First Bill Is Passed.
The first bill called up by Chairman
Johnson was Senate 1851. providing
punishment for the larceny of public
property from the workhouse and pub
lie reformatory of the District of Co
lumbia. Mr.. Johnson explained that
the states of Alabama, Kansas, Ten
nessee. Montana. New York. Missouri
and Michigan now had on their
statute books laws similar to the one
proposed, and urged that the measure
be passed. In reporting the bill, the
House District committee struck out
all of the measure as 1T passed the
Senate and inserted the following new
section as the House bill:
ANY person who by the commission
outside of the District of Columbia of
any act which. If committed within
the District of Columbia, would be Il
criminal offense against the laws of
said District. thereby obtains any prop
erty or other thing of value and Is
afterward found with any such prop
erty or other such thing of value in
his possession in said District, or who
brings any such property or other such
thing OF value in the District, shall
upon conviction. be punished in the
same manner as if said act had. been
committed wholly within the District -
After the purpose of tue measure had
been thoroughly explained by Mr.. John
son the bill was passed without objection
The District chairman then called up
House bill S61y to amend the act regulat-
ing the practice of pharm and the
sale of poison in the District, so as to
enable dentists to purchase their sup
plies directly from the manufacturers and
wholesalers instead of through the phar-
macists. The bill amends the prohibitio
relating to the sale of poisOns by the
following:
That the above provision shall not ap-
ply TO sales at wholesale by jObbers.
manufacturers, dental supply houses and
druggists TO retail druggists, hos
pitfalls, colleges scientific or public insti-
tutions and dentists in the actual practice
of their profession" The bill was passed
without objection
