Carpenter have been asking for more
time for the purpose of holding day ses-
sions, and the rules of the senate were
amended today to allow OF an hours
more work in the forenoon before the
senate convenes. sss
In the assembly today much OF the
time was taken up in discussing the
matter of appointing additional clerks
and employees of the assembly or COM
mittees. Shanahan enivened the pro-
eeedings by his reference to the speak
er's ruling, but when the speaker called
upon the sergeant at. arms to quiet the
Shasta member, the latter remembered
his Difference to order and took his seat,
although still protesting against the de-
cision of the chair,
