Montgomery, April 15.-(Special) )-Be- tween 75 and 100 bills are on the gover- nor's desk for his approval or veto with in the next 10 days. While many of these measures are of considerable general inn portance, a large majority of them are focal, having been passed within the last few days
 When the house adjourned Friday night something like 100 bills were left on the calendar Many of these were special orders, having been on the calendar for weeks, and although frantic efforts were made by various members to call some of them up for passage, the house was in little humor for more serious work, and they were all ushered into oblivion when the hour of adjournment came.

 At the governors office there was the usual crowd gathered, many of them be- ing officeseekers, while others were leg islators preparing to make their adieus. Piled high in the ante-room of the gov ernor's office were numerous bills, the efforts of the legislature of the last few days. During the next 10 days the gov ernor, with his legal assistants, will en-
