the bill as would have to be made as a
result of this substitution.
The utilities bill before the house by
the minority report of the judiciary
committee goes far beyond the instruc-
tions of the Morgan motion by drafting
an entirely new bill which appears to
only cover city utilities effectively by
, giving city councils control over them
and practically let's the giant corpora
tions that do business all over the
state out of the net altogether
For instance. the weak points of the
minority bill now espoused by enemies
Of the administration bill, lie in the
fact that they provide for 100 or more
cities controlling one great corporation
that does business in all of them either
through it's wires. tracks or pipe lines,
which could hardly be done constitu-
tiOnally or practically as in the case of
a single state commission dealing with
such corporation in its entirety as it
affects the, entire state.
In other words the strength of the
utilities idea is scattered broadcast and
weakens instead of being made COM
pact and strong.
The idea of home rule as applied to
corporations only doing business in one
city or county has advantages over
state commission and the compromise
administration bill is now amended to
allow this and apply the state commits
sion to the control of the big corpora
tions and those doing business over the
entire state.
StubbS Is Satisfied.
Governor Stubbs, speaking today of
the proposed utilities bill compromise
said: This compromise suits me.
What I am standing out for is a law
that will enable the state of Kansas to
control the utility corporations; to ap-
pear in court against them on equal
grounds in case justice is demanded
from them for the people; to enable
the state to know as much about the
corporations business transactions as
they know themselves; to give the state
ammunition with which to fight power
full corporate interests
ANY compromise that. does not af-
feet these vital parts of the bill suits
me-"
The Kansas University appropriation
bill as recommended by the ways and
means committee passed the senate
this morning. 1t now goes to the
house. The committee. had.,cut down
to be appropriated for new buildings.
gents and the chancellor have been en-
phatic in their statement that the
maintenance part of the appropriation
could not be cut without graet detri-
ment to the institution.
This view is undoubtedly correct as
such a statement is made on the honor
of the regents and the chancellor and
is the view taken by the committee.
1t would therefore seem fitting and
commendable for the house to pass the
bill without further eliminations than
those made in the committee and just
as it came from the senate today.

New YORK Stock Markell.

Wall ST., New York, Feb. 06.-STOCKS-
A lively demand for stocks was in evil

in prices was the result. Union Pacific

Gates and Allis-Chalmers preferred fell a

The rise in prices encountered opposition
after it had proceeded a little further,
large offerings of the metal industrials
outside the Steel stocks causing general
reaction. Although these specialties suf-
fered severe net losses, the Railroad stocks
retained a. fair measure of their advances.
The market rallied later.
Business dwindled to small proportion
with further rise, but the advances were
well held. Consolidated Gas rose 3, Canad-
ian Pacific 19s, Atlantic Coast Line and
Wisconsin Central preferred 2, the COM
mon, Kansas and Texas preferred and
Central Leather preferred 11z, American
Car preferred 1Ss, and Baltimore and Ohio,
Norfolk and Western Southern Railways,
American Car, Pressed Steel Car, Republic
Steel preferred, North American and
Western Union a point or more. Mime

ferred sold at a decline of f. Toledo, st.
Louis and Western, Pressed Steel Car pre-
ferred and Tennessee Copper 2, and West

Bonds were irregular.
Prices continued to harden slowly on
very limited dealings. The Copper stocks,
which had been materially lowered in the
ing and there were also important gains
in many of the railroads. Atlantic Coast

The miserable fate of Sodom and
Gomorrah and the other cities of the
Plain as well as the destruction of
ancient Ninevah, were not to be COM
pared to the recent earthquake and
tidal wave that ravaged the southern
coast of Italy and Sicily, sweeping
into eternity in a moment of time
more than one hundred and fifty
thousand persons, and scores of towns
being laid waste. Those who were
killed outright seemed, indeed, more
fortunate than those who wandered
like ghosts amid the ruins of their
former homes, without food or
shelter. After the earthquake came
the tidal waves sweeping shoreward
to the height of thirty feet, complet-
ing the work Of devastation which
had begun, and carrying out to sea
AS the days go on the unspeakable
horrors of the over powering catas
trophe are only.confirmed. History
will perhaps never divulge it's suprem
est individual tragedies, for earth and
sea ruthlessly claimed thousands of
human beings, and the flames merci-
lessly completed the unfinished
devastation. From every country on
the face of the earth, money and sup
plies are pouring in to help the
stricken people that have survived
the shock.
