RAILROAD BUS HELD UP IN SENATE Some Have Been la the Hnnd ot the Committee for Forty Days Without a Report and Ilonse Members Are Incensed. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DE8 MOINES. Ia., March 26. (Special Telegram ) In the house this afternoon the bill endorsed by the League of Iowa municipalities, making Important changes In the present form of city government, was passed. The bill has already passed the senate. The bill to purchase additional land for the Inebriate asylum at Knoxvllle and the bill providing for a tax commission, were passed. The bill enlarging the powers of the superior court of Cedar Rapids was killed. The house Judiciary committee has acted favorably on both the senate and house bills for a uniform system of county ac counts, the agricultural committee voted for passage the bill to manufacture binder twine at the Anamosa penitentiary, and the pure stock food bill. The soldiers' roster bill was passed by the house. Moore of Linn has introduced a Mil providing that the governor shall within ten days after the election In November, 190S, appoint a committee of two from the senate and three from the house of the holdover members and members-elect to visit the three educational Institutions, re maining at least six days at each and to report to the legislature the needs of such Institutions. - Meredith Introduced a bill providing for a board of examiners and to license osteo paths. tat Wants to Trade Realty. The governor sent to the senate a special message asking for authority to make a trade of the camp ground of the Iowa Na tional Guard, which Is near Fort Des Moines, for other property which will be near the new state rifle range. The senate made an effort to reconsider the vote by which the bill to Increase the pay of the adjutant general and National Guard's men passed, but this waa defeated. Senators claimed they did not know what was In the bill when It was passed. 1 The senate passed the bill to limit the hours of labor of men working on trains, also the bill requiring track scales at Junction points. ' The senate committee on pardons acted favorably on applications for the pardon of George Weems, Betsy Smith and Jasper Mason. All other applications were re jected except two, which are yet to be acted on. Incensed at Senate Committee. Incensed by the delay of the senate com mute on railroads on Important railroad bills, resolutions i have been drawn up by house members protesting against the sen ate's delay In urging action. For some few days It has been known that J. C. Davis, chief counsel for the Northwestern, has been claiming that th railroads had succeeded In getting the senate committee on railroads In shape to kill the antl-pnm bill, the reciprocal demurrege bill and the Doran speed limit bill. This claim of Davis has set the members of ths house wild, for the three bills are among the most Important railroad measures offered this session. As a result there has been a con ference pf Mnw members, snd resolutions were drafted. These resolutions relate espe cially to the Doran speed limit bill and state that as the bill means from K to l?O0 on every car of live stock shipped by Iowa cattlemen and that as the senate railroads committee hss had the bill for more than forty days without action, the attention of the senate la called to this bill snd action urged. It Is understood to be the intention of following this resolution with others re specting the other bills, If that on the speed limit bill Is successful. Only two weeks remain of the session and the members of the house are desperate. There has been a demand for a speed limit bill and a reciprocal demurrage bill every session for many years. These bills paVsed the house with big mnjorltles and there Is considerable fear that they are to meet defeat In the senate. It Is understood that Allen of Pocahontas proposes to bring the reciprocal demurrage bill to a right on the floor of the senate and Turner of Adams Is proposing to do the same with the stock train minimum speed limit bill, but the railroads have succeeded in delaying mat ters now to such an extent that the bills are really In great danger of being killed off. Iowa has an anti-pass law that was enacted last year applying to publlo officials, delegates to political conventions and mem bers of political committees, but It was proposed to pass another modeled after the national law. Primary to Conference. At the forenoon session of the senate steps were taken to secure a conference on the primary election bill, as between the two houses on small matters of difference. and It is expected that in this conference all the details will be perfected. This conference was made necessary because of some apparent conflicts of dates in the bill as It has Anally passed the house. Senate Business The senate passed a bill making an In crease In the appropriation for the Na tional guard as recommended by the ad jutant general, , and Increase in the pay of the adjutant general; also some changes In regard to the manner of payment to the men.' The following are other bills passed by the senate today: Whltlng'e bill placing the burden of proof on the railroad company In mutter of non furnlshlng of freight cars. De Wolf's bill to give the railroad com mission authority to regulate the stringing of wires over railroads. Mercer's bill exempting real estate' ac quired by educational Institutions as a part of an endowment fund from taxation. Flugum's bill requiring railroad com panies to kill noxious weeds along the right-of-way. Hume's bill requiring railroads to report serious accidents causing personal Injury or loss of life. Turner's bill to forbid any saloon or drug store selling whisky within one mile of Fort Des Moines. Newberry's bill amending the law as to labels on foodstuffs and fixing a standard for flavoring extracts. Turner's Joint resolution to purchasa chairs and navels for ths president of the .senate and speaker of the house. Saunders bill to extend to tnterurbans and public service corporations the rights enjoyed by the railroads in the matter of contracts for equipment, etc. Mattes' bill to place express companies un der control and regulation of the railroad commissioners.
