Legislature Does Not View With
Favor Plan Of Efficiency Engineers
For Return in Fall, 49,

Des Moines, April 11.-(Special. y
There will be no legislative recess, no

what the efficiency engineers" have
to report about the way the business of
the state is being conducted and return

This was decided virtually in the
senate yesterday afternoon when the
senate considered the adjournment
matter. 1t was shown plainly that
members will not stand for any recess.
They voted down every suggestion for
even postponement to give time to con-

The senate in it's resolution fixed

not be accepted by the house. More
likely the house will fix some other

This was the first criminal case OF the

v. R. ANSBAUGH
FELL FROM CAB
FIREMAN HAD NARRoD ESCAPE
IN FALL FROM RAPIDLY
MOVING TRAIN.

w. r.. Ansbaugh, Burlington fire
man who resides at S13 Jay street
had a close call last night when he
was forced to drop to the ground from
the cab Of rapidly moving train.
The train was pulling out of Chart.
ton at about IL: 80 p. m. and was run
ming about thirty miles an hour when
flue burst and blew the firebox door
open. The fire was then blown out
onto the fireman and in his endeavor
to escape he climbed down the steps
and there held on. This place of safety
was soon cut off as the fire poured
out In streams, badly burning one side
of the face and his left hand. He held
on as long as possible, but the pain he
was suffering was too great for him to
endure long and he fell to the ground.
Owing to the rate Of speed the train
was travelling he received bad shak-
ing up. Mr.. Ansbaugh suffered severe
sprains, but it is thought no bones are
broken. He was picked up and imne-
diately brought to Ottumwa, where he
received medical aid.
The engineer was uninjured, being
out of range OF the fire.

LEENY AGAINST
UTILITY MEASURE
MAYOR AND COMMISSIONERS ASK
LEGISLATORS TO OPPOSE
PROPOSED LAW.

A message OF protest against the
proposed public utility bill was sent to
the Wapello county representatives in
the Iowa senate and house yesterday
by Mayor Patrick Leeney and his as.
sociates in the operation of the city
of Ottumwa Mr.. Leeny Is bitterly OPP
posed to the measure, saying that he
believes in competition, not monopoly.
The mayor gives his stand on the
public utility bill as follows:
"The public is not receiving square
deal in the system which the great
corporations are working out for the
so-called public control of these COM
panies which serve the public, such as
railroads, the telegraph, the tele-
phones, the street railways. This talk
of public control now going the rounds
is misleading. What meaning do its
advocates intend to convey If the inten-
ton is to place the public service
corporations under the control of
commission which will eliminate COM
petition? It will be the very worst
thing that could happen to the public.
To the corporations lack of cOmpeti-
ton means lack of incentive. The big
corporation men are looking too much
to the welfare Of their corporations
and not enough to the good Of the peo-
pie. After all is said the main point
Is service to the public. The corpora
tons must not lose sight Of that
service. Service is never benefited
by monopoly. Give any corporation a
monopoly and Immediately progress in
that line ceases.
81 am not making an attack on the
corporations. am speaking on the
broad question of competition against
monopoly and public control. This is
problem to which I have given much
thought and consideration.
GAS the great corporations are ad-
vocating the passage of the public util-
ity bill, and the passage of the same
would be to their benefit alone and not
to the common people, intend to do
all can to fight it. I have sent a
message to our senator and represen-
tatives to that effect, and In doing this
I think voice the sentiment of the

