absolutely certain of passage is the
$4,000 appropriation for expenses of
this session which must be approved
by the house. >'
The emergency session promises to
go on record with nearly 100 new
laws. Most of them are of the type
mentioned in the call increasing sal
aries and maintenance a%ppropria-
tons in state departments and insti-
tutions to meet the cost of living, per-
hitting increased levies for cities and
school districts and more liberal in
terest rates that they may sell securi-
ties for work already voted.
The road code has been corrected
and simplified and blue sky laws
strengthened to give the securities
commission more authority in dealing
with wildcat" stock sales.
Laws were enacted to meet such
emergencies as occurred in many
counties of the state when roads and
bridges were Washed out by floods
when to wait for usual red tape in re-
pairs would be a hardship.
Straighten Out Code Sections.
Conflicting or vague sections Of the
new code adopted last session were
Strengthened out Probably half the
laws arose from expediency rather
than emergency. but were given a
necessary front by introducers and
iohS "iiASAA SooAo Aos put Ou l1dI
front was passed.
There we're a dozen validating acts,
chiefly for school districts, where old
laws had been held invalid by the su-
preme court, and much litigation
promised. Despite fairly large ex-
penditures it has been a business ses-
sion, with little money spent without
a good reason shown, and many fran
tic pleas were turned down. About
bali the bills promised to be offered
the week before the session put in
appearance and about half of those
suggested were introduced and a little
over half Of them passed.

TROOPS GAIN CONTROL

London, June 2S.-The presence Of
hundreds Of British troops in London
derry has had its effect upon the
rioters.
Saturday and Sunday were passed
in comparatively peaceful fashion, and
with but little firing to break the
calm that descended upon the city
Friday night when the military began
to take the upper hand.
No more troops are arriving. It is
reported 20 Sim Feiners have been
killed in recent fighting, and that they
have been buried secretly.
hi Irish labor party has announced
it supports to the utmost the policy
of the ~railwaymen to refuse to carry
any killing material" 1t also sun
ports the refusal to carry armed SOL
diers or police, on the grounds that
the presence Of soldiers on trains
makes ordinary civilians really host
ages. It orders the men to continue
on their ordinary duties Until thcy
are dismissed.

tured General Lucas, who command
ed the Fermoy district, together with
Colonies Danford and Tyrrel, of the
