From a staff correspondent. 1E8 MOINES, Feb. 12. tSpeclal The atate senate will tomorrow take up the bill to authorise the state board of agri culture to fix a salary for the secretary In accordance with tl.e needs of the board. At present the board la so restricted that It .cannot eecur a secretary at all. Sec retary John C. Simpson, who haa Just (one to Minnesota on a salary of Si.OJO and house rent free, had been kept here sev eral years only by a straining of th law so aa to give him more than the limit fixed by the legislature. Now the atat board demanda some leeway In securing a secretary and paying him enough ao that be will remain. The bill waa discussed Sat urday briefly and the fact disclosed that theie Is some political opposition to the state board of agriculture and a desire to drag It Into politics. The bill waa amended so that the limit which can be paid la tv.000 and It may pasa In that form. Th plana 61 the state board are to hold the matter of selection of a secretary in abey ance until this can be settled. . Will Give Farsa to State. The slate college at A me haa been of fered a fine farm located In Marshall county by Its owner. E. B. Howard, for the purpose of establishing a model farm and school thereon. The matter haa been referred by the state board of education to the finance committee to see what money can be obtained to build auch buildings as suggested by Mr. and Mrs. Howard. Th need for such an institution is apparent. There Is no middle school In the state for taking boya and girls from the grades and giving them the Industrial education they desire. Shops, mining, forestry, stone cut ting are all a possibility on thla farm. It has running water which can bo util ised. The board of education looks favor ably on the propoaltlon. This farm repre sents the earnings of a lifetime by Mr. and Mrs. 'Howard. Tabor Mag Get Normal School. The proposal embodied In.,., bill Intro duced laat week.

Farmers living along th lln of th old Newton Northwestern railroad, espe cially those living In this county aome thirty mllea from Dea Moines, ar aeriously considering a plan for the formation of a company to take over the old road and to hav It operated for their convenience. The two towns on the line, Farrar and Lorlng, w.lll be left entirely without ' railroad facilities and the business houses will be moved away If the line la cloaed out.

RICH WOMEN IN MOVEMENT Society I. labia of Net York Oat la a fw Light Many to Join In the Vork. NEW YORK. Feb. ll.-ltfpecieJ Tele gram.) Wealthy society women of New York who have placed themselves at the head of the movement to form a "nig' sisters Protective society for poor girls ar much In earnest over the work and are fast perfecting plans for the organlxa tion. The Idea waa evolved by Miss Dorothy Whitney and Mrs. William K. Vanderbllt. and seems to hav grown out of the "Big Brothers"" club, which grew out of the Episcopal Brotherhood of St. Andrews. Mrs. Vanderbllt's Interest grew out of her Investigations Into the children court, where she observed that many erring girls were dally brought before th bar. Mrs. Vanderbllt discussed the matter with Mine Whitney, daughter of the late W. C. Whitney, one of New York's wealthy young society women. Both looked with great concern on the fact that these girls were being tried a criminals and turned out with a blotch on their lives that they could net recover from. 8o they decided to place themselves at the head of a move ment and become "big sisters" to look after the girls. When the announcement was made, othera cam to their assistance. Such wealthy women aa Miss Helen Gould and Miss Anna Morgan, It is said, have lent their aid and sanction., and Mra. Oliver H. P. Belmont, who through her equal suffrage league and personal efforts, haa done ao much to better the condition of the working girls in New York, has been called Into consultation. They plan to give special attention to the elevation and strengthening of the home tie. If a mem ber takea charge of, a girl and flnda that her home Is not what It ought to be, the member will, In addition to caring for the girl, try to better conditions in the home. They will work with the mothers and fathers as well aa with th daughters. The "big sisters" will also, find homes for girls who are orphaned, and this de partment of the movement is designated to stop aa far as possible the custom of sending girls to public institutions. Mrs. Evans, who baa jvad a wide rang of e-fperlenee for aeveral yeara aa parole officer In the children,' court, will do rooet of -the investigating. She will make dally reports to the committee of the con ditions as she finds them. The committee members will then decider at dally meet ings which of them will act aa "big sister" to the girls whose names are given them.

