 Dispose of Highway Board Bill
 The senate yesterday finally dis i posed of the bill for the creation of state highway board and commission and it will probably come to the house today, when the latter will be prepared to take up house bill 23, which has been on the calendar for the last month,
 deferred from day to day, always re- taining it's place on the calendar. Other bills passed in the course of
 the day were: Providing for county
 scholarships in the state university;
 providing for the examination of wit
 neSses in preliminary examinations; the house minimum marriage age bill;
 limiting the fees of attorneys in suits
 for damages in personal injury cases and the bill authorizing school trus
 tees to provide homes for teachers. Somewhat contrary to expectation, the senate passed house bill No. 15
 comforting upon Arizona the Cochise
 anthem. That was accomplished by a vote of F to 6. What the Fedora
