CENSORSHIP BILL UP
Senate Also to Take Up Mothers
Pension Measure Today.

Two measures of importance and
upon which there is likely to be
great deal of debate are due for con-
sideration in the senate late this aft
ernoon and tonight
One is the motion picture censor
ship bill. 1t passed the house and
has been made a special order in the
senate AS passed by the house it
provides that the board of censorship
shall have its headquarters at Kansas
iCty instead of Topeka. 1t also pro-
vides for a censorship fee of S1.00 in
stead of $500 and abolishes the APP
peal board.
The other bill provides mothers
pensions. 1t does not make it COM
pulsory upon county commissioners to
grant the pensions and makes little
change in the present law. AS intro
duced it provided that the commits
sioners "shall' grant the pensions 1t
was amended in the house to may"
and its friends have no hopes for it
unless the senate amends it making
it a mandatory measure. 1t is ex-
pected that the fight in the senate
will develop over the attempt to sub
stitute 'shalr' for may"

WOfkmen Compensation Meas
dre Comes Up Tomorrow.
Getty Serves Notice That He
sWiII Wage War on 1t.
he ! SAYS IT is VICIOUS
Drawn in Interest of Indemnity
Insurance Companies.
Proposed Law Would Be Unfair
to the LabOrers.

Fireworks are scheduled for the
senate Tuesday afternoon at two
O'Clock Just before the noon recess
today the compensation act passed by
the house was made a special order
for that hour. And in putting it on
special order Senator Getty, of Wyan-
dotte, outlined his plan of attack. He
made it clear that he intends to fight
III from the moment it comes up for
consideration.
senator Getty declares that the
MEASURE as passed by the house is an
"eviI piece of legislation" that it is
not merely an amendment to the pres
eut CONDENSATION act but a complete
" new measure with no redeeming
features.
III has been banded around the
legislature that this is AN agreed
bill. = said Senator Getty WHO IN
Heavens name agreed to it?
n represent a city in which there
are more laboring men than in any
zother city in the state. They have not
1asreed to it, They haven't had a
chance to do anything with it ! nave
here. on my desk petitions and letters
.frone hundreds of working men-l
mean men who work, not men who
work men-protesting against the
passage of this measure.
A vicious Measure.
III is stated that it is a prepared
bill. Q I'll agree to that and IL go
Farther. I'll use the synonym for
PREPARED. 1t was fixed, and 1t was
fixed in the office of the state labor
commissioner. If there ever was a
piece of vicious legislation offered TO
the senate this is it.
''It is the blood and the lives of the
working men this bill deals with and
b contend that they have chance TO
be represented here. l want them 10
come here from my county and II
nothing more, l want them to have a
look into the senate chamber while
the bill is under discussion.
I've had no chance TO appear be-
fore any committee while this bill was
n its hands but have studied it and
Rny senator who Will study 1t VIII dls-
cover and agree with me that it is
IN act wholly in the interest of in
lemnity insurance companies"
Give Laborers-a Chance.
Getty's first attempt was to have
he bill referred to the senate judi
eiary committee and submitted to a
hearing to which working men be in
vted. Failing to get the necessary
report on that motion he withdrew it
hnd consented to motion made by Sen
Rtor Malone of Rawlins, to the effect
hat the bill be placed on general or
Hers and made special order for
Tuesday afternoon. Senator McClain
pf Allen county, attempted to have
he bill advanced to third reading and
made a special order.
Getty objected to that and remarked
hat he had been in the legislature
100 long to be fooled by that move.
When a bill is on third reading it is
considered by the senate, not by the
Committee of the whole. and the SEN
ate rules apply to the debate. The
senate rules limit each senator to one
speech on each bill and to five min
ntes for each speech.

Spark From Mans Body Causes Fire.

When a resident of Dubuque, Iowa,
wearing a fur coat and rubber boots,
walked hurriedly to his garage on a
cold morning recently. he did not
realize that his movements were stor-
ing up a dangerous amount of cleo
tricity in his body. But the fact was
that the friction of his arms against
the coat caused a certain amount of
static electricity to be generated, anG
this was stored in he mans body be-
cause it was insulated from the
ground by his rubber boots. When he
sought to primo the motor of his car
with a mixture of gasoline and ether,
using a metal squirt can-probably of
copper. which is good conductor of
electric current-the can was brought
SO close to the m Jtor that a spark
was produced between it and the

can exploded, throwing the flaming
liquid over both man and car. The
