Notifications in Senate.

The House bill gave the Juvenile Court
absolute Jurisdiction over any child that
might be brought before it, from the
date of the first instance up to the age
of twenty-one, and also gave the court
the right to bring any child before it of
its own motion.
The House bill also gave the court
jurisdiction over children in all eases
affecting the morals, health and gen.
eral welfare.
The Senate committee was of opin-
ion that general welfare was too
broad a field and struck it out. The
House gave the court Jurisdiction over
the board of children's guardians and
the Judge Of the Juvenile Court would
make the appointments. In the SEN
ate bill the President is given ap-
pointing power over the board.

Cyclones reputation as a "rip-snort-

every seat was occupied. Uncle Joe Can

might observe at close range the whfri-
wind from Texas. The Texas member
lambasted the Republican party right

occasions"
The Texas orator had been bowling

he paused to exclaim:
