home for the non.ieprous male chill
dren Of lepers parents was on the sPc
cial order Of the day and was the first
bill 10 be taken up for second read
ing.
A little cloud, AZ big as man''
hand with the fist shut, appeared or
the legislative sky when this matter
was taken up and Clerk Wise had ar
uncomfortable few minutes when II
was brought out between the Speaker
and Chairman Quinn, of the Printing
committee, that no copies Of the bill
had been typewriter as ordered. Quinn
seemed to derive grim satisfaction
out of this as once or twice before he
had FLASHED with the clerk and the
House stenographer over the matter
of typewriting bills.
Pail poured oil on the troubled
waters, however, by moving that the
House reconsider the order and go
ahead with the reading of the bill by
the clerk.
The bill passed it's second reading
without a unanimous vote. Every men,
Der seems anxious to get this highly
necessary matter through with the least
possible delay and it will come up for
final reading today.
