NO MORE TROUBLE LOOKED FOR.
A Decision From Chairman of Kentucky
Legislature Said to End the War.

Frankfort, KY, March 12.-In the
Senate this morning Mr.. Jones, Repub-
iican, offered an amendment to the journ-
III which made it appear that the Senate
had ad journed before the report, decIar-
Ing tho seats vacant, was considered.
The lieutenant governor said he had in
tended finally to put the motion Cor ex-
pulsion.
The Senate voted down the amendment
and approved the journal as it stood.
The mayor ordered the police to clear
the lobby of all but members and officers
before noon.
The crowd resented this, but the ex-
mem bers and the state officials had to 20
as we'll as the rabble. James and Wal
ton were still in the House when it was
announced that the Senate was ready for
the joint session. When the roll was
first called none OF the Republicans an
swered to their names till Dehoe was
called. When he responded, Jones, Lay
and Landes followed, and all the Repub-
Hcans began answering to their names.
Neither clerk called the names of the
unseated members. No one attempted
to interfere with James and Walton, who
had seats on the floor. Senator Bronston

Journal 9f each house. MIR. Burnet,
Rep. objected to the reading of any
but the joint session journal of the joint
proceedings Mr.. Bronston said
that he had seen stationed In the
corridor police officers. He asked that
everyone be excluded from the floor ex-
oept the actual members and officers
and bonafide newspaper correspondents.
The chair ruled that the rules allowed
ex-mem bers and state officials on the
Aoor, but he put Bronston's request in
tie shape Of q motion. The Republicans
refused to vote and broke a quorum.
The chair decided no quorum ad voted
and that the motion was lost.
Ina the Legislature today, Mr. Carol
forced from the chair the most important
ruling of the session. He declared that
he would rule on all questions that 70
members must he present, land voting".
This removed a menace to the Demo-
rats from the presence of James and Wal
ton, even If Dunlop were present. The
chair demanded a roll call for the vote
for senator. The Republicans did not
vote and the Democrats divided them
selves between Carlisle and Blackburn in
the usual proportion. The session then
adjourned
II was agreed on all sides that the
and voting relieves the situation.
Nobody will now object to the presence
of the unseated members and no more
trouble is looked for.
The ballot stood: Blackburn, 81;
Carlisle. 10; Buckner, 1. The Democrats
are jqbilant over the chairs ruling.
They think they will get enough votes to
eleot before the legislature adiourns on
Tuesday. Both houses have adjourned.
