powerful argument for upholding the
dignity of the house when aSSalled in
such an outrageous manner as at pres
ent.
Messrs. Ives. Mcguire. Greer and
Rodger seconded the motion OF Mr..
Wilson III strong language. Mr.. Wyman
thought the position of the house so far
was all right, but he would be sorry to
see anything done to jeopardize the
correctness of that position.
Mr.. Furlong withdrew his motion for
the appointment of Sergeant-at- arms
pro TEN.
Mr.. Ives asked that Mr.. Wilson with
draw the resolution temporarily to:allow
of the introduction of bill to repeal
the law under which the replevin pro-
ceedingS were taken.
Mr.. Wilson thought it would be I'M
wise to proceed in the way suggested at
the present juncture.
There being objection, the chair ruled
the bill could not be received.
Mr.. Horton said there was no Deces-
sity for the appointment OF such COM
mittee as contemplated in the Wilson
resolution. AS a member of the inyes-
tigating committee he could furnish all
the information desired. Then the MEM
Der from the Seventh ward scored the
proceedings of the court in caustlc Ian
guage and insisted that the house should
maintain its dignity in manner not to
be misunderstood. Closing, he moved a
call of the house.
Chairman Turrell said if the motion Of
Mr.. Horton was to be pressed he de-
desired to say word. Mr.. Greer was
called to the chair, and then MIR. Tur-
rell, from his seat on the floor, coun-
seled moderation. He hoped the resOlu-
tion-of Mr.. Wilson would be adopted as
offered, but he did notbelieve it would
be wise to order call of the house I'M
der the circumstances. The remarks of
the speaker pro tenn met with no favor.
Mr.. Young could see no good reason
for the appointment OF such q commit
tee He did favor. however, ordering
call of the house, and, If necessary. the
beginning of more drastic proceedings.
If it had come to that pass where
domineering, bulldoZing attorney and
subservient judge, whom he seemed to
be able to bend to his purposes, could at
will override the dignity of the legis-
lature, then he (Mr. Young would vote
to remove and undo judge created
under and holding his office by virtue
of law passed by the legislature whose
dignity he was violating.
Mr.. Cotton believed call of the
house would be the proper step to take
at the present time.
Mr.. Biorge reiterated the assertions
of Mr.. Horton us to the information
possessed by tile investigation commit
tee. He also favored the call.
When the roll had been called Mr..
Greer said he understood Representative
Il. A. Walsh was absent, and he moved
that the sergeant-at- farms be instructed
E<, in ri n oil ai
evidently considered the motion unnec-
essary, for he did not put it. But he did
instruct Assistant Sergeant-at-ArmS
Wells to produce all absent members i'll
their seats, no matter where he found
them in the capitol building OF in the
city.
In about fifteen minutes the assistant
sergeant-at arms returned and reported
Mr.. Walsh in the house.
Mr.. Dunn rose to ask if the chair knew
the whereabouts of the sergeant-at-
arms. The chair said he did not, but
Mr.. Walsh stated that when he left tho
court Oh the call of the house the SER
geant-at-arms was there, whether de-
talned or not he could not say.
Mr.. Vansant offered a~resolution in
structing the assistant sergeant-at-arms
to produce the sergeant-at-arm forth
with. Before the Chair got to the point
of putting the motion Mr.. Smout put in
an appearance and the Vansant resolu-
ton was withdrawn.
Mr.. Wilson then asked consent to
withdraw his resolution, which was
granted.
MI Ives again attempted to secure ad-
mission for his bill To repeal the act
under which Mr.. O'Brien had secured
his writ of replevln. There was objec-
ton, however, and it was not received.
The house then took recess until
o'clock.
