All the ''Dope" Upset
By Action Of Senate
BY THoS. ID MAYS

Especial Dispatch to The Intclligcncer.)
CHARLESTON. W. Va. March 81
Today's action of the senate completely
upset the dope Of those who have
been following tho police and gas tax
bills. general opinion being that
chances 70 the two propositions were
exceedingly slim. The fight on the two
measures was the prettiest seen in
either houser during the regular
special session The fight for rejection
Of the substitute for the police meas
ure was led by Senator Elmer Hough.
chairman of the special joint COMMITTEES
appointed to draft the bill
The substitute proposition was de-
fcated 10y vote. Of 16 to IL and this
placed the measure upon amendment
stage for further consideration tomor-
row Just what tho developments will
be is a question in the minds OF the
legislators as none of them approach
ed on the subject were willing to cX-
press an opinion or forecast what the
outcome would be, although the general
impression seems 70 be that either the
state police or oil and gas tax measure
will pass.
AS to when adjournment would be
reached by the special session mas
been a question for tho past week or
moro. but It is now believed that action
Of the senate tomorrow on the two
propositions featuring the session to-
day will have considerable bearing as
to the length OF time 1t will require
to finish up the business pending before
tho two houses. 1t is the belief or
some that adjournment may be reached
by Saturday. but. as indicated. this de-
pends entirely upon the direction the
wind blows In the senate tomorrow
afternoon
