WAS A SLIM ATTENDANCE
The Senate Couldn't Convene, as There
Were Not Senators Enough Pres
ent--Many Bills in the
House.

State House, Nov. 10.
There were scarcely enough members
in the House to make decent showing
this forenoon, and there were so few
senator's back that no session Of that
branch could be held this forenoon. II
was early for those who live in the more
distant part OF the state, and smallpox
may have had something to do about
the slim attendance.
The House had a short session for the
introduction OF bills, one of the most
important of which was by Mr.. Leary
of Burlington to amend the liquor law
of the state. One OF the greatest pro-
posed changes is to permit incorporated
clubs to sell liquor to members when in
the opinion of the license commissioners
such sale will be all right. The Leary
bill proposes 10 permit druggist licenses
In towns voting yes" that is for every
town of 5000 population and one addi-
tional for every 1000 OF population; it
sets no limit on the number OF druggist
licenses in mo" towns. II makes fee
for first class license not less than $500
nor more than 81 200, and in towns of
less than 1900 inhabitants fee not less
than $500; second class licenses not less
than $3.50 nor more than 81 500.
Another proposed alteration Of the
liquor law was presented in the Senate
this afternoon by Senator Donoway, who
proposed TO add another, or eighth, class
TO the licenses. This eighth class refers
10 inn-keepers and provides for hotel
licenses in towns which do not vote "yes"
II ten per cent. of the voters petition
for the granting OF the license; liquor
to be sold TO guests only and the price
to be not less than 500 and not more
than $500.
Another bill introduced in the Senate
this afternoon was one to pay legislators
! lump sum, $3.50 to the president of the
Senate, the same to the speaker Of the
House, and $500 TO the legislators.
Talk about the State House this after
noon was to adjourn on Saturday of this
week until the Monday following
Thanksgiving.
