The report of the house peniten- uary committee, which was not as sensational as some seemed to have expected, was received, accompanied oy about 400 pages of testimony. No criticism of anyone in authority is nade' but reports state that the work oi managing the penitentiary is too efeat to be done properly by the pres eht board, all members of which are pardened with other duties and have nut the time to devote to penitentiary matters that they should.

A STORM BRINGS
 DEATH AND RUIN
FIFTEEN KILLED NEAR NEWPORT NEWS, IN PHILADELPHIA,
 IN NEW YORK
Lightning, Wind, Rain and Hail Strike Many Eastern Cities and Cause
 Great Damage.

Newport News.-Sweeping out of the Southwest with cyclonic velocity. a wind, rain, hail and electrical storm struck the lower end of the Virginia peninsula and left trail of death and ruin. It is difficult to even esti- mate the number of dead, for many small craft went down in the storm at various points along the James river and in Hampton Roads. Con- servative estimates, however, place the dead at not less than 15. Mons of the bodies has been recovered and nothing is known here of the identity of the missing, as most of them were fishermen from distant counties along the James.
 Great havoc was wrought in this city, houses being unroofed and trees, wires and telegraph poles blown down. Half dozen vessels moored at piers here broke away and nearly all were damaged. Rough estimates place the property loss and damage at upward os s100,0O0.
 Philadelphia Also Visited.

AMONG THE
 LAWMAKERS
By J. \. HAND.

LeqisIature Has Adjourned Sine Die.
 Al noon Saturday, June 10, the Ark ansas legislature stood adjourned sine die. The resolution passed in the house with only five dissenting votes. The senate had previously passed a resolution te adjourn on the Sth, and the house resolution was readily con- cured in. The resolution to adjourn was offered in the house by Repre- sentative Baker of Independence
 Another resolution adopted by the house was one sent over from the senate retaining a number of house and senate officers and clerks for q period Of 2s days after adjournment to clear up the work left over after the extra session. The house amend ed the senate resolution so as to in- clude the house expressing clerk.
 Senate Says, Let's Go Home"
 The senate took another lead in favor of final adjournment when it passed, by vote Of 19 to 8, a resolu- non by Rodgers of Howard to adjourn sine die Thursday at noon, June &. h order 10 clinch that resolution. the following one, offered by Senators FrieGell and Rodgers of Howard, was passed by the close vote of 15 to IA, after a heated discussion:
 Whereas, It is believed that ths interests Of the people of the state demaI Il an early adjournment of the extra session of the Thirty-eighth General Assembly: and,
 Whereas, It is believed that all tho elective work of the session can be finished by noon tomorrow; there fcre. be it
 Resolved by the senate, That no bills be considered or passed at the extra session after noon Thursday, June s, 1911, and that a copy of these resolutions be furnished the house"
 Both motions were vigorously op- posed by Senators CarlLee and Green, who made speeches against them, while Senators Covington, Hughes and Holland advocated it's passage.
 Enabling Act Passes Both Houses.
 What is known as the enabling act, providing for the carrying into effect of the initiative and referendum, passed the senate by vote of IS to lo, after having passed the house a few days previously. The bill is quite lengthy and was strongly debated in both houses. The two main features against which objection was raised were stipulation that the initiative anG referendum shall not be invoked on questions of local option, and another making it felony for one person to sign the name of another 10 petition. Senators Jacobson and Martin declared that under this pro. vision all who cannot write their own name are barred from their rights under the initiative and referendum.
