Washington, March .3.-Thc House
again endcavorCd to lcgiSlatc with the
brakes on today. The result was some
friction and heat and the speed in con-
SiderinG the legislative bill was cor
respondingly slow. The debate threw
many side lights on the rules OF the
House and their vigorous application to
the bill in hand by Mr.. Prince and Mr..
Hardwick, Ga. wrought havoc with
the force of the civil service commits
sion where ever increases of salary or
force were proposed. as well as other
positions for which the managers Of
the bill could find no statute law.
The particular rule invoked provides
that no appropriation bill shall be re-
ported which contains new legislation
or provision for salaries not authorized
by law. Mr.. Prince wanted the COM
nittee to see what it was to have the
rules enforced and Mr.. Tawncy retort-
ed with statement that a special rule
will be brought in later which would
put back all of the items struck out.
About one-third Of the bill has been
considered.

fence in his examination of Sheriff
FRANK j. Ham, who was on the witness

terEOon, asked the witness to identify
the bullet holes iii the door and it was
found that VandalS had used a knife

door.
The bullet hole III the lower part of
the door had been spiintered, and in
Sctad of being round and smooth, as it
was when ii was first introduced ill ev-

been hacked out of the door near the
bullet hole. and along the bottom of
the door are places where a knife was
