Congress Asked To Withdraw
Right To Fix Rates.
Would Curtail Presidents Ar
bitrary Ruling on Roads.
SHIPPERS ASK FOR ACTION
Says Shippers Are Against Gov
eminent Control of Roads.
They Want Legislation To
Right Matters at Once.

Washington, Jan. 24--Withdrawal
Immediately by congress of the arbi-
trary powers possessed by the presi-
dent to fix freight rates was asked
today by Clifford Thorne, representing
various shippers, before the senate in
terstate commerce committee. He
said incalculable injury would be suf-
fered by the shippers unless this was
done.
Mr.. Thorne told the committee that
government operation of railroads was
SO distasteful among the shippers of
the United States that were a popular
vote taken today it would be defeated
Overwhelmingly.
The railroad administration, he
said, however, had accomplished some
good things that must be saved out
of the wreckage, and to that end he
recommended remedial legislation dur
ing the interval before the ultimate
disposition of the roads was decided
upon. He advocated amendment of
the existing law SO as to restore the
suspension powers of the interstate
commerce commission; strike out the
clause which, he said, attempted to
make the orders of the president su-
perior to state and federal law and
add a provision requesting the direc-
tor general to pay final judgments
against common carriers under his

FLU IN FROM COUNTY
Topeka Suffering Because Shawnee Is
Not Careful?

That the present increase in fnflu-
enza now current in the city is due to
the disease travelling into town from
the county is the opinion of Commits
sioner w. L. Porter. 1t appears that
the closing of the Gage Park school on
account of the prevalence of influenza
was followed by the closing of the Col
lege Hill school and the Lowman Hill
school for the same reason
This morning Porter got in touch
with Henry McAfee, chairman of the
board of county commissioners, ask
ing that McAfee put man out in the
county to see that all houses harbor-
ing>cases of influenza were placed I'M
der proper quarantine and to enforce
the regulations regarding guarantees.
McAfee, who spoke something about
the expense connected with such a
movement, cid not know, said Com
missioner Porter. that the city of To-
peka was spending close to $4,000 a
month in taking care of influenza
within the city. Commissioner Porter
is insstent in his statements that no
| matter how effectual methods of keep
ing down the disease prove in town,
nothing of any permanent value can
be accomplished unless the county is
| better regulated.
| At 1880 o'clock today the disease
chart at the office of the public health
| department indicated eighteen new
| cases of influenza. 1t seems apparent
| that the disease is maintaining a high
| err averagesthan has been the case for
several weeks.

FRATERNAL men IN
Ninth Annual Meeting of Kan
sas Body in Topeka.
Congress Represents Interests
of 100000 Persons in State.
WATCH LEGISLATION CLOSELY
Present Laws Are Satisfactory
to Organization Now.
J. n. DOlley of Topeka Is Presi-
dent Fraternal Work.
WATCH LEGISLATION CLOSELY

Delegates to the ninth annual meet
ing of the Kansas Fraternal congress,
which is now meeting in Topeka, dined
at the Chamber of Commerce at noon.
According to J. n. Dolley. president
of the congress. about fifty different
fraternal insurance organizations were
represented in the gathering of insur-
ance bodies affecting the interests of
close to 100000 Kansas people.
The congress is held every year,
says DoIley, and on years when the
legislature is in session the meeting
is held co-incident with the meeting
of the legislature. The purpose of the
meeting is the consideration of legis-
lation either desired or undesired by
the fraternal people and the formula
ton of plans either to assist in get
ting desired measures thru the legis-
lative mill or in deterring the passa ge
of undesirable bills.
Present Laws Satisfactory.
According to George r. Allen of
Kansas City, Kan, attorney for the
congress, the present laws of the state
of Kansas affecting fraternal organi-
cations are very satisfactory and they
desire no changes in any of the exist
ing laws. Neither, says Allen, are
they anticipating any measures that
will incur the organized opposition of
the members of the congress.
In line with the growing tendency
displayed by fraternal organizations in
other states the organizations of this
state are desircus of having new
measures passed that will make it
possible for them to build homes or
sanitariums to take care of the aged
or sick members of their society. I'm
der the present laws, says Allen, this
cannot be arranged satisfactorily. Ac-
cording to Allen this feature of de-
sired legislation is the only item which
the congress will give large degree
of attention to during the present ses-
sion.
Officers of Congress.
The officers of the congress are
as follows: j. n. Dolley, president;
]. NJ. Kirkpatrick, vice president; Mrs.
j. B. Belts, secretary The
executive committee consists of P. J

SENATE NOTES
Items of Interest From Upper
House of Legislature.

The Kansas Academy of Science
will go out of existence on the first of
next July if a bill introduced in the
senate today by Pomeroy. of Atchison
and jackson, passes The Kansas
Academy of Science has boosted

most learned men of the state but in
recent years It has been having a hard
struggle and Sena tor Pomeroy believes

During its morning session the SEN
| ate took things easily today and the
senators spent great deal of their
| time eating apples at the expense of
F. G. Bergen who allowed his clerk
10 allow him to get the wrong copy
For the Kansas reserve bank bill into
the hopper. AS 2 result of this care
lessness the bill had to be reprinted
and Senator Bergen was fined an ap-
pie treat which he paid today.
Only eight new bills were introduced
during the morning session One OF
these by Metcalf. of Lawrence, pro-
V1des that fraternity and sorority
| houses that are given fire protection
| by the fire departments of the cities
in which they are located, be required
| to pay for this protection The bill
provides that in case a fire depart
| ment is called to a fire at any such

is not paid.
| The next most important new bill

| which gives the. county commissioners
| power to erect permanent BUILDINGS
| and provides that if enough money is
not available for the completion of a
building already begun, the commits

Another bill by Metcalf provides
that the royalties derived from sand
taken from state streams be turned
| over to the water commission fund ex-
| cept where they go to special leyee
and drainage district funds.
After the Introduction of bills there
came the first large report of bills
| from committees. which means that
the senate will now be able to get
down to floor work whenever it de-
sires.
That the committee on federal and
state affairs is favorable to the cree
ton of memorials to soldiers and. sail
ors was shown by its report on bills
introduced by Walter Z. Wilson and
| A NJ. keene providing for such me-
| MORALS These bills were recon-
mended for passage. The Wilson bill
gives the county commissioners power
to erect monuments and the Keene
bill gives the voters of any county the
power to compel the commissioners to
erect monuments as well as allowine
the voters to decide on the sites for
them. Similar bills introduced by
Senators Whitney and Plumb were un-
favorably reported. The same COM
mittee on state and federal affairs
does not favor the plan to add anoth-
er legal holiday to the calendar. Two
bills introduced by Keene and highs
wonger providing that November IL
be declared legal holiday were re-
turned with the recommendation that
they be not passed.
The judiciary committee does not
favor granting permission to Henry
