general assebmly OF Rhode Island. The
minority had profitted by experience and
they hoped 10 arrange the matters which
came before the house so that there
would be no suspicion, and no one desired
90 be farer I'm the matter than he. But
he could see no reason for the making
up OF the committee in the manner IL
was made up. He hoped the motion
would pass.
MR.. MALoNEY CRITICAL.
Mr.. Maloney from Smithheld un-
dertook TO criticize the action OF the min
ority and he mentioned among other
things a reference that likened the mem
bers OF the minority unto wild animals,
and that II might be inferred that the
Darwnian period had not passed because
OF the expressions OF the minority.
Mr. Rattey was OF the opinion that IL
was not a reason TO be designated as
wild animal II one maintained his con-
tentlon for what he considered To be his
due He wanted the resolution 10 be
favorably acted on and he favored the
motion 10 have a report by Thursday OF
this week.
Mr.. Johnson felt that Il was not proper
10 tie up the committee 10 report on n
day certain. 1t might be possible for the
committee 20 act I'm as brief space or
time as possible.
Mr.. McHugh was Of the opinion the
committee should make early report on
the resolution.
Judge Harris was opposed 10 obligating
the committee 10 make report on day
certain. IL was not entirely feasible TO
get a committee together when one might
desire and the resolution was entitled TO
consideration.
Mr. Fitzgerald said he did not desire to
reflect on the committee but as the future
acts OF the committee on corporations
were important. and II was necessary 10
have the uncertainty regarding the COM
mittee determined as early AS possible. he
believtd report should be made imme-
dately or not at all.
Mr. Brown said that had he heard from
the chairman of the committee on rules
and order a disposition to give the mat
ter considera ton this week or on tho
opening day OF next weeks session he
would not have made his motion. II
such promise was made he would now
withdraw his motion.

New York letter. A Broadway window

to see a young woman drenched by n
shower bath which operates directly
over her head. Over a handsome frock
she wears a macintosh. She stands
under a shower for n few minutes and
then smilingly peels OF the macintosh
and shows the observers that beneath
the protecting cloak her garments are

assure the beholder that, despite the
