By BERRYMAN G. BETTY | Montgobery, March 1.-(Special. )-Intro- duction of nine new bills, none of especial
 interest, and the passage of three meas ures of no general importance, utilized 50 minutes of the senate's time today. As sembling at noon after a recess since last ! Friday, the solops dragged along for 90 l minutes, after which a recess was taken 1 for luncheon, thereby ending the first session of the day
 1 Two measures which were special orders | for the day, Senator Sprott's jury commits | sion bill and Senator Kilby's measure to fix the maximum amount of license, etc., to be imposed on domestic fire insurance companies, were not called from the cal cndar but were continued until tomor- row. The bills that were passed were called at random, making the session to- tally uneventful. The fact of an 1S-page calendar, the heaviest yet reached, was given scant consideration.
 Session in Detail Senate was called to order promptly at noon with President Walter D. Seed in the chair and 26 senators in their seats. The body was led in prayer by the Rev s. R. Emerson, state convict chaplain. Reading of the journal was dispensed with.
