"a CHARI EsToE, Dec. IS, 1921 /
The Capital Bill was referred 10 the
Committee on the Judiciary in the Senate
this afternoon without debate. The rules
Of the Senate require referenceof all
bills on second reading, unless otherwise
ordered, and as no one made'a motion to
dispeuseWith tho reference, the bill was
referred by the Clerk. The Judiciary
Committee consists OF seven persona, four
Of these are in favor Of removal, so ! think
Pm sale in saying that the bill will be
acted on at once and reported back
promptly.
In The House this afternoon the Benate
bill organizing the Supreme Curt Of
Appeals, defining It's Jurisdiction and
powers and prescribing rs mannebof pro.
ceeding was read the second time.
Mr.. Shirley-Mr. Butchers colleague
1noyed to amend the bill so as toiprovide
that one session of the Court shall be held
at Charlestown, in the county Of Jeffer-
son, instead otat Wheeling, in the county
OF Ohio, as provided in the bill.
This move will be at once recognized
as oneof, the retaliatoty measures threat.
ened BY the friends Of Charleston II the
tblll locating the Capital temporarily at
Wheeling were passed. The friends OF
Wheeling made no remarks on the mo-
ton, doubtless relying on the fact that
the member, would see 1t Ia. It's proper
light, and vote It down. The motion was
lost however, by 9 tie vote only 49,.

Mr., Shirley then moved that the bill be
reietteaI 10 the Committee on the Jhdici-
ary, which motion prevailed. Mr. Shir-
ley's idea was, presume, TO delay the
bill as long as the o6HGrioS name Of
Wheeling remained in It.
Both Houses have resolutions on their
tables proposing recess to commence
next Saturday, the 21st instant, and con.
tinue until some time in January. There
is some opposition to this resolution In the
Senate, because it.'provides that during
the recess neither the members nor Off.
cers shall receive per diem or mileage.
AS one Of the Senators expressed II, the
proposed adjournment isfor the purpose
OF consulting their constituents on i'm.
poftaut measures, and therefore the "dear
people" ought to foot the bill. The
"wstch dogs Of the treasury" however
and prospective candidates for high posi-.
tlOns-=hessrs. Camden and, Bennett
think otherwise, and so the resolution
Esleepeth. do not see how an adjourn.
ment can DO taken before the LIST Of
January at any rate, for the reason, that
OF all tho important measures necessary
to be enacted, in order TO put into effect
the provisions Of the new Constitution,
nota one yet complete, a Yet both
Houses lwill probably adjourn, In order
that the members may have an oppor.
