the bill to the committee on labor.
The amendment proposed by Sena-
tor Buol prevailed. Voting against
it were Senators Hesson, Thatcher
and Huskey. On the committee on
labor, to which the bill was referred
are Senators Fernald, Chaplin, Lee
MARIE, Harrington and Kenney. On
the committee on mines and mining
are Senators Thatcher, Lemaire and
Kenney. The bill is one to which
there probably will be keen oppo-
sition in the senate, despite the fact
hat it got through the lower house
without a dissenting vote. 1t was
introduced during the session of
1915 and was killed toward the end
of the session after a very stormy
experience. A similar bill was
killed during the session of 1918.
Representatives of various labor
organizations have been in Carson
for the last several days working in
the interest of the measure, which
is said to have the endorsement of
organized labor.
University Investigation
There are persistent rumors COM
ing from what apparently is an au-
thoritative source, that the senate
will amend the assembly joint and
concurrent resolution providing for
the appointment of a bipartisan
committee of three members from
each house to investigate the affairs
of the state university. 1t is said
that the amendment will provide
for four members from the senate,
making a committee of seven. 1t is
contended that this would do away
with the possibility that the commit
tee would be unable to agree upon
a report. The resolution was re-
ferred to the committee on educa-
ton and public morals in the senate
and probably will be reported this
afternoon.

Murphy, damaged knights Of Colum-

room INTO the room below, falling to
the ground floor of the building and
allowing burning SCOT to fall
through the pipe onto the floor. The

stove that was on the ground floor.
The ground floor has not been oc-
cupied for some years and the stove
had been removed and the pipe in
the ceiling sealed with a cap. The

on the floor until midnight, when
the fire spread to the rear wall OF
the building and was discovered.
When the firemen arrived the

ering all testimony taken. published
late in the session.
In the opinion of many persons
conversant with the law applying
to the power of the legislature to
escape from adjourning itself put
of existence yesterday. The law
provides that neither house can re-
tain its Legislative capacity in case
an adjournment for more than three
legislative days is taken. The SEN
ate yesterday afternoon adjourned
till mex Monday morning, which
would be somewhat in excess of the
three intervening legislative days,
Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The
news of the senate's action travelled
rapidly to the assembly and a mo-
ton was made that when the as
sembly adjourned for the day it
should adjourn till Monday. Tan.
that to adjourn for that length of
time would be the same as adjourn
ing sine die and Speaker Luce held
the motion to be out of order. Later
the matter was brought up again
and the motion renewed. The
SPEAKER expressed himself as being
unwilling to reverse his former rul-
ing and Coryell of Elko ended the
discussion by moving to adjourn.
The motion was carried and as a
result the assembly is in session to-
day.
Adjournment Rescinded
The action and discussion in the
assembly aroused the senators and q
quorum was hastily summoned. The
senate was regularly convened and
the previous action in ordering an
adjournment was rescinded and all
reference to it ordered expunged
from the senate journal.
Since Gov. Boyle's declaration
against any bond issue to enable
the state to take advantage of the
provision of the federal good roads
act, his sentiments on the PROPOSE
ton being expressed in his message,
but little talk of good roads legisla-
ton has been heard about the capt.
tai. Practically every member in
both houses is in favor of good
roads legislation but just what
form such legislation will take
IS problematical in view of the gov
ernor's declarations. 1t is generally
believed, however, that a bill call
ing for a bond issue to raise funds
Tor the construction of a state high
way system will be introduced be-
fore the session has progressed
very far.
