unanimous vote yesterday decided to
send to Congress the memorial asking
for the amendment to the Organic Act,
Increasing the number of Supreme
Court Justices ~ five.
The action was taken with little dis
,cu-.ion and tie meeting was without

&c A. Davis to butt in. the associa-
tion. He came in just as the meeting
opened and though he tried to make
himself conspicuous, no one paid the
quiet-for him, other than a sneering
reference now and then to the Supreme
Court which disbarred him.
The meeting was held in Castle &
Cooke hall at five o'clock. Mr.. Smith
stated briefly that the meeting had
been adjourned from Wednesday even
ins; because of q. lack of quorum, and
that the memorial had already been
thoroughly discussed. Secretary Mat
shewman then read the second memo

of the proposed amendment to the Or

aPrivate Citizen Because of the
Noodle Scandals.

St. Louis, April 81. Lieutenant
Governor John A. Lee has resigned his.
office as. assistant executive of Mis-
souri,. The resignation was n!ailed to
Governor Dockery after Lee had spent
much time in conference with his adj
yisers. 1t is not necessary that the
resignation be accepted by Governor
Dockery. Under the constitution of
the state a resignation is self-opera-
tive and becomes effective the moment
lit is filed with the governor.
Senator Thomas P. Rubey, of
Lebanon, Mo-, president pro TEN. of
the senate, succeeds to the office of
lieutenant governor. Lieutenant Gov
ernor Lees resignation is voluntary.
Until Saturday he was undecided what
course he. would pursue, and declined
to say whether he would resign. After
consultation with his advisers he de
cided to withdraw from office. Ii
speaking of his action he expressed
qualification in laying aside the care!
and responsibilities of office. and re
marked that holding position of trus
was thankless job at the best.

At D. IN. five of the organization
men and five of the opposition went
into conference for the purpose of
agreeing on Il settlement. This lasted
nearly three hours. 1t was agreed that

ment We're authorized to make them or
not: but the statements having been
made to me, and some of them very
recently, fully convinced me that there
was something wrong with this effort
on the part of outside parties to pusl

roll call and have stood firm on this
proposition to the very limit. A ma

The speaker then. started to put thu
motion to adjourn, but there was i'm
