CONTROL BILL GETS
 KNOCKOUT PUNCH

Phoenix, May 6.-In the house, the
 Sims senate bill, better known as the
 doctors bill, came up in committee of
 the whole, with MT. Jacobson in the chair.
 Toward the close of the reading of
 the bill MT. Kerr, of Yuma, moved that the amendment inserted in the senate, which permits the unrestrict- ed practice of Christian Science, be stricken from the bill. Mr. Rabbit, of Maricopa, seconded the motion and stated that the purpose of the senate amendment was not to permit the practice of Christian Science, but to make it possible for Christian Science practitioners to go into court and con- pei the payment of fees.
 Nothing in the bill permits the practice of Christian Science, but the amendment which was inserted in tn senate makes possible the use of the law in the collection of fees and to this 1 am oposed," said MT. Babbitt
 MT. Kerr stated that under the pres ent law a man to practice medicine must give almost his entire life to the study, and in addition pass an exam ination before a qualified board of physicians.
 we place these safeguards around the practice of medicine, yet we now throw down the bars to faith curers without restrictions of any kind and open wide the doors to every quack and faker in the country. All that is | necessary under the provisions of the senate is for some faker to come into Arizona, profess that he or she is an exponent of some religious belief, and tho doors are opened wide,' said MT. Kerr.
 Many members of the house spoke either for or against the proposition. When the noon hour arrived without the body having reached any con- clusion, Mr. Cooke, of Maricopa, nov ed that the committee arise and ask leave to sit again this afternoon for further consideration of the bill. His l motion prevailed and after Chairman Jacobson of the committee had re- ported, the house stood at recess un- til o'clock this afternoon. At that time the doctors bill will again bel taken up and the Christian Science discussion renewed.
 In the Senate
 There will be no new board of con- trol scheme adopted by this session of the legislature. Governor Hunts friends in the senate, this morning, voted to indefinitely postpone the new Craig Board of Control bill, the only friends of the bill being the four re- publican members, and Lovin, of Mo have county. And as to Lovin, it may be said he is anxious to pass Mohave county bond bill which is now before the house. There was little debate on the board of control bill, the vote coming up over adoption of the report from the accounting and public meth ods committee which was to the eff poned. By the adoption of the report the bill was killed. There had been a minority report signed by Brown of Pinal county, that the bill do pass, but it had little consideration other than being read. After the vote had been taken there was a sigh of relief from all parts of the senate chamber which seemed to say, Thank good ness, that is over with"
 Just what view the house members will take of the senate's action is hard to determine. There is talk in the lobby that several of the pet meas ures of the prominent members of the senate will be killed by way of retalia- tion, but the future holds the secret 1 and what the outcome will be is very doubtful.
