No Investigating tI-sj> Ter the Sa'l- ate With a Single dissenting vote, that of Mir. Campbell. the house con surren- resolution adopted last s turdly providing for the appoint Inent of joint committees to inves- tIgaJe the state institutions and de Eartmerts for the purpose of ascer
 taining their needs for provision in 1he appropriation bill was turned down
 But there was one thing concern ing which the senate and the house were found to be in full accord and that was on House Bill No. 1, pro- Niding for The contingent and other expenses of the extra session and earryIne Se5.0OO. was passed by the senate in unanimous vote It was sent to the governor and late in the afternoon was returned with his ap- prCvaI.
 The defeat of the concurrent re- Sciution having been announced, the house was thrown back upon one of the plans which had already been discussed for the preparation of the appropriation bill. Even before the announcement of its defeat, the mem i-ers of the house. discounting that bit of news. had already engaged in a new discussion of ways and means. Hr- Ch-isty had offered a motion di- Tecting the appropriations committee to bring in bill I6S of the last ses- sion as a basis. That was defeated on a v.ve voce vote. the only voice ip the affirmative being those of AIessrs Christy Graham and Good win. All this took place in the morn iug and the committee retired after an adjournment and began work on the hill. It is understood that the skeleton of the structure is the
 measure prepared by the attorney general, and the figures obtained by Chairman Powers of the committee from the different institutions and departments will be used in the mak- irg up of the items. Reports have been received from all the institu- tions except three or four and they have been promised at an early date.
 An effort will be made in the house this morning to have the com mittee report the various sections tp tEe house as soon as they are ,ompleted. If this procedure is fol- lowed. by the time the entire bill has been prepared by the committee. line house will have reached a con clusion as to all except the later 1 sections.

 The only other incident of the , house deserving of mention was a ! most unusual one, an expression of appreciation by members of the press ! sallery of the prayer of the chap ! lain which was followed by a Ire mendous hand -clapping. Speaker , Brooks remarked that the less the ! gallery was heard from the better ] on all occasions. He especially de- i Irecated such noisy approval Of 1 the efforts of the chaplain.
 The Senate !
 After passing House Bill No. l. ! and defeating house concurrent reso- : iution. No. 1. there was little to do in the senate except to extend con gratulsttiOns to Mir LoVin who had .ust arrlved from MohaVe county. In an intermisSion in the morning some activity in the committee rooms gave rlsc Co a rumor that the senate was about to send memorial to the governor urging land legislation and proposing that the senate be ad- journed sine die and immediately be called together for the purpose of Cnactlng a land bill in addition to
