THE SESSION ENDED IN War
,o,,sr AND SENATE SLAPPED
ZACH OTHER ON EVERY TURN.

Meet a Conference Committee.

Meet a Conference Committee.
,rTANTA, Ga.-Both houses of
49,. LEGISLATURE adjourned sine die at
to.o5 o'clock tonight. There early
developed an irreparable breach be-
tn.oan the house and the senate, and
.o+bing was done except the passage
Of bill by the senate prohibiting
messenger boys from working after
o'clock at night.
The senate appointed conference
Committee to confer with a commit
zoo of the house on the senate
amendment increasing salaries of APP
ooIIare court judges from $4,000 to
4 a. o00 p year. The house insisted
] On IFS position and refused to confer
with the senate, thing unprece-
dented in Georgia legislation, de-
cared Hall of Bibb.
The senate, naturally indignant at
q the discourtesy shown, refused even
IN consider the house amendment to
the bill putting solicitors-general on
maximum salary of $4,000 year.
The senate adopted the Hall state
auditor bill by substitute and the
house promptly rejected the substi-
& tute.
Then the house adopted a resolu-
tion fixing the hour of adjournment
at 1915, which was rejected by the
senate and 10:45 substituted. This
was agreed to by the house.
The session ended in open war be-
tween the two houses, without any
D thought of legislation, and the bill,
which passed the senate, got through
by a fuke as it had been determined
to pass no more house bills.
There we're the usual informal ses-
sions. with which legislatures close,
compliments were exchanged and
handsome gifts presented to the off
GERS and leading members. Though
/ appearing in character the informal
sessions were little, if any more dis
orderly than the regular sessions.
The Afternoon in the House.
As Illustrating the inconsistency
which has generally pervaded it's con-
duct the house this afternoon voted
IS to concur in the senate amendment
increasing the salary of judges of the
q court of appeals from $4,000 to S.
goo year, the ayes being 50 and
the nays 6S, this eventually going
to its death in the night rupture
On the heels of that it killed the
senate bill to increase the salaries of
the supreme court justices to the
same amount, the vote being IS to
81, with 1913 affirmative votes re-
quired.
Then, about face, it voted with 76
ayes to 60 nays to recede from it's
action in cOncurring in the senate
amendment and put the salaries of
the judges of the court of appeals
where they were before.
After that, thinking the calendar
cleared, somebody moved to adjourn
SINE die. Attention was called to the
TACT mat the amendment which had
ust been disagreed to must be sent
odck TO the senate for it's concur
action.
A conference committee, it was
SHOWN, might be appointed. Pend
