SUNDAY BILL IS
FINALLY DOOMED
Senate Committee Appointed
to Kill Struggling
Measure.

The death knell of the Sunday closing
bill was sounded yesterday in the ap-
pointment of a senate conference commit
tee on the measure. The bill as it passed
the house was a comparatively rigid sun
day closing law. 1t closed up theatres,
circuses and other places of amusement
When it vas sent to the senate it passed
made to apply to Decoration day well
as Sunday. 1t closed bathing resorts. all
pleasure resorts and prohibited street cars
and railroads from carrying paSsenge-s
to pleasure resorts, bathing resorts or
theat
yesterday, the house refused to concur
in the amendments, and a house committee
of three, consisting of Thompson. Me
Cracker and Mcmillan, the last named
the author Of the bill, to confer with a
like committee from the senate. The
three named from the house all voted for
the bill as it originally passed the house.
a communication was sent to the senate
requesting the appointment of a confer
ence committee. and President Gardner
with twinkle In his eye, named Kuchler,
Seely and Sevy.
The president of the senate could not
have pronounced the death sentence more
effectually than by the naming Of this
committee. Senator Kucnier led the fight
against the Sunday bill, and so loaded it
with amendments as to make ii inopera-
tive. Both of the other members of the
senate committee voted against the bill.
When the committee was announced SEN
ator Wilson protested against the per
sonnet He said that some friend of the
measure should be named on the commit
tee. Senator kuchler said that he had
shown his friendship to the bill by adding
several amendments to It, and the reason
he voted against IL was because he did
not get it amended to suit him.

pass it in a greatly amended form The
bill pleases none OF the senators, and has
no staunch defender. Those who vote
for it as Il now stands will do il because
they want some sort OF temperance ie6is-
lation and think this measure. even
though it be a brewery measure. viii 50
deceive their constituents that it will be
regarded as temperance legislation.
Several of the senators have many
amendments TO offer. The chief amend
ment will be to take the licensing power
away from the state board of examiners
and give it back 20 the county commits
sioners and city councils This amend
ment has the support Of Senators Bad
ger. Brinkerhoff. Burton. tIorsiey. Hulan-
iski, Hyde, kuchler. Miller. Sevy, Ben
ner Y Smith. John Y. Smith and VII
son. so that il seems reasonably sure of
carrying.
On the final passage OF the bill as II
now stands the vote IS said to be:

ton. Horsley, Marks, Sevy, Stookey. VIII

One thousand dollars was stricken
from the board of health appropriation
for archaeological work. and added to
the general appropriation for contingent
expenses of the office; the bacteriolog-
zeal feature having already been cared
for, and the senate having stricken
down $1,000 from the $4,000 originally
decided upon by the committee.

PASS APPROPRIATION BILL

An effort probably will be made in the
senate today to adjourn the present ses-
sion Of the legislature. The senate meets
az O'Clock this forenoon. and an effort
will be made at that time to clear up all
urgent business before the body by this
noon.
The appropriat ton bill passed the house
vest erday afternoon and comes before the
senate I'm its amended form this morning
With some slight amendments, II will
again be passed by the senate, returned
to the house for concurrence. cugTOSScd
and signed by the presiding officers of
each house. This, 1t is anticipated, will b 3
accomplished by noon today.
II this is done, motion will be made
that a committee of three be appointed
by the senate to act with a like COM
ulittee from the house to inform the gov
ernor that the Eighth legislative assem-
bly, OF Utah is ready TO adjourn. There
will be considerable opposition TO such q
motion. and the chances of its carrying
are doubtful. since It will be made before
airy liquor legislation is enacted.
With the apparent zeal of the senators
to disown the latest Cullen hotel BILL now
iTTegularly but somewhat officially known
the Hansen bill. an early adjournment
without action on any liquor bill Is prob
able The country members have been
chatting under the restraint uecessitated
b1 their remaining in attendance without
pay, and are eager to return to their
homes The passage OF the appropriation
bill renders them more free to return to
their homes and several of them have an
nOunced their intention of doing so with
out the Formally OF an adjournment.
The present liquor bill does not suit the
prohibitio1,sts. nor the anti-prohibition-
lists, nor vet the county local cptionists
nor the regulstionists. and there are
many who would be glad Of the oppor-
tunity to go home without having to cast
their votes either for or against the meas
ure.
The governors apnQintmeutS have not
yet been submitted tgfthe senate. but the
governor announced yesterday they would
lie sent in today.

AM ENDMENT FOR
PROHIBITION KILLED

Senator Badger made several desperate
attempts yesterday to secure the pass
age of his joint resolution submitting the
question of constitutional amendment
for prohibition at the next general cleo
ton. The original vote of the resolution
yesterday morning was 9 TO : in favor
Of the resolution. The resolution. since
it provided for constitutional amend
ment. required a tWO-thirGs vote, and was
therefore lost. Senator Badger changed
his vote to no and gave notice of a re-
consideration.
In the afternoon the senate. by a vote
of 10 TO Z, decided to reconsider action
on the resolution. An immediate roll call
was ordered. and the resolution again
failed of passage, this time by vote Of
to 9. The vote was.

Folks who are left here can move close
And won't be annoyed BY noise or din.

Only the wicked folks fear to die
You'll he all fitted for paradise

Then. upon your tomb. we'll put this
