had up the resolution to make the members an

desired result. Mr.. Walsh's bill to prohibit in
demnity insurance companies from doing bust
ness in the state was reported adversely and
by the authors appeal to have it considered In
the judiciary committee. Mr.. Walsh's coal

the expenditure to 500, and Mr.. Walsh moved
its adoption. There was some opposition to tie
