SALARY BILL GOES THROUGH.
The salary bill was then passed, al
though Lewis wanted to make further
amendments being shut out by the pre-
vious question. The vote was twenty
two to five, those voting in the negative
being Home Rulers.
There was an attempt to bring UP
the loan bill conference but Long said
that there was a feeling that this
should be delayed until the regular APP
preparations had been passed. The Sen
ate might adjourn, he said, or the Gov
ernor might fail to sign the bill
Speaker Beckley said there were only
two days left, but Kumalae said the
Governor could extend the session and
make it thirty-two days. Beckley an
nounced that he would refuse to pre-
side longer than Saturday; if the work
was not done at that time he would not
continue as Speaker. From all over
the House came declarations that MEM
bers were going home.
The House adjourned for the day at
11:45 o'clock.
