Eichnor said the fault was not with the
clerks. 1t was with the members. If
the notes of the stenographers were ever
published they would make the worst
tumble ever seen. The carping was due
to a great extent to the fact that two

unintelligible.
Eldredge tried to cut the debate short
down.
Evans, of Utah, said he was not favor
able to the proposition. He fully agreed
with Eichnor that the fault lay with the
disorder in the house. But that could be
remedied. The convention had rules, and

A. P. A. OF ILLINOIS.
Amended Bill Filed Asks For Re-
ceiyer.

Chicago. March 16.-An amended bill
was filed today before Judge Payne in
the fight commenced against the state
council of the A. P. A, of Illinois last
fall, by Professor Walter Sims. The
bill asks for a receiver for the organi-
cation. In the amended bill, Sims says
that up to January 4, 1895, he was a
member of the organization in good
standing but that he was expelled
therefrom in an Illegal manner. Sims
then cites his damage suit against the
defendant and says he believes the
Sc, 900 assessment of the concern will
be wasted unless a receiver is ap-
pointed. Sims alleges he was expelled
because he announced he would vote
at the fall election for candidates not
endorsed by the advisory board of the
council.
