(From -a Staff Correspondent.) -,
DEB MOINES, March 22. (Special.) The
bouse showed a spirit of Impatience today
aad Insisted on the senate's doing more
work. The house resolved not to psss any
more senate bills until the senate pays
more attention to bouse bills. Protest wss
made tbat a bill had been sent over to the
senate severs,! weeks ago, having passed
the house, but the senate had paid .no at
tention to the house message, but bad
passed Its own bill and messaged It over to
the house, Kendall suggested that under
the circumstances It would be well for the
house to Ignore the senate message In all
cases and not to' give heed to what the sen
ate Is doing until It has passed some of
the house bills.- The- sentiment was openly
applauded In the htfuee and Stratton said it
met with his approval. Later a motion was
carried ordering the withdrawal from the
senate of a message announcing the pas
sage of a concurrent resolution relative to
adjournment April S. 'When this reached
the senate the latter body Immediately
granted the request, so there Is now before
the legislature nothing ,ln regard lo final
adjournment. The house Is much farther
ahead with Its work than the senate and
there Is quite a feeling In the house that
the business of the session Is being- need
lessly delayed In the other body.
Invite Board of Coatrol.
The bouse psss'ed a concurrent resolution
inviting the Board of Control members to
appear before a Joint session pf the two

relative to the various state institutions

sossed.
Mr. Haeselqulst Introduced the represent
ative district bill, which haa been changed

before would allow two representatives In

sired. Oalet Day la- Itnate.
l
The senate had barely a quorum at the
outset, but finally-did some business. The
bill to .provide for building Iowa monu
ments at Vicksburg park was made a spe
cial order for next Tuesday afternoon at

mittee of the house will cut short the hear
ings on tha railway aasessment bill and
report, it back next Tuesday with some
recommendation. The ground bas all been
gone ever before and the members are
eomewhat familiar with It. There Is no
desire to have the hearings In committee
long continued, as It Is expected there will
be considerable of a debate in the house
on tbe subject. .

Daaaatfe Baits Follow a Fire.
As the result of the Tremont house fire
In Marshalltown a few weeks ago two suits
for damages have been commenced In court
against persons who are part owners in
the property. Mabel Myers, an employe of
the hotel,' waa compelled to jump from a
third story window to. the ground and she
sustained Injuries to bervback, spine and
body which will remain with her through
life. . She askk for $5,000 dsmagea. Birdie
Hart, another of the- employes, asks ths
same sum because she wss compelled to
Jump from a third-story window to the
ground and broke a leg In ao doing. Ths
bsels of tbe claim for liability Is that the
owners of the hotel had refused to comply
with the ordinances of the city In the pat
ter of suitable fire escapee.
Coal la Calckasev Coaaty.
t There Is great excitement in Chickasaw
county, near the town of Republic, over a
discovery of coal. It is claimed that - a
vein of good coal haa been found at a-depth
oi 170 feet aad the vsta Is front five to
ssvea feet thick. - This la In a part of the
tale where ao coal mines have ever been
operated and it was not known any coal
existed there. The farmers are refusing
to. pell tbelr lead at any price in that part
of the state. It Is near the town of Fred-

No Praactalso Eloetloa.
The district court tedsy decided that the
question of franchise election la regard
te a proposed taterurbaa railway haa aot
i
been put In proper shape for a vote of the
people and the action of the mayor in call
ing a special election waa therefore Il
legal. There haa been a controversy for
some time over this franchise mstter, and
the election was set for two different dates,
but now the court declares tbat It must all
be done overagaln. The franchise Is op
posed by the owners of tbe present city

