 Wednesdays Session..
 PHOENIX, May That the senate and house will lock horns over the pardon and reprieve clause of the penal code was indicated today when the senate, by vote of 10 to S. voted to strike from the bill the Kel- ton amendment which curtailed the rights of the governor in matters of pardOns and reprieves and caused him to veto the bill at the close of the last session.
 Hunt has said that should the legis- lature see fit to again include sim liar provision in the penal code, he would again repeat his veto and con- sequently Chase, Davis, Heichtman, Hughes, Kinney, Wood of Yavapai, Roberts. Wessell, Wood of Maricopa and Cundiff voted to strike from the bill the disturbing provision

 A bill providing for the sale of lands for payment of county railroad bonds passed and was returned to the senate and the amendment to the miners alien law and mothers pension bills were killed. The general appro- priation bill was also passed.
 The contest of the day in the house came when the abatement law was up. The red light district amendment making the creation of such districts upon larger cities of the state, was adopted over the protest of Irvine of Maricopa county, who fought it's advancement, alleging it was bill to encourage and promote white slave traffic. Conditions in Los Angeles recently uncovered got into the discussion as well as the situation in various Arizona towns. The senate has once voted against the red light amendment so this bill too must go to conference if finally passed by the house.
