The way was well oiled and greased for the passage of the bill In the
house. Thomas Taggart had been at the state house several times In the last week, holding conferences . with party leaders, and one result was the easy way in which the Spencer bill slid through the house. There Is In

whatever character In the state under the strict supervision of the state. The bill will abolish the railroad commission and create a new commission to be known as the public service commission. This will consist of five members, who shall draw salaries of $4,000 a year. Not more than three shall be of the same political party. The threo members of the present railroad commission are to be members of the public service commission to fill out the terms for which they were appointed. The governor make appointments of members of the new commission. This commission will have full and
law. His bill was set as the special order of business for today. The state
administration was not at all anxious to let Senator Shively have the credit for the bill, so it planned to head him
off by rushing through the Spencer
bill ahead of his bill. So the machin ery was set at work. The bill was call
ed up for second reading in the house,

The special agreement with the Woolen Mills, which enabled us to put on the greatest sale in Made-to-Measure Suits or Overcoats ever held in Hammond, expired Monday evening, Feb. 3. DURING THE SALE WE DID A LARGE BUSINESS. The stylish dressers in large number were attracted to our store by our advertisements in the paper. They were quick to realize there was no misrepresentation in our announcement, and bought readily. We have made friends of them all. Because they are all satisfied. PRICE AGAIN RAISED TO $25.00 But since the sale ended there ivere so many called in person and by phone for a suit at the sale price that we have decided to compromise and continue selling Suits and Overcoats, made to your measure from pure woolens for ) x

JEE-RU-SEE-LUM." Huntington, L. I., Feb. 6. The pronunciation of "Jer-U-See-Lum," by Miss Gladys Dean In her rendition of "The Holy City," at a recent entertainment of the Huntington Historical Society haa caused a furore in the Episcopal Church, where the young woman is sloist Rector Charles E. Cragg of St. John's Church was so shocked that he wrote a note of rebuke tolhe singer, in which he said her intonations had made the number "an object of ridicule." Dictionaries have failed to bring about a settlement among the members of the church community.
this report, and whether the members
knew it or not, by mo adopting the
report it also adopted the amendments.
Of course, the amendments had never
been read in the house, and no one knew what they were or what they meant. The backers of the bill having made this much progress and having saddled the bill firmly on the house, made Its next move later In the day by calling the bill on second reading. As soon as the bill had been read Representative Cravens," one or "the democratic leaders, moved to suspend ' the rules and place the bill on passage. It requires a two-thirds vote to suspend the rules, and the vote was 76 ayes to 32 noes, and the rules were suspended. From that time on it was easy sailing. When it came to passage onlytwo men, Ault and Branaman, voted against the bill, and this they said, was because they had not had an opportunity to read It as amended. But by the time the roll call had been completed Ault and Branaman changed their votes to aye. There were a few absentees, but it was known that they were In favor of the bill, so on motion of Representative Eschenbach, the republican floor leader, their votes were recorded in favor of passage. This made the vote unanimous, 100 to 0. This was in accordance with the program outlined by Speaker Cook several days airo and stated in these dispatches. He said the Spencer bi
would be passed by the house either on Wednesday or. Thursday of this week. It now goes to the senate, and it is hard to see how the senate can help but pass the Spencer bill and allow the Shively bill to die. The senate probably will vote on the bill
early next week.
