While the house defeated the anti
Sunday baseball bill and It was gem
orally supposed that the measure
was dead for at least another two
years. the indications are that 1t is
going to be fought all over again
during this session Of the legislature.
At least, the house will have a
chance to fight over 1t again and
the chances are that the fight will
be more stubborn than 1t was before
because of the nature Of the bill
to be considered. d. J. Fair, OF
Rice county, will introduce some
time this week local-option base
ball bill. 1t will give the people Of
the different counties of the state q |
chance to determine by their own
votes whether or not they shall have
Sunday baseball. Mr.. Fair ia now
preparing the bill and it will be in
troduced In few days. II 1t goes
to the same committee that handled
the Sunday baseball bill 1t will be
reported out favorably and there
will be another big fight on the floor
of the house.
II bill introduced in the house
by Representative Wray Of Norton
county, becomes a law Kansas will
be even dryer than she is at present.
The bill absolutely prohibits the de-
livery of intoxicating liquor in the
state of Kansas, whether by dray,
express or otherwise. 1t makes 1t a
crime punishable by a fine of not
less than 500 nor more than $500
for each offense.
The Republicans of the house
stood together yesterday afternoon
for the first time during the session.
They stood practically solid against
the bill introduced by Herr of Bar
Der county, prohibiting intermar-
riages between whites and blacks. 1t
was Democratic piece Of legisla-
lion and more or less politics was
Injected into the discussion. The
held that there was no
need for such law; that there was
no abuse OF that social law In Kansas
1T the present time.

After an all night fight in COM
nittee of the whole, the senate or
Tered the Myers resolution providing
or the initiative and referendum on
/ third reading, subject to amend and
lebate. But 1t is resolution now,
rs amended by the senate during the
light, that Senator Myers can hardly
as his own. And inciden-
ally 1t is so loaded up with amend
ments that 1t is very doubtful If
he friends of the administration can
muster more than twenty-four votes
Tor 1t, including the five Democrats.
The senate yesterday declared an
and passed bill provid-
ing that burglary or attempted bur-
ylary OF any bank or other building,

The result OF the frequent robberies
IN the state.

The house recommended for pas
sage the seed grain bill providing
for the distribution Of seed grain
from the State Agricultural College
to the farmers Of the state at a price
not to exceed thirty per cent over
the prevailing market price. There

measure and at one time a motion
TO strike out the enacting clause
came near carrying. but the sixty
farmers In the body rallied and forced
II throuoh.
