Three Interest Bills.
The interest question was brought
forward by Senator McHale moving
that the house interest bill be placed on
general orders for this morning. The
matter was debated at length, the men,
bers favOring the banking committee
bill opposing, while the other side
favored the motion. The vote resulted
in favor of the consideration of the
measure, and so the special order to-day
will have no less than three interest
bills on it.
The calendar for the day was finally
taken up. Senator Craig's bill to limit
the salaries of the officers of building
and loan associations was passed at
once. This bill provides, among other

that the attendance would not be large
enough to give the bill the necessary
twenty-eight votes. Forty-four senators
were brought into the hall and the vote
was taken, the measure becoming law
by 80 ayes to nays.
\ recess until 8 o'clock was then
