jefferson City, NO., March 4.-The
administration public-service commits
sion bill finally was passed upon by
both houses of the Assembly this
afternoon.
By agreement the Senate bill was
brought up in the House at the same
time the House bill was called in the
Senate, and the Democratic majority
whipped both bills across the plate
with much satisfaction.
Every Democrat lined up for the
bills on their final passage, even in
GLIDING Carter, the boiling Senator
from Clark.
The Democrats took great delight in
delivering the finishing touches to
what is considered the strongest piece
Of legislation enacted in Missouri for
many years.
Many former friends of United
States Senator Reed stood shoulder to
shoulder with Gov. Major and the
administration, who have contended
for the fulfillment of the platform
pledge favoring the law.
Their votes for the bill are regard
ed as the strongest indication of the
development Of progressive Democ-
racy in Missouri
Senator Reed used every influence
at his command to defeat the admins
tration measure. Gov. Major, who
now is in Washington, said before
departing he had no fear that the bill
would be defeated.
The people Of this State want this
law, and no corporate influence OPP

Lawrence Mccoy Of Mayesville. There
were also two PARROTS in the room.
These were enclosed in a cage and
were burnt to a crisp, all OF the

being unrecognizable as such.
Immediately after the firemen left
the smoking charred ruins Of the
gutted baggage room, the place was
nailed up by the A. G. L. officials so
that there could be no plundering
among the ruined trunks and other

Washington, Jan. 2.-Senator Jo-
seph w. Bailey, Of Texas, long one
or the picturesque figures and striking
speakers of the United States Senate,
delivered today, before crowded floors
and galleries, his final speech as q
member of that body. Within a day
or two his resignation will be laid be-
fore the Senate and communicated to
Gov. Colquitt, of Texas, his expecta-
ton being that r. NJ. Johnson, of
Houston, will be named to fill out his
term, which would end March 4.
Senator Baileys speech was an at
tack upon the principles of the initia-
tive and referendum as institutions
which would, if adopted, bring about
the overthrow Of the present system
or American Government. He declar-
ed they originated in the desire Of pol
lticlans to escape the responsibility
for action on such petty questions as
to the location of State capitals and
the settlement Of prohibition. fights.
AS institutions of government, he de-
clared the schemes for direct legisla-
ton by the people would convert the
United States from a Republic into a
democracy, and would give it's con-
troll into the hands of "the unskilled.
the idle and the vicious"

magazines, but was stopped by the
Texas Senator with the remark that
he could make that reply outside. -
Later Mr.. Ashurst took the floor and

the system Of direct government
paid a tribute to Mr.. Hearst as
a loyal American citizen.
Galleries were crowded to their ut

FIRE DAMAGES DEPOT.
BIG ASSORTMENT OF BAGGAGE
RUINED BY FLAMES, SMOKE
AND WATER.
More than Fifty Trunks, Many Satch-
els and Suit Cases, Bicycles and
Other Articles DestrOyed-Fine Bird
Dog Burned to Death-Origin I'm
known.

FIRE Of an unknown origin was dis
covered in the baggage room Of the
passenger station at an early hour
saturday morning and for awhile it
seemed that the whole building would
be destroyed The fire laddies, how
ever, worked nobly and overcame the
stubborn blaze, but after some fifty
or more trunks, numerous suit cases
and hand satchels, two bicycles a
mail pounch and United States mail
sack had been destroyed by fire,
smoke and water.
The fire was discovered at 1.3O
o'clock in the morning and the alarm
was speedily given. While the orig
IN is not known, it is thought that the
ilre caught from the furnace, as a
hole was burned through the ceiling
OF this room into the baggage room.
whence the blaze spread, continued
It's way upward through the ceiling
or this room and the roof Of the
building. AS there was so mucr wa
ter In the furnace room Saturday
morning after the fire was extin-
guished no examination could be
made to ascertain more positively the
source of the fire.
The hose wagons arrived on the
scene sometime before 2 o'clock, but
there was not sufficient water pressure
Tor the fremen to do effective work
until the steamer was put in opera
ton at o'clock. From this time on
1t was merely matter of time before
the fire would be extinguished. The
two streams through the steamer did
good service and at 2.45 there was
no fire left, only the charred remains
OF the walls, ceiling and roof of the
building, and what had been trunks,
suit cases and other baggage.
The loss caused by the fire could
not be estimated at this time, but one
Of the railroad officials stated Sat-
urday morning, that it would be
rather heavy, especially as there were
so many trunks in the baggage room.
The number of trunks practically de-
stroyed or seriously damaged was
estimated at between fifty and seven
ty-hve, while it was impossible to say
just how many suitcases and hand
satchels were ruined. Two bicycles
and mail pouch and a mail sack
belonging to Uncle Sam were among
the articles destroyed by the fire and
