MEMBERS ARE DISAPPOINTED

Tn rather desultory fashion the House of Representatives went about their business of considering Senate bills and amendments to House bills yesterday. By no means is the more numerous wing of the Legislature agreeing consistently with-<he Senate action on measures, and yesterday wit messed the death of two important bills. One or these was the bill reg ulating the sale of goods in bulk. and the other proposing to establish . State Board of Veterinary Examiners < At the end of the afternoon session Speaker Carmichael caused evident dis- appointment by announcing that II would be improbable that the Legtsla- ture would adjourn before Wednesday In fact, all signs point to final adjourn ment about Wednesday noon. though there is left the chance of adjournment late tonight since the Senate made good progress last night. The House itself is far ahead of the Senate on its business.
 There was but little opposition to the Senate amendment to the House bill appropriating s1o.0oo for the Gov ernor's contingent fund each year: The amendment raised the sum to s20.0o0 -Hor the year of 1910. providing. how ever, that from the fund should be paid the cost of publishing the Gov Prnor's proclamation on the election on constitutional prohibition.
 when Mir Smith, of Fillmore. put in his eloquent and humorous plea for the country horse doctor" an insti. tuition which he extolied as valuable asset to all communities, his amend. ment to exempt them from the vster. mary bill was adopted. This took the sting outSof the measurs. and caus. ed Mir Tunstsll of Hale. to mnvs the tabiing Of the skeleton which was left. This the House did without a doubt of their sense on this point.
 More tirades on the dishonest mer. chant followed on the consideration of the bulk sales bill Of the Senate than were ever heard in the House. It had able supporters on the flour. many ot the oratoricsf giants throwing their fnll weight to the side of the bill which was heralded as an insurance for the benefit of creditors. Yet with all the flow Of speech fin its behalf it was finally indefinitely postponed in the face of strong petitions from ths wholesale and retail merchants associ- ation Of Birmingham. A test vote on a motion to table. however, showed ths House exactly divided on the bill, the vote being 30 to 90.
 The House declined to concur fE amendments of the Senate liberaiiziDs social club features under the Tarrani sbllL This, 1t IS said ,fH likely tb i'm. peril this law inasmuch as the Senate conferees are said to be unalterably opposed to the bill unless amended The proposed changes which the Sem ate adopted would allow the playing of pool, dominoes, etc. in the social clubs without wager and exempt theiv propefty from taxation up to $200C provided they are non-pecuniary ii their nature and purpose.
 The House heard nothing of the ex. pected amendments of the Governor tC the Fuller bill. though these may come any hour today, 1t Is said.
 Morning Sesalom.
