DEFEATS RESOLUT TON
HOUSE VOTES DOWN MOTION TO
REPORT AMENDMENTS TO
CODE in COMMITTEE.
BILL INTRODUCED TO PROVIDE
CORPORAL PUNISHMENT FOR
THE WIFE BEATERs.

st. Paul, Jan. 31.-The house Mon
day voted down a resolution introduce
ed by Representative Edward Tanning
OF Olmstead, requiring the judiciary
committee to report amendments
made to the various chapters of the
statute revision code as rapidly as
they are made The object of the
resolution was to have the amend
ments printed in the house journal.
that the lay members might be able TO
compare the amendments with the
original, and thus be able to determine
what was going on in the judiciary
committee room.
The resolution, which was introduce
ed Friday before the adjournment for
the Sunday recess, was called up Mon
day by it's author, and members OF the
judiciary committee SO vigorously as
sailed it that it was put to sleep. On
a viva yoce vote. r. J. Wells, who was
in the chair, declared it lost. The roll
call was not demanded, but had it
been asked for many believed that the
resolution would have carried.
w. p. Peabody Of Hennepin had
given notice of debate when the reso-
luton was introduced, and Monday
Mr.. flaming called up and moved its
adoption by the house. Immediately
members of the judiciary COMMITTEES
began firing question at the 0lmstead
member. j. A. Andaregg asked the
purpose Of the resolution, and wanted
to know if Mr.. Tanning intended to
have the whole code printed in the
journal. w 3. Anderson, chairman of
the Judiciary committee, said it was
impracticable, for only one subcommit
tee had reported on the chapters as
signed TO it. He expected the other
subcommittee to report late in the
week.
NJ. J. OIaughlin said it was well
for the committee to report out the
code as fast as it was amended, show
ing what is being done in the commit
tee. It would serve as a forecast and
would give the lay members of the
house some idea of what to expect
when the code was reported out as a
bill
When it is reported out it will be as
whole bill, and the house can accept
1t or vote it down." Mr.. Anderson said
"There will be nothing gained by hav-
ing the report of the subcommittee
for the full committee may change
their work.

line, out the judiciary committee and
