providing Il second payment of mile

Mr. Fuller said the question to be
determined was whether this was the
second session of the Fifty.eighth con
gress or a continuation OF the session
begun In November. He differed from
Mr.. 4littletield in the contention that
this Is a continuation. He held that
the November session ended at noon
on the day fixed by the Constitution
for converting the December session.
Mr.. Parker IN. J.) followed Mr..
Fuller, taking the opposite view. HE
insisted that there was nothing TO
warrant the drawing Of mileage for
travelling 5000 miles during the period
that the clock was striking IL. He
said that the house had talked OF
horses and carriages used by the sew
eral government departments and
made the point that 1t would be In
consistent to allow n fictitious con-
struction on the mileage item.
After further debate Mr. Tawney
overruled the point of order.
The mileage appropriation was then
stricken out by vote OF l67 to and
the urgent deficiency bill passed as
amended.
A large attendance Of members was
present during the debate and the
arguments for and against the propo.
sition received the careful attention OF
