St. Paul, April 20 In the senate the ID
day was spent in gathering up odds
and ends Of desirable bills and in
transacting other business that comes
on during the closing hours of a legis-
8lative session. One of the pleasant Oc-#
casions Of the day was when Senator
George L. Barr of Blue Earth was
elected president pro tempore, and an
other followed Immediately when SEN
ator Stevens presented Lieut.. Gov.
Gibbs with handsome group picture
/ of the members of the senate en-
| ployes. During the afternoon the sen
ate had as a special order one Of the
| most important measures of the ses-#
sion. u It was the Miller bill to give
4 more effect to findings Of the state
railroad and warehouse commission,
and has been in evidence all through
the session as S. r. 33, being one Of
1 the first bills introduced. Along with
1 it was considered II. f. Is, by Mr.. ia
1 cobson, which is a bill exactly similar
4 to the Miller bill AS a result of yes
4 terday's inquiry into the bills the SEN
4 ate reyamped both measures and
merged them into one, which was
! placed or the calendar. Senator Steb-
. bins called up the Sweningsen anti
4 compact insurance BILL securing a re-
l consideration of the vote whereby the
bill was killed last Saturday. Ii was
his intention to have another vote tax
en- on the passage of the bill, but by re
quest of Senator Sperry the bill was
referred to the committee on insurance.
The committee reported the bill back
" in the afternoon, with an amendment
knocking out an accompanying revis-
B ion of the insurance laws. After be-
ing discussed for some time the bill
was again lost by tie vote-21 to Il.
The Meyers house bill to authorize city
