We are going to make this the greatest shoe-trading days in the history of this sale, by offering the GREATEST BARGAINS EVER QUOTED ON HIGH GRADE SHOES. When goods are sold at regular prices, nobody buys them until they are in actual need of the goods. Appreciating this fact, we are quoting prices that will induce those who are not needing shoes at present, to supply their wants in advance ON ACCOUNT OF THE 8AVING IN PRICE. A SUFFICIENT PRICE REDUCTION is bound to move goodSv whether there is a present existing demand for them or not. It never fails to do this UNLESS the people believe that the ADVERTISED REDUCTION IS NOT GENUINE. That's where the merchant's REPUTATION becomes the all-importar.t factor. Feltman does just as he advertises that is why his Sales always please. We want you to read carefully the special bargains mentioned below for this, the last week of our Great Closing Out Sale. They, represent drastic cuts, BUT WE MUST SELL THE GOODS.

TOMLIIISOII BILL STILL HAS ROCKS STREWN IH PATH 1 (Continued From Page One.)

ernts take a poke at their own party organisation.'..'' All doubt as to where Representative Walter Ratliff of Wayne county stood on the liquor question vanished yesterday when h lined up with the wets and voted with them on every proposition. He even voted with them on the Kleckner bill. This bill is a straight out repeal of the county option law and substitution of the ward and township local option. There was a divided report from the committee on that bill, and Ratliff voted with the democrats to advance - It to engrossment. It was said this morning that the Tomlinson bill may come to a final vote In the house today, though this is not certain. 5 - Will Probably Pass. The fact that the Sunday baseball as , advanced to engrossment in the senate yesterday is taken by some to mean that it Is sure to pass when it comes up for final vote. . The vote by which the' favorable . report ' was adopted was 25 to 18. Seven senators

were absent, and it is said that at least four of this seven will vote for the bill. Makes Stinging Charge. Senator Volney Bingham of St Joseph county, made a stinging charge yesterday afternoon, when the merchants bill for uniform bookkeeping and accountig in public offices was up for passage. The bill as it was presented originally provided for the appointment 6f a bi-partisan commission which should serve as the state board of inspection, and that the inspectors should be appointed by the governor, each party to have equal representation. The purpose was to make it absolutely a non-partisan matter. But yesterday the bill was amended in the senate by a strictly party vote so as to make the board consist of the governor, the auditor of state and the treasurer of state, with the treasurer of state as chief inspector. The republicans voted for this amendment and the democrats against It. The democrats said that Inasmuch as the offices of the auditor of state and the treasurer of state were two that he inspected under this law these men should not be members of the board that will do the inspecting. He Spoke ' Out In Meetin'. But it remained for Senator Bingham to speak out In meetin' when he explained his vote: "It was charged on the floor of the senate this forenoon," he said, "that this bill will create a political machine.

The republican members have not denied that charge. It stands undented. In fact it is practically admitted by the silence of the other side. And as

I am opposed to political machines I vote no on the bill as it is amended." The amendment of the bill was a disappointment to the merchant associations and commercial clubs throughout the state who were behind it and were pushing it through. It is the plan of the democrats now to have the. house restore the bill to about its original form and send it back thus amended to the senate. .The democrats say It will then be up to the republicans to take the blame for defeating its purpose. Sensation Was Sprung. A sensation was sprung by a local paper yesterday afternoon with a atory on the first page which purported to set ont the facts regarding an alleged combination between a lot of senators to control legislation. The article in question said that It Is being charged that members of this combination help each other to get. through - bills in which they are Interested and that other legislation Is allowed to drag. According to this article the combination includes these senators: Wood, Bland, Cox, Kane and Springer, republicans; and Kistler, Stotsenburg, Fleming; Shafer, Proctor and Bingham, democrats. Among those who are known not to be in the combination, according to the story are Crumpacker, , Halleck, Horace Hanna, G. E. Hanna, : republicans; and Baal, Grube, McCfcrtx; 1

Long, McCullough and Yarllng, democrats. The Charges Made. Among other things the paper said this: "Charges were made today that there is in the senate a bi-partisan combination with a permanent working agreement and that this combination has it within its power to put any kind of a bill through, ho ma.tter what the nature of its provisions. It was charged that this combination has a vise-like grip, which when fixed on a bill of a senator outside the combination throttles it to death without mercy. "These charges were made by two senators outside the combination who are sufficiently familiar with the workings of the clanj to know who all the leaders are and to have a line on most of the subordinates who are either under the personal influence of the leaders or else believe they must vote with the leaders in order to get recognition for their own measures. One senator, it is known, voted for what he regarded as an Iniquitous measure because he believed that unless he did so the combination would kill a bill which was near to his heart. "The charges which are definitely made by two senators are substantiated by several more from both parties and for some time there has been talk of a formal protest. but the anti-combination men finally concluded that there was no one to whom they could protest so they have to grin and bear it. In making the charges they withhold their names because they do not wish to stir up the enmity of the implacable allies. "

"The total strength of the combi

nation is said to be twenty-seven, and

on any bill which the combination

desires to pass the vote will be twenty-seven to twenty-three, provided all of the anti-combination men are opposed. Is Against the People. "This combination," said one senator, "has absolutely no regard for the welfare of the people, and its work has become so bold that even my constituents back home have got next to it simply by reading newspaper re1 ports of the routine proceedings of the

senate. The work of the combination

is too apparent. Members of the com

binatton act as though they had things

their own way, and they do have their

own way. All they need worry about

is getting their bills out of commit

tee. If they can once get their meas

ures to the floor of the senate, no matter how ' iniquitous or unimportant

they are and no matter how much Im

portant legislation Is waiting they can

get them through. ' There was a great hustling around among the senators when the paper containing the article appeared last evening, and there has even been talk of making an Investigation into the facts. Jnst what the outcome will be no one knows yet . - ' . Provides Police Matron. The senate passed a Wood bill, yesterday, making compulsory the ap

pointment ef aoUoe matrons la all

cities with more than 18.000 population. V It is understood that Representative Hewig, of Evansville will today introduce a bill to require all applications for franchises for public utilities to be submitted to. a vote of the people at a special election. This will, it is said, apply to all gas, water, electric light, steam heat and power companies and to street railways. A bill by Senator Orndorf was passed yesterday afternoon by the senate to authorize county recorders to make correction of clerical errors in deeds that are offered for record. It also passed a bill requiring all recognized schools of medicine to be taught in the Indiana university medical college. The Clark bill requiring the registration of voters before election was made a special order of business in the senate for 10:30 a. m., next Tuesday. A Legislative Program. It is said that the democratic steering committee has completed a program of legislation that will be followed during the rest of the session, the purpose being to make it agree with the democratic platform pledges. On the otion of trusts a bill has already been introduced. Tb platform demands an. Income

tax, rfid an inheritance tax is now be

fore- the house.

A resolution declaring in favor of

the election of United States senators by the people has been introduced.

A large number of bills relating to capital and labor are now before both

houses.

A bill for the better enforcement of the pure food law will be introduc

ed.

Bills cutting off useless offices have

been introduced. '

The platform demands a new primary law, and one will probably be

introduced today.

A bill to repeal the metropolitan

police law is now In both houses.

A bill to take the appointment of

the state mine inspector out of the

hands of the state geologist and place

it in the hands of the governor has

been Introduced. .

These are said to be the platform measures which will receive attention

from this steering committee.

The largest single flirtation plant In

the world is said to be at the one recently completed for Pittsburg. The

sedimentation basins have a capacity of 120,000,000 gallons, and the filtered

water reservoir room for 50,000,000

gallons. '
