Upper House of Legislature Receives Strict Orders from Chief Executive and Obeys Without Cues tion.
CRAIG BILL IS
 GIVEN QUIETUS
House Measure Has Been Turned Down and Hunt Is Left in Supreme Con trol of All the States Institutions.

Though the passage of the Craig board of control bill through the house justified the belief that that branch of the legislature was q bit doubtful of trusting the governor with unlimited authority. it was demon strated yesterday that the senate is standing behind him quite soldly and willing to take a chance on anything h" promulgates in the line of policies It killed the Craig bill by a party vote. except that MT Lovin lined up with the republicans. Two other matters of more than ordinary interest occurring yesterday were house events. one was consider ation of the senate medical bill, num- Der 95, and the other was the passage of the new school law. The medical bill came up with a double recOm- r,endation. the majority desiring it's passage. Efforts were made to inject first one and then another amend mont recognizing churches as well as medical colleges in the qualifying of practitioners. All were defeated and then came an unsuccessful ef- fort tO eliminate the amendment made by the senate under which Christian Science was recognized. That was equally as futile but the division in trying to dispose of the measure was q tie vote. Mr. Buchanan being ab- sent on account of illness Efforts were made indefinitely to postpone the bill. then to postpone action un- til today. then to send it to the en- crossing committee which was found irregular in view of the fact it was cngrossed in the senate and there had been no amendment Then it was planned to let it take it's regular or der but Mir. Graham announced that he desired another chance to amend it before he would consent to any final disposition and it was in the end sent to the committee of the whole again for first place on the Wednesday calendar.
 House bill -, the school law came up for final reading and was passed by a unanimous vote though MT CrOfoOt protested that he did not ap- prove of the section segregating the COlOred children. It had been expect cd there would be a fight on that but nothing was done The house had eX- pended it's force in earlier arguments and the bill as it now stands if pass cd will put the schools by themselves. The senate passed seven or eight other bills and the house killed a senate bill by request Among those passed by the senate were the switch light. agricultural and horticultural, board of regents. anti blacklist, head light and some other measures.
 Through the pains of Assistant Clerk CrOnin 2 report was secured yesterday on the status of legislation in the senate Of 164 bills that have been introduced q have been passed, 27 killed and 106 are yet winding their way through the committees, with twelve more days before the eX- piratiOn of the session.
