SENATE SAYS NO
RESOLUTION TO CONTINUE SES- SION LOST BY VOTE OF
 17 TO g.
HOUSE HAS A BUSY DAY
State Banking 5ll-Pass State wide Measures.

The Senate by vote of r to 9 de clined to concur in the House resolu- ton to extend the present session to May F.
 The resolution was called up by Senator Logan at a time when there were only 26 Senators present and vot- ing. Out of this number nine opposed the extension.
 As soon as the vote was announced Senator Logan was on his feet with priv eged resolution to notify the House that the Senate stood ready to adjourn Thursday noon, March H. Senator Holland raised the point of order that it was not necessary to so notify the House, that when Thursday noon arrived the session would stand adjourned.
 T simply want to find out what the senators who voted against extension meant by their yotes,' Said Senator Logan. If we are going to extend l let's do it now. If we are going to adjourn, then let it be understood Senator White moved as a substitute that it be laid on the table, and on roll call the motion prevailed by a vote of 15 to IT, and the resolution was tabled.
 Senator Mcknight endeavored to call up a resolution under special privilege extending the session days, but special orders were on hand and he was held out of order
 When a roll call vote had been an nounced, Senator Keel arose to a point of order He said the constitu- tion stated plainly that the last three days of the session must be devoted to House business As the hour for adjournment was Thursday noon, he held that the last vote was illegal. His point was overruled by Presi- dent Martin, who held that House 1 business would be in order from Tuesday morning until the close of the session

Big Things in the House.

By sticking very close to busi- ness the House was enabled to get through with two very important measures as well as dispose of an i'm pcrtant resolution. It was strictly Big Things" day in that body, as no routine matter was considered aside from some petitions sent up just after the House convened.
 The most important matter, perhaps, was the passage of the bill by Mir. Morris of Cleburne, providing for work ing the conYicts on the public roads of the state under the supervision of the various county judges. The bill passed by a vote of 63 to ,, which in- dicates that 1t should pass the Senate without particular trouble The chief features of the bill are that it affects only short-term convicts-that is. those on fiye-year sentence and under; leaves the adoption of the plan option al with the county; places the di- rection of the convicts strictly under the jurisdiction of the county judge, who is to name whatever wardens, road experts or other officers he deems necessary for carrying on the work; limits the time to working con- FiILS JO IV AOulS per udy anu BclWeeA sunup and sunset, and gives the county judge the right, with the con- sent of the prisoner under indictment. but not yet convicted, to allow such prisoner to work on the roads in advance of his trial, allowing him E>roper credit therefor, which amount is to be refunded in case of acquittal or applied on the sentence if finally convicted, but at all times avoiding the necessity 0 ia prisoner lying in jail if he cares to take advantage of the oportunity to work out his prospec- tive sentence in advance.
 The other measure, considerably de bated and finally adopted, was the Seamaster amendment 10 the Warnock banking bill, provinding for the de- positors' guarantee feature, some what modified from the feature as embodied in the Oklahoma banking law. MT. Seamaster. Mir. Combs and MT. Oliphant particularly favored the adoption of the amendment, while Mr Vim very strenuously opposed it. The amendment was finally adopted with only ten dissenting votes
