WHY
When Mr.. Kilan's name was called he said he
hoped the House would give the bill chance. An
opportunity to be SO amended, If possible so
as TO meet with tho views OF the majority
Of the members. n there were good features
he cd theu IN ha neid II
voted in favor of the motion.
Mr.. King said he voted mo- because nc believed the
bill was attempt to accomplish an impossibility
Mr. Ogden remsrked that there we're good many rca
sons why negative vote should prevail the chief one
OF which was that the House owed some
respect TO its standing Committee Railroads.
which had unanimously reported against the bill
Mr.. weant said as the member who introduced It
was absent when the committee made its report IL
was but right, matter what might be
its merits demerits, that he should be
given opportunity to have it fairly discussed In
Committee OF the Whole.
Mr.. Ballou remarked he was not like some members
who had risen to a question OF privilege and
who were absent when the committee made
Its report Aside from what might be tho
conflicting views OF members on the BILL he
thought that there ought to be fair play about the mat
bill present when the committee made the re-
port, he thought reconsideration Of the vote had on
the committees report could prevail without any re-
Election on the committee
YKAR OF A LOBBYIST.
When the vote was announced the House went on
with Its routine business usual II contended by
the friends Of the bill that had 1t not been for
the fear that they would be regarded as playing
into tho hands OF 4 certain lobbyman who
wanted to the bill get into the House. that no
could put money in his pocket by getting the railroad
companies TO employ him TO buy up members enough
10 defeat 1t when IL would be put its hnal passage
the motion would have been carried. This follow
and another OF his feather made themselves so
disgustngly prominent In talking about the bill that
there is doubt about this fear OF honest members Of
being misunderstood II they voted in the Affirmative.
QUESTION PRIVILEGE
Mr.. Killian, II will be borne mind, gave notice
that he would ask for committee OF investigation into
the charges made against him and the members of the
Railroad Committee. It Is probable that the APP
pointment will not be asked until Mr.
West and Mr. Worth, the two members
Of tho Railroad COMMITTEE who absent this even
ing, have had opportunity 10 be heard before the
House on question Of privilege, which, learn. they
anxious 10 obtain.
