 The Senate.
 And the osteopathy bobbed LID again. If was made a special order for noon Wednesday. The bugbear of the senate at the ante-recess session was called uu by Senator Hogue. The gentleman from Perry asked unanimous consent to call 1t S B. 276. No objection was made and the secretary was instructed to read the caption of the bill.
 As soon as the title was read MT. Thomas of Barbour rose and objected to its being called
 President Pro Tenn Goldsby ruled that the objection came too late
 The senator from Barbour was seconded in his objection by Mir. Powell of Butler.
 MT. Powell said that no members wit the exception of Senator Hogue and other advocates of the bill were cognizant of the nature of s. B. 276. Nothing but the num- Der was announced and the senators had no idea what the bill was until the caption was read
 MT. Thomas said that although he meant In no way to reflect on the integ- rity of the chair, its ruling was an in- justice to the opponents of the bill. They were totally unprepared for the calling up of the bill and had no way of telling from the request of the senator from Perry to what the bill referred. The sem ator from Perry said that all the mem bers had considered the bill before the last recess and they were perfectly able to vote on the measure.
 Rogers Earnest Advocate.
 Senator Rogers said that he was an earnest advocate of the bill. He admitted that it appeared an effort was being made by the friends of the measure to have snap judgment taken by the senators. This, however, was not the case. The senator from Barbour had admitted that at the ante-recess session ''the arms of the senators had been talked off on osteo- pathy and he saw no reason why they were not able to vote on the matter im- mediately.
 Senator Powell moved that the vote by which unanimous consent was given Sen ator Hogue to call up the bill be recon sldered.
 Senator Hogue moved that the bill be set down as a special order for Monday noon and that vote be taken at that time without debate
 Senator Powell arose to the point of order that he had a motion before the senate.
 The chair ruled that the motion to set down as special order had the prece- dence
 Thomas Demands Severance.
 Senator Thomas rose to the point that the motion of Senator Hogue provided down as special order and the other to prohibit debate. He demanded sever ance
 Senator Powell moved to amend the motion of Senator Hogue by setting the bill down as a special order for Wednes- day noon.
 Senator Hogue moved to lay the motion of Senator Powell on the table The mo- ton was lost by vote of 12 ayes to nays The question reverted on the mo- tion of Senator Powell which carried.
 The question raised by MT. Thomas as to whether or not debate should be had on the bill was then called and lost by a tie vote-l4 to IA.
 Just as 1t appeared that the osteopathv bill would be voted on without debate Senator Hipp arose to the point that to vote on the bill without debate would re- quire a suspension of the rules Under the rules this would have to be referred to the rules committee with a days mo- tice.
 The point was well taken and this ref erence was made. The question as to whether or not the bill will be undebated will come up before the rules committee at a meeting today
