The general plan OF procedure in both

be to rush supply bills through with as

avoid getting the wheels OF legislation
hoplessly clogged in the latter days Of
the session.
Thursday next IS the day set for re-

fore it, it viii be necessary to take up
other matters on assembling or adjourn
over until Monday. II IS likely one
or both houses will adjourn, as II is
expected many members viii not be able

Foraker May Wait.
Senator Foraker is anxious to get
early consideration OF his resolution for
a further inquiry into the Brownsville
affair. lie may conclude. however. not

cANF1ELD WAS READY TO QUIT.
Had Enough of Jerome After Two
Years Battle

The features at New York yesterday in
the testimony In the suit of Lawyer Johh
Delahunty against his former client, Rich-
ard A. Garfield, for counsel fees amounting
to approximately 100000, was the statement
Ly Delahunty that he had received offers
to help kill the Bowling immunity bill In
the New York state legislature, and a
statement of his account against Garfield
lie admitted on the witness stand that he
had at various times accepted loans from
Canfield and that notes unpaid would re-
duce his claim to $50. 800. Delahunty's state
ment of his bill against Garfield was read
in court
A new phase of the character of Garfield
was brought out during the cross-examin-
alton of Delahunty. 1t was after the Je-
rome raids, according to Delahunty. that
Garfield determined to assert his rights,
the rights OF every man in his own house,
and to teach the officers of the county that,
even IL he was a gambler and his house
the best-known private gambling establish
ment In the world, police officers could not
break Into his premises with impunity.
'Canfield wanted Ii understood, SAID
DeIahunty that these officers should learn
that somebody in the town was prepared
to stand on his legal rights, and that they
who violated the sanctity of his nome
should have to suffer the consequences"
Delahunty brought suits against officials
and they were kept very much alive, under
Canf.elds orders, until the Bowling bill was
passed, by which Canfield's customers could
be compelled to testify under promise or
immunity Then, having made deal for
his preservation from Jail and finding law
yers, especially Delahunty. who had work
ed to keep him out of Jail for two years
an unnecessary evil, he discharged them all,
paying them all, under protest, save Della
hunty. And he discontinued the numerous
civil suits and abandoned his intentions of
asserting his civic rights.
AS Delahunty sarcasticaiiy put 1T. Mr..
Garfield had decided to forget and forgive
the injuries to his honor and his prestige
as the prince of gamblers.
