Dover, March 16 The rush Of new
business continued in the State House
yesterday, particularly in the lover
branch. The Senate had its fair share
OF work; but as 1t is a deliberative
body, the late comers prefer to stand
their chances in the House where every
convenience was offered these eleventh
hour men who want legislation done.
As result Of these two.dsys' run the
members find themselves confronted
with mass of bills which it will take
them from month to six weeks to
dispose Of; TO say nothing OF the public
measures yet to come in from time to
lime as the members see fit to admit
them. The total number of bills intro
duced in the House yesterday was 73.
making grand total of l75 for the two
days The Senate, in the same time.
received about sixty
The Doors Not Yet Closed.
The Senate has closed its doors but the
House has not The Senate adjourned
until II o'clock to-day The House
simply tool a recess until 8 o'clock this
morning, thus continuing its calender
day Of yesterday into to day This gives
late-comers an opportunity to get in
their bills to-day, which Is Wednesday
in the House but Thursday in every
other part f the state This proceeding
upon the part of the House is very
uncommon in the Delaware General
Assembly but nothing unusual in Con-
gress The lower branch Is trying to
bring the Delaware General Assembly
up to date. but the Senate is slow to
follow II is expected that there will be
another rush in the House TO day.
Gam on Delaware Game.
Early in the session Representative
Gam announced his sintention Of introduce
ing game bill. His time was so taken
up in getting his exemption and wife
beating bills through that he did not in
troduce his game bill until yesterday
afternoon.
It makes it unlawful for any person to
kill, take or destroy any partridge quail,
/ grouse. woOdcocl, rabbit or hare between
January / and November 1 or any reed
birds, ortolan. or rail birds in any of the
counties of the state between February
1 and September 1. IL shall be unlawful
20 kill goose swan, brant, or wild duck
between April 10 and October l. Pro.
vided, that nothing in the act prevents
the shooting of woodcock between July /
and September 10. The penalty for
brecch Of these provisions of the bill is
s. fine for each bird or animal killed
The bill further provides that it shall
not be lawful for any person TO ship or to
attempt TO ship, for the purpose Of sell
ing elsewhere, at any season of the year,
any partridge, quail, woodcock, rabbit
or hare that has been shot or trapped in
this state. to any other state, under
penalty Of $50 for each oifense.
A Loaded Bill.
A bill which Is heavily loaded and
will be fought by every lawyer in the
state with the exception of the one back
of 1t was introduced in the House during
the rush yesterday afternoon. Repre-
sentative Spruance presented it as a sub
stitute for a dummy" he had put in
earlier In the day. II Is entitled an act
to amend the charter Of the Chandler
I 7
very short, only occupying two lines Of
type.written copy. but it conveys a
world of meaning TO the many lawyers
who make their money by making title
searches. The full text of the amend.
ment is as follows:
"That the said corporation may, and
authority is hereby given TO the sal d
corporation to guarantee titles and real
property.
In years gone by much larger bills, but
conveying no greater powers,
have brought to Dover large delegations
of lawyers In opposition TO them. Per-
sons who have title-search made would
naturally rather have It guaranteed, and
any company getting such charter
would do an extensive business amount
ing to almost q monopoly. The civil
lawyers do not want It that way. IL
will be interesting to see just how far
they will let Mr.. Chandler's amendment
get before they pull the string on it.
5 Representative sevirs Blue Law.
; Repres. ntative Sevil has in charge a
blue law bill of which he is doubtless
not the father but he introduced it yes
