ANTI-RACINC BILL
IS KILLED IN LA.
House is Scene Of Confusion
as Fight Made to Pass
Measure.

The last day of the Louisiana legis-
lature was notable for the following:
Final killing Of the Butler anti-rac-
ing bill by vote of 81 to SO, amid
wild scenes on the floor of the house.
Killing in the senate OF the general
state highway bill, by which collec-
ton OF motor licenses would have been
transferred from the secretary Of state
to the highway commission.
Killing In the house of the Lawra::
son "dry" bill which proposed Vol
steading Louisiana and going him one
better in dryness.
Killing in the house of the Butler
amendments to the Sunday law, where
by a man could buy gasoline, auto sup
plies, cigars and tobacco.
The day revolved about the final
test of strength over the passage OF
the Butler racing bill. Filibuster for
ten days had prevented the measure
from reaching final stage. 1t has been
tentatively agreed that 1t should come
to that on the last day. 1t required so
votes to pass it.
When No "a was an uproar. The
opposition was in control from the

confusion and a babble of voices. Mr..

Mr.. Claiborne had already secured rec
ognition from the speaker and had
moved the final passage of the bill.
BY doing so he gained the parliament
tary advantage of demanding recogni-

defeat, Mr.. Connor asked to change

When he moved to reconsider the
vote, the fact was sprung that Mr..
Claiborne, the arch opponent Of the
BILL had moved its final passage. Mr..
Shattuck protested.
Mr.. Claiborne demanded to know
what the record showed Clerk E. ].
Tallieu said the minute clerks book
showed that Mr.. Claiborne had made
the motion and not Mr.. Shattuck.
The "clincher" was applied and the
Butler bill was dead. There will be
no racing legislation at this session.

to die in the senate. Racing will con-
