THE SENATE |j
(Continued From 8econ?l 1'uro.)
duced by Senator llartnati under which!
the Senate will from now on bo dc- |
barrod from considering any bill
against which six or morn objections j
arc registered. Senator Mapp sought
to amend It by increasing tho objections |
to ten, and making the rule elfeetivo
beginning to-day, but tho amendments
wero voted clown.
The adoption of this resolution prac
tically seals the fato of all the contro
versial bills now on tho calendur. In
pils category fall tho antlshlpping bill
and the antigambiing bill, upon tho
merits of which tho Senate Ib sharply
divided. Neither of these measures
can now come to vote except by a sus
pension of tho rules, which requires
twenty-seven votes.
Shortly heforo adjournment at 2
o'clock the Senate suspended tho rules
and took up out of its order on tho
calendar tho bill regulating tho sale of
farm produce on commission and pro
viding for tho registration and bonding
c?f commission merchants. The bill met
with objections from Senators Cannon,
Holt, Went and a number of others, who
claimed that It placed undue hardships
upon the commission merchants of the
St>?te. The new six-objection rulo was
invoked, but Senator Gravatt, who Is
guiding the >>111 through the Senate,
succeeded In securing a suspension of
the rule. The hill was under consid
eration when the chair was vacated un
til the afternoon session.
Mpnnlr Afternoon Sesftton.
The Seriate began its afternoon ses
sion with a thirty-minute considera
tion of tho general appropriation bill
its reported by the conference commit
tee, and at the end of that time passed
the amended bill by a unanimous vote.
The iiill carries appropriations for the
two ensuing years, totaling $14,158,
401.2>i. Senator Kchols, chairman of
'he l-'lnance Committee, said tiiat the
special appropriations carried by va
rious independent bills passed by?thc
l?res?*jit Legislature will aggregate ap
pro x lmatel > J200,000.
The next business In order was the
bill regulating the conduct of the corn
mlssion business. Senator Gravatt im??
i> ftor considerable difficulty at the
morning session secured a suspension
' of the rules to take the bill up out of
It*! regular order on the calendar and
bring it up for passage The bill was
t ailed at I ',<) o'clock, and Senator*Can
non, who had opposed the bill at the
ruornlng session, at once took the floor
:>irain?t It. With short pauses for ques
ti ;n:?. he spoke continuously until 0
( ?lock, when the Senate look recess
until the evening session.
I'lllbuMlrr \t;nluh( Kill.
Senator Cannon made no effort to dls
gulse the filibuster. At his request the
Senate clerk was Instructed to read the
l.tll at leriKth ? proceeding that eon ?
Minted fifteen minutes lie rn ved next
that the }?ll| be read section by section
tor the purposes of amendment. The
motion was rejected and Senator Can
rmn lonk the floor f<ir the purpose of
making what proved to be the longest
Senate speech of the present pension
1 !<? sent to tiie desk a sheaf of amend -
roents, the llrst five of which provided
respective!;, for th<* striking from the
bill or tho ilrst tlv sections
The Senate entered Into the spirit
< f the filibuster, the members grouping
Ihcms-lves? In dose formation about the
speaker. and laughing at his digres
sions. Senator Cannon devoted most of
his long speech to a criticism of tho
Sir st .section of the bill, which define*
a commission merchant as any person,
lirrn or corporation h"hllng a certificate
or registration provided by the act,
authorizing him to receive and offer
f?r sale on commission nny kind <>f
tarni prodin' except where such farm
;.rodt:<>- is sold for consumption, and
not for reaab.
The term farm produce, according to
section 1, riiall include agricultural,
li'irticultuial, and other products of the
soil, h\> stock, meats and meat prod
ucts, poultry, eggs, dairy products, nuts
and honey, but shall not include tim
ber products, llorlcul tural products,
tea or coffee.
Invoke* t on?ti tution.
Senator t'annon gave It as his opin
ion that tin re w;?s no authority In law
or In tho Constitution for the arbitrary
separation of latin products provided
in the section, and held that the law in
order to stand the test of the courts
must apply without distinction to ev
i rything raised on the farm.
The Senator from Richmond entered
vigorous objection to the section which
requires the commission merchant to
Hecuri' from the Commissioner of Agri
culture and Immigration a certificate
permitting him to "earn his living."
The requirement, he objected, was pred
icated on the assumption that commts
Nlon dealers were dishonest?an Impli
cation which, ho said, he desired to
deny as a slander on the men who en
gage in this business.
While a serious note appeared In his
speech now and then. Senator Cannon
?*iis frankly concerned with killing
time. Ho read copiously from the (.'on
xtitutlon on the elemental rights oi
every man to life, liberty and the pur
suit of happiness, and drew the atten
t Ion of the Senate to the Inconsistency
of the bill in dechtrlng nuts and honey
legitimate farm products ami at tho
same time withholding from that cate
gory tea and coffee.
Ilolt Troubled About Cider.
His repented references to nuts and
lioney and tea and coffee threw the
SSenate into a panic of laughter. Sen
ator Holt inquired formally If the in
hibition applied to apple cider, and an
other Senator Interrupted to ask if the
law would In any way affect tho sale
of persimmons by commission. To
those and other Irrelevant questions
Senator Cannon replied at length with
citations from tho bill and a running
commentary on the construction that
might bo placed on the various sec
tions.

