of exhaustion and weakness.
The baby was toddling across the
kitchen late yesterday biting at an
apple. A particle stuck in its throat
and the child began to choke and
grow black In the face. The baby's
parents did everything they knew to
relieve the child. and were beside
themselves with fright.
There seemed no hope Of saving it
when a big touring car passed the
house. They hailed the driver and
Socjat. He put the baby and its pa

at bre,- % speed dashed for the
city.
At the hospital the exceedingly del

attempted and accomplished success

The child rallied for a time. and
the surgeons thought it would re-
cover. but the shock of the operation
and the long ride in the automobile
caused its death early today. The
case was reported to the coroner.

ence has versed him in all affairs of

to their welfare and best interests, the
Hon. L. p. Hanna of Fargo. North

Why the Ohio
Bills Were Held Up.

Taking up the three Archbold letters
relating to bills pending in the Ohio
legislature, Senator Foraker said these
were introduced in the state Legislature
by A. e. Price. chairman OF the COM
mittee on the judiciary in 1900. At the
subsequent session OF the legislature
they were materially amended and
passed and still remain on the statute
books. The amendment made them
more Objectionable to the corporation
he said.
Senator Foraker produced letter
written by Price to the late Judge viii
liam II. Webb of Athens, Ohio who
had made some inquiry regarding the
matter and which letter, he said. ex-
planned 1t.
Price wrote that the bills were pre-
pared by Ex-Governor Nash. then the
executive Of Ohio. and introduced by
him price, embodying Nash's ideas
on corporate legislation, The reason
they We're not passed at the 1900 ses-
sion of the legislature was because the
national administration at Washington
feared their passage would jeopardize
the electorate vote of Ohi6. According
TO Prices letter, at no time had
Foraker communicated with him
regarding the measure. but that
Governor Nash had said that Senator
Hanna had counseled him TO abandon
the bill at that session. that he CHan-
na) had conferred with Foraker about
the matter end that Foraker concurred
in his views. Two years later the bill
was amended and passed
Foraker said he did not recall having
consulted with Hanna about the bill.
but in view of this statement he pre-
stunned that lac had concuu,ed with
Hanna.
Foraker also read letter from NJ.
