 Another amendment which was adopted provides that in case com pany doing business in this territory has its license revoked in the state or territory under which it was organized, it shall cease doing business here.

 The judiciary committee reported back several measures, among them with favorable recommendation, one giving the court commissioner juris- diction in juvenile court cases in the absence of the court. It was recom- mended that the following do not pass: One bill making it a cause for divorce if either husband or wife has been in sane for ten years and has been pro- nounced incurable; another, house bill AS, in relation to the separate property of husband and wife.
 There was some discussion over a clause of the bill providing that the execution of death sentences shall take place in the territorial prison.
