SENATE'S BIC DAY
Full Program Mapped Out for
National Body.
Caucuses Slated for Republi-
cans and Democrats.

Washington, March 13.-Meetings
of the Democratic steering" commit
tee at 10 o'clock and the Republican
committee at IL o'clock, a Repubn-
can caucus at IL o'clock, a session of
the senate at o'clock and the pros
pect of a Democratic caucus before
the day was over, made up full pro-
gram for members of the senate to-
day.
Uncertainty as to whether the
Democratic lists would be completed
made the time for the Democratic
caucus indefinite. Democratic leaders
did not expect to complete the reor-
ganization of the senate today, how
ever. The Republicans were prepared
to offer their committee assignments
to the senate at any time.
Several of President Wilson's ap
pointments, pending before the senate
for several days, were ready for ac-
ton when that body reconvened.
These included the nominations for
assistant postmasters general, Roper,
Dockery and BlakeSlee.

SESSION APRIL 7IBIELS PASSED
Date of COnvening of Congress
Definitely Settled.
President and Underwood
Agree on Program.

Washington, March 13-President
Wilson conferred with Chairman I'm
derwood, of the ways and means com
legislation. These things were decided:
Extra tariff session to be called by
President Wilson for April Z.
Necessity for tariff revision down
ward to be recommended by the presi-
dent as the most urgent legislation.
with reference to needs of revision of
of legislation insuring Philippine leg
islation.
Special messages will be sent by the
president in which his legislative views
will be set before congress.
A conservative revision as planned
by Underwood and his committee was
approved instead of a sweeping down.
ward cut, which would disturb legiti-
mate business unnecessarily.
Neither the White House nor any of
the members of the cabinet will inter-
fer with the work of the ways and
means committee.
Free trade members of the ways and
means committee will be given no COM
fort by President Wilson in their de-
mands on Underwood for reductions in
tariff below the point the majority of
the ways and means committee may
decide as necessary to produce the
needed revenues for the government.
Frequent consultations between Pres
ident Wilson and Underwood on dis
puted import duties carried in the bill
will be held.
Harmony between the majority of the
ways and means committee and the
president will be maintained.
Mr. Underwood said afterward that
the tariff schedules would be ready
when the special session is called The
committee has voted on about one
third of the items in the tentative
schedules.
The entire tariff legislation will be
submitted to a Democratic caucus to
be held before the extra session is con-
vened Underwood will urge a schedule
by schedule revision, as tending to Sc
cure most independent action on tie
various items, and to prevent log roll
ing and trading. In this he will have
the support of a majority of the Dem
ocratic members of his committee.

The 1913 session of the legislature
wrote just 343 new 1aws-eight more
than the record of the 1911 session. In
view of the fact that Kansas Democrats
were pledged to reduce the size of the
statute books, their record for new
legislation will come as a surprise to
persons who watched the work of the
session. Two years ago the Republi-
cans put 1886 new laws on the statute
books.
Both branches of the legislature have
a record for handling many bills. In
the house a total of 963 bills were in
troduced during the session. The SEN
ate record shows S12 bills introduced.
The house record shows 33S original
bills passed, with 235 original bills
passed in the senate. The house
passed 162 senate bills and the
senate voted favorably on 1S1 house
bills. Add the number of house bills
passed in the senate and the senate
bills passed in the house and you have
343. the number of new laws enacted.
OF the 963 bills which originated in
the house, Eo1 were killed in the COM
mittee rooms, while the senate COM
mittees slaughtered 324 of the bills
which We're born in the upper house.
The other bills not accounted for were
beaten On the floor or left to die on
the calendars at the close of the ses-
S1On IN the last 1eW days the carnag
was at high tide. Both the senate and
house butchered bills with childish gIee
and more enacting clauses were re-
moved from pet measures in the last
four days of the session than in all
the other "a days of the session.
So far as the considerati ton of bills
was concerned, the legislature was in
session So days. Viewing the session
from the date of final adjournment
next Monday noon-the session will
have lasted 63 days, or 13 days over
the time for which the members drew
pay.
Both branches of the legislature met
this morning to receive messages from
the governor. Another session will be
held at o'clock this afternoon.

