BIG POINTS
ON UTILITIES
Bill Being Satisfactorily
Worked Out and it Will be
Finished Today.
Bill as Passed by the Senate
Will be Amended and
Much Improved.

Columbus O., May 26It is expect
ed that the conference committee on
the public utilities bill will agree on
all disputed points before noon today.
After hearing the natural gas
people last Yesterday the committee
excluded all lobbyists from the
room and went to work on the final
consideration OF the bill Newspaper
men were permitted to remain IN
the room so that IL could not be
charged that the thing was done be
hind closed doors.
The bill, as passed by the senate.
was amended in several particulars
by the committee. the most impor-
tant of which was the reinsertion in
the bill of the clause compelling the
physical connection of telephone lines
and the Joint use of street railway
tracks. This was the bill
as it passed the house but
the telephone people and the
street railway people succeeded In
having it cut out by the senate com
mittee. The physical connection so
far as the telephones is concerned,
however, applies only to long distance
lines
/ An agreement was reached also as
to the basis upon which rates are To
be fixed. The senate's proposition to
take into consideration the market
value of the stocks and bonds was
cut out and the commission is in
structed to take into consideration

Helena Has Water Trouble.

HELENA, March 18.--Two iniunc-
ton suits have been begun az ainst the
city OF Helena, one in the federal court
here by G. f. Bockus, receiver of the
Helena Water Works company, and
the other at Townsend by ranchmen.
Mr.. Bockus seeks an Injunction to
prevent the city issuing $3.50, 900 bonds
to install new water works system,
on the grounds that the source of sup:
ply will not be sufficient for the needs
OF Helena, that the city Is without au.
thority to divert the waters of Beaver
creek into Helena except when there is
flow of 26I inches and then for only
four months in the year, that the plant
proposed cannot be installed for the
total OF the bonds voted.
In the suit at Townsend the ranchers
allege that they have legal right to
use all the waters flowing In Beaver
creek, subject only to the prior appro.
priators of waters, and subject only
to the use of such prior appropriations
In the ordinary course of irrig alton
and also the right to use all of the

Complains Of Discrimination.

WASHINGTON, M arch 16.-Alleging
that gross discrimin alton is shown by
railroads in favor of the Universal
Portland Cement company, both in the
10 after of rates and In that OF regula-
tions for shipments, the Alpha Port
land Cement company of Jersey City,
N. j., which operates cement plants in
various places in the country, insti-
tuted today a complaint against the
Baltimore & Ohio and practically all
other carriers in the territory east of
Chicago and in the northwest.
The complainant AYERS that the Uni.
versal Portland Cement company is
controlled by the United States Steel
corporation, and through that afilia.
tion obtains freight rates which are
materially lower than those granted
to the Alpha Portland Cement com.
pany. 1t is asserted that the discrim.
ination prevents the Alpha company
from competing in certain markets
with the Universal company.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-Victor
o. Johnson of Shoshone, Idaho, gen.

emily refused to grant concessions.
"While the freight rates on wool
from the Pacific coast to the Atlantic

Mr.. Johnson, "wool growers of the
intermountain states who produce the
largest proportion of wool in the
country, are required to pay S1.65 6
hundred pounds from intermountair
territory to Chicago, about half the
distance railroads haul wool from
the Pacific coast.

Was Prominent In Copper War.

BUTTE, March l7.-Miles Finlen.
one of the best known men in the west,
died this afternoon at the hotel that
bears his name, after lingering i'll.
ness. His death has been expected for
long time. Several days ago his
brother, Patrick Fiulen, died. The
body was held for q while and now
the two brothers will be buried to-.
gether.
Miles Finlen was native of County
Wexford, Ireland, but came to Am
erica when he was four years old. The
family lived in Canada a while and
then came to this country, locating in
California. There Miles went into
mining and went later to Virginia
City, Nevada, in the Aourishing days
of that camp. 1t was there he met
Marcus DAILY and the two became fast
friends, the friendship continuing to
Mr.. Daly's death. Mr.. Finlen came
to Montana in territorial days and
engaged Ia mining in Butte. 1t was
his alleged deal with Heinze that led
to the famous fight between the copper
interests here. Finlen was said to
have sold the mine to Heinze for q com
paratively trifling sum. The effort to
show the agreement was not good
one precipitated the war and Heinze
finally got the mine.
