Kenzie asked Suttbn tif he did not when
in the chair Saturday trtie that any IreIh1
Der could calf the previous question fbn
the bill to create a police Commission at
Goldsboro. Hancock said Person, OF
Wayne was allowed toseall the PREVIOUS
question on this GU1dsBoro bill Saturday
because he was in charge of the bill.
Mckenzie said the minority could not be
satisfied He contended that any nfeniber
had right to call the previous question
on a Senate Bill. Hancock said this bill
had been REFERRED t6 q cofnmlnittee, while
the GoldsborU bin had not been referred.
Lusk said the question was who intro
duced the bin and who was in Charge
of it. BlackburIl said HE moved to con-
cur and that he alone could call the prev
i0us question as the maker of the mo-
ton. Lusk ruled that Blackburn was
of order; that the bin was no substitute,
but an original bill. Blackburn appealed
from the decision of the chair. The chair
refused to put his appeal and ruled it
out of order. Aiken then, as the intro
ducer of the minority report of the COM
inittee on the Senate substitute, called
the previous question. Cook commended
that only the man Who made the majority
report could call the previous question
and he ruled Aiken out Of order .,..
Blackburn moved that the, lobbies be
cleared and said people, who represented
the minority interest were present. tSut-
