to work, but the Senators are not quite
ready for night sessions. The night ses-

but by vote of the Senate the report of
the Committee on Rules was amended
to set the first night session next Thurs

Senator Boyce that when a bill is with
drawn by the author he may with the
consent OF the Senate substitute another

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Feb. 13.-Assemblyman McKeen
admitted this afternoon at the meeting
of the Alameda County delegation that
he was in trance when by the casting
of his vote last Friday evening he cut
the number of deputies asked for by J.
Cal Ewing, Auditor of Alameda County
from two to one. The admission did not
appear to have the desired effect upon
the delegation and apparently did not
leave the majority of the members in the
least doubt that that very eminent
statesman was in possible temporary
or perhaps permanent hypnotic state.
When the delegation was called to Or
der, McKeen took the floor and stated
that he thought he must have been in
trance when he voted mo- to the motion

had been his intention to vote aye" and
he was of the impression that he had
