PALLADIUM

NUMBER 301. MANY LAWS WERE PASSED Last General Assembly Placed Statutes on the Books of IndianaPublishing Them.280 When the acts of the; General As sembly' of 1907 are published, and it is believed now that this task will have been: completed by April 10, In diana will not" lack fof new laws; In fact it is believed that this General Assembly will have produced more laws than any previous legislative body within the last ten years. It is said by, Frank I. .Grubbs, deputy secretary of state, who direc.ts the publication, that, the acts of 1907 will contain about 280 new laws. If the. number of new acts reaches even 270 Indiana will be laboring un der more legislation when the statutes are published than at amy other time for ten years. The Assembly of 1891, which was a most vigorous body, succeeded in making only 2C6 new laws. And other legislatures since 1897 have fallen below that mark. "The Assembly of 1S97 made 6niyf197 new. laws; that of 1899, 23S; that of 1901, 266; that of 1903,- 21S, and that of 1905 only 170. All of these many new laws of 907 will go into effect when tne rook or acts is printed; that is; except those which have emergency clauses, and these are "In effect now". ARE HOLDING OFF IN DISPUTED TERRITORY .According to statements from the office1. 6f the' Central Union Telephone company yesterday that , company will never go underground in this city as long as the city requires a maximum rate clause for telephone service in Richmond. The matter of taking the poles off Main street, complying with' the order recently passed by council, has not been' decided by the chief officials of the company. There i3 no question, however, but that the company will comply with' the wishes of council in regard to this matter according to reports given out, but no haste will be used . in this" move as the company has one year to comply with the rulings of the ordinance. Large Improvements? Maide. The local manager of the Central Union . said yesterday " that it is true that large improvements had been made on the' system during the past few months', but thes'e were made outside the" uptown and Main street districts. Only the necessary repairs have been made, according to his statements, in this disputed territory NOT LONG SEPARATED Aged Wife who Has Been Sick Many Weeks, Follows Her Husband to the Grave.

GOVERNOR HARLY HAS UNUSUAL VETO RECORD Legislature Passed 5 Bills Over His Head. THE FACT IS SIGNIFICANT Not in many, years has a governor of Indiana had such hard luck in vetoing bills passed by the general assembly as has' Governor Hah-ly during the session just closed. A study of the calendar of the proceedings of both houses shows that the assembly has passed bills over the governor's veto almost as many times as i has allowed his vetoes to stand intact. According to the records Governor Hanly vetoed just fifteen bills,- arrd of this number five measures were passed over his disapproval by bath houses and have become laws: One other, the Farber insurance bill; was passed over executive' disapproval by the senate, but failed in the house owing to precipitate final adjournment, and another measure, the McCuIlough metropolitan police bill, Was voted on in the house,- but failed to pass. Not for eight years has a general assembly passed a' measure Over executive disapproval, as shown by the records arid by statements of men who have been conversant with legislative affairs for years. . The passage of five bills over Governor Hanly's veto is looked upon by those who are familiar with legislative affairs as an unprecedented procedure. This action of the assembly it is pointed out could not have been ; due to the fact that the governor disapproved of more ..bills than any previous executive. So far as vetoing bills is concerned Governor Hanly made a most modest record. Governor Durbin during his session of 1903 vetoed thirty-six measures,- more than, twice as many as met with the disapproval of Governor Hanly. Governor Hanly now has about fifteen bills on hand which he has not acted upon and if he should veto all of these, which is not likely,- he would .hardly come up to Governor Durbin's record. Not one of the. bills vetoed by Governor , Durbin was passed over executive disapproval. Going back even further in the records it is found that Governor Matthews in 1S93 stamped fifteen measures with executive disapproval, as many as have been disapproved by Governor Hanly during the session just closed. - But not a single bill was passed over Governor Matthews's disapproval. . , : - It is regarded as a .significant fact that practically all of .the important bills vetoed by Governor Hanly were passed despite his disapproval. Most of the measures which he vetoed successfully were disapproved because of errors in the title or beeause they would have been unconstitutional. The only really important measures which he was successful in stamping out were the Farber insurance bill and the. Metropolitan police bill, it is declared that a movement was on foot to pass both of these measures when the house of representatives adjourned abruptly without delay. Indianapolis Star. Educators on a Trip. J. X. Study, superintendent of the Ft. Wayne schools,- and F. W. Cooley, superintendent of schools at Evahsville, were visitors at the high school yesterday.- These men are the official eial representatives of the state beard bf education, and are making a lout of Inspection of schools for the pur pose of reporting at the next meeting of the board.

