STATE LEGISLATURE WORKING
OVERTIME SAYS ROCKWELL

So many bills are being taken up
and discussed each day now that 1t
will be imossible to discuss them all
in the weekly letters. Some of the
bills which we have discussed after
being sent to the Senate have come
back with amendments which change
their character entirely. Others have
been referred back to committees and
changed there. In the latter case the
Fish and Game bill of Thompson's has
been reported out of the committee a
second time, cutting out practically all
of the amendments which were made
before. This means that we will have
another fight to close the season on
deer. Murphy. a stockman from North
Park. and myself we're the only two in
the committee who wished to close the
season on anything.
Some OF the bills that passed the
House this week were, first, the Beay.
er Bill. The original bill had the sea

ity of the committee, OF course oh.
jected to this and I suggested the form
In which the bill was finally re.
ported out and passed. This is that

Game department. without expense 10
himself. and after killing them he may
keep the hides after they have been
properly tagged. A pheasant bill sim.
iliar in its purpose to this was also
passed. This allows the owner or
lessee TO kill pheasants on his own
premises when they are damaging his
crops. These bills seemed fair to me

ENDS LIFE ABOARD TRAIN
Buffalo Bank Clerk Uses Razor En-
Route to New York.

SYRACUSE, N. ", Jan. 30-Nathan
W. Macdonald, of Buffalo, ended his
life by cutting his throat while rid
ing on the Empire State Express be
tween Buffalo and Syracuse yester
York. where it is thought he intended
to obtain work in a bank.
Macdonald was seen entering the
wSshroom of a day car soon after the
train passed Warner. a station thir-
teen miles west of this city. A few
minutes later he was found dying on
the floor of the room by another pas
senger.
A physician in another car was
called, and with the train crew he
worked over Macdonald until the
train arrived in this city, at 4 o'clock.
The car was detached from the train
and the body of the victim was taken
to the county morgue.
An open racer was found on the
door of the washroom. 1t was said
the man probably was dead when
found. At the morgue a search OF
MacDonald's pockets showed that he
had more than $500 in his pockets
The money consisted chiefly OF $50
bills.
Papers found in his pockets showed
that he was employed at the City
Trust Company's bank, at Buffalo. He
was a member OF a Buffalo lodge of
Oud Fellows.

company that the refusal to value

company as a basis of rates, will
necessarily deprive this company OF

A refusal to value any part OF the
