Vanderbilt Bridal Veil Faiis. The bill to create a Starved Rock park commission, passed by the legis- ature at the last session and signed by the governor, takes effect after July, when Gov. Deneen will name the members of the board to carry out the provisions of the new law. There seems to be many excel- jnt reasons for preserving this bit <f laud as a public reservation, for it is one of the .most historical places in Illinois, Starved Rock is a precipit­ ous bluff on the Illinois river, near Ottawa, IJtica, LaSalie and Peru. It was discovered by Marquette and .Toilet In 1673 and there in 1682 Tontl and La Salle built Fort St. Louis. The rock obtained its name from an inci­ dent In the wars between the Iroquois and Illinois Indians. A number of members of the latter tribe were trapped there by a band of the fierce Ipoquols and starved to death. Starved Rock is the highest elevation in Illi­ nois and the beautiful scenery there has made it a favorite summer resort. From its summit the view over the rich valley of the Illinois river is mag­ nificent. Visitors still may pick up flint arrow heads and other relics of the bloody Indian wars that were waged for the possession of this fair land. TIME LIMIT ON BILLS UP Gov. Denesn's Signature Is Affixed on Measures--Business Corporations Act Vetoed--School Plan Is In Effect Tuesday. Springfield.--Time for the -affixing of Gov. Deneen's signature to bills passed by the late legislature expired Tuesday night. Among the more important meas­ ures vetoed was the "business corpora­ tions" act. The school codification bill was signed by Gov. Deneen and became a law immediately, having passed both houses of the general assembly with an emergency clause. The schools of the state operated Monday under the provisions of the new law, which en­ acts in a logical order and simple manner all the acts and parts of acts relating to the management and con­ trol of the schools of Illinois. Gov. Deneen signed the military oode bill, bringing the state National Guard Into conformity with tbe .rules of the regular army. Other Bills signed wen: > u House 861, Pervler--Amends the act reg­ ulating cemeteries by giving: the "trus­ tees of any public graveyard" authority as given to boards of directors of ceme­ tery associations to set aside in a trust Business Corporation Act Vetoed. Gov. Deneen's veto message on the "business corporation act" was filed In the secretary of state's office. The corporation act, entitled senate bill No. 286 changing the entire corpora­ tion laws of the state, Was conceded to be one of the most important of the measures which emanated from the Forty-sixth general assembly. In part, the vetojmessage says; Section 31 reverses the public policy of the state which has ob­ tained since 1872 and In my judgment does not provide proper safeguards or define the proper limitations to the power of corporations to own stock in other corporations. It confers larger powers upon corporations in this di­ rection than are granted to them by any other great commercial state in the United States, so far as I have been able to ascertain during the time which I have had for the considera­ tion of the measure. Whilst I believe that the corporation laws of the state should be thoroughly revised, I be­ lieve that the work should be done by ft commission which could give the |ime necessary to an exhaustive con­ sideration of the subject matter and reports its findings to the general as­ sembly." : Gov. Deneen honored a requisition from the governor of Ohio for the re­ turn of James Winters. _ * for the purpose of keeping the cemetery in repair.

Danger to at least fifty colleges, uni­ versities and seminaries in Illinois was descried In house bill No. 670, which, If it becomes a law, would sub­ ject to taxation over $52,000,000 worth of property held by educational institutions now exempt. Opponents of the bill point out that among the larger Institutions that would be affected and the amount on which they would be assessed, accord­ ing to the figures in the school report of 1906-1308, are; Deplore Morris' Death. , Before adjourning their convention sine die the Illinois Retail Clerks' as­ sociation adopted a resolution deplor­ ing the death of Max Morris, interna­ tional secretary-treasurer of the or­ ganization.
