Legislative Notes,

Assemblyman Pendleton had an expe-
rience yesterday that disgusted him with
elevator ascensions. In company with
Speaker Lynch and another Assembly
man, he ascended in the elevator TO the
third story Of The Capitol. The elevator
did not work very well, and on arriving
there Pendleton got out, declaring that
he had enough Of it. Lynch, however,
persuaded HIM to re-enter again to de-
scend to the lower floor, and gave the
word TO the elevator attendant to let her
drop" She did drop, and stuck midway
between the first and second floors, where
the party were imprisoned for more than
halt an hour. The top of the cage was
finally taken of and the party released,
1t was noticed during the debate last
night that the applause given the speeches
Of the woman suffrage advocates came
mainly from the south side Of the cham
Der, where the women VINO are adYOcat-
ing the measure were massed in the
nelghborhood OF Speucer's seat, and that
the applause that greeted the speeches of
Reid and SWiSler were from the rear and
north sides OF the chamber, as well as
from the body of the house. After the
adjournment many OF the mem bers, even
the advocates Of the bill, crowded around
Reid and congratulated him on his MASTER

congratulations, he said: ''W ell, L did not

The joint Committee on Finance of the
Senate and Ways and Means of the AS
sembIy had up for consideration last
night the claims Of the several news
papers that had published the constitu-
uonal amendments prior to the recent
election. The opinion prevailed with the
committee that the Governor would read
lily sign any bill placing the com binod
claims at $4,000 or any less amount.
Rough estimates showed that the claims
which the committee proposed reporting
back would foot up about 500. 600, and 1t
IS expected that the bill as amended viii
carry that appropriation.

Those who have seen the piece before
