That is one reason why raised the point of order. have confidence. also. in the integrity of the men of Mobile who have invited that they would not invite this Leg rupting it.
 of order was that I have heard enough of this talk. of corruption of the Leg fslature, and I boped that the gentle man would take nis seat and relieve this portion, of the House of his pres ence. as well as his language.

 This disposed of the question, with the exception of some formaIities. which were attended to without oppo- sition of any kind.
 Renew Fight In Senate.
 In the Senate. when the joint resolu- tion for the Mobile trip came over the old controversy was revived. Before the Senate disposed of it, lively time was had.
 Senator Lusk first moved that the joint resolution be so amended that the clerks of the House and the Senate and the members of the House and Senate not receive any pay for the time the Senate was in recess for the Mardi Gras. This motion was tabled by the close vote of 13 to 12
 Mir. Lusk then offered another amend ment which provided that no Senators and no members of the House should receive their pay during the Mardf Gras recess.
 This amendment is offered, because nf the haFG nhiaCtod n Wifn- drawing the payment of the clerks, some of whom might be compelled to work on the records during the re- however. the Senate viii not take that Mardi Gras trip. You remember the harsh criticism. the talk Iuat followed that last Mardi gras trip and which was partially resp%nssi6i,s p,ns ,I foF the the great ent distinguished Governor in the ex- ecutive chair.

 Senator Hays created a ripple of laughter when he said:
 T thought going to Mobile was one of the duties of Senator. That's the way my people look upon it. I'm sure they would not object to my getting the $4 day. They know I'm worth more than 't day tS o them |, If I5sm they ,s6t dS5t think I ought to be paid mileage on the Mobile trip"
 Senator Lusk's second amendment was voted down, II to 10.
 Senator Hamburger then proposed a resolution which declared that 1t was the sense of the Senate that the Senator from Marshall and the other Senators who voted with him should return to the State Treasury the money they had received for pay on the days on which the Senate was not in session.
 That resolution is beneath the dig given any consideration" said Mir. Lusk with some feeling.
 "Fortunately" retorted MT. Ham, burger, there are men in the Senate who don't have to take their opinions from the gentleman from Marshall"
