CORPORATION BILL BITTERLY FOUGHT But No One Has Openly Explained What Is Wrong With the Measure.

8?ctlon l.ll It enacted by the general aHsembly of the atate of Indiana, that no corporation organised In any other atate shall have or exerclne any pow-r, authority or privilege In this statu which is not jo8fHKf! by corporations of the name claai orpanUt In this atate. Section 2. No corporation shall have or txercle any power, authority or privilege In this ataie which It dws not have In the state In which It Is Incorporated, and such corporation Is hereby expressly prohibited from doing anything In this Mate which It might not lawfully do In the state of Its Incorporation. (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Fob. 17. What Is there wrong about the above bill, which will go down In Indiana legislative history as Kill No. 105, against which there has been tho most determined corporation lobby ever known In Indiana itollMca? Nobody has yet volunteered on the floor of either house any specific objection to It. 'What Is there right about It? Nobody has yet volunteered any Bpeelflc defense of the bill, not even Senator Proctor Its father who frankly admitted before the house committee on corporations he could not explain Its provisions. When Representative Karris, of the Republican minority asked for an explanation for the bill In the house Thursday everyone was mute. 'Right, or wrong, the house Republicans ably assisted by many Democrats amended tho bill sixty different ways Thursday and sent It hack to the house committee on corporations for convivlsscence. It Is probable Ita Injuries will prove fatal, but if It does recover It will be returned to tho senate In such an enfeebled condition that the coterie of corporation senators who are hiding In wait for It will have an easy time to dispatch It quickly. It the bill Is a good bill, then Joseph Cravens deserves a Carnegie medal, while Adam Wise Is the Nrutt's and Jesse Eschbach the - Castas of this noble creation of Senator Proctor's. Hut If the bill is a vicious bill then Cravens must perforce assume the role of a modern Esau, while Wise and Kschbach are to be enrolled at the top of a long list of patriots. The evidence on either side Is purely circumstantial, but upon such m.my a man has been hung by the neck until dead. . . Protection For Public. 'That it Is a bill in be'jair of tho rights of the public and the state and would prevent Indiana from becoming tho asylum of lawbreaklng corporations Is given color by the unusual and violent opposition to It by corporation attorneys and lobbyists who are always exercised every time "vested rights" are in jeopardy. In other words, the bill Is loved for the enemies is has made. That Is a bill conceived In Iniquity and darkness and having base motives behind It is born out by the fact that nobody appears who will tell why It was framed or Introduced, what is its Intent or the exigency which called it forth. A bill which cannot be explained, or, what Is worse, which won't be explained Is usually a bad bill. And so, In the language of Rill Klynn. "Moreover on the other hand, I think you are right," - The blli was reported out of committee Thursday In the house and trouble began with Its appearance. That much, at least. Is definite. The bill spell trouble, A minority of the committee composed of the Republican members reported In favor of its indefinite postponements This did not suit the majority of the house, for even Its enemies wanted to get H whack at It. So the minority report was tabled by a vote of 51 to 41. Was No Response, " Then Representative Fans arose and wanted some of the corporation committee who reported favorably upon the bill to explain its whence and where. No response. He then extended his Invitation so as to include any ono In tho house, but the silence was just as groat. lie then declared that so far as he was concerned he would not vote for any Mil that nobody could explain, but everybody wanted. ' He would die first. This was the cue for Representative Wise, who understood the bill, but wouldn't tell. Ho thought the bill was not comprehensive enough in Its provisions. It applied only to for Children who have Grape -Nuts With cream or milk For the cereal part of Their morning meal Can study better! air Do not get faint and Hungry before noon. Grape-Nuts is easy to digest And a perfectly balanced food For body and brain. . There's a Reason" rostum Cereal Co., Ltd, - Battl Creek. Mich.

