 The Senate read twice appropriation bills for the following purposes: For State Land office $9,790, for attorney general contingent fund $11,O0O fer special judges salaries $2,500, for the agricultural school at Jonesboro $35.- 600 (Turner), for the agricultural de- partment of the University for steno- grapher in the Department of Educa- tary to the governor, all of which had been vetoed by the governor.
 In the House, Speaker Milwee ruled out of order House bills that had been introduced for the state and the at torney general, declaring that he did so reluctantly, because he could not see where there was any revenue with which to meet these appropria- tions which the governor had already vetoed. Appeals from the decision of the chair in each case were sus tained, however, the bills read third time and placed passed, to be trans mitted to the Senate this morning As no bill can be read three times in one day, however, they canniot be passed. and all that can be done is for the Senate to pass it's own bills and send them to the House which is likely to be in session at least until Saturday noon.
 There was an interesting diversion during the afternoon session of the House when Martin of Cleburne, in- troduced a bill to tax the cash sur render value of paid up life insur- ance policies Hurst bitterly opposed the bill and objected to it's second reading. He was clam bring for a roll call on second reading, while the speaker was instructing the clerk i to proceed with the reading of the bill. Hurst moved down the aisies among the other perspiring law makers, attempting to gain the at tention of the speaker, and suddenly grabbed the bill from the clerk ] desk, with the execlamation
 "I will tear up the bill if YOU don't listen to me-
 Brown, of Cleveland, grabbed the bill out of his hand, and returned it ;, to the clerk, who read it the second time.

PRESENT SESSION
 NEARING END State Senate Adjourns and Declares It Will Consider No More Business HOUSE IS HELPLESS Passes, Simm Thweatt Measure and kerwin Makes Speech on
 the Situation.
HOUSE IS HELPLESS

Little Rock, June 7.-So far as the Senate is concerned, the extra session of the 38th General Assembly adjourn ed Sine die at noon today. The House did not concur in the resolution for adjournment, but the Senate clinched it's position by the adoption of a res olution by Rodgers, of Howard, and Friedell to the effect that no pills shall be considered after noon Thurs day Two hours work today by the upper house in disposing of some odds and ends wound up it's businesss.
 Kerwin, of Jefferson, struck the key. note of the situation with reference to the revenue bill, when he declared while opposing the passage of the Simms-Thrweatt bill by the House:
 "The Senate has put it up square ly to you. By their resolution to ad- journ at noon Thursday, they an nounce that they will consider 10 more bushes Pass the Simms- Thweatt bill and the Senate will 6o nothing with it. If you want a revenue bill, you will have to pass the Tur- ner-Jacobson bill, from which the emergency clause has been stricken I am for that bin but I am opposed to the Simms Thrweatt bill, becarlse you have refused ito strike out the emergency clause, thereby denying the people the right to express their opinion of it ,
 The Simms- -Thweatt bill passed the House by vote of 50 to 27, and was at once transmitted to the Senate, where an intellectual attempt was made to call it up. Had the Sen ate read the bill twice it would have been possible to pass it tomorrow be- fore the noon hour, but by refusing to take it up the Senate went on re- cord as opposed to it.
 The chief difference between the two revenue bills, aside from the emergency clause, is that the Turner Jacobson bill takes from the school fund $22S,000 for the two years and the other bill but half that amount throueh the difference in the rate of taxation.
 /. Another one of the objects of the governors cell was accomplished i when the Senate passed by vote oi 16 to ii the Pipkin enabling act vital izing and making effective the provis- iors of the Initiative and Referendum amendment to the constitution. The hill which now goes to the gover l ol for his signature provides that five per cent of the legal voters of the state may order referendum upor any measure adopted by the Leeis h'ture, and five per cent of the legal voters of any county, city or towr may order the referendum upon any law pertaining alone to such poll ticsl division. Eight per cent of tht legal voters of the state may gro pose an amendment to the conStitu
 tion, and eight per cent of the vot
 CTS of any county or city propose an, measure not Inconsistent with tht

My Irish Home.

The grass is green in my Irish home,
And the primrose blooms today;
The wild rose grows on the Abbey
In my home across the spray.
The skies are blue and the village
square .... 49, ID. ...- -.
Looks green and fair and bright;
The convent bells ring sweet and clear
In the mondays golden light.
The sheep they Craze on the yonder
hills,
And the homeward school boys sing;
They romp along the dusty way,
And the robins. voices ring,
The daisy blooms in the fair broad
fields,
And the ivy decks the way;
The anvil rings in the village forge
In my Irish home today.
The woodbine on the village church,
The silver moons sweet glow,
In the village Of my childhood,
In the long, long years ago,
And the waters of the purling spring
In the field just DER the way,
remember with a sweetness, as
1t were but yesterday.
