
them to become a law. ''Let me say
to tde senator from Adams" retorted
Senator Saunders, that there are
more freaks to the square inch in this
General Assembly than We laye had
in Iowa in many years. And | want
to say further that if all the bills
which have been introduced this SEES
sion we're to become laws every bust
Eess institutions in the state would so
into bankruptcy in six months. Mr.
President, in my home city of CouI.
ell Eiaffs every wholesaler, every
manufacturer, every business Man
Of wh.tcyar calling is praying for the
adjournment of this general assem-,
bly, and will experience a feeling oil
general relief when the Presidents
gavel falls for the last time"
Senator Crossley and Senator Smith
of Mitchell each took up the cudgel
for the Legislature. Senator Crossley
said that the people of his county be-
lieved this was the best legislature
the state had hai in 20 'yesu<, and
Senator Smith said that the senator
from Pottawattamie was troubled with
mis- environments and If he would
change his business relations he
would look at things in difteren;
light. Senator DeWolf thought that
the legislature had gone far enough
for this time ald he believed that it
was Of vast Importance that the bust
ness interests of the state SHOULD feel
that the state of Iowa is back of them
ana with them rather tnan against
them. The bill as finally adopted
compels all corporations doing bust
ness in the state to make annual re-
ports TO the secretary of the state and
pay al annual license graded from
$40 on capital stock of $4,000, to
s25 on capital stock of one million
dollars or over. The bill passed by a
vote Of 26 to 10, Jones voting against
it.

bridges, your lack of service, I believe [ should have hated you. That first day in the library felt that could talk to you with frankness that need fear nothing but kindly censure-I felt that I had met a soul infinitely stronger than my own-a soul whose ideals would be safe to trust and cling to. had an unexplicable desire for you to know me as l was-as I am. 1 felt the conventionalties giving way be- fore my candor-you were yourself-you made no pretense-our environment had been so different-you were the descend ant of noble line of men-my ancestors had been sluggards-tillers of the soil neither brave nor wise-l am not such a believer in blood, but we had inherited different codeS-your prejudice against my father may be just-I am not the one to judge that-I only know that that morn- ing our souls seemed to meet and it was then that beleve-I began to-love you.' The last words were whispered and were almost lost in the crashing music of the orchestra that broke out with renewed force from behind the breastwork of pot ted palms.
 This Is my dance, Eileen"
 Miss OConnor caught her breath and turned quickly to find MT. Stafford stand ing by her side.
 Why, I thought you had gone up stairs
 to pack she said with white-lipped
 composure. ''The train leaves at 12, you
 know--Mr. Kerwin has been telling me
 the passage of the workingmans bill de- pends upon you"
 'I-had decided to stay" he said. But you must not-you will not she
 said, and her voice was half pleading. half
 commanding. You must go--it was self
 ish of me to dream of detaining you when
 so much depends upon your presence
 He was plainly relieved by her change
 oP nandate and fiattered by her belief
 in his power. but he stood undecided.
 "It will hurt me in high places If l do
 not" he said, reflectively.
 She had been used to such reasons all
 her life She wondered at her sudden
 scorn of him.
 Then of course you will go." she said "but will give you this last dance."

says-I don't know what he believes-that they have the right to belong to labor organizations. God knows it is their sole protection. You will agree to that?''
 "Go on," she said under her breath, Every high feeling man and woman who has any pity for the unequal strug- gle of the poor for justice should be on Stae.ord's side. But there Is a railroad corporation of which your father Is the chief stockholder which has blacklisted all its employees connected with organized labor. Tomorrow this bill for the pro- lection of the .workingman comes before the legislature. Stafford's vote and the vote of one other man will turn the scale in their favor, yet you try to keep him here"
 She fixed her eyes upon him with new comprehension.
 How did you know all this?" she said
 T heard it from the other side"
 But the other man-who is the other man?"
 '"rhe other man? His name makes no difference. He will be powerless alone"
 "Oh, I see!'' she said. passing her hand over her head with a bewldered gesture. ''The other man is your cousin, and the other side were afraid to approach him with a bribe, but they offered you 5000 to use your influence to keep him away from town."
 He gave a start of surprise.
 Who told your"
 MT. Stafford. He did not tell me that it was this particular bill. He said your idealistic notions would cause you to lose your place in Washington. Did the other side tell you that?''
 He answered hesitatingly.
 "They implied as much"
 And you do not care?'
 Again he hesitated.
 "I care more for my self-respect.'
 How you must hate me!' she said pas sionately and she clasped her fan so that the ivory sticks were shattered. How you will hate me when I tell you that I have persuaded MT. Stafford to stay"
 He leaned forward a little in his chair. His manner was that of an accusing judge.

 NOW, he will not find us here,' she said, and in her voice there was note of relief.
 "Then do you find his company agree able?" Her face looked wan and white beneath her pointed hood.
 ''I did not say that" she said.
 You urged him to remain"
 How did you know?"
 'I accidentally overheard you. It's a strange psychical fact that people believe their voices are muffled because of this absurd disguise"
 And suppose I did?"-. She showed no resentment. She seemed only anxious to hear his reply.
 You are evading the question: he said gravely. "I want you to be candid with me-" and even as he spoke he was won- dering at his own words. He seemed to experience a fierce sense of possession, to feel that he had right to claim con- fession from her because of her past frankness But immediately he regretted his words for her eyes, which had looked so blankly into his moment ago, now filled with tears.
 My father wants me to marry hlm' sine said llstlessly.

 But why does your father
 She interrupted him.
 "Because he is a political power in the state Father has large interests. l am to be traded for railroad pass or some thing of the sort. No, no, l don't mean that exactly" she forced little laugh. 'I must keep him here until after tomor- row-lf can"
 She rubbed her hands nervously to- gether while he looked at her for few moments in silence
 '.I understand" he said at last, and his voice was uncompromisingly stern. DO you know what you are doinS?'
 "I think so- I'm not sure of the de- tails"
 ''Then let me tell you,' he went on in the same hard tone. Stafford has es- poused the cause of the worklngman. He
