GAS LOBBY SHOWS TEETHJ SENATE The Interests Affected Have Headquarters in New York City. M aaa anaBaaaaaV f Palladium Special) Indlanapolia, Feb. 16. The corporation lobby I itbpwinc Its teeth In the enate. Memberi of that body who have dared to vote their conviction upon bills -which the lobby did not like have been warned their bills will all be killed, unlesa they reversed their attitude upon certain measures. The screws were turned several notches Wednesday, after the senate bad by a bare constitutional majority passed Senator White's bill regulatingthe franchises of gas and lightinn companies. The passage of the bill was the last work done by the senate Tuesday, and early Wednesday the lobby was on the floor of the senate. Carl Wood and Henry Marshall did most of the lobbying. The Interests affected have their headquarters In New York City and they own and operate a string of gas and lighting plants In Indiana. The White bill applies to fifth class cities and provides that where in such rities the gas or lighting companies have a perpetual franchise that is unrestricted as to rates and services the local authorities" may amend the franchise by fixing a time for its expiration and also by fixing a maximum rate. The bill protects the companies by giving them the right to go into

court and contest the reasonableness of the restrictions imposed upon them. Several members of the senate who voted for the bill were approached and asked to move for its reconsideration. All refused, and some of them were threatened with the defeat of all bills in which they were personally interested unless they changed front. Senator ' Hauck who fought the bill In Its passage, also took an active part In trying to get the bill reconsidered, although he made no threats against the bills of any senator. The lobby has also taken to heart the passage of the Grube referendum bill and "pet" measures of members who voted for It have been marked for slaughter. The word has gone out among the close corporation crowd that the "evening up" process must begin and some of the Independent thinking senators must be disciplined. This feeling was partially accountable for the bitterness that entered Into the opposition to Shiveley's recall bill. Senator Carleton's ; seventy-five cent gas bill for Kvansvllle is out of the ' running because of his attitude against the corporation clique, an Senator Gavlt's Hammond court bill has been given the "kibosh" by the Inner circle because of his voting for the Grube referendum and because of his support of the White gas bill. Other senators have been given a "iunchM that they need not apply for assistance in getting, their bills through. There may be a sequel to the story however, for. some of the senators under the corporation ban are getting "peeved" and. they may , make some pointed and personal observations on the floor of the senate calculated to give the corporation lobby an uncomfortable feeling and make them less prominent In the legislative halls. RICHMOND BYERS IS STILL MISSING Terre Haute, Ind., Feb. 16. Dr. 1 8. Uyera, of Seelyville, Ind., has returned home from Ola. Okla., where he had gone In response to a telegram from J.

I've Made 43 Millionaires" A ridrew Carnegie Remarks

New York, Feb. 16. The young women employed by the Leslie-Judge company listened to a short talk by Andrew Carnegie. Mr. Carnegie visited the offices to thank John A. Sleicher for the support which he had, given to the peace movement. Concerning any eligible millionaires who might come around with matrimonial intentions, Mr. Carnegie said: "Don't refuse a man simply because he is a millionaire. But I would rather be born poor than a millionaire, and I have had some experience in both directions. I have made fortytwo or forty-three millionaires in my time, but I want to say that the only right a man has to wealth lies in his acquiring it by some useful labor. The great trouble with the wealth of to-day is that the sons of millionaires, do not realize this very great necessity of being useful to the community." Contrasting toil with the advantage of being born rich. 51 r. Carnegie said: "The wives of most millionaires are not happy. They have too many luxuries and have no mental resources to fall back upon. Some of my part ners have been unjustly criticized for what was not their fault, but the fault of their wives. Mr. Carnegie then told the young women that he was very glad to see them so happy in their work. "Work that one Is not glad to do," ihe asserted, "never amounts to anything. Smile all the time. "I like to think of a story that was told me by Mr. Schwab. It was while they were having a little trouble down at Homestead, and the boys had ducked an old German in the river because he wouldn't leave the pumps. His name was Hans. Mr. Schwab met him, wet, bedraggled and looking the picture of distress. "Mr. Schwab asked what was the matter. 'Oh, I got thrown In the riv

youth, the ironmaster said that he would never forget how proud he was when he received hi first wages $1.25 for a week's work. "Nor will I forget" he added, "how 1 felt when 1 was raised to 11.50.
