Frankfort, KY, March 1. Especially
THE bill giving women the right of
suffrage in school elections was
passed by the senate last night with
property qualifications as an amend
ment. The senate last night killed
the bond bill, after II had apparently
been passed. Senator Eaton made a
point of order that 1t required a two
thirds vote and was sustained.

rules committee take charge 12 in

the session caused a long debate and
finally Cox ruled the orders Of the

that a reporter OF the appellate court
shall have printed all the opinions of
the court. Mr.. Carter said that at
present only those opinions so indi-
Gated are printed. and that If attor-
neys desire TO get the other reports
they must be purchased from the
West Printing company"
Mr.. Mcvean said that he thought
the bill aimed to destroy competition
and compel the purchase of these re-
ports from one source.
Mr.. Holland said that the bill is
fair and equitable one. He said that
there is already a reporter of the ap-
pellate court and that no new Offices
GERS salary is increased from 81 900
to $4,000.
Mr.. Graves offered an amendment
providing that the court of appeals
shall be required to recognize the
opinions of any publishing house.
Mr.. Carter said that the amend
ment sought to abrogate the rules OF
the court of appeals. He said the
passage of the amendment would be
an insult to the court of appeals.
During the taking of the vote on
the amendment the third house
men" were active in opposing it. BY
this time 1t became whispered about
that the Frankfort Printing company
was much interested in the success of
the bill.
Efforts to recommit the bill failed.
The sentiment expressed was that
this bill placed in the hands of the
politicians the printing OF the appel
late court reports. The bill was
passed 55 to 16.
