NO NEED TO HOLD A SATURDAY
SESSION.
EVANS BILL REPORTED
Effective Anti-Cigarette Measure Rec
commended by the Senate Commit
tee on State Affairs in Favor of
Concurrence-AII BARRIERS Bills
Likely to be Killed.
Madison March II.

The senate worked so hard yester
DAY that it was determined not to hold
a Saturday session The assembly
will meet tomorrow, but the senators
believe that the lower house takes
enough time in oratory to require an
extra day of each week. The senators
pride themselves on working nightly
while they are at it and accomplish
ing as much work in four days as the
assembly does in five or six. This is as
a humorous senator expressed it. At
any rate the upper house, on motion of
Senator Munson, voted against hold
ing a Saturday session.
1t seems assured that Governor La
Toilette will have an anti-cigarette bill
sent to him for approval. The report
of the assembly measure for concur
renee indicates that the upper house
will probably pass the somewhat dras-
tic Evans bill.
Daily Petitions.
The daily petitions to the senate
were similar in character to those OF
the proceeding days, many in favor Of
the Morris county option bill, for anti
cigarette legislation and for and against
the fraternal regulation bill.
The committee on state affairs re-
ported for indefinite postponement the
senate anti-cigarette bill AMI the
bills to repeal and change the BARRIERS
license law. Senator North secured
preference of the barkers' bills to the
committee on corporations. The SEN
ate cigarette bill reported for killing
was a duplicate Of the assembly bill.
The committee reported the assembly
bill in favor of concurrence. Senator
Smith dissented.
Many Committee Reports.
The reading of committee reports
occupied a longer time than at any
previous meeting this session. Show
ing that the committees are not only
diligently applying themselves, but
that they are freely disposing of the
great number of bills before them.
