tending the funeral of Ferdinand Wit
tig at New Denmark. New bills were

Assemblymen Reynolds and Bichler
made things lively this morning in an
effort to secure reconsideration OF
the vote by which the assembly yes
terday killed the bill to appropriate
S4,6O to fishermen paid for licenses.
They claimed that since the legisla-
ture had repealed the law, recogniz-
ing it to be unjust, a further step
should be taken to give the fees col
lected black to the poor fishermen"
BY a vote of AZ to SO the assembly
refused to reconsider the vote.
The assembly adopted the resolu-
ton permitting the tax commission to
investigate the subject of insurance
taxation and report at the special or

Child labor was the bone of cOnten-
| ton in the senate today. When the
Brockhausen bill, providing for Stats
tics on unemployed, came up Mr.. Gay
lord spoke for it. Mr.. Hudnall dis
liked the practice Of putting through
bills needing money and coming
around at the next session for money.

| certain senators who do not want in
formation on important questions"
Mr.. Martin opposed the bill. 1t was

expected big fight in the senate failed
to materialize to-day when the senate
concurred in the assembly amendment
