There was pretty sharp fight in
in the senate over the bill prohibiting
pool selling when that measure ca14e up
on general orders. The pending bill was
the subs itute presented by the Ramsey
and Hennepin delegations for the origl-
nal pool bill that was put in by Mr.. Ives.
Mr.. Ives moved that his bill be substi-
tuted for the delegations substitute.
The Ives bill was then recommended for
passage in the committee Of the whole,
and in the regular session the recommen-
dation was adopted by the close vote of
20 to 10.
The senate acted adversely on the
house bill providing for revision of the
statutes, and it will probably be rejected
when it comes up for final passage.
