DISASTROUS RAIL
TRAIN WRECK
THIRTY-TWO KILLED In TRAIN
COLLISION IN rsuICA.

La Porte Ind, Feb. 2S.-Thirty-
two bodies had been taken from the
wreckage today of the New York
Central interstate express and Michi-
gan Central Canadian flyer near
here. Although mangled limbs and
other bits of human anatomy were
still scattered through the wreck,
rescue workers believed these were
parts of bodies already recovered,
and did not believe the death toll
would run higher. Investigation in
to the cause of the wreck was stated
by state and local authorities today.
A coroner's inquest was to be held
in Michigan City. According to in
formation gathered by railroad and
police authorities today, the blame
for the wreck lay between the engi-
neer of the Michigan Central train
and the towerman at Diamond cross
ing where the wreck occurred.

FREE WOOL EN-
DANGERS PRODUCERS
SPEAKER SCORES THE PRESENT
TARIFF WHICH PROTECTS
THE MANUFACTURER.

Huron, Feb. 2S.-Farm wool pro-
ducers are getting the worst of it
in the present tariff arrangement
and are suffering from unjut dis
elimination. said c. j. Fawcett, wool
marketing director of the American
Farm Bureau federation, before the
South Dakota convention of sheep
and wool growers here.
Our manufacturers are protected
35 per cent on their finished wool
products, he said, whereas wool is
not only protected. but on account
of the rate of exchange enjoys a
bonus amounting to about 20 per
cent. The American Farm. Bureau
federation is busy at Washington on
an emergency tariff to protect the
wool industry of the United States
from absolute annihilation. He said
he believes this protection viii be
obtained.
Mr.. Fawcett said that during the
war wool was commandeered at its
1917 sales values, and the farmers
did not complain, However, cotton,
which was left open to the law OF
sapply and demand, increased in
price 80 per cent and wool advanced
only 33 per cent,
Mr. Fawcett complimented the
South Dakota Sheep and Wool
Growers association on its method
OF marketing through the big wool
pool and outlined what is being &C.
complished by other states. Wool
is beginning to move now" he said
and will move faster as the present
stocks of goods become depleted
There is not an over-supply of wool
in the country; the reverse is true.
Buyers are purchasing the cheaper
grades with the hope of bringing
down the value of the entire clip
The pooling system will win

DIED FROM
HIS INJURIES
OSCAR w. OLSON KICKED By A
HORSE SATURDAY EVEN
ING.

Oscar w. Olson, living three miles
south of Madison on the Meridian
road was fatally kicked by a horse
on Saturday evening while engaged
in doing his chores. He had stepped
in the barn to feed some calves,
carrying with him pail that was
accidentally dropped to the floor as
he was passing the row of horses.
The animal behind which the pail
fell took alarm and brought its hind
feet in full force upon Olson's body.
The unfortunate man was appar-
emily raised to the floor above. His
head struck a scanthing rendering
him partially unconscious. A con-
fusion about the size of half dol
lar was found a couple of inches
above the right eye. Undoubtedly
Mr.. Olson suffered immediate con-
cussion of the brain since he was in
jured in no other way. He was
brought to the Madison hospital for
an operation but expired before that
could be accomplished. Death oc-

FEW DAYS LEFT
FOR LEGISLATURE
SOME HARD WORK SCHEDULED
FOR REMAINING SHORT PER-
IOD OF SESSION FOR
SOLONS.

Pierre, Feb. 2S.--With less than
a week left in which to complete the
work OF the present session, mem
bers of the legislature face several
days of hard work in which to clear
up the calendar and dispose of the
numerous bills that have been in
troduced. 1t is believed that this
can be accomplished easily by taxi
ing morning and evening sessions
each day in addition TO the regular
afternoon sessions.
The past week has been hard
one for the solons. Every day has
seen the calendar pretty well loaded,
and the members have been at il
night and day, with one day off for
observance of Washington's birth
day and one evening off to enter
tain the ladies at big banquet.
This has had its effect. inasmuch
as work was speeded up and legisla-
tion shot through the mill.
Administration men and the
heads of both houses have expressed
satisfaction with the manner in
which the work is being done and
have declared that the sessions leg
islation will be accomplished by
March A.
The one feature of the week &
work has been the appearance oil
nuberous petitions calling for ini.
tiated and referred laws and for
constitutional amendments. These
were expected by the solons as il
was known they were being circnlat,
ed about the state.
Closing days of each session have
always been marked by an acceler-
alton OF activities, and a general de.
sire to keep up the work so that the
session could be closed by the sched-
| uled time.
| Under a suspension of the rules
a few new bills were introduced aft
er the time that had been allotted, to
cover the general appropriations and
a few minor matters that had been
overlooked by the appropriations
committee.
When the talk of redeeming party
pledges arose in the house, Repre-
sentative Wentzy of Pennington
who is a democrat, arose an declar
ed that he. was heartily in favor Of
the action, as he might desire some
of the democratic pledges later IL

BONUS BILL
CAUSES DEBATE
SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE
UNABLE TO AGREE.

Washington. ID. c., Feb. 2S.-The
reach an agreement today on the
soldiers, bonus bill, but republican
leaders predicted that the house
bill, shorn of taxation provisions,
would be reported tomorrow to the
senate. Doubt was expressed, how
ever, that the legislation could. be
passed before adjournment of con-
gress next week
Though failing to agree on the
bonus bill, the finance committee
acted favorably today on the Wason
bill, another measure for the bene-
fit of former service men. This bill,
which has been passed by the house,
would extend war risk insurance and
compensation benefits.
The bonus bill caused long con-
troversy today in the committee. Op-
position to the cash bonus was led
by Senator Smoet, republican, OF
Utah, and Thomas, democrat. of Co
dorado, both of whom called atten-
tion to the depleted conditions oi
the treasury.
Senator McCumber, republican, ol
North Dakota, presented figures tc
show that cash bonus would entail
a minimum cost of 81, 400, 900, 900
The increased insurance plan, Sena-
tor McCumber estimated, would cost
considerably more.
Advocates of the cash bonus, how.
ever, argued that the funds neces
sary under that plan would not be
payable for two years and by thai
time economics would be effected
which would relieve the strain IN
the treasury.
While the committee was consid
ering the legislation, flood of tele
grams from American Legion posts
all over the country advocating ths
legislation reached senator's office.
