Senator Heffernan's bill amending
the anti.gambling law by permitting
draw poker and keno TO be played
and to allow a Paris mutual to be
conducted on horse races, when the
percentage does not exceed 2ia per
cent, was taken up on special order
yesterday and passed by vote of
12 to 10. Senator Tannahill moved
to amend by eliminating stud-horse
poker and Senator Bell moved to
amend by making the law prohibit
percentage poker, and the amendment
carried. Senator Heffernan explain
ed the bill by saying it would make
draw poker and Paris mutual legal
Senator Horsey opposed the bill
saying he saw no reason why the
law should be changed by making
gambling more open than it is now
He said he would like to see the
law strengthened instead of being
made more lax, and said he saw nj
reason why poker should be legaliz
ed and other gambling prohibited.
Senator Heffernan spoke in favo
of the measure, claiming poker wa
no more of gambling than solo o
bridge whist. He said that to en-
force the present law would resul
in every county in the state bein

OTHER STATES
SUFFERING FROM
FREAK BILLS
CROP OF FOOLISH AND TIME

In considering for moment the
ways of aspiring Legislators and re-
membering always that they are
paid for their services by the public

yada alone is not the birth place
Of freak legislation.
A New York legislator presents a
bill requiring the state to appoint
public handshaker at a salary of
$4,000 a year, with $4,000 additional
for travelling expenses.
A Minnesota assemblymaR gives his
colleagues a chance to debate wheth-
er it ought not to be made felony
for housewife to steal" the servant
of another.
A Massachusetts assemblyman
thinks the time of his associates
will be well spent in debating wheth
er all proposals of marriage should
not be made in writing.
A Missouri legislator proposes tina
all lobbyists shall appear in uniform
cut after a ridiculous pattern.
These are only a few of the pro
posals made by aspiring legislator
recently In spite of the many pres
sing and thoroughly discussed meas
} ures that might occupy the mind
of our lawmakers, the crop of foo
ish and time-consuming bills seem
} to be as large as ever this winter

Senator Tannahil of Storey has
introduced a resolution in the upper
house Of the legislature giving public
recognition to the work of the late
Adolph Sutro, who years ago con-
structed the famous Sutro tunnel at

ledge; therefore, be it
Resolved by the senate, the assem-
bly, concurring, that the true merits
of this stupendous undertaking, which
added millions to the wealth of this
coast, and has been everywhere rec
ognized as one Of the great engi-
neerng feats of the century, should
be recognized and acknowledged Off
cially by the people of this state.
Carried on as 1t was in the face
of the most determined opposition,
hampered by natural and financial
difficulties. the subject Of malignant
and unjust attack, the final triumph
of the undertaking which enabled
the Comstock to be worked at an
additional depth Of 1900 feet, demon
strated that Adolph Sutro was
man of extraordinary genius and abil-
ity, and one of whom the citizens
of Nevada should feel justly proud;
be it further
Resolved, That the thanks of the
Ipeople of the state be rendered
through its senate and assembly TO
the late Adolph Sutro for the emf
nent services to the commonwealth.
as deserved, though tardy tribute
to his memory; be it further
Resolved, That these resolutions
be spread upon the minutes of both
houses and engrossed copies sent to
his surviving heirs.
