heretofore been allowed when the dog
/ had previously borne a good reputa-
! ton. For these reasons he wanted the
| Judiciary committee to look into the
matter and his request was granted.
FOR BICYCLIsTs.
Mr.. Harris was opposed to the house
considering Mr.. Gibbs bill, No. 135. He
held that the ground was fully covered
in present statutes and moved the bill
be indefinitely postponed. He had
previously suggested that street cars
be added to the list of vehicles which
should be compelled to turn to the right
when meeting another vehicle on the
road
Mr.. Critchlow added bicycles also,
which brought from Mr.. Gibbs the
statement that the bill was drafted by
bicycle club for their benefit.
Mr.. Gushing championed the bill. BIZ
cyclists constituted fully so per cent of
the people these days and he believed
they were entitled to some considera-
ton.
Mr.. Crtchlow said the bill was sim
ply. designed to require road hogs"
to permit bicycles to pass. There were
great many of the class of teamsterS
to let wheel go by. Wheelmen were
in this day and age entitled to the
privilege of the road as much as any
one. This, he thought in answer to
Mr.. Harris. who had stated he would
withdraw the motion if one good rea-
son for its consideration could be given,
was a very good reason and ought to be
a sufficient one.
Under an agreement that the bill
drew his motion and the bill went to
committee.
THAT PRINTING COMMITTEE.
Mr.. Morrison went after the print
ing committee once more. He had been
promised the chairman would make
statement yesterday but the gentle
man, Mr.. Ferguson, was still absent.
He thought it was about time the house
knew something about what had been
done.
Mr.. Cushing remarked ironically that
he was a member of that deSpicable
committee and would very gladly re-
sign and let the gentleman take his
place, that he might have full opportu-
nifty to know of its transactions.
Mr.. Beard stated he had been in
formed that the printing was being
done under direction of the secretary
of state and that the price to be
charged for the printing already done
was agreed by the printers to be the
same as should ultimately be named
In the permanent contract. The chair
man of the committee was i'll and he
thought to delay till Mr.. Ferguson
could be present could do no harm.
The kick eliminated in carrying a
motion by Mr.. Harris to order the COM
mittee to report FRIDAY
TOOK FRENCH LEAVE.
A motion to adjourn was at this point
defeated once more, but all but those
Who had voted against it left their
seats and started for home. Mr.. Rob-
inSon moved to instruct the sergeant
alarms to bring in the absent men,
bers. 1t was now o'clock and Mr.
Lewis thought if the members present
wanted the sergeant-at-arms to
carry out such instructions they would
lose their suppers. The motion was
lost, but Mr.. Nye moved again to ad-
Joupn. The motion was again lost and
Mr. Gibson, who would stay all night
If the rest would, moved to proceed
with the regular order. Third reading
was announced and bill taken up, but |
Mr.. Lewis moved to postpone further
consideration of it till today, which
carried, and then Mr. Maughn moved
to adjourn. Mr.. Harris began reading
and talking alternately something
about reports being addressed from !
committee rooms, but was not allowed
to get far enough for anyone to make |
out what he was driving at, when Mr.. I
Lewis insisted on the motion to ad- |
Journ. The question was put, and the |
speaker declared the motion carried
