of the invitations received by legisla-
tors to attend the reception to be
held in connection with the marriage

Madison. March 20.-When the Bell
bill providing for tenders and pilots
Gil all street and interurban railways
came up for engrossing in the as
sembly, having been recommended
for passage by the committee on
transportation, Assemblyman Thomp,
son Of Milwaukee introduced a drastic
amendment regulating the penalties
failure to comply with the require
ments of the law. The fines range
from $50 to 1000, and the rate
commission is given the power to de-
termine the kind of fender to be used.
On motion of Mr.. Bell the bill was re-
referred to the committee on trans
portation. Three bills were ordered
for engrossment: the Turner bill, re-
lating to the scattering of weed seed;
the Cleary bill providing for penalties
for nuisances in the capitol park, and
the Jones bill requiring the Babcock
bills We're ordered to third reading,
one being the cause of short debate.
The bill changes the law now in force
regulating the swearing in of non
registered electors to the extent that
one freebooter may sign five instead
OF only three affidavits. The He'll
bron amendment changed the bill so
as to substitute for 'freeholders' the
words registered, qualified electors. ;"
tc relieve conditions in Milwaukee
ing, migrating population, it is often
as to substitute for ''freehOidefs" the
The purpose of the amendment was
where on account of the large rent
difficult to obtain the signatures of
two freeholders. The upstate mem
bers of the legislature were opposed
to relaxing the registration require
ments and feared that such leniency
might tend to make electors careless
Hebron and Kander of Milwaukee
urged it's adoption. The amendment
was lost and the original bill was
ordered to third reading.
BY a vote of 20 to the senate
passed a bill introduced by Senator
Hazelwood to extend the term of of
flee of county and district school SUI
perintendents from two to four years.
A petition memorializing congress
regarding uniform state laws for pro-
lection of fish and game was intro
duced by the committee on fish and
game. Senator Hudnall moved that
it be referred to the committee on
judiciary as a legal question was in
volved. He thought that possibly
the migration of birds might be con-
strued as interstate commerce and in
that even congress would have juris-
diction. Senator Brownies roads res
clution, to amend the constitution so
that the state may appropriate money
for building roads, was laid over for
week. 1t was reported favorably by
CO.. imittee, Senator Whitehead dis

pom ballot was advanced.

cal bill, making a universal 8-hour
day on all public work was favor

mittee on manufactures and labor. 1t

to school districts. Why counties are

In spite of half-hour's speech by
Carl d. Thompson of Milwaukee, the
social democratic resolution which
provides for memorial to congress
on the ultimate ownership and opera
ton of railroads by the government
was effectively shelved for the time
being by being re-referred TO the
committee on transportation. The
committee o npublic health yesterday
introduced new bill which propose
more stringent requirements in regard
to the issuance of marriage licenses.
