through without opposition. 1t was
prepared by the judiciary committee
and met the approval of the admins
trat1on men on that committee. The
main features of the bill were outlined
IN the State Journal Monday.
In marked contrast to its reception
in the house two years ago. when 1t
held the boards through a week OF
stress and storm and was finally sent
to the scrap heap, the utilities bill this
session was passed by the house in
just thirty minutes after it was pre-
sented. There was no amendment, no
debate to speak of, not voice was
raised against its passage. All fac
t1ons and parties were agreed on its
principal provisions.
The opponents of the bill two years
ago yielded to the provisions that the
governor should appoint the commits
sioners. The friends of the bill OF
two years ago yielded to the home rule
provision
After recommending the bill for
passage, the house then proceeded to
place it on third reading for final pas
sage. On roll call but six members
voted against it.
Veatch of Washington, who voted
no, explained his vote as follows:
"I oppose the utility bill because IL
does away with the elective railroad
board and places an appointive board
at almost double salary in its place.
That 1t is not, in my judgment. need
ed. 1t will not benefit the farming
community and they will have to pay
over SO per cent of tho expenses of
such commission. That the railroad
board could do the work required by
giving them Jurisdiction over the busi-
ness desired controlled 1 am opposed
to increasing salaries of officers at the
present time.''
The other five who dissented were
Boyd of Republic, Cain of Graham
Davis of Edwards, Schaumberg OF
Rush, Stone of Sherman.
Governor Stubbs advocated the utili-
ties bill two years ago and the fight
over the bill and its final defeat was
the feature of the last session
The house will take up the remain
| ing administration measures under
special orders tomorrow, Wednesday.
| When the utilities bill was called VI
for consideration in the house thi:
morning, Davis of Bourbon introduced
and got through a resolution excluding
| all lobbyists from the floor of the
house. Following the adoption of thi:
resolution there was an exodus of the
gents with persuasive tongues and the
plausible arguments that has not beer
seen since the children of Israel lef
Egypt
The Davis resolution caught in it!
meshes some fifty lobbyists from
Hutchinson who had come to Topeka
to work for the state fair bill.

BOY OF 16A BOOTLEGGER
Willie Mcclure Caught in the Act Near
Y. w. c. A. Building.

A 16-year-oid boy was found boot
Logging at the Y. w. c. A building,
corner of Van Buren and Seventh
streets, about 10 o'clock last night. Ia
ken to the police station he gave his
name as Willie Mcclure.
Police Detective Voiles, who made the
arrest, was watching the building for
thieves who had been reported to be
working around the unfinished building
The piles of material and the fact that
the corner is unoccupied probably offer
ed a good place for the boy bootleg
ger to meet his patrons. The lad will
be turned over to the juvenile court
for trial

IN THE AUTOMOBILE WORLD
Hints for the Men Who Drive Cars-Auto Pulls Loco-

One mark of a good driver is how much he uses the brakes. The best man handles his car almost entirely with his engine in ordinary road run ming.
 Finely ,puiverized graphite in shell lac is recommended as preventive of rust on rims. When painted on the rim a smooth and waterproof film of great hardness is formed.
 A flooded crank case or starved bearings will be the result if the fine mesh screen used in the lubricating come so covered with small particles of metal or sediment as to seriously interfere with the flow of oil.
 Are the motorists who take pride in not using goggles really wise? The eye is always the target for a fusilade of small particles of dust and dirt, which show their presence by working out during the night, no matter how well the eyes have been washed after re- turning from a ride.
 When the carburetor goes wrong no part of the machine can give more trouble. The fuel level may become altered as the result of wear in the regulating mechanism, and Is the real seat of not a little carburetor trouble. The wearing of pivot points, bending of levers or abrasion of the needle valve should be looked for.
 To settle a bet about the pulling power of an automobile, a Los Angeles man hitched his 30 b. D. touring car to a no ton passenger locomotive in the Santa F'e yards and pulled it along the tracks 100 yards or more From the rear axle of the auto a heavy rope was attached to the front coupling of the locomotive. In order to secure the necessary traction for his car, the autoist put four men in his tonneau and another stood on the rope. When the automobile engine WIS started slowly the wheels whirred for a mo- ment after the clutch had been thrown in without stirring tho locomotive. Then the big engine started slowly to creep forward until the required dis tance was covered. After the test the car was driven around town to show that it was still in good working or der.
