MANY MEASURES
ARE AMENDED ON
THIRD READING
Numerous Bills Acted Upon
This Morning In
Various Way j
VERY LITTLE DISCUSSION
AND GOOD DEAL OF WORK
House Extends Time For In
PRODUCTION Of New Bills to
Wednesday

II was an unusually quiet morning in
the senate, the day commencing with q
brief prayer by Sergeant at Arms Col
Mercer, and from that time it was pure
business. One thing noticeable, and a
remarkably bad feature of legislative
work, too, was the amendment OF many
bills that were up for third reading, ON
the floor. Practically every bill passed
this morning, and there were eight of
them, amended without recommitment.
Shortly before adjournment the presi-
dent called Senator Vinton to the chair,
and during debate on the passage of
senate bill No. s, there was a pretty
tangle as to parliamentary procedure
1t came when after much time had been
taken up in trying to amend the bill
on the floor a motion was made that it
be preferred to the committee with in
struetions to strike out the emergency
clause. Then several changes, alterations
and amendments were proposed and fin
ally a point of order was made, and
sustained by the chair, that the sem
atofs were out of order, not talking in
relation to the motion. 0rton disagreed
with the ruling and so did Garland and
one motion followed another until there
was a medley of half dozen Of them.
Right in the midst of it someone moved
to adjourn, and the president pro tenn
declared with considerable emphasis
that the senate stood adjourned. When
President Moser gets back on the job
this afternoon he will have a nice little
tanple to work out There was coDsid-
erable hilarity as the adjournment was
announced and it was evident some of
the senators had been batting" the
presiding officer,
Outside of this little digression il was
a busy session.
Senate bills Nos. 80, Al, 49, 64, having
been passed by the house were signed,
by the president of the senate and ON
the signature of the governor win be-
come laws.

hour law for women, was indefinitely

ported back favorably.
