| barment of lawyers from practice. The bill makes it the duty of the solici- tor to prosecute the case. The bill had the endorsement of the state bar asso- ciation It passed
 The house received a veto message from the governor of house bill S11 relating to the office of solicitor for the Gadsden City court. The bill sought to take the limita- ton of the salary which has heretofore | been $500 and substitute all fees in lieu thereof.
 Regular Order Demanded. 1 Mir. Starr demanded the regulah order and the reading of the title of the senate bank examiners bill caused a quick stir among the members. Chairman Glover of the banking committee moved that the endorsement upon the bill be stricken since 1t Is incorrect. The endorsement, he said showed that the bill had been con- sidered in committee, but that this was not the case and he wanted to strike out the word considered" and write an en- dorsement upon the bill that would be the truth. In the wrangle that followed 1t developed that when the house order ed the committee to report the bill, that i the committee had merely ordered the house to report the bill without recom- mendation," without considering it. A further point against the bill raised by Mir. Rushton that the bill could not be considered as rule five provided that only bills reported favorably could be consid- cred.
 There was considerable discussion, and MT. Thompson of Bibb, told MT. Glover that the purpose of his motion was per- fectly apparent, and MT. Benners argued that the bill was properly upon the cal- endar. It had been read one time, and re- ferred. The committeee had reported the bill, it was read a second and ordered upon the calendar for a third reading on tomorrow without objection from any, body. The bill had to be somewhere. If not in the committee it was on the cal- endar, as there Is no purgatory where bills can rest
 Speaker Tunstall ruled that the bill was properly upon the calendar, and then a motion was made to table the motion of Chairman Glover to permit him to change the endorsement, but the house declined to table by a vote of 46 to 4.
 MT. Benners thought the request of the committee was merely one to stultify it. self. He meant no reflection upon the committee. for It's duties had been enor- nous. The committee had travailed with this billl as no other bill had ever been travailed with It was absurd to strike out the constitutional feature of the bill, and he hoped that the house would not do 1t. If majority opposed the bill kill it fairly and not try to dodge.
 MT. Hoffman was beginning speech in favor of the motion, when the hour Of adjournment was reached
 Senate.

 The bill was called up by Senator Nor row, who secured unanimous consent to call up local bill. When the caption was read Senator Spragins objected. His objection was ruled too late by Leuten- ant Governor Cunningham. Senator Spragins raised the point that unanimous consent had been granted on the state ment of Senator Morrow that the bill was local. The senator from Madison said that the chair had repeatedly ruled that any bill providing for an appropriation was a general bill
 The lieutenant governor said that the point of Senator Spragins was of no lit- tie embarrassment to the chair and he for the first time would exercise his priv ilege Of asking the senate to rule wheth- CT the bill was local or general
 On an aye and no vote Senator Morrow was sustained.