Tracked First to Re Decided Kew Health Resort oa Lake. tH5DKN. Feb.. 12. - (Special.) Lovett. Kruttschnltt and other hiRh officials of th Hsrrtinan lines are expected In Ogden the coming week to decide on th Improvements most urgently demanded by th Cnlon Pa cific and Southern Pacific In and around Ogden. and, it Is confidently asserted, that, as a result of th visit, the first of the double trackage of th Union Pacific will be from Ogden east through Weber Can yon. The Bee. In Its special correspondence from Ogden. forecast these big improve ments two weeks prior to the official an nouncement by the executive committee In New York, and at the time predicted that a campaign of such magnitude would be a material factor In restoring confidence In business and financial circle throughout the country. This prediction la being veri fied In the comments of the press and the expressions of prominent men of affairs. No section of the country haa more cause to rejoice over the evidence of a restoration of confidence than thla part of Vtah, aa Ogden and tributary country ar ripe for an advancement unequalled in the Inter mountaln region. Oaden Moves Forward. Ogden has been making remarkable prog ress, while some cities In the west hav been halted or have suffered retrogression. and now If thla Cltv'a forward movement Is to be accelerated by railroad construction in every direction from this railroad Junc tion the growth will approximate a boom. There haa been some pessimistic comment to the effect that the Hard man people are Simply anticipating fmnrovemnnt m-nrlr tn be performed at a far distant time and nave made their announcement for the sole purpose of warning off those who might contemplate an Invasion of Harrl man territory along th great central high way, but those well posted in railroad af fairs point out that If th Harriman roads are to be fully prepared for the world fair traffic to San Francisco nt fr,- th. return of unalloyed prosperity, which is In- eviiaDie, jn the course of say one, two or three years, those roads must h rt,i,,hi. tracked from Omaha to Ogden and from Ogden to San Francieco, along the greatest transcontinental highway In the United States. Jamea J. Hill, at the time of the freight congestion In 190-7. confessed that the rail roads of the United Statea were years be hind the traffic requirements. If that were true then, ,what will be the degree of In efficiency of the railroads when. In the natural course of events, the country, re gaining Its eoulllbrlum, begins to tax mine and factory and farm to capacity to meet the wants of a naOon of over IK,0O0,0n peo ple? The Harriman executive committee ia acting wisely In beginning thi early, yet opportunely, to escape the culpability that must attach to other railroad managers when through failure to Improve their lines in a period of comparative Inactivity they shall find with a return of prosperity their transportation facilities to be wholly In adequate? That reaoning haa led local railroad men to affirm that not only will the Union Paciric and South Pacific be double-tracked before th opening of th world a fair, but the work of Improving will begin Immediately and be rushed to com pletion aa soon a possible. New Health Reeort. Men of money are considering the prac ticability of obtaining a long time leas of railroad landa on Promontory Point, the neck of land which divides th watera of Great Salt lake, and of building thereon a pleasure and health reaort. The resort would be twenty miles west of Ogden, on the Ogden-Lucin cut-off, across which eight overland train pass dally. There la a beautiful aandy beach at Promontory Point, which would make an Ideal spot for aummer bathing. The waters of the "inland ea," saturated with aalt and other substances, possess curative propertlea that would give to the bathing an added attraction for those afflicted with disease. There la no bathing quite so pleasing aa that to bo had In the Great Salt lake. One cannot alnk. The buoyancy of the water allows of all the comforta of a couch at home. The bather, with a head rest, can float unconcernedly as he reada a paper or amokes a cigar.

