Senate Bills 37 and 39. introduced by Senator Sam H. Brown, of Marion county, passed a third reading in yester day's session. Bill 37 provides that anyone tresspassing ; on any inclosed,' improved or cultivated lands without the consent of the owner, shall be deemed guilty, and -shall be .punished by a fine of from S5 to 150. Bill 39 states that in all trespass cases, the jus tice court shall have jurisdiction, and that all fines collected shall be turned over to. and shall con stitute a part . of ; the common school fund of the county in which the trespass occurred. The negative votes in both cases were cast by Senators Carsner, Clark, Hall, Klepper, Upton, and Moser. The trespass measure has earned the reputation of an argu ment provoker, and invariably draws the fire of Senator Upton. Senator Eddy, of Douglas county is the strongest supporter of the measure.

Bar Press From Gallery SECRECY IS MAINTA NED BY MEMBERS OF SENATE Intimate Details Leak Oat; Deep Secret Guarded for Five Minutes WASHINGTON, Jan. 26. The perennial row over newspaper publication of happeningi in ex ecutive sessions of Jth a rsenate was renewea ioaay at an executive ses sion held for the primary; purpose of sending back to the judiciary committee the nomination of At torney General Stone toj be a su preme court justice. I Aroused by publication of in timate details of what transpired in Saturday's executive j session; some of the leaders put forward several tentative suggestions as to ways and means of stepping the leaks, but there was no) definite action after an hour's discussion. One proposal was that a rule be adopted to bar fromf the press gallery any correspondent who wrote about what had tfanspired after the doors were closed. This is ' said to ' have evoked consider able discussion. I attention hg senate During 1 the debatej was called to an exist rule under which a i senator Is liable at least to expulsion for disclosing executive proceedings. This and other events apparently carried a deep impression,- for when the doors were the public there was opened to an air at once of great secrecy and mys- 1 '--' tery. , Leaders flatly refused to dis- close even what action! had been taken with reference to) the Stone nomination, but that Remained a secret less than five minutes. Accounts of the running debate on the matter of observance of the rules by senators were fiess readily obtainable, however, mbst of those present declining to talk about it. One senator met the Inquiry with the statement tpat he am not "want to go to Jail"; otners asked that no questions be put to thPm at all. and still Others re plied with the declaration that such inquiries should qot be made. There were senators however, who took the position that tne references of the nomination to a committee was bound to become a matter of public record and that consequently a statement of the fact was permissible, j Still others said they regarded the whole mat ter of executive sessions as more or less "ridiculous.? i The rule as torsllence oj. sena tors on executive j proceedings, if emnhatie. It is in this language "Any senator Or officer or tne senate, who shall disclose the se cret or ! confidential Imslness , or prpciedings of the senate shall oe liable, if a senator, to suffer ex pulsion from that ' body, and if an officer, to dismissal irom me service of the senate.! land to pun ishment for contempt' Some seators" take the position that under a strict interpretation of that rule, senators could not disclose what transpired even to the president himself; as was done bv some - of the administration leaders after Saturday's executive session when it became apparent that the .Stone nomination could not be confirmed at this time.
