By a vote of 16 to IS the. senate
| this morning killed the bill which was
| designed to permit wholesale drug
gists to sell alcohol not below 100
proof to registered pharmacists and
! licensed practicing physicians
When the alcohol bill came up for
final passage Senator Carey moved
J that the enacting clause be stricken
! from the bill. Senators Carey, Eager
/ berg and Robertson argued that the
senate has passed a good prohibitory
| law that prevents the sale of any in
| toxicating liquor in the state and in
order to be consistent they did not be
| lieve the senate ought to permit
! wholesale druggists to sell alcohol.
| Senators Stewart, Quincy and
Hamilton opposed killing the bill on
| the ground that it would do an injury
/ to a legitimate business.
| Senator Carey declared that in all the
/ prohibitory legislation some of the
! business interests have to suffer. He
| mentioned that the brewers were
/ driven out of business in the state and
made to suffer losses and he opposed
1 receding from the stand of the senate
| on prohibitory legislation in order to
| favor a few wholesale druggists
! When the vote was taken majority
| of the senators favored striking out the
enacting clause and the bill was killed.
! Senator Leidys bill. No. 514, author
| izing county superintendents in certain
| them failed of passage in the senate
today. On roll call there were IL votes
j for the bill and IA against. call or
/ the senate was demanded and even
| then the bill did not have a constitu-
/ tional majority. President Fitzgerald
1 ordered the secretary of the senate to
/ issue warrants for the three absentees,
Senators MYERS Lower and Stewart
Before the warrants were issued, how

be raised inaSnluch as the votes of the
absentees would not change the re-
suit.

In the House.
The house today voted to concur
] in the second conference committee
report on the guaranty bill, only the
| following members voting nay: Ash
craft, Bennett, Brown, Harmon, Has
kin, Hines. Jewett of Lane, keraus,
Kuoni, Morrison, Penwen, Ryan
! Schaumburg, Stone of Sherman.
Most of these members explained
their vote by declaring that the bill as
placed on final passage is not radical
| enough nor effective in the interests
of the depositors.
| terially change the bill. only slight
concessions being made by either side.
The house today lifted some dozen
or more bills from general orders and
advanced them to third reading sub
! ject to amendment and debate under
a two minute rule. This is encourag-
/ ing. and should cut out long speeches
as the clerk has instructions to hold
the watch on all orators.
The bill of Morgan of Reno to
| establish maximum freight rates for
! the transportation of certain COM
modities in carload lots in this state
came up in the house for final pass
age this morning, but roll call was
deferred until tonight in order to al
low members to look over the new
schedule of freight rates that accom-
panied the bill.
The report of the ways and means
committee of the house recommend
ing that the state fair bill not pass
will not be made until the minority
report by Jewett of Sedgwick is pre-
pared. This minority report is sure
to be made this week and the state
fair question fought out on the floor
of the house.
Jewett of Sedgwick will also make
minority report on the bill to erect a
memorial hall in Topeka for war
relics and the state historical collec-
ton. There is a chance now to pass
this bill since the Kansas war claim
of 100000 has been allowed by con-
gress. Part of the money for this
claim can be devoted to the hall Such
a hall is badly needed by the state.
The senate bill providing for the
publication of receipts and expendi-
lures of moneys used for political
purposes was passed by the house to-
day. The most drastic portions of this
campaign pledge were withdrawn
before the senate passed the bill.

committee today had the resolution
