entrained for the State Farm. There
were only two matters taken up, the
motion to reconsider the vote by
which the markets bureau bill was re-
jected on Thursday. and the const-
tutional amendment for the enfran-
chising Of women. Both were beat
en-, the woman's suffrage resolution

the public schools thereof a sum not

resolution TO meet at 10 o'clock this
morning and take a vote in the after
noon. Senator Pitcher, Of Fauduier.
interrupted to make a motion to adj
journ, and declared that he had not
had any dinner and that he was
hungry. In his earnest desire to- get
netting to eat he suggested that
the matter of adjournment might be
tested and was about to put the vote
himself when he remembered that the
Senate had presiding officer Sena-
tor STROBE continued his speech, then,
near its close. and the Fauquier sena-
tor strolled on out of the chamber
to get his dinner.
Senator Strobe, resuming his argu-
ment. insisted that to put the ma
chinery for the enforcement of pro-
hibition in the hands of the officer OF
the Anti-Saloon League would put the
league In politics, and that, revert
ing to the matter of committees. said
he understood that before members of
the Steering Committee were named
they had lists of the proposed APP
pointments of the various committees
submitted to them. and they were ap-
pointed on condition that they would
approve the lists.
Senator West promptly and vjgor-
ously denied that this was true, so far
as he was concerned.
Senator Strobe Concludes.
Taking UP the prohibition laws of
other States. Senator Strobe quoted
from the acts OF Tennessee. Kansas
and West Virginia to sustain bis con-
tention that the prohibition laws could
be efficiently administered under the
direction of the Governor and by off,
GERS appointed by him. He insisted
that the other commissioners in charge
of departments in Virginia were not
similar to the office to be created.
Concluding. the Amherst Senator said
he had discharged his duties. II, in
the heat of debate, he had said any
thing calculated TO wound the personal
sensibiiities OF anyone in the Senate
or outside, he was sorry. He felt that
the acts of men might be discussed
and criticized without unfriendliness
TO the men. Y on might hate the sin
and yet love the sinner" He declared
his hand was outstretched to every
man and woman in Virginia who
really wanted effective prohibition.
The Strobe substitute WAS defeated
by the recorded vote of 33 to 8, which
is printed on the first page of this
issue. and the Senate adjourned until
10 o'clock this morning when the
committee amendments TO the Mapp
bin will be further considered.

House he would have voted for the
amendment. it was announced by Mr..
otSpiitiSOil, pdlTeu Will MIN. MI
Stephenson opposed the resolution.
Market Bureau Rejected.
The only other action by the House
was the defeat of the Sproul-B. d.
Adams bill for the establishment of a
State bureau of markets. This failed
of passage because the constitu-
tionai requirement that measures car
rying appropriations must have a ma
jority of the membership of the House
81 votes. The vote was 40 to SO.
The bill came on a reconsideration of
the vote by which the measure was
