THE HOUSE

Refusing 10 be placed on record,
members OF the House of Delegates
Yesterday voted To permit the intro
duction Of several more local bills,
adding that much more work to the
calendar OF the House. The fight
came on the resolution of Mr.. Mon
tague, asking permission to introduce
q bin making 1t plain that trust COM
panies might under the laws of Vir-
ginia. take advantage OF the Federal
reserve act.
The resolution was opposed by Mr.
Land, who has consistently fought the
tendency to clutter up the calendar OF
the extra session with measures not
Eermane to the purpose for which 1t
was called. Defeated in his opposi-
ton to the passage of the resolution
on division. the Nottoway man called
for the ayes and noes. The call was
not sustained. a bare handful Of dele
gates expressing a willingness to be
placed on record.
Immediately thereafter, Mr.. Robert
son, of Northampton, presented Il
Joint resolution forbidding the intro
duction after today of any measures
not bearing directly on taxation.
Strong opposition on the part Of dele
gates having pet local bills to pre-
sent, supported by friends, forced Mr.
Robertson TO amend his bill, changing
the date of its effectiveness to Janu-
AIRY a. This was adopted.
Mr.. lands Position.
Although Mr.. Chalkfey. of Wise.
deprecated the criticism of the mem
bers for opening wide the toedgates
to local legislation as newspaper
talk" and declared that these local
measures took up but little time Of
the General Assembly, it was pointed
out by Mr.. Land last night that one
hour and a half of yesterdays two
hours and a half session was con-
sumed by consideration of locai
measures and that some portion OF
nearly every day this week has beer
spent In the same way. Moreover. h
called attention to the fact that al
in committee have not been reported
/ that all on the calendar have not beer
disposed Of. and that there are still
more TO come.
| Considers License Bill.
The House convened at IL o cloci
and, after adopting a number of join
resolutions permitting the introduc
| ton of bills other than those revis
/ ing the tax laws, and a joint resoiu
tion sent over from the Senate inyit
ing former Auditor Donohoe to ad
dress the General Assembly at hi
earliest convenience. the House a
i11:30 resumed consideration of thu
general license bills. A number o
amendments of minor importance
were adopted and the bin was abou
to be ordered to It's engrossment whel

The state Board Of Pharmacy on
yesterday gave out the following state
ment in reference to the cases OF the
druggists who recently pleaded guilty
to unlawfully selling cocaine:
THE board decided to postpone
consideration of the questions as to
whether they would renew the certif-
cate Of registration OF Mr.. Roland H.
Childrey and Mr.. Judson Cunningham
and in the meanwhile they will re-
quire both Of these druggists to fur
nish the secretary OF the Board OF
Pharmacy on the first day Of each
month a sworn statement showing all
purchases and sales of all narcotic
drugs, The board has determined to
take every step necessary to protect
the public against the sale of such
