exclude any individual, to imprison him.
Mr.. DuBRUTZ said the question whether th'
House has right to violate its own rules. This ruiz
has been made 70 govern the House, and if it wa

people. The House has the right 20 clear the bar
all persons, but not to slnge.out any one person.
MI CoRcoRAN raised the point that it required I

] Mr. BRuNER raised the point that he could moi
make that point until the vote is cast
| Mr. CoRcoRAN said it is unjust to say that one
person shall be put out and another allowed t. re
main. To make it apply to one person the rul,
must be suspended, and that requires atwo-thirds
| vote
Mr.. TYLER sid it was folly to say that the mem
5ers could not protect themselves. Suppose D.
! Ke8rney should erect a gallows on the floor the
| gentlemen would say that he could not be made to
leave without two thirds vote If he should come
in with his little pistol and flourish it about gentle
men win say that he can't be put out without two

| Mr. Cook asked leave to withdraw from the Cham

worth the time that had been spent, and he called

The Assembly never get through its flies unless

| Mr.. Fox said: | hope this motion to meet every
evening win not prevail. | am convinced that il
| this House had not met since the day OF its or
ganization before o'clock in the afternoon egis-
laton would have been further advanced and better

| quently later, the committees working during the
day. and the result is that they have the best framed
and best considered code of laws in the world 1t is
probably too late TO make change in that direction,
but it is not too late for to give the few hours
| that be stolen from the night TO committee
work, and thus coatribute something towards
! ing better legislation.
| Mr.. FELToS opposed night sessions There is
| imports work in the committees which must
| not be neglected.
Mr.. SIMON said the reason he introduced the reso-
! luton was because there a great many Court
Commissioners bills on the file, ard it necessary
to get rid of them in order to get at the other busi-
ness the file The resolution simply refers to third
reading of bills. He did OF believe it was neces-
sary to meet every evening. The committees could
do their work during the remaining two evenings.
The resolution offered for the purpose of ex-
| pedIting business. :
| Mr.. MAYBELL was in favor OF evening sessions He
objected to committees. He objected to the House
deiegating its power and the bills to the committees
1t is better to have evening sessions and get through
with the business. If the file is not cleared there
will be great number OF necessary bills that will
| be closed out.

House can adjourn at any time.
