 Senate Session. Things looked a little bit squally in ] the senate this morning when Senator 1 Teasley of Montgomery criticised the i rules committee for falling to put the ] bill for Improvement of the capitol on ! said that he had been treated unfairly several times by the committee, and he i did not think 1t right that five men had been able to block this muchly needed Legislation. It had been his intention, he said to amend the bill to make the appropriation s25,000 year until the west wing of the building could be completed. MT. Lusk opposed the bill.
 MT. Teasley tried to get the new poll tax bill passed but failed. He said it would put $500 year Into the treas ury from Montgomery county. MT. Hayes was for 1t, but on motion Of MT. Lusk, 1t was tabled.
 An agreement was reached in confer ence on the anti-lobby bill so that all features save that of corrupt solicita- . ton is removed. This Is just about tl-e | provision of the old code section. Sen ator Miller led the fight for elimination in the bill to this extent in the senate and won out. The bill was championed In the house by MT. John and the senate by MT. Lusk.

This bill was presented in the house by MT. Haley and was favored in the senate by MT Miller, who said that it was needed.
 a Ae bill is pattern of the law in force in Denver and is said to be a good one.
 Mir. Thomas tried to kill the bill by a vote to table, but lost. Mir. Spragins had it amended to require viaducts only when it was shown that they were needed to protect human life; also that orders for such construction be reviewed on appeal to the chancery court. Mir. Spragins and MT. Blackmon thought the bill gave the cities too much power. In the end the bill was passed with the two Spragins amend ments.
 The house bill to allow a special road tax was passed
 Much of the time was taken up in the Kirby bill for school supervision, which had passed the house. Mir. Mer- ritt offered an amendment to eliminate
