raped the desk until splinters flew off 1t, and
he stopped from exhaustion. Pandemonium
reigned for ten or more minutes and nothing
could be done. The police entered but did not
interfere as there was no fighting. In the din

becoming weak Perry Carson mounted the
stand and put the notion having il all his own
way without leave or license from any one.
NO negative vote was taken in either case. The

fusion followed, as If bedlam had broken loose,
and TO put stop TO the wrangle Perry declared
