 unsigned bills on the Governors q Z, will occasion delay before the A$
 utive can wade through them. pt z out the unsatisfactory measurF dd
 returning them to the Leg Are.
 Another fear is that the Ss and
 House will not readily ges Ssether on amendments, and that d ( will be caused by non-concurrepee C-gthe two
 houses.
 It Is expected that the Fuller bill
 will be one of the bills to be returned
 by the Governor today, with Corners request that slight amendments be in- serted.
 Morning session. Twenty-five Senator's were present winch the roll call waS sounded after the Sunday recess.
 Senator Reese. rising to the point of personal privileges. declared that his remarks of Saturday. which had been taken by some as derogatory to the | solicitor of Montgomery county. were 1 in no way intended in that light. He expressed his admiration and respect for Solicitor Stern. He explained that
 what he did intend to say was that
 the appointment was inconsistent with the Governors express policy. The explanation was deemed neces- l sary by the Senator in light of an in- depreciation of his remarks on the floor of the Senate last Saturday, in which he spoke of the stand Of the
 sheriff and solicitor of Montgomery county as to prohibition prior to their appointment. The remark had been construed. In some manner by a few | people, as q reflection on the soltci. tor, and Senator Reese undertook the course of a public statement to tell that his intentions were far from in- sinuatfng at the behavior of his
 avowed friend. MT. Stern
 l A time limit of three minutes. by a resolution, was set for all speeches on any subject in the Senate business, to
 expedite matters and to hasten the end | of the session.

 may be exempted from licenses. and 1 taxation to an amount not more than
 s2,Ooo; the second by MT. Miller to the effect that the Proyisions of the bill
 as to gambling houses shall not apply to gameS-rpf cards, dominoes, and the like upon which no money Is at stake. The Reese amendment which was de- feated sought to exempt members of societies organized in 1899, and whose
 members were members of a single re- ligious sect. Apparently aimed at the
 relief of an individual club. 1t was de- feateds

raisers of cotton in the South.
He said, IA minimum fund of
$1O,O00,000, subscribed by the most
conservative financiers- Of the United

such iron-clad securities as shall in
