St. Paul, April 23-Neither the
Minnette or Nolan bills secured the
necessary two4thirds votes in the SEN
ate last night to pass over the COVER
nor's veto and as it is too late to
get a general public utility bill
through special session of the legis-
lature is now in prospect.
The failure of the Minnette and
Nolan bills in the senate is a victory
for the governor as both bills were
passed over his veto by the house.
Since the passage by the house, the
governor, E. E. Smith and George
Author have been busy with the
senators lobbying against the bills
so that they would not go through.
Speaker Rines held the bills in the
house until yesterday morning in
order to give the house organization
time to line up the senate against
the bills. AS soon as the bills had
gone to the senate, Senator Rockne
was granted. Three senators were
found to be absent. The call was
continued until the absentees were
brought in and the vote was then
taken. On both bills, the vote was
less than the required tWo-thirds
Three Big Bills Passed.
Three bills of statewide impor-
lance were passed by the senate un-

patients at state hospitals or asy-
lumns, when they are able to pay, or
from parents or children of patients,
where they are able to bear the ex-

ry it's risks on state buildings.
TIL third measure requires the
state railroad and warehouse COM
mission to send out cards giving the
closing market prices on grains at
terminal points to all who will pay
for the service.
With the big measures out of the
way, the house had before it a day
Of fighting over temperance measur-
es. A number of them were on the
calendar and notices of motions to
make special orders of them, the only
way they could be reached had been
made.
A. c.. Johnson at 11:15 moved to
make special order at 1880 of his
bill limiting the number of saloons
to one for each 500 people but his
otion was voted down so to so. Rep
resentative Finke secured special
order by a vote of sc to 38 on the

immortality by making general repu-
tation evidence against building
claimed to be used for immoral pur-
poses and permitting the court to
