AMENDS
UTILITIES BILL
IN THE JOURNAL
Believed That Chances for
Amendments Being Ac-
cepted Next Week are
Good; Add to Measure.
[BY ORA WILLIAMS ]

Des Moines, March Ex-senator
Crist. from the committee on public
utilities of the senate, yesterday
placed in the journal his amendments
to the tentative bill which was printed
some time ago, by which 1t Is believed
the bill will have been sufficiently per
fected to make it acceptable to all
persons interested. 1t is expected that
the amendments will be added to the
bill early next week and 1t will be
passed over to the house. Those who
have looked into the amendments give
assurance that they put the senate bill
into first class condition and give 1t
very good chance Of becoming the law
Two Chances for fight" have
been taken out of the bill-in relation
to the commerce counsel and in rela
ton to the expenses.
In regard to the latter, it is provided
in the amendments that the public
der the law are to be assessed In pro
portion to the business which they DC
for the support of the commission and
payment of all expenses, so that the
state will be at no more expense than
to provide office rooms for the com
mission. Those who have opposed
regulation of public utilities have been
preparing to make great ado abou'
the needless expense thereof.
The clauses which wholly changed
the character of the office Of com
merce counsel and virtually abolished
that office have all been stricken out
of the bill, or will be by the amend
ments. The commerce counsel will re
main as at present and even there are
some new things added, and he car
ron his own motion intervene in mat
ters4on behalf ofythea people.
The amendments also provide tha
the findings of the commission are t.
be prima facie as to the facts regard
ing rates and all such things, but i
there Is any appeal to the courts y
shall be within ninety days after ar
order has been entered and In the
courts of Polk county. That Is intended
to cut off appeals to the courts al
over the state and to the fedora
court. In fact, all appeals are Topped
off save and except those which are
guaranteed under the constitution
which could not be evaded.
In the matter of the purchase OF
plants an important change Is made
in that the lid is taken off as to bonds
for city may borrow up to the limit
Of it's constitutional debt to acquire q
plant ordered bought by vote Of the
people. In the matter of purchase OF
plant already in operation this fol
lows merely vote of the people, but
II there is vote to construct plant
where one is already in operation, per
mission must be from the commission
ALSO
In the matter of fixing rates the
commission is to take into considera
tion only those elements which follow
the rule as laid down by the supreme
court itself. There may be separate

SCHOONERS LOST
IN ARCTIC WATERS
REFUGEE FROM WHALER TELLS
TALE OF SUFFERING OF
SHIPS CREWS.

Seattle, Wash, March 21.-The fol
lowing special cable from Nome, Alas.
ka, was received here today:
Sam Gotschalk of the whaling
schooner Moras reached Nome last
night after trip of 100 miles over the
breaking ice in Bering Strait with
news of the loss of the schooners Kit
tawak and Moras and the hardships en-.
dured by members of the crews. The
two schooners were caught in the ice
time of the freeze-up and landed boats
to prepare winter quarters. Before
the men were able to land all their pro
visions or make extensive preparations
for the winter great storm arose and
they were unable to return to their
schooners. During the storm the Ice
coming down from the Arctic regions
caught the schooners and crushed
them into a shapeless mass.
The crews, consisting Of GOtschalk
Koren, a naturalist, the owner of the
Kittiawak; Albert Gunderson and Gus
Schroeder, started out in the lone
remaining whale boat in desperate
attempt to cross the strait through the
open leads In the great foes to the
Seward peninsula.
Live on WaIrus For Months.
Captain Whiting of the Moras re-
fused to accompany them and started
south along the Siberian coast in an
attempt to reach rlover bay, where
there Is an Esquimo settlement
Whether he arrived there Is not
known. The party in the whale boat
encountered terrific storm near Big
Diemedes island and their boat was
smashed to splinters in the surf and
ice foes when they landed. For three
months the men subsisted on walrus
living In huts constructed Of stones
and ice, before they were able to at
tempt the passage over the broken ice
to the Seward peninsula and Nome.
The Kittiwaka was small auxiliary
gas schooner of fifteen tons. She was
purchased two years ago by Koren
who went north in her to make study
of Arctic wild flowers

PENDANTS is an outlaw and will meet
the fate which outlaws have met since

The evidence shows some of these
defendants to be guilty of murder. but
they are not charged here with that
crime; this court cannot punish them
for it, nor should it be Influenced by
such consideration in fixing the meas
ure of punishment for the crimes
charged.
"The certainty Of punishment. ne {
its severity, is the important consid-
GRAFTON in the administration Of Grim

that even if they desire to accom-

in view, the court must repress that
indignation which every law-abiding
citizen naturally feels at the crimes
which the evidence in this case dis
closes, in addition to those for which
the defendants have been found
guilty, and as near as may be possible
confine the punishment within its
proper scope"
Referring to the iron workers

which the government charged was
the motive which prompted John j.
Mcnamara to use dynamite as a

then by slugging and riots. He added:
But in 1906 a campaign by dyna
mite was inaugurated, and, beginning
with explosions in the East and ex-
tending from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific, continued until the arrest of the
McNamaras and McManigal in April,
1911.
THE evidence in this case shows
that almost 100 explosions, damaging
and destroying structures in process
of erection by, and machinery of.
open-shop concerns, took place, cul-
minating on the first day of October,
1910, in the destruction of the Los

OF these explosions was upon the work
Of open-shop concerns, and no explo-

able reign of terror, to enforce CON-
