pass it, but three Senators changed their
votes, thus defeating the bill.

change being in. direct violation of the
rules. He was ignored, however, by Pres
ident pro tenn. Thomas, and it was by the
most persistent demands for hearing in
which he was backed mp by Senator Finn,
that Senator Grady finally secured hear
ing, Senator Thomas apparently did not
know on what bill Grady was arguing, but
finally declared that there was pothing in
order but the reading of the next bill unless
Senator Grady desired to take an appeal.
This Grady declined to do, though he pro
tested vigorously against the high-handed
ana unfair action OF the Chair.
