Both Branches on Inspection
Trip Return for Last Half
of Session Today.
SPECIAL BUSINESS
CALLED UP FRIDAY
Citrus Canker and Other
Important Appropriations
Considered This Week.
Tallahassee Bureau,
The Pensacola Journal.

Tallahassee, April 29-Both the
branches of the legislature left this
morning for the state insane asylum
at Chattahoochee, for the purpose OF
investigating the farm, and spent the
day there as guests of superintendent
Trammell. On this account the cap
ital is quiet, and resting for the last
half of the legislature grind which
begins when both houses convene to-
morrow afternoon at four o'clock.
With the close of the first month
of the sixty day session the legisla-
ture settles down to business, and
really important legislation will
probably occupy the attention of the
lawmakers from now until adjourn
ment. Under the rulee in the senate
all bills carrying large appropria-
tons were held up until May first,
and have been made special orders
for Friday, May fourth.
Citrus Canker.
Among such bills is the Citrus Can
ker appropriation of 100000 which
passed the House Friday, but whose
reception in the Senate is uncertain.
Road measures also come under this
head, and it is expected that much
of the Eme of the Senate will be given
to these two propositions.
Everglades.
Drainage of the Everglades has
also yet to be decided, for the COM
mittee to which the bills have been
referred has not yet reported. Night
ly hearings have been held for the
past two weeks, to allow those inter
ested in the matter to present their
views to the committee.
The bill under consideration is that
by DIR. Hughlette, in the senate, which
provides for commission, to handle
the matter. This has many support
ers, and also many opponents, and
if it is reported favorably it will
probably be with amendments.
Naval Stores Bill
| As the time approaches for the
consideration of House bill No. s.
known as the Anderson Naval Stores
! Bill, it becomes more evident that il
will pass. The bill has been made a
special order for Tuesday, and as the
| members investigate the measure, its
| merits demand for its passage, and
friends are won, and while some OPP
position is expected, its passage is
pedicted.
The measure, which is generally
| known as the Anderson bill, requires
that the spirits of turpentine and
rosin must be inspected in ten days
instead of within twenty, as the
present law provides.
This time provision, it is shown, i:
more equitable and just to the oper-
ator because of the possibility of {
complete revolution in market price.
| in a period as long as twenty days
| Operators contend that ten days i
enough. The bill also provides tina
the operator may sell his goods eithe
within or out of the state.
Some have confused the Anderson
bill with the act to abolish the offic
of Naval Stores Inspector. This i
does not seek to do, and it is expecte
that the governor will sign it withou
hesitation, for it is understood t
have the support of all the operator
and factors doing business in tn
estate.

the German submarine which shelled
and sank the American steamship AL
gonquiH without warning in British
waters on March IL refused to let the
freight ship go down with the Stars

port on the Cunard liner Oduna from

blem before they accomplished their
work of destruction.
