SENATE DOES
 POSTLUDE ACT
Solons Get So Greatly In terested in Legislative Work They Forget to Ad- iourn Till After Dinner Time.

Yesterday was the busiest day at the capitol since the legislative sts- sion began. No bills were passed but a great many were recommended for passage in both houses. some recon mended for the death penalty, lot of them moved up toward the finish line and the barbers' Sunday closing law died in an effort to cross under the wire.
 The conference committee on the recall of judges. appointed week or su ago. was run to earth and with q little probing was impeled to bring in a report which both houses adopted and it is confidently predicted by en- thusiastic democrats that the bin will be passed this session.
 There were many new bills intro duced in each house. The members seem to realize that any measure that luns through the natural order of things. to pass must get into the run ming very soon. The senate has agreed to take no more new bills aft CT today. except by two thirds vote. \ similar rule failed in the house but the natural order of things will pre- cIude the introduction of many more bills
 Among tine new bills are several of special interest. Mir Jones. at the request of the anti-saloon league. in troduced a bill providing for the re peal of the present segregation law and making local option districts con- form to county lines; that is the county must go either wet or dry. Several other bills possess more than ordinary interest and reference 10 the list below will be worth while.
 Congressmen Hensley Hanna and Galloway were visitors in the house during the morning session and all made addresses. Aside from the busy grind in the legislature the corpora : ton commission had q field day, en- tcrtaining distinguished counsel rep rescnting all the railroads doing busi- ness in Arizona who had gathered responsive to a citation.
 The house held long session and the senate the longest of its career thus far It did not adjourn until 6:30 p. m.
