the bill to correct the error with refer
ence to alcohol in the arts to GO
through without objection in the alb
sence of a quorum. 1t appears, how
ever, that when Senator Chandler
went away he left behind him a re-
quest that the bill should not be taken

mental tariff bills AMI try to pass
them in case they succeed in getting
q quorum, but they realize that there
are many difficulties in the way OF
putting such program into eXecu'
tiop, and at their meeting today re-
solved upon no definite plan beyond
eXerting themselves to the utmost to
secure the attendance of quorum.
