MT. Murphy took his brothers in the council to task for their "TomfoaIery' as he called it yesterday The council, in his opinion, has been ''frittering away it's time, and the time had arrived when work should begin. He moved that hereafter the council meet at 10 o'clock in the morning, at o'clock in the af- ternoon and at ' o'clo4k in the even ing. The other industrious man in the council. MT Udall, seconded the motion, and the other members groaned
 MT. Bunch amended by making the meeting hours 1 o'clock and o'clock in the evening. and MT Carpenter wanted it just plain 1 o'clock in the afternoon. After a lengthy discussion the hours of meeting were left as they have been. Mr. Bunch's sugges- tion was in the right line, for the morning hours could then be devoted to committee work. The committees on judiciary and territorial affairs are flooded with bills, and the only way apparent out of their difficulty is to re- port their bills out without recom- mendation and let the committee of the whole rustic with them.
 The house committee of the whole considered the bills creating a terri torial department of archaeology, and Dr. Miller took the floor and explained the scientific necessity and value ot such a department The committee arose before it took action on the sub ject, and it is on the order of un- finished business today
 The house whole committee recom- nended that MT. Scott's anti-gamb- ling bill be indefinitely postponed. When the committee arose MT. Scott moved to make the bill special order for March 3. MT. Adams moved to in- definitely postpone. MT. Scott took the floor on this question and with an attitude of defiance said it would taze him about three hours to discuss the matter. It was then near 5 o'clock. MT. Scott started in on a well prepared manuscript giving the crime of gamb- ling hot shot The members began to slip out, and somebody asked that they be brought back. The sar- geant at arms was sent after them, and Mir Scott sat on his desk and rested. The officer after some time reported that he had found a mess of members in a committee room, but that they refused to come in. The speaker threatened to Iepri- mand the truants and to bar them from the house until they apologize1. His voice reached the culprits and they slipped back in a hurry Then MT. Moore tried to choke off Mir Scott by moving that debate be dispensed with. This was lost, and Mir Scott proceeded. It dawned on the enemy that the "chap- lain" had ambushed them, and spirit of compromise was shown. Everybody seemed willing to do anything to es- cape that speech, and MT. Scott was willing to save it for future tortue. Mr Adams and his following were com pelled to surrender or be talked to death, and MT. Scott carried his point The bill was made special order for March 3, at which time, from yester- days Indications, it will be sIauz htered in cold blood
 MT. Goldberg's sugar beet' bill wss amended in committee so that sugar factories should be exempt from taxa tion for years, instead of 15. MT. Murphy took the floor and contended against exemption of taxation of cor porations, on the ground Of good dem ocracy. He said he had mo trust in any trust, except trust in God The committees amendment was voted down, and the recommended to pass as drawn
