HOUSE.
Extra Session.
Twentieth Day.
Afternoon Session.


The House came together promptly
at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon and
Speaker Beckley announced that there
were couple of communications from
the Senate to be read.
The clerk read the first of these,
which was to the effect that the Sen
ate had concurred in the amendments
Of the House to the Emergency APP
preparation Bill.
The second communication pertained
to the expense bill of the House and
when this was read, all the pent-up
feelings Of outrage broke forth in some
of the members and the Senate was
treated to scorching the like of
which II has not had during the pres
ent session.
AyIett on the Senate.
Mr.. Aylett was the first to take up
the defense of the House. He said the
members had been imposed upon and
that the proper respect for them had
not been shown by the upper house. He
moved that the House do not concur in
the amendments of the Senate and
that a conference committee be called
for to take the bill into consideration.
Mr. Aylett said the Upper House
knew the way Of remedying any de-
fects Of the House. They were GER
tainly proceeding in most highland
ed manner. Mr.. Aylett said the FL
nance Committee Of the Senate had
met with the Finance Committee of
the Senate. Had the Finance Com.
mittee of the House been given orders
to meet with the similar body? No.
Had tho Senate Finance Committee
any authority to meet with the House
Committee? No. The bill had not
been referred to the committee named.
II might have been a mistake on the
part Of the House to put in the words
referred to, but he for one would not
recognize such action. The Upper
House knew what TO do. II should
have called for a conference on the
matter.
Harm Explains.
Mr.. Harris went into an explanation
OF the action OF the Finance Commit
tee in presenting an estimate of the
expenses of the House to the Senate
Committee. A flaw had been discov-
| cred in the bill and rather than have
II go into the courts, II had been
deemed best to make a separate bill
of the expenses of the extra session,
leaving the hold-over expenses OF the
regular session for a separate bill.
Mr.. Harris said he had secured an
estimate of expenses from the clerk
of the House which were $4,000 as
near as could be computed. The FL
nance Committee of the House had not
acted in the capacity of a committee
In dealing with the Senate on the mat
ter OF the expense bill. The Senate
committee came down for information
and as a matter OF courtesy 1t was
given them.
Mr.. Paele said he was in favor Of
what Mr.. Aylett had said. The best
thing for the members to do was to
adjourn for three days and keep on
doing the same thing for there was
no money to pay the officers or the
members.
Beekley's Sound Advice.
Speaker Beckley at this point called
Mr.. Paele to the chair. saying that he
had few remarks on this subject
which he wished TO make.
There Was No Diseourtesy.
Mr. Beckley said 1t was true that the
bill OF the House had been reduced
from 100000 to $4,000 and had amend
ed the title so as to contain only one
subject as provided by law. 1t had
been stated by the Senate committee
that the Governor and Attorney Gen
eral had stated that the title was con-
