STATE LANDS.
Thomas moved that the resolution of
tered by him Thursday, which called for
the appointment of a committee of three
by the Speaker TO inquire into the coDdi-
| ton and affairs of the State lands, with
power to conduct all necessary inyestiga-
tions, be taken up out of order.
He explained that over 100000 acres
are tied up by wealthy corporation in
the shape of lieu lands, ana are paving
neither interest nor principal to the
school fund. If the matter went to a
standing committee the proposition
would be to bury it.
The Speaker thought it should properly
go to the Committee on Homestead and
Monopoly, and so referred it.
Powers moved to amend by increasin o
the committee to seven, and Thomas ac-
cepted the amendment.
The motion was lost by vote of sc
noes to ayes.
''wELL" INVESTIGATION.
The Speaker announced the special
committee to investigate the matter of the
"well," as follows: McKelvev Chair
man, Bettman, Cargill, Swisler and
Laugenour.
Laugenour offered a resolution that
| Thomas be added to the Committee on
Homestead and Land Monopoly.
| Adopted.
! Brusie moved that when the Assembly
adjourn 1t do so till P. NJ. Monday. Lost.
THE SECRETARY OF STATE OBJECTS.
a communication was read from L. H.
| Brown, Secretary of State, stating that
false and malicious charges had been
made by member relative to the restau-
rant in the basement Of the Capitol.
He had always been, he said, unaIter-
| ably opposed to the sale of any liuuor in
the Capitol, and would permit none to be
| solo as long as he was Secretary OF State
1t does not follow that because it was sold
| during prior sessions it is done now. and
| he was satisfied that no LIQUOR has been
| SOLD since the Legislature convened, the
| restaurant-keeperh having given a bond of
81, 900 that no liquor will be sold. A, J.
| Rhoads has no interest in the restaurant,
| and 1t IS convenience to many. What
| ever tends to the comfort of the people,
| he thought, is in line with laws in gem
eral and the Constitution in particular.
Bledsoe rose to question of privilege.
| The Secretary of State should not have
| sent here communication referring to
| him.
| The Speaker said no one had been
named in the communication.
Bledsoe said that he still insisted the
restaurant was only cloak for a saloon.
Several Intellectual motions 10 adjourn
till Monday having been made, large
| number OF members asked leave of alb
| sence, which was granted to Powers,
Pendleton, Davitt, Dinkelspiel, Bettman,
| Wilkinson, Mccarthy, Barker, Jones,
Deyine, Wilkins, Coughlin, Zocchi,
Dixon, BrusIe, Kenyon, Richards, Healey.
| Stansell, Butler and Mcdonald.
Price gave notice that on next legisla-
tive day he would move to reconsider the
vote by which the report of the Commit
tee on Attaches was adopted.
Then came more motions to adjourn till
some hour on Monday. Reid wanted to
know if the members who had obtained
leave of absence had right to vote on
the question, and the Speaker decided,
amid much laughter, that as they were
| present they had that right.
