Miller, chief of police of Pes Molncs, that a hill providing a pension scheme for members of police departments In the larger cities of the state would be Intro duced In the st.ite legislature this week. In his letter to Major Richmond Chief Mllh r states that h has been assured that the bill will not be permitted to die h natural death In committee, but will be passed by the senate. The bill referred to by Chief Miller Is similar to the one now pending In the leg islature providing for the pensioning of members of paid fire departments. The bill provides for a pension equal to half pay for all members of the department whet have served twenty years, or who become disabled while on active duty. The fund from which tl is proposed to pay these pensions la to he derived from a levy of mill on municipal property. It had been suggested to make the one bill provide for the pensioning of mem bers of roth the fire and police depart ments, but this was strenuously opposed by the State Firemen's association, so those Interested In the plan to pension members of the police department decided on Introducing a separate bill.

THREE WEEKS OF SESSION LEFT Bill for Wlnale Control of All State nllraea Kxpected to rasa Hunse Within a Few Days. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES. March 2.-l8pedal.)-Wlth only about threo weeks of the session re maining the members are confronted with the fact that few of the larger bills of the general assembly hnve been acted on. The last two weeks only minor matters have been ground through the mill and passed on to Ihe governor. A great many of the morn Important bills have heen passed by the senate and a few hy the house, but they await the end of the session for completion. During the last few days the governor has received bills upon the following subjects: Permitting trial of a convict on a murder charge. Forbidding operation of hucketshops. Chsnge In law as to library taxes. Permitting fathers of soldiers to go to Soldiers' homes. Inrludlng rooming houses In the law as to hotels. Change In law as to automobile numbers. Defining powers of a sheriff and county attorney. Taxing method for support of hospitals. Forbidding the marriage of cousins. Change in law as to guide boards. These headings show that the work being done Is of comparatively little Importance. Unless the house takes action to hasten matters there will be llttlo done, for the senate Is now far ahead of the house. The senate will not need to resort to a sifting committee, but the house will for the first time In many years find It necessary to place arbitrary power In the hands of some persons In order to get the work done. The first step has oeen taken In that direction and the first step has also been taken look ing to an adjournment within ten days. It Is expected that the bill for the placing of the state colleges under one head will pass the house within a few days and be come a law. It will abolish the three large boards now controlling the Institutions and place the control In the rmnda of one board, with a small finance committee. The bill has been favorably recommended to the house after passage In the senate. Working; Politics in Legislature. A great deal of quiet work la being done by the democrats and others In the way of accumulating political capital for the future In connection with the work of legislation. One of the principal efforts being made by the democrats and their friends is to show that the republican man agement of the state has been horribly bad In recent years and that the expense account has been something distressing. It Is now claimed that in the work of handling the state's business there is an expenditure through boards and commis sions of over $500,000 a year, hence there should be abolition of a great many of the commissions and consolidation of others. Yet In the last week the legislature created one more board, that having charge of optometry, and will soon create a new board In charge of colleges. Governor Carroll recommended n public untilltics commission like that in New York slate which cost the first year. J250.000. The at tacks on the Medical board, the Board of Control and various afritc' Institutions have all been largely with a -view to making It appear that the management of tlw state by tho republicans lins' been a failure. A year ago it was announced, and was be lieved by a great many, that the state was then bankrupt and was soon going Into the business of borrowing money on which to do business, hut It turns out that the treasury balances have been well maintained and that there Is 11,600,000 In sight for the appropriations for the next two years. . In the matter of appointments to places of trust it Is claimed by the democrats that the republicans have kept Incompet ent persons In office and that a general cleaning up process Is necessary. The appropriation hill for $100,000 for a new ampltlnater for the state fair has passed the house and Is certain to pass the senate. The bill will give the State Department of Agriculture opportunity to build a new ampltheater, or at least, part of one, and to secure additional land on which to lay out a mile race track. This Is the most Important of many of the smaller appropriation measures and It is demanded almost universally by the farm ing Interests. The fair will ask no other appropriations this season.

NOT ANXIOUS TOR A REAL SCRAP Presidents of All Central American Countries Bat Tiro Agreed to m Conference, and These El peeled to Come la Soon. CITV OF MEXICO, March 21-It is now behoved a certainty that a conference ot the five iresidents of Central American republics will be held shortly. Word has reached here that President Cabrera of Guatemala, Davlla of Honduras and Zelaya of Nicaragua have agreed to the proposed meeting. It Is thought that President Flgueroa of Salvador and the president of Costa Rica will also accept the Invita tion which was sent out by Senor Kche verrla, president of the Central American branch of the bureau cf A met I -an republics, and the gathering will be for the considera tion of ways and means of living up to thu spirit of the Washington peace pact and thus remove all cause for intervention in Central American affairs on the part of either the United States or Mexico. The news of the acceptance of Estrada Cabrera of Guatemala and his enemy, Jose Cantos Zelaya of Nicaragua, comes as an agreeable surprise to the well-wishers of Central America. Cabrera first declared that he would do nothing unless the meet ing was held at Guatemala City, but later revised his declaration by agreeing to be present st a conference on neutral ground. It Is considered likely that a request will be sent to the American State department as soon as Salvador and Costa Rica are heard from, asking that the conference be permitted to meet on board one of the cruisers of the Pacific squadron. The harbor at Amapala will probably be se lected as the meeting place. This new turn In Central American affairs Is looked upon by those well Informed as the most Important that has happened in recent years and Is believed to have been forced by the firmness of the State depart ment at Washington.

The great strike of the employes of the Postofflce depart ment, which has practically Isolated Paris and part of France from communi cation with the outside world for the last week, collapsed today. The strike com mittee decided to call off the employes and made the first move to effect a bct tleinent, virtually suing for peace. Tho government met the committee half way. This afternoon representatives of the linemen colled on M. Barthou. minister of public works, for the purpose of pro testing against the charges that they had cut the wires, but during the ccurso of the Interview they communicated to the minister the terms on which the al lied associations, collectively, would re sume work.
