 The house met this afternoon in committee of the whole and consid- cred a number of bills of relatively minor importance. It was expected that the day of rest bill would he up for discussion and also that action of some kind would be taken on the bill prohibiting dancing in public schools. Many citizens were in the galleries in anticipatIon of the consideration of these meashreS. either opposing or supporting them. and Roy Benton representing the Religious Freedom Association. was present to oppose the day of rest measure but neither of these bills was reached.
 Favorable reports were made by the committee of the whole on the following measures:
 Requiring al eaSJ two physicians a; the examination Of persons as to their sanity prohibiting filing with county recorders of maps or plans in cities and towns or adjacent thereto without the approval of the lesiSla- tive bodies of such cities and towns: amending the law for regulation oi peddlers and hawkers: amending the widows exemption law; regulating chiropatic. regulating professional nursing.

 The senate today passed four bills h killed one hut later resurrected It with indications that it would be passed intimately That was the bill prohibiting the mo children" restric- tion by landlords. Under suspension of the rules it was placed on thlrd readins and defeated II to [. rms was regarded chiefly as a protest against the summary proceedings, however. and Senator Elliott in all humility and in Sackcloth and ashes moved reconsideration so that the bill could take its regular course un- der the rules. Reconsideration was approved without a dissenting vote Bills passed were as follows:
 Increasing per diem of jurors to s4.5O: providing that contractors on public works having completed the contracts to the extent of S2O.OOO may secure pro-rata estimates without waiting until the whole contract has been completed and approved; amend ing the civil procedure; making de frauding of workmen of their pay a felony instead of only misdemean- or.

The fifth measure passed was the bill giving police courts concur rent judisdiction with justice courts whose precincts are included within the towns. This bill extends to all towns a power now held by police courts in cities only.
 A measure of great importance to some members of the legal profes- sion was introduced It amends the law against barratry. The present law on that subject consists of a brief paragraph of less than half a dozen lines in which barratry is defined and penalty prescribed.
 In the proposed bill the definition of barratry covers three or four type written charges and prohibits procure menI of litigation by solicitation.
