ness oi the house was being blocked so that a compromise was entered into one of the terms of which was that MT. Rowe as he said was to cease his eloquent and instructive remarks against the principle Of equal suffrage.
 The really most important business of the afternoon in the house was the passage of the council bill regulating the practice of medicine. The chief op- position to the measure had come from the Christian Scientists and others who believe in healing without the use of drugs. The fight against the bill had been begun in the council but it could gain no headway there. COnsidera ole opposition to the bill had been develop ed in the house judiciary committee and two reports attended the bill in the house. The majority report proposed an amendment modifying the prCvis- ions or the bill against the practice of dentistry and of those systems of heal ing in which the administration of drugs is believed to be unnecessary The minority report opposed the amendment and il was adopted. The theory was advanced that the adoption of this report was fatal to the bill So
 
 did not understand the status of the bili that it was decided to divest it al- togs ther of the reports and vote direct ly on the measure. That was done re- sulting in it's passage by the follow ing vote: Ayes-i;arroW Collins. Con zales, Herr. Howell. Ingalls,. Marian. Morriscl, Lamont, Roemer, Rowe, Scl:illing, Whiteside. Williams. the speaker-15. Nays-Bernard. Couan O'cornell, Page. Parr. St. Charles, Webb, Woolf-S.

 More bills. however, were killed in the house than were favorably disposed of. Among them was the bill revising the qualifications of jurors: two council | n-la Ic. .i.yif | by the governor at the request of rail- roads of policeman for the guarding of the property of the road and the other 1 making it crime to ride on any kind oi car except regular and Pullman | cars. The principal speeches against beth these measures were delivered by Messrs. St. Charles and Morrison. The latter advanced the doctrine that i: such q law had been in force in -his territory in the early days most of the present estirnabie citizens of Ariz0na would have been landed in the lookup before they would have had time to settle anywhere else. Mir Morrison would therefore uncomI rcmisingly op- pose the proposition to police the side i .iCor Pullmans. Late in the day a bill establishing board of health in tha i 'tl HUI W as pdSStt- <A pili fullG Slliu- lar was defeated the day before and its reconsideration had been proposed. | In the course of the day various mes I-sages were received from the governor announcing the fate of house bills 1 One of thH messages from the governor announced the signing of the Cowan bill and the bill for the encouragement ! of beet sugar plants.
 n 1a d lot Inc afternoon adjournment was taken until 1:50 p. m. It was understood that the i liveliness O. the evening session might 1 be enhanced by a revival of the figh; over the council woman suffrage bill.