eign corporations organized in other states, and Wise insisted that some low-browed corporation organized in Tlmbuctoo for the preservation of fig leaves, or a soulless Institution Incorporated to utilize the water power of the falls of Zamebesl. might slip into Indiana over night and proceed to do things not permitted an incorporation of Churubusco. Representative Wise feared the Hamburg-American line would endeavor to put one over the amusement park at Rroad Ripple by running a trans-Atlantic steamer up White river to KIngan's. All these fears Induced him to offer an1 amendment that would prevent any foreign corporation, organized anywhere in the wide rorlil, from doing anything forbidden in the bill. Cravens walked up to the speaker's dctik and hummed a hymnabout this' being a scheme to get the bill back In the senate for final slaughter. Wise

recognized the familiar tune and replied with some warmth that he disliked Cravens (mentioning his motives which were the purest. Cravens moved to table Wise's globe-trotting amendment but the honso was in no humor to be trifled with and they tabled Craven's motion. Would Let None Escape. Kschbach took a survey of the field and found that while the bill applied to corporations organized in any state In the Union and In any other nation or Central American revolution. It did not prohibit corporations organized in territories were perfect ladles and would not make any scandal in Indiana, so he moved to table Kschbach's amendment. Hut the house was determined to let no corporation escape and it tables Keegan's motion. Wider came to bat with tho suggestion that Postmaster General Hitchcock or Speaker Cannon might organize an oetupus In tho District of Columbia which would seek to run amuck and devastate Elkhart, Nappanee or Wakarusa. so he put the District of Columbia in the blue book. Uy this tlmo Cravens was beside himself with grief over the cruel and inhuman treatment accorded the bill and he moved it be recommitted to the committee for arnica and witch hazel. Kven this was challenged by Farls, who thought the poor thing was suffetinK and should be stepped on. Hut the house relented and Craven's mo tion to recommit was carried by a vote of 49 to 41. And the house moved on to realms of higher thought and deeper statesmanship by taking up the question of woman's suffrage. Read Hanes' Public Sale ad on page f.

TO LEGALIZE SALE SIX SCHOOL LOTS Oldaker Has Measure Passed Which Affects the Richmond School City.

For the purpose of legalizing the sale of six lots, located on North Twenty-second street, made by the Richmond school city to E. I Commons, about 6even years ago, and to permit such sales both in Richmond and elsewhere in the future, Repre sentative Oldaker of Wayne county recently introduced in the legislature a bill allowing school cities to dispose of ground not needed for school pur poses. The bill has been passed by the house and is now awaiting action by the senate. About thirty years ago when indications were that the city would extend eastward rapidly, six lots on Twenty-second street were bought by the school city in. the belief that a school building would ultimately have to be erected In that vicinity and it was thought best to secure the ground when it was cheap. Later when it developed that no' school building was needed in that community, the ground was sold to Mr. Commons. As there was no law in existence legalizing Btich sales by school cities a question at once arose as to whether the sale and purchase were valid. The first section of the bill introduced by Representative Oldaker, which was prepared by Superintendent T. A. Mott. provides that all grounds not required for school purposes may be sold by the school city at auction to the highest bidder, and the second section legalizes all such sales made In good faith in the past. STOCKHOLDERS OF xMASONIC BUILDING Stockholders of the Masonic building association held their annual meeting on Thursday evening at which a dividend of four per cent was declared on the capital stock of $4o,p00.

Marlatt, John E. Peltz, John H. Nicholson and Ellwood Morris. Other business considered pertained to minor repairs which will be made to the building at Ninth and North A street, including such as painting and the like. The association owns but the one property, the Masonic temple, the first and second floors being utilized for rental and the third and fourth for lodge pur poses. DOCTOR ROLLER IS . VERY BADLY HURT Dr. B. F. Roller, of Seattle, Wash., whose wrestling pleased the fans of this city more than that of any other artist when the game was at its height here about a year ago, was seriously injured after twenty-five minutes of wrestling in the second bout of a match with Jess Westergaard at Omaha, Nebraska, last night. The match was awarded to Westergaard upon Roller's retirement. Roller won the first fall in 26 minutes and 40 seconds. An examination of Roller's injuries by a physician following the match showed the wrestler to be seriously, but not permanently injured. Ladles9 $3.

