Immediately after the reading of the
minutes Senator Cecil Brown arose
from his chair and virtually apologize
ed for his behavior on the preceding
day.
Yet there was string attached to
that apology, for the Senator gave the
President to clearly understand that
he would make more complete apol-
ogy If he was found in the wrong, but
that he did not think he had erred.
However Brown gained his point, Tor
his version of the incident is now. a
part of the journal of the Senate, and
though it is as nearly unbiased as 1t
would be possible for one of the par
Elephants of the affair to make it, yet
the statement makes it appear that
the Senator was the wronged party
There is always a calm after a storm,
and the Senatorial body was as meek
as a lamb yesterday, very little oppo-
sition being made to any of the propo-
sails made. Senators Brown, Garter
and White We're unusually quiet
throughout the session, and it is evil
dent that the event of the day before
was still fresh in their minds.
Immediately after the reading of the
minutes yesterday morning at the
meeting of the Senate, Cecil Brown
arose to a question of privilege and

After that during the debate the
President claimed the right to vote on
the final passage of bill, and / think
the President must have become con-
fused with the rules OF the Lower
House.
Understanding the ruling OF the
President to be that he claimed that |
right under the supposition that the |
joint resolution was a bill, I appealed |
from the Chair. At that time Mr.. |
White arose to his feet and interrupt
ed me, and 1t was at that time that !
the Chair ordered me under arrest and |
the House adjourned.
Il simply wish to make this state |
ment so that the facts will go on rec
ord, and II l was wrong / am willing !
to apologize to the House. l admit |
that / lost my temper and that II I |
had not done so the affair might not !
have happened"

tion of Cecil Brown was spread upon
the minutes.
