Stabler and his son, Howard, 14, were instantly killed when lightning struck their home last night. hands of the committees. The House rules committee was ex pected tomorrow to report a rule forbid ding the placing of bills on the calender without their being scruitinized by a committee. This step was taken Sat urday after a number of local bills had been placed directly on the calender at the request of the introducers. House leaders expressed the fear that some bill which should be closely scru tinized might slip through and for this reason the’rules committee was called together by Chairman Burgwyn for the drawing up such a rule. That a Sight would materialize on the floor of the Senate when the port com mission bill comes up was forecast on Saturday when Senator Harris, Bellamy and Brown, sponsors for the measure in the Senate served written notice on Lieutenant Governor Cooper that they would seek to have section 12' of the bill, which provides for a referendum on the question of issuing $8,500,000 worth of bonds for port terminals and ship lines, stricken from the bill . They want the legislature to provide that the com mission be formed and go to work with out waiting for the election in Novem ber. The notice sent to the lieutenant gov ernor when the bill was introduced and signed by Senator Harris reads: "The bill that I have just sent for ward far prepared by Attorney Gen eral Manning at the request of Gover nor Morrison. “It contains a section providing for a referendum. I want to give notice for Senators Brown. Bellamy and my self that we will urge the committee to which this bill has been referred' to amend the bill by striking out that sec tion providing for a referendum.” In the House probably the most in teresting feature on the lists, outside the usual run of legislation, is the threatened investigation of the state pen itentiary by the prison committee. Chairman Matthews indicated on Satur day that he would call his committee together and conduct an investigation of conditions at the prison in view of published statements of two released convicts who charged that food was very bad at the prison and that sick prisoners were chained to the beds nnd that a prisoner must be very ill before he could go to the hospital. Mr. Matthews said that he would not let the prison officials know when he wag coming and that he felt that if the charge* were true it should be known and if they were nntrue they should be proven so.