Tally Hints on Farm Topics

the hogs off alfalfa until it Is we'll es.
tablished should be borne In mind l.
best results are expected. This will us
ually be during the first season OF III
growth. Alfalfa Is also used as per
manent pasture for hogs with good re-
suits.
Permanent Pastures Not Usually Good
A permanent pasture for hogs Is usu'
ally more or less satisfactory. The hog!
root it I'D and it is hard to keep a goot
stand Of desirable grasses on It. This II
not true of well established alfalfa pas,
lures. If care is taken to prevent root
ing q mixture Of white clover, or alsikt
and blue grass and timothy gives very
good results. One feature fayoring per.
manent pastures is the economy Of
fencing.
Annual Pastures.
The cost Of pasturing hogs by the
use Of annual pastures have beer
proven by experiments at some of oul
neighboring state stations to be more
costly than by the rotation method
using clover and timothy. However
tenant farmers and occasionally land
owners themselves find 1t advisable To
use annual pastures. Among the an
nual pastures rape Is one OF the best
In results at the Wisconsin and In
diana stations the results seemed to
show that the plant was equal to or su :
perior to clover. Rape Is a gross feed
er and does best only on heavy or well
mauured soil Old feed lots are ideal
situations for this crop. 1t is seeded
on a we'll prepared seeded. 1t is sown
in drills or broadcasted. When drilled,
two or three pounds Of seed per acre
gives good results-drills to Is to 20
inches apart. When broadcasted about
six lbs. are necessary. Drilling and
cultivation is best on very foul land
in order to keep down weeds until the
crop gets a good start Old hogs
should be let upon the plat until the
plants are about ~ to 16 inches high
young pigs may be allowed access
when it is eight inches.
Rape is often sown In oats or bar
ley. In that case Alto pounds of rape
are put on and the grain is seeded
thinner. One method of management
Is to use early oats or beardless bar
ley. or even any Of the varieties, as a
nurse crop and place dependence on the
rape coming on for fall pasture after
the grain is removed. Other men SOW
the grain with the rape and pasture all
good pasture crops are soy beans, cow
peas or Canadian peas with oats, root
in the green or immature stage Other
crops and pumpkins. Rye Is occasion
ally used. being sown the preceding
September with very good results. In
the case Of the root crops and pump
kins the hogs may be allowed to do the
with good results and much
saving Of labor. A word may be said
here for the hog as a harvester of
small grain. Experiments have shown
that 1t is good farm management to
allow the hogs to do this work on linn
ted areas. Hogging off corn-once
thought to be shiftless mans ruse
has nowadays proved to be very good

ANNUAL MEETING
WAS INTERESTING
BENTON STREET CHAPEL CON.
GREGATIoN HEARD REPORTS
OF LAST YEAR.

Over~100 sat down to the picnic sup
per prepared by the ladies' society
last evening at the annual meeting O.
those interested in the Benton street
chapel. Reports were heard from al
departments Of the work. All were
very satisfactory and gave much en-
| couragement for still better results ir
the future.
The report of the Ladies' Aid society
showed that the society was mode
for all other societies to pattern after
because of the peace and harmony
! that prevails at all OF its meetings
! The society reported ten social gath
erings and number of suppers
served which brought a good deal OF
money into the treasury to be applied
to the payment of the piano purchased
last year in addition to furnishing
flowers and doing other benevolent
work. -.
The Sunday school report showed
an enrolment of 100 with an average
attendance of 10 for the past year.
During this time the school raised over
$40 to give to the home and foreign
missionary work.
In reviewing the work accomplished
in the Sunday school the pastor, Rev.
E. Faris Holler called attention to
the fact that in the past three years
the school had grown from the begin
ners' and primary departments until
it now included the junior and inter-
mediate departments and that several
of the former pupils of the school were
now actively engaged in teaching
~ r. f1xx "a
"the prospects are that the school will
include all departments and when this
is accomplished the school will then
be carried on by officers and teachers
who have been trained for the work
in their own school," Mr. Holler then
told how he appreciated the loyalty
the, officers and teachers had dis
played in their zeal to bring about the
results accomplished, saying, ~ have
never been in a passionate where such
a spirit was so manifest"
The gymnasium work is another
feature that has been carried on the
year with excellent results, especially
In the girls department. The report of
the soliciting committee showed excel
lent success had attended the efforts
and all felt that the work should be
carried on as it had been in the past.
The following officers have been
elected for the coming year:
Sunday school superintendent