Sulgrove, has filed report of the sale of the assets of the concern in the circuit court.

The claim of Sulgrove was paid in full and amounted to $250.

RAILWAY COMPANY NOT GIVEN BLAME The Pennsylvania railroad company was absolved from all blame in the death of Charles H. Sterrett on Tuesday by Cornoer R. J. Pierce, who filed his verdict with the county clerk, George Matthews on Friday. The decedent was a brakeman on the Pennsylvania and in the course of his duties was riding on the yard engine. As it was run onto a siding at the American Seeding Machine company's plant, he was standing out too far on the running board of the engine and was knocked off when the engine passed one of the buildings. He sustained multiple injuries from which he died at the hospital within an hour or so after the accident. Coroner Pierce in his verdict says that the man's own neglect was responsible for his death. OLDAKER BILL TO BECOME A STATUTE The bill of Joint Representative Oldaker of East Germantown making it possible for teachers to spend at least five days visiting other schools, attending institutes, or other education al meetings, without losing any salary for the time they are off, will pass the lower house of the legislature, according to predictions of County Su perintendent, C. O. Williams and township trustees who drew up the mea sure. A delegation from the county attended the legislature on Thursday and were informed the bill had found general favor. The reason for the leg islation is that the state board of ac counts ruled a teacher could receive pay under the present statutes only for the time which was actually serv ed. In other words if they had vaca tions it was at their own expense, no matter what the occasion. A ROAD SUPERVISOR Albert Anderson has been appointed road supervisor of Wayne township district No. 6. He succeeds W. T. Mattie who will move from this dis trict. The appointment was made by trustee James H. Howarth.

WM. ROCKEFELLER CRITICALLY ILL

(American Jcws Service) New York, Feb. 17. William Rockefeller, brother of John D. Rockefeller, is under the care of physicians at his home, 6S3 Fifth avenue today. He is suffering from pneumonia. Mystery was thrown about his real condition by the refusal of members of the family either to affirm or deny the report that he is seriously ill. Dr. Henry Moeller, the family physician repeated: "I have been ordered to say nothing. I am very sorry." When asked if he had been attending Mr. Rockefeller all the night, the physician repeated: "1 have been ordered to say nothing." Mr. Rockefeller, who is almost 70 years old, is credited with being the leader of the speculative interests in Standard III. A CHARGE AGAINST II. PARKER CHANGED The affidavit against Harry Parker of Lynn, Ind., charging assault and battery with intent to commit felony on a small Whitewater girl, will be cnanged to a charge of assault and battery. Parker has retained W. A. Bond and will be given a hearing next week, probably pleading guilty to assault and battery and accepting a fine. "I'm afraid," said the critical friend, that you will never bi able to make unythiug out of Miss Screecher'e voice." 'That's all you know about it," retorted the vocal instructor. "Why, I've made over $200 out of it already." Chicago News. "The Liver Pills act So Naturally and EasUy." Such a statement, coming from the cashier of a bank, shows what confidence responsible people have in these pills. Mr. A. L. Wilson after trying them wrote: "I have used Dr. Miles' Nerve and Liver Pills and also your Anti-Pain Pills, on myself, with good results. The Liver Pills act so paturally and bo easily that I scarcely know that I have taken a pill. Frequently being troubled with headache I V take an Anti-Pain Fill and get immediate relief in every case." A. L. Wilson, Sparta, III. Mr. Wilson was for a number cf years cashier of the First National Bank of Sparta. Dr. Miles9 Nerve and Liver Pills are different from others. Many kinds of liver pills are "impossible" after one trial on account of their harshness. Dr, Miles' Nerve and Liver Fills do not act by sheer force but in an easy, natural way, without griping or undue irritation. They are not habit forming. If the first bottle falls to benefit, your druggist will return the price. Ask him. MILES MEDICAL CO., Elkhart, Ind.
