NOTES OF SENATE.
Debate This Morning Fails to
Set Adjournment Date.
Mortgages Must Be Registered
in Kansas.

The senate this morning still show
ed signs of the mock session staged
last night by the newspaper men. Sen
ator Kinds arose on vote and asked
to be informed as to the vote of the
senator from Atchison, his seatmate.
In information that he favored mo-
ton, he stated that he favored it also.
When Senator I4ambertson objected TO
q bill the rest of the senate laughed
him down and President ingalls, found
il necessary to admonish the body that
it was not a mock procedure. Senator
Troutman was interrupted during a
talk and asked by Senator Carney II
he desired to introduce his anti-divorce
measure. Howe and Milton were alb
sent on roll call.
The senate failed this morning to
agree on a date for the final considera-
ton of bills and adjournment. reso-
luton by Stavely named Wednesday
noon, March 5, as the last day for the
consideration of senate bills and Sat
urday, March s, as the last day for
the consideration of all bills with the
final adjournment Thursday, March Is.
Considerable objection was raised to
this resolution by members of the body
who desired to postpone the work a
few days longer that the calendar might
be cleared. Finally the senate agreed
on q motion by Troutman of Shawnee,
who made the adjournment debate a
special for Monday afternoon.
From the expression of the senate
this morning it appears that the 1913
session will run at least one week over
the date which will end the 50-day
period-March 4.
Senator LambertSon, of Brown coun-
~, took occasion this morning to rap
the action of the ways and means
committee and the governor in predict
ing appropriations for the next two
years when the senate or house as a
whole had not been informed of the
committees action.
I'VE haven't considered a single ap-
preparation bill of Importance on this
floor he said. ct don't like this sort
of thing. I don't think the ways and
means committee should have absolute
authority to decide the seven or eight
million dollar appropriations in this
state for the next two years. 1 think
we should have these appropriations
before u.s.
will be brought from their hiding place
II q senate bill passed today is ap-
proved by the house. The Waggener
measure providing for the listing of all
mortgages in this state was barely
passed today after a long debate be-
tween the Republicans and the Demo-
Gratis. Under the regulations of the
bill Il person will not be allowed I'M
der the law to collect on a mortgage
unless it is registered.
Furthermore il will be a complete de-
Tense to the foreclosure of any mortgage
that has not been listed in the county
where the owner resides.
The Wagsener measure gives persons
in this state six months in which to
relieve the vaults, safes and family de-
rosits and place the mortgages in regis |
tration.
Senator Waggener stated this morn |
ing that he was positive that the bill |
II passed would place $50, 900 600 on the |
tax rolls. He says he is unable to esti- |
mate the amount of taxes that would |
be brought into the county treasures. |
The enemies of the bill based their
fight on the claim that the foreign !
money lenders would be favored and |
that the borrowers and lenders in this |
state would be embarrassed

Carney, Davis, Gray, Kinds. Huffman, !

ings-3. |
A typographical mistake in the State !
Journal last evening dropped a line |
from the article concerning Senator |
Stillings and his penitentiary island /
bill and left the sentence reading as |
though the Leavenworth member was |
an inmate of the penitentiary. In the |
state fair roll call the name of Bale |
Waggener was left from the For |
Hutchinson" column and Wilson, of |
Washington, once more, was accused
of voting for the Salt City instead of /
Topeka Senator Wilson voted for To- /
Ioeka as has been his custom in this |
state fair fight.
