RICHMOND, VA, Feb. 2S.-At the

Adverse to Statewide.
OF perhaps as much or more IN
terest than the consideration of the
Pyrd bill was the action OF the house
committee on finance on the Myers
State wide prohibition bill, known as
The enabling act After a short exc
outive session in the afternoon the
committee decided to report the bill
with a recommendation that 1t do not
pass.
Railroad Bills.
Two bills were reported, one pre-
pared by a subcommittee, allowing
the merger and s-rs-incorporation-- OF
the Richmond, Fredericksburg and
Potomac, and the other delaying the
operation of the Cooke amendment to
the Sunday railroad bill for six
months to give time for a settlement
Of the question. In the house the re-
port was unanimously agreed to. The
senate referred the whole matter, to-
gether with the bills to the commit
tee on roads and internal navigation.
- City Government:
The joint resolution proposing an
amendment to the constitution, which
will. in future years. allow cities to
adopt a commission fern of govern
ment, was agreed to by the senate.
The house has previously adopted the
resolution and it now goes TO the gov
ernor.
Dentist Law.
Several bills were passed by the
house during the morning hour, the
only ore of general interest being
that requiring dentists TO be gradu-
stes in medicine and surgery. II

years and consequently does not af-
feet any practicing dentists, nor
these now engaged in the study of
the profession, who can qualify with

Closing Hours the Same
The earnest fight waged by the
CIDER interests was thoroughly ef-
fectual and no legislation aimed at
the fruit industry will be in the
Byrd bill. Efforts were made to
change the size Of the towns in which
liquor can be sold, but they were I'M
,availing. In the present bill no town
which has fewer than 500 people can
grant license. There we're amend
ments to reduce this to 900. but with
out result One amendment sought to
increase it to 1000. but this received
very few votes.
None Of the drastic features of the
bill. as 1t was first introduced. is re-
tanned There was no effort to change
the existing closing hours. An import
