GETS SNUB
Senate President Ignores Him
at Dinner.
THE LEGISLATURE BUSY
MAN. Bills Passed and a Large
Number Are Advanced
on Readings.


President Prince no longer considers
Senator Fftzherbert worthy of associa-
ton became known here today when
it was learned that the Senate's head
had failed to invite the Morris mem
Der to the University Club, New York,
where he entertained all the other
members of the upper house.
1t is usual for the Senate President
to issue an informal invitation when
he desires the other members to dine
with him, but on this occasion, Mr..
Prince made the agair formal and elm
mated Fitzherbert's name from the list
of guests.
Such serious cut by the President
OF the body has caused CONSERVATION
among the Democrats here, who know
Prince as stickler for forms as we'll
as substance.
Colonel Beitler was permitted to ad-
dress the Senate today on the prop
osition for Jersey to send all her vet
Grams to the celebration of the fiftieth
anniversary of the Battle of Gettys-
burg.
The discovery that two more bills
had to be withdrawn from the Cover
| nor because of inaccuracies, brought
| forth rebuke to the Senate supervis-
or of bills from President Prince
When the Senate took up the ten
hour labor bill for women, Senator Sill
| ger offered an amendment exempting
frop the operations of the act estab-
lishments manufacturing surgical sup
| plies for the United States Army The
amendment was lost.
| An amendment by Senator Nichols,
exempting canning factories, which
work but a few weeks a year, was
adopted. Another amendment making
the act take effect October l next, in
stead of September l next was adopted.
| Then the whole measure was passed
| finally. 1t provides for ten-hour day
for women, 60 hours week, and not
| more than ten hours in one day ex-
cepting the six days before Christmas
There was some discussion over a
bill introduced by Senator Leavitt, en-
abling any volunteer, acting without
| compensation, to transport any voter
| to or from polling place The bill
| was passed by party vote of II to 8.
