END OF HARD COAL
CONTROL INDICATED
Public Utilities Commission
Drops First Bar to Free
Use of Anthracite.

The Public Utilities Commission
has discontinued the rigid inspec-
tion Of heating plants in apartments
and business places, which has been
carried on for the purpose Of with
holding hard coal from such places
that could use soft coal without diff
hculty.
This announcement by Col. Keller.
chairman of the commission, is
another Indication that. the city au-
thorities will relinquish control over
fuel as soon as conditions warrant.
Heretofore the commission has de-
tailed the inspector of boilers in the
building Office to visit all apartment
houses and stores the owners of which
claimed they could not use bituminous
coal.
In all cases in which the inspector
reported that the boiler was not adapt
ed to soft coal use the commission is
sued a special order giving that build
ing hard coal.
Although this restriction has been
taken off, Walter C. Allen, executive
secretary of the commission, stated
yesterday that the commission will ex-
pect all consumers who can use soft
coal to do so for the general good of
the community.
Anthracite was scarce in Washington
and many consumers who were caught
with small pile in their bins had to
'ake coke ii they wanted fuel imme-
diately.

WEEKLY RESUME Of THE
MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE
CHANGES IN DANCE BILL
Measure Is Questioned as "unwise At
tempt to Regulate Morals"

Important amendments to the dance
hall regulation bill were successfully
resisted during long debate on the
measure in the house, sitting in com
mittee of the whole. The bill finally
was advanced to the calendar.
The bill, offered by Representatives
r. A. Wilkinson and c. w. Grand.
strand In the house, is Identical with
one by Senator George H. Sullivan
Both bills have been recommended by
cozamittees after several hearings.
The house voted down one amend
ment by Joseph Masek Of st. Paul tc
exempt the three large cities from its
provisions. An amendment by r. W.
Hitchcock was carried requiring dane
es in city or village covering three
or more fractional townships to get a
permit from the governing body Of the
municipality.
Otto C. Neuman offered an amend
ment to exempt dances run by county
fair associations. This was fought
hard on the ground that some fair as
sociations conduct dances all through
the year, and that 1t would be unfair
to exempt them, also raising the ques
ton Of class legislation. C. NJ. Iverson
questioned the wisdom of the bill az
an unwise attempt to regulate morals
Other speakers defended It warmly
urging the necessity for some regula
tion Of country dances as a protection
to young people.
Several other amendments were al
the desk for action, and Colonel Viii
kinson proposed sending the bill to the
calendar with the privilege Of amend
ment. This carried.

Measure Reported Out Of Committee
Without Recommendation.
The Pattison House bill providing
for capital punishment for the crime
OF murder on conviction, was amend
ed in the House committee on crime
prevention to conform with the Sen.
ate amendments adopted to the Sulli.
van bill and was then reported out OF
committee without recommendation to
the House.
The amendments adopted provide
that the jury in its discretion shall
impose the death penalty or life i'm.
prisonment on conviction of the &C
cused, and that in case of jury dis.
agreement, the presiding Judge shall
fix the penalty which is no case shall
be tho death penalty.
Another amendment provides that
in a case where the accused enters a
plea of guilty to murder in the first
degree, the presiding Judge shall have
the power to impose the penalty foi
the crime. This provision is general
ly construed to mean that the pre-
siding judg. in his discretion shall!
impose either the death penalty OF

LEGISLATIVE SIDELlGHTS.

Resolutions adopted by the South
st. Paul Commercial club protest
against the bill pending in both houses
of the legislature, prohibiting the sale
in the state Of butter substitutes
which contain butter fat. The resolu
tions say that such law would be
discriminatory, unjust and intended
to suppress competition" also tending
to curtail the market for part OF the
product Of the beef cattle grower.

progress Of Mayor Leach's high dam
bill. The House committee on cities
held hearing on the measure at which
Mayor Leach, Ex-Governor John Lind
and Alderman John Peterson spoke for
the bill. Mayor Leach insisted that he
has delayed disposition of the power al
the high dam until the present legis
latiVe session, and that now the legis
lature must decide whether 1t shall

The Neuman measure TO mold prt
mary elections in September instead Of
May has slipped through the elections
committee and the debate by the House
committee of the whole without any
trouble, but is due to be fought by
farmer legislators. The rural members
argue that September is not a good
time for the primaries because farmers
are busy and have no time to vote.
Otto C. Neuman, who introduced the
bill, believes the present system OF
May primary drags campaigns over too
long period.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP. ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and

Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result Of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con.
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms Of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. Dr..

be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions

the present law are sold at auction. 1t
Is claimed that this works injustice.
especially to owners of expensive
guns, and a hot fight is in prospect
over the bill
The part time school bill which
would require attendance in school
four hours a week of boys and girls
who are working, was recommended
for passage by the education commit.
tee of the House. Several hearings
have been held on the bill and the
committee took action irrespective OF
the fact that hearing had been ar.
ranged for.
Senator John G. Sweet Is sponsor
for bill codifying the laws of the
state as to conditional sales contracts,
where partial payments are made,
There are several laws now on the
subject, somewhat conflicting. One
change in the proposed act is that such
contracts would be filed with the reg.
lister of deeds instead Of with city
clerks. ......
Action OF the house committee on
taxes killed the Quinn bill to repeal
the law for official publication Of per.
sonal property tax lists outside the
three large counties. The committee
recommended that the bill be referred
to it's author. Evidence presented at
hearings showed that much unassessed
or underassessed property has been
uncovered by publicity under the pres.
ent-law.
Two bills requested by the council
and the city planning commission
were reported out by the cities com
mittee of the house. One amends the

height of buildings and density of pop
ulation in any given area, and the 9th
