 The Senate was also interrupted by the concert of the band of the Boys Industrail School, which the Senators thoroughly enjoyed.
 It is expected that today will be the last of the debate on the railroad mat voted to any one of the bills, but to all of them and when a vote Is taken on one, 1t is the common belief that that will be the vote on all.
 After half day for attention to the old soldiers the Senate got back to work at 2:10 o'clock with thirty pres ent.

 MT. Leith said Senator Blackmon had prayed for the railroads and asked the Almighty to protect them.

 Cotton Seed Meal BiII.
 At o'clock the cotton seed meal bill was called ID. 1t provides three grades for use as fertilizers, as follows; Standard, 1-2 per cent; Medium, per cent, and Low Grade. less than this per centage of ammonia. All must be tag sed with the analysis.
 MT. Leith favored the bill as neces- sary for the cotton seed industry
 Mir. Merritt opposed the bill because he had been told 1t was not just to all interests. Mir Reese favored the meas ure in speech which showed he had given much study to the question:
 Mi. Reese asserted that the bill as now fixed gives every advantage to the fertilizer men. forcing the sale of the output through q middle man instead Of direct to the user. with the extra ex- pense of the middle man.
 After a talk by Senator Thomas, the bill passed, 24 to 2. As amended the bill allows the sale of any class or meal If not for fertilizer.
 Just before adjournment MT. TeasIey proposed his amendment to the maxi mum rate bill to provide for contest In courts of the States of rates thus fixed. making the Railroad Commission de- fendant in the suits. Action might be brought in any State court or other tribunal of concurrent Jurisdiction. The amendment proposes full legal machin- cry. A feature is that no railroad shall be granted an injunction except after five days notice. This Is practic- aIly the same legal procedure of the old act for testing it in the courts.
