l definitely postpone being defeated by vote of 67 to 25. The motion had been made by MT. Gray of Independ- ence.
 The house bill by Mir. Brawner to ] fix the fees of officers in Clay coun- ty was passed.
 Notice was given by Senator J. Marion Futrell in the Tuesday morn ing session of the senate that he would on Wednesday morning offer a motion to amend the rules under which the general assembly is work ing, so that the majority may bring up the liquor bills and give them con- sideration. At present it takes two thirds to suspend the rules, and Sen ator Futrell proposes that the senate may return to the rules after this one question has been disposed of. The senate Tuesday morning re- ceived message from Gov. Hays, asking for an immediate investiga- ton of the actions of the board of charities for the past two years. This message was exceptionally peppery for Gov. Hays, who has dealt very leniently with the board of charities situation, but he now indicates that the time for diplomacy has passed.
 The other matter of importance came before the senate Tuesday morning in the Cazort house bill to repeal the state mine run law so far as it applies to Johnson county and one township in Logan. This was under discussion when the senate ad- iourned for the noon recess, with Senator Burgess on the floor arguing in favor of it's passage.
 The morning started tamely, the judiciary committee recommending that the Adamson board of account ancy bill do pass; that the Burgess bill, providing that the attorney gen. eral bring suit against state and county officers indebted to the state, do not pass; that the Hollensworth house bill, permitting mills of Qua chita county to work 10 1-2 hours a day, do not pass; that the Garrett antitrust bill pass as amended, so that 15 of the IT sections were elim- mated and there now only remains enough to prevent corporations elud- ing prosecutions for penalties by dis solving, and that the Duty game bill pass as amended. The labor com mittee reported favorably upon the Toler bill to prevent patients in hos pitals being harassed by agents for corporations who sought to make set clement for injuries received.
 The Judiciary committee intro duced a game bill, with the Duty bill as a base, and patterned closely after the Futrell bill, which was indefinite ly postponed on Monday. This makes the closed season for birds 10 months and limits the number that may be killed a day. License must be paid on hunting dogs and a heavy fee is demanded for fishing for market. The bill was read twice and will be discussed further Thursday morning. The Futrell bill was killed by coun- ties being exempted, but the senators on the judiciary committee have de- clared that they will fight on the floor the exemption of any county from the new bill.
 The Futrell notice that he would make an effort to amend the rules Wednesday, so that the liquor ques- ton could be settled came when he made a motion that all house bills reported be read a first and second time under a suspension of the rules and thus save time. There was ob- jection and the roll was called, the Futrell motion losing If to IS. AS it
 ould have been possible for the ewberry prohibition bill to be read
