at the measure and increased the tan

Iof all committees having measures un-
der consideration to get such bills into
the hands OF the speaker as soon as pos
sibie.

mttee on Senate bill 100, relating to
lchangng the death penalty from hang
ing to electrocution has been accepted.
| The only difference of opinion between
! the two branches was regarding the
amount the state should pay for an cleo
| trocution outfit. The Senate thought

the smaller amount.
