apart. As soon as it was known that
the committee had decided to kill the
activity of the scientists by a failure
to report to the house a measure for
their support some of the Washing
ton correspondents telegraphed the
news of the matter to their papers.
Instantly the bird protection societies,
the sportsmen, the farmers Institutes
and the farmers individually all over
the country became busy.

audience Of delegates on the PRO
gress of Organized Labor"
He traced the progress of labor from
the time centuries ago when should
two or more men get together to dis
cuss wages, they were branded with
hot irons, to the present time, declar-
ing that now labor had taste of free
dom but not its due.
cit is not our purpose he said, "to
fight capital or corporations, and we
readily agree to aid when competition
demands difficult tasks of our en-
ployers. But it is generally the case
that when a corporation is without
competition and should pay better
wages, they refuse to do so, while
those with competition do better by
US who do the work.
Short talks by delegates and others
followed and the session adjourned.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS.

Chicago, Feb. 2.-WHEAT-Diberal re-
alizing sales brought out by yesterday s
sharp bulge in prices caused weakness in
the wheat market here today Some of
the less Influential shorts and pit traders
were inclined to buy owing to an advance
of &c to nc at Liverpool, but the de-
mand was insufficient to prevent a decline
of 1kc or more in the distant deliveries
Prices at the start were NC lower to &c
in the day May sold off to $1.OS5s@1OSA.
Liberal sales of July by commission
houses caused additional weakness later,
May declining to $1.OS1s@1- 0SA- The market
closed weak with May off 6sc at $1O815
CORN-Increased offerings of corn from
the country as reported by receiving
houses had a depressing effect on the corn
market, commim ssion houses being free
sellers. May opened unchanged to a shade
lower at 6S1sc to 6312@6Sasc and declined
to 63lzc.
The market was heavy all day owing
chiefly to the weakness of wheat The
lowest point for May was 631sc. The close
was weak with May down Csc at 6S1s@6394c
OATS-Oats were easy because of the
weakness of wheat and corn. May opened
unchanged to 1sc lower at 52lsc to 521zc and
sold off to 51Ac-
PROVISIONS-As a result of the bear
ish showing of the monthly statement of
contract stocks in store here made public
yesterday and especially in regard to lard
holders of provisions were inclined to take
profits which caused moderate weakness.
Prices at the opening were unchanged to
5671zc lower.

bill. Mr.. L. e. Myers of the local
street railway and electric light COM
pany. continued his argument before
the committee.
tions Of the bill and stated his obiec-
tons to particular provisions and rec
commended changes. He believed this
Dill should provide for variation of 3
per cent IN electric meters. To section
6z he proposed an amendment provid-
ing that no rate shall be made by the
commission that shall prevent the pub
lie utility earning at least 10 per cent
on the valuation of the corporations
property as found by the commission
he characterized section 70 as the out
law provision. This section allows ex-
lstlng public utilities, at any time prior
TO expiration of their licenses to sur
render the same and receive in return
an 1ndeterminate permit" The speak
er submitted an amendment STIMULATING
If the law should be repealed the rights
and franchises surrendered by the util-
tty shall be restored and shall be in full
force and effect as formerly. Mr.. Myers
said his companies will come in under
that provision if the legislators will
change the bill SO as to permit them to
do SO.
Mr.. Doran, of the same corporation,
read to the committee a court decision
relative to franchises and valuations.
Mr.. Doran declared that while he is at
torney for the railway and lighting

of the idea of this bill yet he had
views of his own concerning the bill.
He recalled in a flash of eloquence the
early history of Kansas and Topeka
and briefly pictured future progress of
the state. Interurbans and other pro-
gressive enterprises must depend upon
capital outside of the state for de-
velopment and he feared the effects of
such a law as is proposed upon future
investments. He also thought such a
law was not advisable because succeed
ing legislatures might make drastic
changes in the law and corporations
under the act could have no guarantee
of what might be done to them. The
time for adjournment arrived just after
Mr.. Doran had related an amusing
story and while the senators and cor
poration representatives were in good
humor, Chairman Price announced that
the further hearing would be continued
at 4:30 this afternoon.

Republican VIII Be Inaugurated
Lieut.. Gov. in Missouri.

Jefferson City, Mo, Feb. 2.-Jecob
F. Gmelich, Republican, will be in
augurated lieutenant governor of Mis-
souri,. He was declared elected by the
assembly in joint session after the re-
count committee had reported that
Gmelich had received 346,642 votes as
Painter, Democrat. The report of the
committee set out that on the face of
the original returns Gmelich had been
elected by thirty votes and on the face
of the amended returns Painter had
been elected by twenty-seven votes but
the Legislature had provided for the
recount of the ballots of st. Louis and
certain precincts in other counties of
the state and that on the recount
more than 1900 ballots had been re-
jected because of being improperly in
itialed about equally divided between
the candidates but that when sixteen
precincts of the Nineteenth ward of
St. Louis were reported many ballots
were found to have been improperly
initiated and the committee disagreed
The Democrat contended that not
counting such votes, would have Civ
en- Painter a majority, but since no
fraud had been found and Painter
had declared he did not want the Of
flee il not shown to have been fairly
elected, the Democrats yielded to the
Republicans and agreed that Gmelich
had been elected.
The joint assembly did not vote on
the question as the law does not re-
quire a vote when such a report is
made

experiment of making oil from the
weed in a mill erected for the pur-

proved very successful and the
farms in this section have gone in
