IN THE SENATE.
1t was intended that the child labor
bill should be made special order for
Wednesday; but the matter was con-
tinued until Saturday.
Senator Gainess bill regulating the
delivery Of alcoholic liquors by rail-
roads, came up again. 1t had been re-
committed on Saturday to enable the
judiciary committee to look farther in
to the present law on the subject. The
committee reported that the subject Is
fully covered by section 33 Of the dis
pensary law Of 1896, and they recon-
mended that the bill be laid on the ta-
BILE. By vote of IA to II the commit
tee recommendation was rejected.
Senator Appelt offered an amendment
which would relieve the railroad COM
panies of liability where employees vlo-
late the law, because they might do 10
secretly and against the orders Of the
company.
Senator Brice also was Of the opinion
that the railroads might be imposed
upon, unless Senator Appelts amend
ment prevailed.
Senator Henderson offered an amend
ment which would hold the railroad re-
sponsible when the employe violates the
law in the course Of his duty"
Senator Brown at this point moved
to indefinitely postpone the bill, but
this was lost by vote of IS to IA.
Senator Henderson's amendment was
then adopted by a vote Of 26 to g.
The bill was then ordered to the third
reading. AS amended it provides a
penalty of $500 in case railroad or ex-
press companies deliver alcoholic IL
uuors elsewhere than at a regular de-
pot, or when 1t Is delivered by en-
ployes in the course Of their duty. The
bill does not interfere with the free de-
livery that exists in various cities
Among the bills ratified was the joint
resolution to extend the time for the
payment Of taxes to March l.

included as a part Of the yearly appro-
priation.