i7i 7 2 'V mZ&? 'A MEEKER BLAZING ANEW THE OLD OREGON TRAIL Quaint Character Arrives in This City. wiLL Lecture tonight Ezra Me-eker; a quaint character, a man who his been before the public eye probably more than any other in the western and middle-western states during the past few months, owing to his original and uftiiie' schefno of blazing anew the Oregon rail, arrived in Richmond yesterday from Cambridge City, at which place he left his wagon and ox team, which he has driven almost all the; way from Taco ma, Washington". After completing the blazing of the old Oregon trail to the west of the Mississippi rivej-, Mr. Meeker then decided to traverse the path of . the old national road to interest residents along the way, in the establishment of a national highway from coast to coast, in memory of those' Who first braved the unknown dangers of the far west by working their way through the forests and jungles pushing their way to the Pacific coast from the eatt. Mr. Meeker has been entirely successful s:6 fa'f, and wiil continue .on to Washington, D. C, speaking along the roid in the interest of a beautiful public highway from coast to coast. Mr. Meeker's team of oxen and wagon stopped at Cerite'rville last night and will enter Richmond this morning. Tdhight he' will give a piibllc lecture at the corner of Eighth and Main streets at 7:38 o'eloek,- explaining his purpose of the journey to the people. Friday morning he will leave this city for his old home at Huntsville, Ohio, where he was born, and which place he has not visited for more than seventy-two years. Mr. Meeker is of pleasing appearance, with his long flowing white hair and whiskers, and furthermore is a very entertaining conversationalist. The history of his life from the time he, yet a young boy, entered the distant west, up until the present time, reads like a book. His adventures during his residence in the wild and woolly west- when that section of the country was still so, and his ultimate decision to reblaze the old Oregon trail over which he traveled in its infancy, reads like a romance. Mr. Meeker while In Indianapolis wrote a book describing his travels and success up to that point and these he is selling in order to defray the further expense of his trip. "Whent asked if anyone was backing him in his scheme, he said that such was not the case, as he had up to date paid all of his own expenses simply through the love for the work which he is now engaged in. Mr. Meeker and his ox. team will no doubt attract, great attention in the city today. Huns' Shack' is Burned. Shelbyvilie, Ind., March 13. While a gang of Hungarians employed on the grade work of the Big Four railway, east of this city, was at work a mile from their camp, they discovered their shack a mass of flames, and it was consumed, with contents. Twety men lived in the building, and each had a trunk filled with clothing, all of which was lost; The fire is thought to havo started from ah over-heated stove. ...... ...i . .1

RICHMOND A LUCKY DIVISION. Majority of the Freight Engineers are on Duty. The Richmond division, according to the statements of a local engineer is the luckiest division on the Pennsylvania, as the majority of the freight engineers are now on- duty. March is always considered one of the "meanest" months of the year for freight engineers as the weather conditions are such as to work hardship with the motive power forces, particuharly upon the freights. Passengerengineers are not so exposed as their trips, are made fast and are short, and therefore they are not in the open the length of time as are freight engineers. The opening of April, it is thought will witness all engineers in their cabs, and running regularly. Early in February a number of local engineers were ifl atfd"" tfre'f ' wis "it scarcity for a time but the division has almost wholly recovered. ; IMAKING NO COMPLAINT. Wftfte Other railroads a"66rifplaming against the enforced legislation by the several different states thfoiighofit tire mfffale -'ind'- -witrn state, the Pennsylvania railroad ,is about, the only one that is not doing so.

AN AMUSING FEATURE. There is one amusing feature to the present ffefgHt 'congestion 6H the different railroads, that is, it is amusing to the men, but not so much to the women, they being peevish and petulant, thinking that ;they will riot secure their easier millinery. It is said that some, place along the line between Richmond and New York there is thousands of dollars worth of millinery due here at the present time but owing to the car shortage and freight congestion the shipments are being held back. CARS FOR GRAIN. Ats fast aa box cars' are" secirrea" by" the Richmond officials in this city they are being sent to ffi' grain dealers arid owners of elevators"' along the division for loading for Philadelphia, New York and" Baltimore shipments'. A local official said today that every car there is a possibility of. monopolizing, is used by the local division to properly cafe for the g'rain b'usJMssi which it has to be attended to.
