HOUSE GROWS WEARY
IN CLOSING DAYS
Members Are Inclined to Play
Hockey From the
Chamber

Growing restless in the closing days
or the session, members of the house
were with difficulty kept in their seats
TO vote for bills yesterday. The house
spent the greater part of the day on the
calendar, and accomplished a lot Of
work, but several bills had narrow es-
capes from defeat because the bills
were not of public interest, and repre-
sentatives frequently eluded the door
keepers and gathered in the cloak
rooms. A call of the house was or
dered two or three times during the
day. Occasionally a bit of horseplay
broke the dreariness and order was
preserved with difficulty. An adjourn
ment to 80 o'clock this morning was
taken at $3.50 o'clock yesterday after
noon.
