 Montgomery, January 22.-(Specialo l With the exception of brief debate Oh the question of taking Senator Lusk' s | bill for the abolition of the game and
 fish department from the adverse calendar
 and placing it on the regular calendar,
 the morning session in the senate was featureless. All the interest of the open- | ing session of the two houses centered | in the house of representatives, where spirited fight was held on the adoption of Governor Henderson's amendment to the Merritt prohibition oils l Senator Lusk, as he had previously an- nounced, made a motion shortly after the senate convened to take from the adverse l calendar his bill to abolish the game and I fish department, and warmly championed | sucE action on the part of the senate. However, sentiment was sufficiently strong for the retention of the depart ment to defeat the motion by a two- I thirds vote. Senators Ellis, Kline, Lewis, Denson and others opposed the motion. In making his fight to place the bill on
 the regular calendar, Senator Lusk ap
 
 local optionists.
 'T appeal to you Henderson men and local optionists.' he said. I'm Hendera son man now. If we can't join hands on the liquor question, let's get together and join hands against the state game | warden"
 The appeal was in vain, the senate vot- Ing down his motion by a vote of 21 to 10. Lewis Resolution Up Senator Lewis of Macon made an un- successful attempt to force the immediate adoption of resolution requiring mem- bers of the senate to register within 4S hours their connection, if any, with cor porations
 A resolution of like import, though ap- plying to both branches of the legislature, was introduced by Senator Lewis when the legislature first convened and was immediately adopted by the senate. It was sent to the house, but no action has yet been taken by that body. The substi- tute resolution, introduced today, was re- ferred to the committee on rules.
 Senator Lusk introduced a resolution calling upon the governor to furnish list of all pardons and paroles that were is sued during the past four years. The resolution was opposed by Senator Lewis on the ground that the former gov ernor, before retiring from office had fur nished the legislature a complete state ment on that subject, containing all the information asked for in the Lusk reso- lution. Opposition was unsuccessful and the resolution went to the committee on rules.
 Many Bills Introduced Thirty-four bills were introduced at the ! morning session of the senate Senator Kline of Calhoun presented a number of l bills to regulate the manufacture of fer | tilizer and cotton seed meal | Another bill by Senator Kline seeks to provide lien in favor of laborers and employees, and to regulate the enforce | ment and collection of such lien.. bill by Senator Lusk seeks to regu- | late and prescribe the cases in which de- auctions shall be made from the salaries l of public officers and clerks in public off, 1 fees for neglect of duty.
