The House lately passed the following
bills finally:
Empowering cities and boroughs to ap-
propriate money for fund for disabled
iremen; to make women eligible to the
Office Of notary public fixing the maximum
for murder in the second de-
gree at 20 years; to prevent the manufac-
ture and sale Of cigarettes. There were on
w % votes against the bill last named.
The Andrews Highly contest was given
another airing in the house Friday morn
ing, being brought up by Mr.. Hewitt, VINO
offered resolution reciting that at the
election in Crawford county in November
1902, the return judges certified that VII
bur p. Highly had majority OF the votes
cast; this result was certified to the secre-
tary of the commonwealth and BY him 70
the clerk Of the house. These returns
were journaliged and chair ana aesK
had been furnished the gentleman. rms
chair and desk having been removed
therefore.
Resolved. That the chief clerk be in
structed to furnish Mr.. Highly with chair
and desk forthwith.
The reading Of this resolution proved
somewhat Of . surprise, but Ir. Bliss very
soon raised the point Of order that the cleo
tious committee already had resolution
before il Of the same import He withdrew
the point, however, and moved to refer the
resolution to the committee on elections.
Mr.. Hewitt said he was prompted to Of
fer the resolution out of respect to the
people of Crawford county. When the re-
turn Judges certified to the election OF MI:
Highly that entitled him to 9 seat until
regularly ousted by the house. BY the
courtesy of officers of the house seat had
been glyen him, but this was removed last
Sunday evening. he wanted to know IL
the hospitality of the house was to be ex-
tended to one of these contestants and the
other be turned out on the steps to eat MS
cheese and bread and butter there. With
Andrews voting the legislation ofthe house
was jeopardized, and he hoped sucn .
course would not be continued.
Mr.. Boyer arose at this point and desir-
ed to ask the clerk of the house q question
Being granted the privilege he asked d.
"Has every member Of the house seat y"
Mr.. Voorhees, said yes. "Then," said Mr..
Boyer, II make the point of order that
this resolution is out OF order because 1t
violates rule 43, which defines the persons
priviledged to be on the floor as members,
ex-members, representatives of the press,
employees and persons introd by q
member"
Mr.. Cessna asked If the gentlemsn from
philadelphia did not know that he raised
the point Of order too late to affect the
right man.
Mr Boyer retorted ''the gentleman from
Philadelphia knows no such thing"
Speaker Thompson sustained the point
partially, but ruled that the resolution
was an amendment to rule AZ, and might
be decided under rules 27 and Al by two
thirds vote.
Bliss wanted to enlarge the resolution to
include all contestants, but Mr.. Hewitt OBJ
jectei on the ground that the cases were
not similar: He said he held legislative
directory in his hand, complied by the
clerk, and under Crawford county he found
the names Of NcGill, Highly and McMas-
tets.
Stewsrt Of Philadelphia here raised the
point of order that the resolution being an
amendment to the rules must 60 over for .
day and was not debstable. The speaker
said the point would be we'll taken when
the motion to refer was disposed of.
Woodripg, the Northumberland Demo
crat, who voted with the Andrews people
when the Crawford county returns were
ordered journalized and who was asked by
the Democratic committee to resign. got in
o word to square himself. He hoped the
resolution would prevail and Mr.. libby be
