Madison, May 70.
The senate yesterday concurred in
the Warner state civil service bill,
provided another opportunity for the
killing of the capitol removal referen-
dunn bill, passed the automobile reg
ulation bill, killed the Beedle bill to
provide for the election of delegates
to the national convention, killed the
bill of Senator Froemming to incOr-
porate the Milwaukee Gas Light Co.
so as to allow competition in that city
in the business of furnishing gas, ana
concurred in the assembly joint resOlua
ton to hold sessions every day except
Sundays and recall from committees
all remaining bills not later than next

All Want to Get Through.
The resolution for daily sessions
and the reporting of all remaining
bills from the committees was drawn
by the joint committee on rules, so
as to make possible the adjournment
of the legislature by June 10 or a.
There was no opposition to the resolu
ton and the disposition is strong
among the members to bring as soon
as practicable the end Of this the
longest Wisconsin legislative session.
Warner Bill Concurred In.
The civil service bill was not de-
bated, simply voted upon by calling oil
the roll, which resulted 20 to 9, in
favor of the bill, as follows:
For Senators Bird,
Burns, Frear, Hatten, Hudnall,

dolph, Smith. Stevens, Wolf-9.
Oshkosh Clerks PecuIiarties.
Since the joint committee on claims
has come to a conclusion in favor OF
starting at once on the work Of build
ing the new capitol in Madison, there
is an inclination on the part Of the
senate to kill the Stevens
bill providing for referendum
cation of the seat of government.
Senator Noble, VINO favored the
Stevens bill when it was passed Tues
day. moved that the bill be recalled
from the assembly for the purpose OF
making motion to reconsider. The
motion to recall was carried by vote
of II to 10, although Senator Stevens
objected to the procedure as un-
parliamentary The vote was as fol
lows:
For recall-Senators Bird, Burns
Frear, Hatten, Hudnall, Kreutzer
Martin Morris, Munson, Noble, Rogers
Sanborn, Stondall, Stout, Whitehead
Wipperman, Wylie-17.
Opposed-Senators Beach, Froem
ming, McGillivray, North, Randolph
Roehr, Rummel, Smith. Stevens, Vii
cox, Wolff, Wright-12.
1t was found impossible TO get the
bill back from the assembly because
that house had adjourned before the
message from the senate was sent
over. Senator Noble sought to move
reconsideration, but the point was
raised that this could not be done
unless the bill we're present. 1t ap
peared in the discussion that Chic.
Clerk Eaton had been over-precipitou:
in sending the bill to the assembly
but had been slow in sending the mes
sage of recall. 1t was held by Lien
tenant Governor Davidson that tht
right to move reconsideration mus
not be sacrificed on account of the i'm
proper conduct of the clerk, whethe
that conduct be designed or in
advertent The motion was enter
tanned and will be on the calenda
Friday.
No Milwaukee Gas Competition.
The Froemming bill to Incorporate
the Milwaukee Gas Light Co., an
make it possible for the people q
that city to have the benefit of com
petition in the bushes OF furnishing
gas, was killed without word OF dc
hate other than brief explanation
of the bill and it's proposes by Ser
ator Rummel, the social Democrat
member. He said that the present ga
company enjoys an exclusive franchis
and that this bill will allow anothe
company to enter the field and the re
suit will be better service and cheape
gas for the consumer. The vote wa
3 to % against the measure, as TO
