house has voted to repeal that section

of the soldiers. home to turn over to that

might use the extra money for buying
whisky"

desk. Nov will the gentleman with
draw his objection to the bill?'
Stull laughed and withdrew his objec-
ton, whereupon the bill was reported
for passage and today went through.
