heavy calendar.
Divided Report Expected
The house judiciary committee this
morning arguedfover house bill that
would make inedical clinics open in
stead of closed corporations. A pub
lie hearing was deferred until to-
morrow morning. A bitter fight on
the floor OF the house is foreseen by
some members OF. the committee as it
becomes apparent that the committee
is horelessly deadlocked on the ques-
tion and will probably submit divid-
ed report.
Repeal Of the statute settling lig-
mite freight rates was recommended
by the house committee on railroads
following a hearing at which Attorney
General George Shafer and freight
rate experts advised that such action
be taken.
The bill would repeal the present
law, by which the legislature estab-
lished the rates, and return the rate
making power of the state railroad
board.
The reason for such action, the
committee was told, is that the rail-
roads have appealed from the statu-
tory Ignite rates and the Interstate
Commerce Commission has found
them to be too low. A raise in lig-
mite rates was forecast but the COM
mittee was advised that it would be
k"'ter N have the adjusting done by
the state board than by the Interstate
Commerce commission, which has full
power to set aside any state laws on
the subject.
The federal body would hesitate
longer to upset rate made by the
state railroad board than at changing
rate set by legislative enactment,
Shafer told the committee.
Witnesses agreed that raise in
Ignite rates is certain but felt that
the amount of increase would be low.
err if made by the state board than by
the federal body.
The bill authorizes the state rail-
road board to begin an investigation
Of all intrpstate and interstate rates
on coal and other fuels.

kilometers saturated with salt, can
be turned into a formidable eontin-
qal electric power Of over 80 mil
lizards Of horse power.
In the document addressed 20 the

power lies in the bay west Of AL

vailable in other points on both
sides of the Strait.
Explaining the course of energy
there, Zurano pointed out that to
get an approximate idea Of the wa

Mediterranean Sea, one must imag-
inc Il huge cube of water three
times and one third higher than
Mount Everest running at eight

Chicago season is to be run off to-
day with the revival of the Lincoln
handicap at the Lincoln fields race
course. The event is over a mile

1t is a rich and crowded field that
probably will go to the post in this
major event this afternoon. Only
the absence of the Kentucky derby
winner serves to detract from the
Importance o. the event.
