The amendment was lost
Disorder continued to reign supreme
and at least half dozen members were
on the floor at the same time frantically
demanding recognition. But far above
the turmoil arose the voice of Mr.. Shock
ney calling for the previous question on
the passage of the bill. Motions to indeti-
nitely postpone, motions to adjourn and
motions to take up the city charter were
made and lost, but the member from
Randolph persistently demanded the pre-
vious question. At last his efforts were
crowned with success, and the call of the
roll on the previous gu stion began.
Before the roll call was handed to the
presiding officer by the clerk. Mr.. Ma
gee, who had been leaning over the latter 8
shoulder while the vote was being taken,
charged that he had voted two members
who had not responded when their names
were called.

should be but IS said" Mr.. Magee.

shockney and other republicans.
Mr. Shockney-"There has been a seri-
Gus charge made against an officer of this
body who cannot defend himself. 1t is
untrue, and the member who made it
should be rebuked."
Mr.. Magee persisted that the roll clerk
had voted more members than were
present.
The presiding officer reiterated that
there had been no change and announced
that the vote was Is to y.
The roll was then called for veri6cation
and the previous question was ordered by
q vote of Is to Is.
The next vote taken was on the passage
of the bill, aud it failed because of a lack
OF a constitutional majority. It can be
called up again, however, at any time,
under the previous question. The fol-
