amendment was opposed and then "A war

put "A head on him so big his hat woudn, t
tit him" The president called order and
vote was taken resulting in killing
Clapp's amendment, and passing the bill
raising the aye of consent to seventeen
years
The next lay, however, the bill came
up again; and the senate receded from its
action Of the day before, and 50 amended
the bill as TO make sixteen instead of sev
entecn the maximum. Senator Bailey
made an eloquent plea for The better pro
lection of young girls. and said that the
time was not far distant when the bill fix
ing the age at seventeen or even more,
would be adopted. notwithstanding this
and other pleas for the young. as passed
by the senate the are of consent is sixteen
