The passage of the MU followvi r debate marked by some acrimony. The. * tat emeu' was made by Senator Runyon of Union that the senate was shout to take one of the most Important votes ever taken In the history of the state and the crowded pallerl.-s told of the great Interest of the public; In the matter. The hill cam* up under suspension, of the rulea upon motion of Senator Pilgrim of Essex, who nvkrd that the ■ ommUtee substitute for the Barrett ' hill be auhstltuu-d for senate bill No. 174, Introduced by himself. It looked' for a minute as If I'realdent f'ase arbitrarily was going to refer the hill to ; committee and make Its consideration: Impossible. When the message of the house was read he made a quick refer ence, end for a minute the proponentof the bill were at a loss cs to how t.. proceed. Finally some one suggested an Immeditite report, and the oomralt-: tee repo-.-ted the bill favorably. Tbcii a parliamentary move brought the bill to third reading, snd the deh*te was On. Sevem’ unsuccessful attempt* were' made to amend the bill. Senator j Heines of Camden wanted a ref ere:,-; dum tacked on. and Senator Sturgew*! wanted the penalties of the Volstead 1 act Inserted These attempt- to amend occasioned some slight debote l-eforr 1 Senator Pilgrim took up the main qaction.
