see that a set Of amendments were
fixed uD that would be acceptable to
both branhes Of the legislature. When

ments were %concurred in and the bill
Put on final passage without being
read the third time, but some member
insisted that in order that there be
no possibility of a leak it be read
again and when it had been read Sen
ator Elken raised a question about
the definition Of tobacco as referred
to in the bill and stated that accord.
ing to his opinion the bill passed in
the form then offered would include
chewing tobacco as well as snuff, and
he did not believe that was the inten.
ton OF the author Of the bill. Mr..
Talcott made a motion that the vote
by which the amendments had been
adopted be reconsidered, and that
motion prevailed. Mr.. Hyland then
moved that the senate do not concurr
in the house amendments and that a
conference committee be appointed to
doctor the bill. The president ap-
pointed on the committee Messrs. Hy-
land, diversion and .-lken, but Mr.. Hy-
land asked to be excused from acting
and Mr.. Mudgett was appointed in
his place. 1t Is expected that the bill
will be reported back on Friday for
