 There were eighty members of the House present when the afternoon session be- gan.
 MT. Watts of Wilcox introduced a reso- lution to arrange a game of baseball be- tween hines selected from the House and from the Senate, to be played at Athletic Park today. The resolution was, however, laughed down after it had been referred to the Committee on Penitentiaries and Criminal Administration, where 1t was met by a protest from Chairman Wood of that committee.
 Werner Renews Motion.
 MT. Werner renewed his motion to take from the adverse calendar the State dis pensary bill. This motion at the morning session had given way to the special or der at Il o'clock to the Municipal corpo- ration bill.
 MT. Starr of Dallas supported the Yer ner motion. The House, he said, would allow a county to vote on a good road If it wanted to, and the bill allowed q county to vote on a dispensary question if the people wanted an election. He saw TO reason why several counties collective ly could not vote on the question of a dispensary.
 Criticised by Hoffman.
 MT Hoffman of Mobile submitted that the House should stand by the commit tee. The advocates of the bill, he said, had come before theHouse admitting their measure was defective. Without attempt ing to amend the bill in the committee, they were trying to take up the time of the House in mending an admittedly de- fective measure.
 MT. Goodwin of Montgomery said that the Temperance Committee had carefully and thoroughly considered the bill and had, by practically unanimous vote4 | adversed it. The bill, he said, was an at- tempt to ram down the threats of the people in some counties a dispensary | election whether they wanted it or not The House had uniformly given dispen- sary election when 1t was wanted, and any county could hold such an election upon the demand of its people. He asked | the House to stand by the committee. | The motion was indefinitely postponed ayes, 61; nays, g.
