Among the other pins TO ran by
the wayside were:
BY Hutcheson-To prevent mar
riage of minors.
By Jones, Of Trego-To prevent the
marriage of relatives of any degree.
By Barnd-Requiring the holders Of
claims against the state to first get
Judgment in the district court before
the legislature will pay them.

nation of auctioneers.

The farmers scored point in the
house when they got their bill max
ing chicken stealing felony, punish
able by prison sentence, placed up
on the calendar. The Judiciary com
mittee reported the bill adversely.
Adams, of Sedgwick, and Waggener
submitted minority report. Adams
said that the farmers Of Kansas had
petitioned for such a law and they
should have It. Kirkpatrick opposed
such legislation. He said a prison
sentence was too severe penalty for
man who stole one chicken. He
also suggested that it was easy now
to convict a chicken thief of petty
larceny, but that, II it were made a
felony, 1t would be hard to secure
convictions. The motion to adopt the
minority report and put the bill on
the calendar for consideration car
ried.
Waggener's constitutional conven-
ton resolution was made special
order for next Wednesday.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. A-Sensz[
Smith has introduced . bill provid-
ing for a juvenile court to look after
unruly children. 1t clothes the pro-
bate judge with parental jurisdic-
tion over all incorrigible children un-
der the age of 16 years. 1t gives him
authority to take charge of such
children and to send them TO some
home or institution which is not Pc
nal in its nature, and which is under
the control of the state board of
charities. No action Of the court
shall be construed as convicting chill
dren Of crimes.
Senator Henley believes that the
most appropriate plan for commem-
Grating the deeds Of Kansas soldiers
in the civil war and the Spanish
American war would be to erect a
fine gymnasium building at the state
university and dedicate it to their
memory. In accordance with this
plan he has introduced bill in the
senate asking for an appropriation
of 100000 for that purpose.
A law that will make it harder
to secure divorce by default was
passed in the senate yesterday. 1t
provides that the court shall appoint
a lawyer to represent the defendant
in every such case.
A stringent child labor law passed
the senate. 1t forbids the employ
ment of children under IA years Of
age at any steady labor and provides
that no person under 16 years Of age
may work at night. The bill will me-
cessitate the employment Of men as
messengers by the telegraph COM
panies.
Nine bills were passed by the SEN
ate In the afternoon and messaged
to the house. Among them were the
following:
By MISUNDERSTANDING county
attorneys to appear in all divorce
cases.
By Findlay-Authorizing Barton