Sentenced for Twenty-Five Yeara.
' Albert Smith, who shot and killed Bruce
Martin In a saloon row In February, was
todsy sentenced to twenty-five years in the
penitentiary for his crime. The evidence
showed that It was an unprovoked murder
and that while there had been a quarrel
lasting some time Martin had started to go
away, when Smith attacked and killed him.
The Miners Convention.
At noon today, when the Joint scale com
mittee adjourned to i p. m. Monday, It was
no nearer settlement of tbe shot firing
question and the uniform day wage scale
than two weeks ago. The Indications are
that the committee will be obliged to meet
every day next week. Although maqy
points of minor Importance have been
agreed upon by both parties the main ques
tions are still unsettled. Ths first real
broaching of the shot firing question in
committee wss when the operators proposed
that certificates be Issued by the stste mine
Inspectors to competent shot flrers, and that
the salaries of such men be paid by the
miners; also that tbe majority of miners
should have tbe say, as to whether or not
regular shot flrers 'shsll be employed In
thoir mine. This resolution Is opposed by
the miners' committee of the joint commit
tee on scale. They say they want the shot
flrina rule to apply to all mines where coal
is blasted from, the solid, and the company
shall employ the shot flrers, not the miners.
They also Insist that the question of
whether one or two shots shsll be fired per
day must rrst with the miners and not the
operators. The operators sav they ought-to
have tbe deciding power, for In many cases
they might want more. coal dug than could
be brought rut after only pne shot per day.
They say the miners would get more money
each day for their work If they mined more
coal, as would be the case if two shots at
noon and night were set off, and that If they
are able to load more coal each day at the
regular 85, 90 cents or $1 scale, they ought
to be willing to pay the cost of the extra
help such as the shot flrers would be. Also
that the miners would be benefited further
In that they would avoid the, dangers at
tending such firing, which feature of the
work was. emphasized by the Lost Creek dis
aster. LOVING CUP FOR JUDGE THAYER

element, comprising a majority of the dele
gales from districts 7 and 9, Is known to
favor referring final decision to a commit-'
tee composed of President Mitchell and
District Presidents Nlcholls. Fahy and
Duffy. This proposition is opposed by what
are known' here as radicals, who represent
principally, district No. 1, comprising the
Wyoming and' Lackawanna regions, and a
few of the delegates from the two lower dis
tricts. Thesp delegates Insist on the adoption of
a resolution allowing tbe operators until
April 1 In which to grant the concessions
demanded In tbe wage scale, and. If this
time limit la fixed, they say they have no
objection to placing tbe matter In the
banSs of the committee named.
President Mitchell wss m conference with
President Fahy of district uptll after
midnight, but the subject under discussion
la not known.
The convention was called to order
shortly after o'clock this morning and
consideration qf the scale was resumed.
Difference of opinion on matters per-
tsinlng to tbe wage scale prevented a final
adjustment today In Districts Nos. 1, 7 and
of the mine workers. After being In
session for three hqurs the convention ad
journed to meeb Monday, and many of tbe
delegates assert that a conclusion will noU
be reached that day. President Mitchell
announced that the scale committee's report
had been adopted but declined to state the
nature of matters now under discussion.
It Is understood that h committee was ap
pointed to draft resolutions covering the
scale committee's report. These resolu
tions, It Is said, will be presented Monday.

Conference of Paper Makers and Civic
Federation Accomplishes Tem
perary Resalts.
"
NEW TORK, March 22. Representatives
of manufacturers of newspaper and of labor
unions Interested In the paper trade had a
conference today. It was called ty Secre
tary Epsley of the National Clvio Federa
tion to avert, it possible, a threatened
strike of the men employed in the paper
mills. The. men had said tliey would go
put In the near future unless the different
companies made 'certain concessions in
their fa vol.
Up to six months ago tbe men worked
twelve hours .a day and six days a week.
Thla did not suit the employers and It was
decided that as a schedule of eight hours
a day would be put In force, with seven
days' work instead of six. .The labor unions
would not Indorse this schedule, as It is one
of their rules that no work be done Sun
days. The employers wished to keep to
the new rule on account of the necessity
of using the pulp before It became dry.
Oscar B.-Straus presided and 'the follow
ing representatives were present: Fred E.
Parks of the International Paper company.
President Garrett Scbenck, and Vice Presi
dent William B. Dillon of the Great North
ern Paper company, David Coles of the Par
sons Paper company; G. C. Sherman of the
Haggert Paper company, National Presi
dent C. W. Moulton of the Paper Machine
Tenders' ' association, President George
Mackay of the Limited Brotherhood of Pa
per Makers of America, General Organiser
H. Robinson of the American Federations
Labor, Henry White of (he United Garment
Worxers, and Mr. Easley.
It was decided that the men will continue
to work as per the schedule in force until
tbe next meeting, which will take place
during the first week in May, when it Is
expected the matter will be finally decided
and a uniform schedule put in force.