One man, who Is believed to be a man discharged from the county Jail Friday morning, committed four burglaries after midnight Saturday morning, and left a trail behind liitn broad i tumult to be fol lowed by an amateur Ha, kahaw. All of the burglaries were committed on West Broadway. He benan at Albert Ulch lo's place, between Seventh and Klghth streets, where he broke In and searched the place without finding anything of much value. He next appeared at Martin's gro cery and meat market at Twentieth street, the scene of several exciting Incidents, In cluding the killing of John Webster while resisting arrest after being caught In the act of robbing the place. Here the lone burglar kicked In a side door and devoted hla time to the cash register. It was locked and he amashed it Into bits, strewing the parts and the cash numbers all over the place. While he was at work Conductor Parnialey passed the store on bis way to the car barns at Twent.v-:glith street and saw him smashing the register. It was then 4 : 27 o'clock, and Parmaley had to go to the car barns before he could tele phone the police. By the time the officers walked down there the thief was gone. The cash register waa empty, and nothing but a few cigars and some plug tobacco was taken. Continuing hla Journey westward, the hardworking burglar stopped at the drug store of George Clark at Thirty-second street and kicked In the side door In pre cisely the same manner. He found nothing that suited his taste but half a gallon of alcohol In a gallon Jug. which he took away with hlro. The next stop was at the general store of A. L. Howard A Co.. at Thirty-fourth and Broadway. The side door yielded to the same treatment and colncldently there was a cash register In plain view, but It was unlocked and the burglar was saved the labor of breaking It to pieces. All the money It contained waa forty pennies, and these were appropriated. At all of the places the burglar wantonly destroyed property. ' Shortly before daylight the man appeared at the waterworks pumping station carry ing the Jug of alcohol and asRed permis sion to thin tR contents slightly with water. He took a drink and left the Jug, promising to call for It. At o'clock he stopped at th Thlrty eeventh street aaloon and bought a drink of whisk), paying ' for It In pennies. Half an hour later he appeared at the bridge toll house and offered four pennies for his passage, .declaring that he was that near broke. He waa pasxed on and disappeared In Omaha. Detective Cal laghan was put on his trail, but late yes terday afternoon had not landed him. WORRY OYER EXTRA SESSION (Continued from First Page.) Intended to be regarded as other than speculative, seem to Justify the statement that the sentiment as to these members may be described as follows: Popular election of senators probably will be defeated by reason of the Injection of the race question Into the discussion of the resolution: Eve-n without the speech "by Snator Roof on Friday, whTctt Incited the indignation of Senator Bacon and others from southern states, this Issue could not have been avoided. An Amendment to the resolution had al ready been offered by Senator Sutherland, which aouthern membera ay Is as ob noxious to them as waa the "force" bill. It seems practically certain this amend ment will be adopted, and its effect cer tainly, would be to alienate southern sup port, thus making Impossible the necessary two-thirds vote of the senate for tha main resolution. The fate of Senator Ixirimer la more doubtful. All of the polls that hav been made have been based upon the Beverldge resolution, which declares the election of Senator Ixirlmer to hav been accomplished by corruption of the Illinois legislature. It the case should come before the senate In that form the Indications, baaed upon a poll of the senate by membera friendly to the exoneration of Mr. Lorlmer are, that the electli n would be declared invalid and hla seat vacant. It ia possible that friends of Senator Lorlmer will succeed In substituting a reso lution declaring merely that the charges of corruption against him have not been proved. There . ar aeveral senators who feel they cannot refuse to vote ' for th Beverldge resolution end yet they are not convinced that Mr. Lorlmer was cognisant of any bribery. These aenators, it i eald, would vote for a resolution that the evidence did not prove Mr. Ixrlmer guilty of corruption. If Mr. Lorlmer' Menda prove the mora adept in parliamentary tactic they may win In the struggle on the floor of the senate. Chance on Tariff Hoard. A week ago the bill to provide for a permanent tariff board seemed to be In danger of defeat because of almost solid democratic opposition. There has beelt a change of sentiment In the senate minority. Led by Senator Money a number of those who believed the passage of the bill would fclrengtheu President Taft politically have arrived at the conclusion that democratic opposition would simply convince the coun try that to democrats of the senate and house were not pulling together. The house democrats voted for the bill almost to a man and It was their position that made Its pacsage certain. Administration leaders will tell President Taft tomorrow that the bill will go through. A iikwI Interesting situation exists In re spect to the service pension bill.
