passed the house BY large majority.

bill and the Shells bill limiting sales
Of liquor under druggist permits were
on the calendar for action, but an id.

before the senate for action.

Bismarck, N. D., March 6.-The SEN
ate and house held meetings last night
to clean up the work of the session iii
time for an adjournment this after
noon. The question of appropriations
is involving the attention of the two
houses, the house having amended a
number of the senate bills, reducing
the provision that has been made for
a number of state institutions. The
total cut was about 100000. The dis
trict judgeship bill increasing the sal
aries of district judge was the star at
traction of the house. The bill was
bitterly fought and as warmly sup
ported, and on the roll call it was
found that the bill only had fifty votes,
one less than the number required. It
was reconsidered, and is still on the
calendard for passage If the house
reaches it. ..,
The senate killed the board of con-
troll bill, reporting it for indefinite
postponement and the recommends
ton was adopted by the senate. The
primary election bill will not be re.
ported, the senate steering committee
having so decided. The Shells bill for
the greater restriction of sales of
liquor by druggists was passed by the
senate, a proposed amendment being
voted down. .-a 1es
