"A Railroad Bill"

The Washburn bill, a railroad regula-
ton measure, was favorably reported by
the legislative committee on railroads
for the first time in five years yesterday.
The vote was nine to six. The bill has
always been opposed by the railroad
attorneys. For three years the measure
has passed the House of Representatives,
but has been defeated in the Senate.
The bin gives increased power to the
railroad commission in authorizing it to
fix rates, make rules and regulations
governing the equipment and service OF
the roads and determine what is Just
and reasonable in the matter of equip
ment, appliances and service.

MANIS TOUCHED
while SLEEPING

Taking advantage of the trip of his
pal into the realms of Morpheus, The
odore Williams stealthily stalked into
the room which he had occupied Sat
urday night with William Jackson, at
1920 Second avenue, and, it is alleged
by Jackson, helped himself to about
81 worth of the coin of the realm
which was in his (Jackson's) pocket.
Officer Kinney was notified and he
brought about the arrest of Theo, and
this morning that young fellow was
held to the grand jury on a charge of
larceny preferred by his former room
mate. AS a result of the Saturday
night incident, Williams is today in.

revolver SHOTS
AREUNEXPLAINED
Six Cartridges Are Fired Off in
Rapid Succession Near the
Bridge to Arsenal.
POLICEMAN INVESTIGATES
Is Unable to Find Shooter, However,
and Detail of Officers Has No
Better Luck.

Six revolver shots, fired in quick
succession, startled the few people
who were abroad in the vicinity of
Third avenue near Twenty-fourth
street. at an early hour this morning,
but thorough investigation by the po-
lice has failed TO bring to light the
identity of the person who did the
shooting or at whom the shots were
directed. Officer John Furlong, who
was patrolling the Fifth ward beat last
night because of the illness of o Ger
John Kinney, heard the shots at 8
O'Clock and began an immediate inves-
LEGATION, going to the place from which
the sound of the shots apparently
echoed forth. He found nothing. He
reported to headquarters and a force
was detailed to look into the matter.
OFF OF BRIDGE.
Of1cer FuTlong stated that the shots
seemed to have been fired on the
bridge connecting Rock Island arsenal
with Davenport, but that the two
guards on the bridge had not heard
them.