This is the final mathematical rec
ord of the kansas state senate for the
1e13 session. Successful in wiping from
the calendar nearly four times as many
hills as were sent up for consideration,
+he members of the senate feel that
thev have contributed a good work to
the thousands of interested constitu-
ents over the state. The upper house
ceased the consideration of all bills
late last night and today only the pre-
siding officers and few senators from
scattering sections of the state, are at
their desks waiting for Messages and
reports from the governor.
With a reputation as the most inde-
nendent and deliberative senate in
years of legislative sessions, the 40
members of the upper house are leav-

plaudits from their constituents. AL

MUST HAVE FUNDS
Future of League Baseball in
Topeka at Stake.
Effort Will Be Made to Dispose
of Club Bonds.

If the fans of Topeka and the stock
holders of the baseball team wish to
make league baseball permanent in To-
peka they must come to the assistance
of the board of directors of the Topeka
Baseball association The board of di-
rectors has decided that the indebted
ness of the team must be paid and
that they be given some money to use
in managing the affairs.
This was determined at the meeting
of the board of directors and a few
stockholders held in the Commercial
club rooms last night. The men who
have taken the managerial responsible
tiles and have handled them ever since
the purchase from Dick Cooley, have
been handicapped by lack of funds and
with a long list of debts. This has in
terfefed with the success of the team
and is believed by many to be respon-
sibe for it's position at the close of
each season.
The officers of the association be-
lieve they have collected a bunch of
players which will enable the team to
finish with better percentage this
year than at any time since Topeka
has been on the Western league circuit
Everything is arranged for the team to
stay in Topeka this season. The
players will report next Monday.
The officers have received number
of good offers for the team and fran
chise Among them is one from Johnny
king, of Kansas City, which was an
nounced several weeks ago. Another
offer has been received from AN ex-
major Lacquer, but his name is being
withheld.
A committee of officers of the asso-
ciat ton will call on the business men
of the city today and make an effort
to dispose of bonds aggregating about

and franchise will be a permanent fix

give this amount of money to the cause

ers will be allowed to transfer the team

TWENTYIN SENATE
Two Concurrent Resolutions
Passed This Morning.
ShOuse Appointed President
Pro Tenn i'm Final Hours.

The senate this morning with only
a scattering attendance voted for the
passage of two house concurrent reso-
lutionS, one encouragin Kansas rep
resentatives in congress to urge that
body to cede to this state the national
forest reserve along the Arkansas
river in the western portion of the
state and the other inviting repre-
sentatives from other states to attend
the Transmississippi Commercial con-
gress to be held in Wichita October
21 to "a.
AT the time the vote was taken
janitors and clerks were mailing up
boxes containing senate records, Wis
itors were swaying back and forth
in the members chairs and the usual
hilarity of adjournment accompanied
the good natured vote of the body.
If a call of the senate had been
demanded this morning the sergeant
alarms would have been able to
gather in twenty members from over
the state house. The trains this aft
ernoon are carrying most of these
senators to their homes. This morn
ing the following named senators
visited the chamber: Troutman,
Huffman, Pauley, Paulen, Bowman,
Howe, Davis, Joseph, Shouse, Wag-
ton, Gray, Wilson of jefferson, Price
nams and Mahin.
Lieutenant Governor Ingalls, pre-
sided this morning, but will leave the
city this afternoon. He appointed
Senator Shouse of Edwards to serve
as president pro tenn during his alb
sence and for the time between now
and final adjournment Monday.

exceed the appropriations for the last
two years the same tax levy of tbe
1911 legislature has been levied and tbe
burden of taxation will fall only on
those more able to pay as the 60
day cry Las been.
The senate this year failed absolute
ly to recognize the Mason and Dixon
line of party prejudice that usually 5i-
vided one side of the house from tbe
other. The Democrats with a WORKING,
majority of 21 members made no a+o
tempts to ride over the Republican mi
nority. At times when the Demo
cratic caucus needed and demanded
votes the followers never failed to nick
up Republican here and there Who
agreed with the progressive princinles
Party lines, attempted at times Tere
faint and without result in the finaI
senate legislation.
Although failing in a number of Mat
form pledges. the senators leaving the
city today are entering their home dis
tricts with plenty of pride and with
very few journals and roll call ex
plantations The important bills passeo
and the important measures lost have
been printed many times before in
these columns.
