"An excited crowd of West Side cltl
'zona took forcible possession of the
council chamber In tho city hall to
day and virtually compelled tho mom
hers of a council committee to floe
from tho placo. Tho membors of tho
crowd wore protostants against a pro
ject for wldonlng of Ualstead street.
Tho committee having tho matter un
der consideration mot today in tho
council chambor and finally voted to
postpone action until June. This was
highly unsatisfactory to many of the
cltlzcnis present who wished tho mat
ter settled at once. Crlos of 'Coward!
'Thief!' and 'Robber!' wore hurled at
tho members of the committee as they
hastily lort tho apartment. Tho citi
zens came rushing down from the
galleries and poured in from tho halls,
taking complete possession of tho
chambor. They then organized a
mooting of their own and formally
protosted against further delay in set
tling tho question."

In a message to tho legislature Gov
ernor Deneon or Illinois asked for an
appropriation of $50,000 for tho pur
pose of prosecuting the Illinois Cen
tral Railroad company for taxes and
other claims due the state. The gov
ernor says the railroad misrepresents
its earnings.
Governor Davidson of Wisconsin
lecommended to the legislature a con
stitutional amendment providing for
an Income tax.
Tho Wall Street Journal says. "It
Is gonorally believed in well informed
quarters that one of the results of the
investigation of tho Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific by the interstate
commerce commission and their at
torneys will be an order from the com
mission to command the Union Pacific
to sell its Southern Pacific stock. In
fact, as a result it is possible that
tho Union Pacific will bo ordered by
tho commission to sell its Atchison,
St. Paul, Chicago & Northwestern and
perhaps oven Chicago & Alton stocks
in addition to its Southern Pacific
stock. This would have no material
effect upon tho Union Pacific policy.
Tho Union Pacific ownership of these
stocks is chleily of an investment na
ture and will bo a small matter, as it
could invest in other securities pay
ing an equally good return. Aside
from these two issues, the chances
are that tho interstato commerce com
mission will recommend further legis
lation governing railroad corporations,
attempting probably to define the
scope of their financial operations and
tho power which may be vested in any
ono official. If the commission orders
tho Union Pacific to sell its Southern
Pacific stock there is little doubt that
the order will bo contested to the last
ditch by Harriman people, just as the
Northern Securities case was contest
ed in tho courts for several years.
An eminent railroad lawyer says: "If
tho Union Pacific is ordered' to sell
its Southern Pacific stock there is no
reason in the world why most of the
big railroads in the land should not
bo compelled to take similar steps in
connection with stocks in subsidiary
lines. Tho sale of this stock would,
of course, in many cases dissolve tho
entire system. It appears to bo a
question of only making the investiga
tion and then applying the principle
which the supremo court may lav
down." J
Congressman Charles Curtis was
nominated by the republican caucus to
succeed Senator Benson as United
States senator from Kansas. Benson
was appointed to fill the unexpired
term of Senator Burton.
An Associated Press dispatch under
date of Great Falls, Montana, Januar?
11. follows: "The Montana Central
Mrs wnSd tr?! Vn wWoh Ir
Mis. William J. Bryan were passen
gers, collided with a switch Engine
and stone cars in the Great Falls
yards today. The engine of the pas-
sengor train was damaged, the bag
gage car was wrecked and several
persons were shaken up badly. Mike
Connolley of Glasgow was Injured se
verely about tho head and shoulders,
but not fatally, while, soveral others
were bruised considerably. The pas
senger train was moving at only
about ten miles an hour in a blinding
blizzard and the engineer could see
only a few feet ahead. Mr. and Mrs.
Bryan were both thrown from their
seats, but received no injuries other
than the shaking up."
After the Banquet
"Whew!" exclaimed Rounder, as he
came down to breakfast blowing the
tips of his fingers. "I tell you it is
an outrage the way they are running
cold cars in Chicago. Why, I had to
stand outsido on ono last night and
I almost froze to death getting home
from the club."
"I don't doubt it," snapped Mrs.
Rounder. "I stood at the window and
saw you stopping off a snowplow."
Without another word Rounder grab
bod his hat and started for the office.

"I suppose now," said Miss Augular,
