 State e- Other Bills Passed
By BERRYMAN G. BETTY

Montgomery, March 1.-(Special)-S ty- -four members answered to their names when Speaker Almon called the house to order at 30 o'clock today. The morn- ing session was devoid of any particular interest, the chief business being the introduction and passage of bills.
 The house today for the first time since the present session began made an ex- ception to the rule prohibiting all per sons other than members of the legis- lature from the privileges of the floor. Shortly after the house convened MT. Fitts of Dallas moved that the privileges of the floor be extended Judge T. W. Coleman of Eutaw.
 Under the rule, to extend the privi- leges oA the floor to anyone requires unanimous consent. Heretofore there has always been opposition when the ques- ton has been raised. Mir. Pitts motion, however, prevailed as easily as if the suspension of the rule was daily oc- currence, and Judge Coleman was ad- mitted on the floor of the house.
 Burt0n's Resolution
 Mir Burton of Chambers introduced in the house this morning a resolution call. ing upon the ways and means committee to report the much mooted revenue bill, in order that "the fears of the business interests of the state" might be allayed. The resolution went to the committee on rules.
 Sherrod's Bill
 The house this morning by a vote of GA to passed Senator Sherrod's "com- mercial feeding stuffs' bill. This bill was called up last week, but at that time none of the house members were suffi- ciently familiar with the provisions of the bill to explain it. so the further consideration of the measure was post poned until today.
 MT Rice of Tuscaloosa called up the bill and explained it's provisions. He stated that the bill was intended to pre- vent the distribution of injurious feed stuffs in the state, and that 1t gave authority to the commissioner of agri- culture and industries to enforce the provisions of the act. Messrs. Lane of Lawrence and Thomas of Chambers spoke for the bill. each pointing out what they conceived to be wise provisions in the measure, after which the bill was passed.
 Other Bills Passed
 By Mr. Brindley: To repeal section 24O9 of the code of Alabama. The bill requires the auditors office to furnish to solicitors semi-annual reports. Vote. 51 to 1.
 By Mir. Arnold: To authorize the refor- nation of deeds. mortgages and other conveyances of land. containing an erro- neous description at the suit of any per- son claiming title directly or remotely from the grantee in such deed, mortgage or other conveyance. Vote, Il to 1.
