.SNUB SENATE BILLS
House Evidently Piqued at the
Way the Upper Branch
Does Business.
LATTER PUTS IN A BUSY DAY
Makes a Vigorous Attack on
General Orders, AdVanC-
ing Many Bills.

ST. PAUL, April 4.-The house devoted
both sessions strictly to its own bills.
The calendar contained 30 bills, and IA
of these were passed. When that part
of the calendar on which senate bills
were in order was reached the house
went into committee of the whole.
Mr.. Roberts of Hennepin pleaded that
one of the senate bills, which, he said,
was local measure relating to the sal
airy of Judges and clerks of the probate
court be passed, but the members would
not listen.
On general orders the same studious
attitude was taken as to senate bills. I'm
each case when senate file was reached
progress was reported. Six house bills
were advanced to the calendar.
The house spent the morning on the
calendar, passing number OF bills.
The Abbott bill providing that every
notarial seal bear the name of its pos
SCISSOR was the only measure lost. The
following were passed:
Bills Passed by the House.
Relating to street railways outside OF
cities and villages.
To legalize certain Acknowledgements.
Empowering county commissioners to
authorize construction and operation OF
street railway lines.
Relating to private detective agencies.
Relating to state elevator site at Du-
luth.
To prohibit dissertation of Decoration
day.
Legalizing plots made by others than
county surveyors.
Changing time for holding court in
Twelfth judicial district.
Regulating the use Of pound nets In
international waters.
Prescribing the duties of the deputy
state treasurer.
Relating to the gathering of farm sta
tistics.
Legalizing deeds made direct by hus-
band to wife or wife to husband with
out subscribing witness.
Allowing city street fair associations
to send delegates to state agricultural
society.
Some Street Car Bills.
In the committee of the whole two
hours were put in on the two bills au-
thorizing city councils to grant fran
chises to street railway companies and
legalizing acts in this direction already
passed by such bodies. The measures
are intended to allow interurban lines
to be constructed and operated between
st. Paul and Saltwater and Anoka and
Minneapolis, although the legislation is
broad enough to cover other trolley
lines in various parts of the state. Both
bills were recommended.
The good roads bill of Mr.. Elwell
(Rep.) of Anoka, II. F. DOL, met with
considerable opposition, but was finally
referred to the roads and bridge COM
mittee. 1t provides for the appoint
ment af highway commission OF three
persons by the governor, not more than
two members to be from the same po-
litical party, and to serve without salary
or compensation except actual personal
expenses incurred in the performance OF
their duties.
