Richmond, Va, Oct. THE conven-
tion was in session but little while to-

a resolution directing the sergeant-at-
arms to make out list of three pages
to serve each day during carnival week
and grant leave to the other six.
Adopted by unanimous vote.
Judge Green then moved to adjourn
until tomorrow. He said he thought
this courtesy was due to the capital
city which was inaugurating today one
of the grandest spectacular events ever
seen in the South. Members here and
the convention as body, he said, had
received at the hands Of the citizens and
the government of the city every mani
festation of courtesy and attention. 1t
was besides impossible to carry on
business with a roll call of fifty-nine
when ten minutes afterwards probably
there would not be twenty-nine. The
matters under discussion were too inn
portant to receive the attention of so
small number. The motion was
adopted by a vote of 27 to q and the