WXXJ/YSSSSSSSS&
in the first stages of Senator Cannon's
speech attempted with sonic serious
ness to refute or qualify assertions
which appeared to tlvm to misstate the
purpose of the trill, but ae the fame pro
fs ressed they Joined In ttie comedy and
sat by to watch it out.
Several members essayed to secure
the (loor for the purpose of making
motions to take up other bills. but Sen
ator Cannon uniformly declined to yield
for any till UK but a question. He was
= till addressing himself to ttie llrsf
section of the trill when the chair at
o'clock declared a recess until the- 6?en
Ing .session.
Under the one-objection rule, the
commission merchant bill wbs passed
by at the night session. It will bo
again at the head of the calendar this

APPROPRIATION BILL j
! SCALED AND PASSED'
Report of Conferees Adopted,
With Increase for Pen
sions Cut Out.
I
Hoth houses of the General Assem
bly yesterday afternoon adopted the j
report of conferees on the general ap
propriation I.ill. which has been scale*!
to (>? safely within the maximum limit
allowed by Governor Stuart. Before the
: ilnal pasosKi' of the Mil it was an- ]
nouneed that the pension bill, stain -
peded through vl;e House with exten
' ;lve allowances for Confederate pol
(iifr" and widows and opening the gates
I to an uncounted number of new pen
I .sioners, would not come to a vote in
j the Senate, ami wa? therefore dead,
j The appropriation bill was made to
J conform to' the original rtcoinmoti'la
I tion <>t tlx- Mouse Appropriations Corn
j mittee, carrying a 2a per cent Increase
for pensioners now on the rolls without
I'Tiy change in the classification4;. The
idil carries 1540.000 per year for pen -
i siotis instead of SCOO.OOO as voted by
I the- House.
) Colon"! Rrev.iT, of Nansemond. chair
man of (lie House Appropriations Com
mitt, imported that the bill carried a
j grand total of *11,152,401.26, which was
i 5 tT.v.7 I less than the maximum limit
?>! ?1 which Governor Stuart
I had laid dewn as th' limit lie would
\ ap| rove. Colonel Brewer said that
from *th<> best information obtainable
| the bill was within the fairly ant!<fl
I pat. i revenues of the State.
"The bill has been pruned all along
| the Jin"," snld Colonel Brewer "We dr.
j not think it will work a hardship any- j
j where. It was necessary in a confer- j
? ence of this sort to give and take, and
? some of the Items In regard to.salary)
increases stricken out by this House]
: wer<- restored to the hill at th" request
j of the Senate conferees. We had to
I yi?ld something, but stuck out that the j
j total rhould not exceed our probable
j leceipts."
Adopted ak n H hole.
Mr. Willis moved the adoption of the :
' report of the conference committee as I
j <t whoel. Several members objected
and wanted the bill considered by items.
I Speaker <"o\ ruled that a conference
I report could no^ lie divided, but must
j be accepted or rejected as a whole '
! He referred in this connection to his]
ruling on tlio conference committee
report on the enabling act as not being j
divisible, even though the conferees
had inserted new matter not before
considered by either house.
Colonel Brewer explained that the
committee had put the items for pen- !
; sions back to J540.000 from the House;
i tigure of $600,000, with a proviso that
i all pensioners under tho act of 1!?12
j should receive an Increase in their pen
; sions of 20 per cent. From the infor
| mation the committee had, the general
i pension bill passed by the House would
I not pnss the Senate? and in order to
give any increase at all it was neces- j
sary to insert it In the appropriation
bill, thus giving the 20 per cent at j
j lirst asked for without opening the way '
i for new classllications or so changing \
!the requirements as to property or the
| date of marriage for widows as to add (
'an unknown number of new pensioners,
to the list.
-Major Stubbs snld that the Confed- j
? crate veterans would accept the bill
.and be thankful for the increase. Jle
'was satistied that the pension bill as
i passed by the House would not meet j
! with the approval of the Senate, and
| that the pension rolls would continue !
t to be made up under the act of 1912. i
(The addition of 20 per cent to the j
I amounts paid was satisfactory, ami
! would not lay the State liable to a de- !
I nmnd impossible to he calculated in ad- j
I vance from new classifications.
The conference report was adopted. :
72 to 10. the noes being Messrs. Brans- |
comb, I-'ield, Gordon, Noland, Oliver, '
I'hilpott, i'owoll, Powers, Stephenson, j
Taylor.
The bill carries for public schoo.ls j
$580,000 per year, the provisions of the j
House hill as to the distribution and j
expenditure of this amount having
been accepted by tho conferees. The i
reductions were made all along the j
lino of State institutions, cutting each i
from r. to 10 per cent without imposing
any hardship on any.
Tho bill will be engrossed and sent
to the. Governor at once. Ho has the
right to voto any slnfflo item without
affecting the remainder of the bill, but
since the total has been reduced to
the fairly anticipated revenues of the
State. H the general belief that tho
bill would meet with executive ap
proval.
Some Changes In mil.
Tho conferees were, from the Sen
ate Messrs. Edward Echols, Bland
- ?
Massio ami George Latham Fletcher; (
from the House. Met-srs. K. I>. Brewer, i
Jr.. D. II. Pitts and <? raham B. Hobson. i

