HOUSE HOLDS BUSY SESSIONS;
 INTRODUCES 75 MEASURES.

sVann. of Henry. Lovelady. of Jefferson. and Buiger. of Tallapoosa,
 | MT. Bulger, of Tallapoosa, presented
 a resolution directing the doorkeeper
 to secure a copy of the Code for each member of the House. His attention that this was covered by resolution passed Wednesday. and he withdrew
 his proffered resolution.
 Rules Committee Named. l Speaker Martin then announced the first committee of the session. The | committee on rules is to be composed of Messrs. John. of Jefferson. Maner. of Montgomery. Tunstall, of Hale. Long of Butler. Carmichael of Colbert l and Steagall of Dale. It will be mo- ticed that all. with the exception of | former Speaker Tunstall. are strong | Conner men. The appointment of MT. Tunstall was regarded as very pret- | ty compliment to him. and a pleasing | acknowledgement of his service in the Speakers chair from years ago. Two messages were received from proposed qualification of the laws of l the State, provided for by the last session of the Legislature. was trans | mitted to the Senate for the considera- | ton of the two houses. The other | transmitted to the House a list of the pardons. reprives. commentations. l etc.. of the Governor.
 The first call of the counties for the introduction of bills and resolutions
 advanced to the county of Crenshaw before a single bill was presented. the call apparently coming as something of a surprise to most of the mem- bers.
 But Representative M w Rushton
 of Crenshaw was ready with a grist of | seven bills, which were duly read and referred to the proper committees. | Other members of the House were searching their desks for bills when MT. Carmichael of Colbert County, that the further call of the House for the l introduction of bills be deferred unsil after pr. Palmer had addressed the | House, the hour having arrived that | was set by joint resolution for the two houses to listen to his address. Introduced Seventy-1lve Bills. Later in the day. after the joint ses- | sion to canvass the vote cast at the November election. the introduction of bills was again taken up, and members from every portion of the State parti- cipated in the function. until the total of seventy five proposed measures had
 been presented. All were read by title and referred by the Speaker to the ap- propriate committees.
 It was 10.40 o'clock when the mem | hers of the Senate appeared at the door | of the House, escorting pr. Palmer of | the Department of Agriculture at Washington, who was to address the 1 joint session on the subject of game preservation and the necessity for en- | acting legislation at this session of the Legislature for the protection of | the birds and the game of the State, | He called attention, in the course of | his speech of twenty minutes, to the l face that Alabama is the only State in the Union which does not protect it's game. As result. all the quail. for il lustration, that are used in the largo
 cities, must come from Alabama, as tho
 other States prohibit the shipment of game outstdc their boundaries.
 The subject. Le pointed out, was one | of great interest to non-hunters, as
 yell as hunters. aA~tne birds were great enemies of the boil weevil and
