The last of these measures are now in the hands of tie house and senate "sifting" committees. com-mittees. The Sunday closing bill, amended by the senate vto include all outdoor pleasure resort3, was defeated in the house yesterday. As originally passed by tho house, the bill applied to theaters, picture shows am similar entertainments, and to baseball and outdoor sports. , Tho so-calW Sunday amusement bill was happily killed in the house yesterday afternoon through the report re-port of the house end of the conference confer-ence commltteo appointed from both house and senate to look Into the measure some days ago. Onil Thompson reported as chairman chair-man of the house contingent that the senators of the conference did not apparently ap-parently want any such legislation. They refused to. acceed a single point from the position taken by them, and the house members were unable to agree with them. Under the circumstances circum-stances Mr. Thompson recommended the discharge of the committee and the tabling of the report As a result of a 6econJ motion the , bill was given a hurried third reading. ' roll call was taken and the measure . declared killed. Having already been i before the senate th bill is in all human probability dead for all time. The disposition of the bill and the bill Itself were not taken seriously by the house members yesterday. At the close of yesterday's session thero remained but two bills on the calendar, with none in the hands of committees. These were the appropriation appro-priation bill, which will be disposed of today In about 15 minutes, and another an-other measure which can be taken care of in an equally short space ot time. A majority of the members are of tho opinion that the adjournment will be reached by noon today. House 'Bills Killed. S. J. R.
