TO LINGER LONGER
The Legislature May Not Get
Away From Town
Until Wednesday or Wednesday
Night, It's Thought.
CAUSE OF THE DELAY
Is the Big Miscellaneous ApprO-
priatiOn Bill
Which Ns Be a Hard Fought
leasure.
CAUSE OF THE DELAY

The probability is the legislature will
not get away before Wednesday, and
perhaps not till Wednesday night There
are several reasons for this, the principal
one being that the miscellaneous appro-
priation bill is not even prepared yet,
and when introduced is likely to provoke
a long discussion. The ways and means
committee is now at work on the bill,
and as soon as it can Ge prepared it will
be introduced The final adjournment
will depend on the amount of discussion
which arises over it.
Chairman Rogers, of the senate ways
and means committee, and Mr. Reming
ton, acting chairman of the house ways
and means committee, both say the legIs-
lature will be here until Wednesday, and
perhaps till Wednesday night.
Another thing which may delay ad-
journment will be the enrolling of bills.
Mrs. Hughes, the chief enrolling clerk
of the house, expected TO get the same
position next year, and when she heard
that the bill directing all enrolling to be
done by printing had passed she flew
into perfect tantrum, thereby empha-
sizing the necessity of some other way
of enrolling bills than by women.
She had directed some of her
clerks to come to work Satur-
day night and others Sunday
afternoon, but after receiving the news
Of the passage of the bill she got her
dAnder up. PUT up that bill" she said.
~ don't want you to do another thing
today and 1 don't want to see one of you
down here tonight or tomorrow. l don't
care when they get away. Well take
our time to do this work"
If therefore Mrs. Hughes clings to her
determination and there is great deal Of
enrolling to do the legislature may have
to wait that account in connection
with the other reasons stated
In the house this morning Mr.. Rohr-
baugh asked unanimous consent to have
the roll called on q senate bill. It was
one to provide for the trading of large
number of useless state reports which
are lying ia the basement OF the state
house for books suitable for the state
library, the exchange to be made at the
rate of $225 a volume. The bill was
passed.
Mr.. Caldwell desired to have the bill
in regard to the practice of dentistry
Withdrawn from the enrolling room to
which it had gone. He said it was
passed under the apprehension that it
protected the dentists and was desired by
their association. On the contrary he
said it let in quacks and repealed all
protective laws which existed His mo-
tion prevailed.
a number of local bills were also
Withdrawn.
