RAILROAD BILL
BECOMES A LAW
PASSES BOTH HOUSES AND RE-
cEiVES APPROVAL OF PRES
IDENT TAFT.
STATEHOOD BILL FOR ARIZONA
AND NEW MEXICO ALSO
FINALLY APPROVED.

Washington, June 20.-Two of the
most important of administration
measures, namely the railroad and
statehood bills, were acted upon
finally by congress and the form
er became a law when President
Taft affixed his signature at 1915
last night. He did not sign the state
hood bill .ts,s.{..s.
Action was taken by the house, the
senate having previously disposed OF
both measures. It. was accomplished
practically without debate and in rec
ord time, not even roll call being
required in the whole procedure.
Action on the statehood legislation
was accomplished with even greater
ease. BY reason Of pressure from the
white house and aided by some dip
1omatic work by Postmaster General
Hitchcock, opposition to the accept
ance Of the senate amendments to
the statehood bill was almost entirely
dissipated. The democrats were in
duced to forego their objection
through judiciOus circulation of a re-
port that if the bill went to con-
ference it might not emerge during
the present session.
It cannot be stated definitely when
Arizona and New Mexico will come
into the union under this legislation,
as it requires that the constitutions
adopted by the proposed states must
be ratified by congress and approved
by the president. Many believe 1t will
not be before the presidential election
of 1912
The deficiency appropriation bill.
carrying nearly 100000, also was
passed by the house.
The senate discussed motion by
Mr. Bristow to discharge the commit
tee on judiciary from further consid-
GRAFTON of the resolution providing for
the election of United States senators
by direct vote, and a motion by Mr.
Carter to concur i'm the house amend
ments to the postal savings bank bill
Neither motion was acted on.
Mr. Bristow said he meant no dis
courtesy to the committee. He said
that legislatures of % states had de
clared in favor Of direct vote, while
four other states had direct primar
les. Therefore, he was of the opinion
that congress should no longer delay
in providing for a change of system
Other speeches were made by Messrs
Clapp, Beverage, Cummins and Hey
burn; the first three in favor of popu
lar elections and the last against.

MRS. PHIL ALLEN
LOSES HER SUIT
2g.:F4 -----
..GAEt ~
JUDGE STEVENS HOLDS. SHE 70
NOT ENTITLED TO rNSUR-
ANcE POLICY.
SHALL RECOVER AFTER DEATH
OF HER BANKRUPT
HUSBAND.
Madison. June 20.

Madison, June 20.
Judge e. Ray Stevens Of the circuit
court Saturday decided against Mrs
Edith L. Allen in her suit against the
Central Wisconsin Trust company
which is the trustee of Philip Alien,
Jr., bankrupt Allen is serving TEN
years at the Leavenworth prison for
wrecking the First National bank at
Mineral Point During the tendency
of his case he was adjudged bank
rupt and the Central Wisconsin Trust
company was appointed trustee.
Among the assets of the banker was
an insurance policy Of $4,000 of which
Mrs. Allen Is the beneficiary. She
sued the defendant company to get
possession of the policy.
The court held that the defendant,
as trustee, has contingent interest
in the policy which will ripen into an
absolute ownership of the proceeds
of the same If Mrs. Allen does not
survive Allen.
'Tt follows that the defendant has
the right to hold the policy and col
lect the annual dividends until sucn a
time as the death OF the insured de-
termines the respective rights of tne
plaintiff in and to the policy" de-
clared the court.
Judg> Stevens concludes:
That upon the death Of Allen, IL the
same shall occur during the life OF
the plaintiff, Mrs. Allen will be enti-
tied to recover the insurance proyid-
ed for in the policy
That the defendant will be entitled
to recover the insurance upon the
death of Allen if he shall die after
the decease of the plaintiff.
That the defendant is entitled TO
collect each year the annual dividends
that shall be paid on the policy.
That the defendant is entitled to re-
tain possession of the policy until AL
len shall die and then In case the
plaintiff shall still be living, the de-
| PENDANT is to deliver the policy to her.
That the complaint Of the plaintiff
be dismissed with costs and dis
| bursements to be taxed according to
law.

Nioht Blindness.


Inability to see by day is matched by
the commoner night blindness which
most Of us have known in friend or
relative. This defect, which includes
an inability to see even by artificial
light. Is cOngenital with some people
and never overcome. 1t is often he
reditary. 1t may also be caused. how
ever, by long exposure to an overnight
light, coupled with fatigue. A strange
story is told concerning a ships crew
two centuries ago which were over
come by night blindness so extreme
that their captain was obliged to force
a fight with Spanish privateer dur
Ing the day. knowing that by night his
men would be helpless. In order to
obviate this difficulty for future occa-

one eye bound during the daytime,
