The matter came up at 7:30 as a spec
Ia! order OF business. In the morning
the Judiciary committee. to which the
bill for the removal had been referred
yesterday afternoon. reported that 1t
would not have an opportunity to con-
slider 1t. Mr.. Harnish then made mo-
ton for the appointment Of Il special
committee of thirteen, one from each
senatorial district, TO take the bill un-
der advisement. After considerable
discussion the whole matter was defer
red until tonight. when 1t came up at
that time. Mr.. Fisher offered IL motion
to postpone 1t indefinitely. which motion
prevailed, as stated above. The reason
advanced by those who voted for It was
that too many important matters are
already on the calendar to be disposed
OF.
a large delegation of prominent Char
lesion business men lobbyed hard
against it all day. The bill which was
introduced in the senate has not yet
been acted upon by the judiciary COM
mittee of that body. Senator Farr. the
chairman, says he has been unable to
secure quorum. The Parkersburg
delegation returned home tonight.