houses the conferees use as a basis the
substitute l>ill proposed by the House,
with certain amendments enumerated j
In the report of the conferees.
The salary of the Superintendent of j
Public Printing Is Increased to 12,500, j

of the commission of $400 each for ex- i
traordinary services.
The Senate items of $500 for salary j
of the clerk of the Supreme Court at

Governor Stuart oent to tho Iiouso
of Delegates last night a mesaugo ve.
toing House lilll N'n. l'Jfi, for tho reilef <
of oyster planters whose oysters ar?
umnHrkptal'lo l>v rcaoon of tho disease j
commonly known as "gre'n Kill." The |
liill provided that whore tin oyster!
planter, leasing Slate lain! through the j
Commission of Fisheries, whoso oysters i
were affcetcd with the disease known'
as green gill, he might. apply to the j
commission Tor release from payment of i
rental, ami he relieved of paymept. Tho i
hill was offered by Messrs. How and!
Ktubhs and reported by the Commit- '
tee on th? Chesapeake nnrt Its Tribu
taries. The Governor grave ns his ob
jection that tho annual rental of oyster
grounds was fixed by law, and tho)
planter leasing the land takes tho risk j
of profit or loss as a part of his busi
ness venture. It would be Just as rea
sonable, said the Governor, for a farm
er in any section ot' tho State who
pays a tax of so much per aero to ask
relief from the real estate assessment
on tho ground that his crop had failed
for that season.
The veto will ho laid before the House \
his morning" on the question of whether J
or not tho bill shall be considered and j
passed not withstanding tho objections
of the Governor.
THROWS GIRLS OUT
OF EMPLOYMENT
The House of Delegates doubled back
on its tracks last night, and receded
from amendments to a bill in relation
to hours of labor which will have the
sffcot of throwing out of employment a
largo number of women working la
labeling; and bottle-washing depart- j
ment.i of whoclsale liquor houses, j
The bill la known as Senate bill N'o.
l is. to regulate the hours of labor in
factories where women and children
under the age of fourteen are employed.
It carried an Independent section pro
hibiting the employment of males under
twenty-one years of age, and females, j
In places whero intoxicating liquors are j
manufactured, bought, sold, packed or 1
shipped. The House amended the bill '
to provide that this section should not
apply to women engaged In labeling |
bottles or other work whero they were !
not brought Into contact with intoxl- '
eating liquors. A petition was pre- :
sented from about seventy-five young !
women In local concerns, who stated ;
that their work was not in the part of ?
the building where liquor was handled,
and that they would be thrown out of :
employment by the passage of the orlgr- |
Inal bill. The Senate refused to concur '
In the amendment, and returned the t
bill last night. Mr. Montague proposed 1
a committee of conference. Judge Wil- |
llama objected to a conference, anil
proposed that tho House recede from
its amendments.
This brought Mr. Hobson, of Rich
mom!, to his feet with an announcement
that when the wet and dry issue meant
throwing a large number of girls out
of employment, who wore not handling
liquor, it was time to stop. Addressing*
himself directly to Kev. James Cannon,
who occupied a seat under the gal
lery, Mr. llobson asserted that it had
