COLD STORAGE BILL is
Revived IN THE House

The cCld storage bill one of the ST.
ries drafed by he Commission on Uni.
form Legislation. was taken fron the
judiciary General Committee If the
House last nlglt and passed for "a
first time after lively debate
A motion to discharge the committee
from consideration of the bill was made
by Mr. Baldwin, of Delaware, who cen.
tended that it would correct defects in
the present law since the Governor had
vetoed the repeater of the law of 1913.
W. III. Wilson, chairman of the commit
tee, said that in his opinion the bill
had been so changed in the Senate that
it was unfair.
The committee was discharged by a
vote of SO to sc and objections were
made when first reading was asked on
the bill and the rule governing that or
der of business was suspended. The
bill was put on the second reading cal
eGdar of the. House for to-day.
Efforts to send the Senate bill to
permit women watchers at the polls
this November failed after roll call
was forced. Mr.. Stern, of Philadelphia,
whc made the motion, said that it had
been considered in the Judiciary Gen
eral Committee and should have gone
to the Elections Committee. Advocates
of suffrage who were in the hall ap-
plsrded when the vote was taken show
ing the motion to recommit defeated by
a vote of 81 noes and n ayes.
Election Bills reported
Three Of the series of election law
amendments were reported out in the
House last night by the Elections
Committee. One of the bills prevents
independent nominations by papers; an
other prohibits Withdrawals of candi-
dates after nominations are made, and
third prohibits the pre-emption of
party names after primaries.
Two other election bills reported out
in the House provide that when a can
didate for Judge receives 81 per cent.
of the vote he shall be considered elect
ed, and the other amends the second
class city election law.
The Beidleman bill providing for a
bureau of elevator inspection in the
Department of Labor and Industry is
dead. An effort was made to recon
slider the vote by which it was dropped
from the calendar but the motion fell
by vote of 6S for and 90 against.
The House passed the Republican or
ganization bill which takes first place
on the ballot away from the Democrats
by amending the election law so that
the result of the previous general cleo
ton and not the Presidential election
shall be used in establishing the places
on the ballot. The vote was 12S ayes
and 81 noes The House Democrats op-
posed the bill.
Stock Transfer Bill Passes
The administration stock transfer
bill was passed by the House by vote
of 159 to %, after the members had
sustained Speaker Amber in his ruling
that the bill was not similar to one
defeated several days ago.
