Three weeks more is the longest which the session can run under the law requiring the .governor to have ten days in which to sign or veto bills, all of which automatically become effective July 1. i ' The talk now is that all the work will Ibe crowded into the next two, weeks and that the final exodus will come June 11 or 12. A perfunctory session will be held ten days later, by which time the governor will have acted on j all bills on which he cares to act. The record on wet and dry issues has been written and the struggle be­ tween labor and employers ended. The majority has been with the wets and with the employers. Organized labor won for the, time being, when the bills giving workers 24 hours' rest every week and the Ryan bill to check in­ junctions were advanced to third read­ ing in the house'. The woman's nine- hour bill was beaten, however, when it came up for passage and the other two have yet to reach this barrier. The 50 car freight train bill is due to be called up for advancement soon and will afford the next fight and if *lt survives will be on third reading in the house. On all of these the lines have been closely drawn. The rail­ road men claim to be confident that the bill will eventually be defeated and have refused to consider a pro­ posed compromise that this train length be made 75 cars. The anti-injunction bill was ad­ vanced, despite determined efforts to postpone action. Various amend­ ments, however, were made to it, chiefly that it may conform with the federal statute.

Glennan, act-, ing r surgeon general of the United States public health service, relative to the report made by Dr. S. B. Grubbs, assistant surgeon general, oar the health conditions in Illinois. Criticism was made by Doctor Grubbs that too much attention is given to matters of medical registra­ tion by the state board of health and not sufficient attention to public health work. .. ... . The telegram follows: *.. "I understand that Doctor Grubbs' report is construed by some papers, to be condemnation of the state board, bf health. On the contrary, this re­ port. fg constructive in character *nd states that the present executive has been in office1 only since May, 1914. "I am informed by Doctor Grubbs that his recommendation^, except in minor particulars, are substantially those of the efficiency and economy commission, and of the state board of health.

An almost complete coincidence of findings and conclusions as between the Illinois state board of health inves­ tigations and those of the federal health service as published in Wash­ ington, D. C., was discovered by Secre­ tary C. St. Clair Drake of the state board of health in Springfield. The federal report, which condemns many of the present systems as ineffi­ cient, was prepared after three months' investigation In Illinois. "The report supports and corrobor­ ates the statement made by the pres­ ent state board of health in its an­ nual report to the governor and its recommendation to the state efficiency and economy commission last Sep­ tember," Doctor Drake said. "The facts set forth in this federal report and the need of radical changes in the public health administration of the etate were laid before the Illinois State Medical society at its meeting in an address on 'Pressing Health Needs In Illinois,' delivered by me. In that address I repeated the urgent recommendations made to the gov ernor anc economy and efficiency com­ mission that the medical registration function be divorced from the purely public health work; that all state agencies having to do with public health be brought together In one de­ partment, and that the influence of the board be extended to every community through a reorganization of the de­ partment and the appointment of a staff of district health officers." 8tate University to Get $5,000,000. The house appropriations commit­ tee reported out favorably an "agreed" bill appropriating $5,000,000 for a two= year period for the University of Illi­ nois. According to Chairman Smejkal of the appropriations committee and Chairman Homer J. Tice of the sub­ committee that looked into university needs, this is entirely satisfactory to President James and Trustee William L. Abbot, who appeared for the uni­ versity. This amount is about $150,- 000 less than a full one-mill tax. Presi­ dent James himself struck out odd thousands from the original bill and made it a flat $5,000,000. State to Buy Historic Bell. Plans have practically been complet­ ed for the purchase by the Illinois State Historical society of the historic bell of Old Kaskaskia, which now be­ longs to the Catholic church in which the bell first hung. Father Grootens of Kaskaskia has been in negotiation with Senator Kent Keller of Ava, who has taken a large interest in the purchase, and will present the relic to the society in the near future with suitable ceremonies. The price has not been made known. The :bell was a present to the parish at Kaskaskia from the king of France in the eight­ eenth century. It weighs 750 pounds. ? K D«m«ilfW Cattle Checks. Governor Dunne attached his signa­ ture to the vouchers totaling nearly $1,000,000 for the payment of the claims for losses of stockmen in the foot-an<f-mouth disease campaign.

The name and nationality of the Nebraskan was painted in large let­ ters on her Bitfcs, says a message from Liverpool. From earlier dispatches, it appears that for a time after-she was torpe­ doed the, Nebraskan was uncontroll- ble, and her crew is said to have abandoned her, but finding 3he did not sink and seeing no trace of the subma­ rine, returned to the vessel and turned her head toward por$. The Nebraskan steamed from Liv- perpool May 24 for Delawaro break­ water. She carried no passengers. None of the crew was killed when she was torpedoed. A message to Lloyds from Kinsale, Ireland, says that when the Nebras­ kan passed that point bound for Liver­ pool, she was down at the bows. She was under her own Bteam and flying the signal: "I am not under control." A message to Lloyds says an armed trawler went to the assistance of the Nebraskan and stood by her all night. President Harold Sanderson of the International Mercantile Marine offi­ cially confirmed the torpedoing of the Nebraskan. The ship is under char­ ter to the company of which Mr. San­ derson is the head, but is owned by the American-Hawaiian- Steamship company. : IMPORTANT NEWS j j : ' ITEMS ]| ILLINOIS TO HAVE WATERWAY Senate Passes Act Adopting Governor Dunne's Eight-Foot Canal 8cheme --Adopted by House.

In winning the race, DePalma clipped more than half an hour off the old record, going the route in 5:33:55.50, an average of 89.84 miles an hour. The old record was 6:03:55.50, an average of 82.4*? miles an hour, made a year ago by Rene Thomas in a Delage. Close behind DePalma came Darto Resta, winner of the Vanderbiit and Grand Prix races this year. Less than three laps separated these two Italian rivals' and the duel "between them had been in progress all day. It was DePalma'® greater experience and better racing brain that told the story. - DePalma virtually ran Resta to death on two occasions, once when he was striving to regain a lost lead and the other when Resta was trying to do the same thing. On both occasions DePalma jockeyed with his Anglicized compatriot and on both occasions he made Resta overstep the hounds of safety for himself. America had to be content with third and fourth places, Gil Anderson taking third with a Stutz, while Earl Cooper took fourth with another Stuts. The Hoosier machines made a valiant Bhowlng but they could not speed up quite fast enough to catch the flying German and French cars. The Stuts entries set the pace for the first hun­ dred miles of the classic, but then they had shot their bolt and never again seriously threatened to take the lead away from DePalma and Resta. The start was perfect, the best ever obtslned for the event. The cars went over the wire in perfect line, for the most part, only a few inches apart. Dario Resta took the lead at the end of the first lap,* but on the second Howdy Wilcox brought the intensely partisan Indianapolis crowd to its feet by going by the Englishman in a brush on the backstretch. Wilcox lived up to the expectations of those followers of the race by setting a torriflc pace from the start. Resta challenged Wm, but DePalma lived up- to his promise by letting the Ameri­ can force the pace. The first lap was run In 1:39, an average better than ninety miles an hour. Three cars were forced out of the race before the leaders hsd gone one- fifth of the distance. The Purcell, driven by Cox; the Mais, driven by John Mais, and the Bugatti, driven by George Hill.