Is expected to result from the combination

not appreciated, glass men say.

at Ills Residence'.
NEW TORK. March 22. Concerning tha
servJce of a subpoena on J. Plerpont Mor- v
gan In the suit of Peter Power against the
Northern Paclflo Railroad Company, Fran
cis Lynde Stetson, counsel for Mr. Morgan,
today made the following statement:
"In several of tbe newspapers of this
morning have appeared items suggesting
that the counsel representing Mr. Peter
Power In his suit against the Northern Pa
cific Railway company had found or antici
pated some difficulty In securing tbe at
tendance as -a witness of either Mr. J. P.
Morgan or some member of his firm.
"Any such suggestion, whether or not
so Intended, le defiance ot the facts and
without any Justification whatever. Mr., t
Perkins of tbe firm has already appeared
and been examined. Mr.. 'Steele ot the firm
was ready to appear yesterday at the time'
appointed, but his examination was post
poned, not at his request, but at the re
quest ot Judge Lancaster for tbe plaintiff.
"Yesterday afternoon Mr. Morgan re
turned to the city, from which h had been
absent during the pendency of these pro
ceedings of which he knew nothing until
on Thursday In Washington. Immediately
oh learning ot the desire for his examina
tion he instructed me to advise Mr. Powers'
counsel that he would attend at any time
without aubpoena. At once I so advised
the counsel, who answered that this would
be entirely satisfactory, and accordingly we '
arranged for Mr. Morgan's voluntary ap
pearance next week.-
Canah la His Hoase.
"Apparently because of the inability ot
the counsel .to reach his process servers,
fotvwhlch miscarriage he has-written to me
expressing regret. Mr. Morgan was served
last evening with a subpoena by a mes
senger, who obtained admission to. his house
upon the understanding ot Mr. Morgan that
tbe messenger had come from my offlce
a statement for which Mf. Powers' counsel
disclaims any responsibility and expresses
regret If any such statement was made.
"It 'may be a matter of news, but ltx
hardly can be a matter of. general aa tie
faction, that admission to the private house
of any gentleman should be obtained as
stated In this morning's papers, by ruse,
which of course means by deception. In
soy case such a proceeding would be one
tor which reputable counsel naturally would
desire to, disclaim responsibility. In this
case any such proceeding wss unnecessary."
Gnorge Alfred Lamb, of counsel for Peter
Power, made the following statement to
night: -
I accept full responsibility for the, service
made upon Mr. Morgan and the manner In
which it waa made. I had full reason to
believe that Mr. Morgan would not wil
lingly accept service, and tn making service
in the manner in which he did the process
server employed by me merely fulfilled his
duty as a process server. .
Tried to Arransje with KelloaK.
I had previously endeavored to arrange '
with Mr. Francis H. Kellogg, general courv
sel for the Northern Pacific Railroad com
pany, that witnesses Irt the case of Power
against the Northern Pscltlc' Railroad com
pany should be produced without service of
subpoena and at times that might be mu
tually agreed upon. Although Mr. KellnxK
In the first Instance agreed with Jii1ge
Lancaster and myself at Minneapolln tluit
he would endeavor to arrange this, he ub-
sequently announced his failure to do so
and notified me that I must obtain the tes-'
tlmony of witnesses as best 1 could.
It therefore became my duty to my client
to use every method of vigilance to obtuin
service on witnesses whose testimony I ,
desired. Until 4:30 yesterdayil had received
no notification that Mr. Morgan would vol
untarily testify, but I had been led to be
lieve that he would not testify unless he
was duly subpoenaed. It Is regrettable that '
Biion receipt of this notification I was un
able to recall all my subpoena servers, but
I do not agree with the conclusions reached
by Mr. Btetrfon. There are no ethics about
the set-vice of a process. When a Iswyer
gives a process server a paper to serve-it
becomes the duty of the process server to'
serve the paper with the lenist delay and
In any manner tha presents Itself. It la
Justifiable for a process server to- make
service In any manner and by any means,
and I certainly will not repudiate the act
of a man who waa employed by me who
sought to serve me zealously.
