Legislature seems 10 be in a state Of mo-
lecular disintegration. IL Il difficult TO
keep a quorum in either house. Members

and rush out upsn the Sqfzre. Some have
already gone home. Others are packed
ready 10 20. There Is a great struggle 10
get through private bills and the lobby
Is kept very busy.
The session was called, principally, TO
pass the appropriation and tax bills

course Of two or three days. The signs are
that the Legislature will not be much longer
with us.
The Famous Five stand firm.
