Sergeant Arms for absenting themselves without

and the bill was left in precisely inc same shape
that il was in two days ago
Shortly after noon Mr.. Lanham, Of Texas raised
the point Of order that the day assigned FOR the
consideration Of the Direct Tax bill had expired
He proceeded to argue, with frequent citations
from former decisions, that the Speaker had the
power to say that under commonsense con-
strction of the rules the order assigning Tuesday
and wednesday for the consideration of the Direct
Tax bill had expired. To adopt any other CON
structiOn would BE to violate the intention OF the
Committee on Rules in reporting the assignment
and OF the House in agreeing TO II. clear con-
strnctlon OF the assignment would show that 1t
applied, not to the legislative but to the calendar
day ALL
the House, and held that rs long as the House
refused 10 adjourn, the legislative day or Wednes-
dav would continue. He recalled many precedents
for the decision. and especially the precedent pre-
sented in the Electoral, Commission bill, when the
legislative day extended over thirty calendar days
He overruled the point Of order.
Mr.. Lanham suggested that the legislative day
Of wednesday might continue until December

MACON, GA, Sept 1S.-Harrison &
Peoples of Atlanta to-day filed in Bibb SUI
perior court bill of injunction against K.
C. Maohen and the Covington and Macon

Frobel, the wife of the former vice presi-
dent and general manager, who sets forth
that the road Is indebted to the estate for
salary at $500 per month from the incep-
tion of the project in 1885 to the time OF his
death last July. She also sues for a one
sixth interest III the capital stock and bonds
and for nearly 81, 900 advanced to pay Post
a. lngersoll, contractors. She says in the bill
that on the completion of the road to
Athens $l50,000 will be due from
Athens, Madison and the Richmond and
Danville railroad, and that in the mean
while Col Machen is daily collecting sub
scriptions and donations to the road, She

moneys of that kind or from the delivery Of
bonds to Athens, Madison and the Rich
mond and Danville company until the final

sion with certain boudholders to foreclose a
