HOLDS SUNDAY SESSION
Speaker BeardsIee Avoids Risk of In
validating Legfslature,s Acts

SACRAMENTO. Feb. 3.-In order to
avoid risk of invalidating all acts of
the present Legislature the Legisla-
ture was called to order today by
Speaker Beardslee. No quorum was
expected, and no one was disappoint-
ed. Four members showed up, and the
session lasted just long enough for an
industrious clerk to record an ad-
5ournment until tomorrow morning
Sunday session, in the opinion of
Speaker Beardslee, was made neces-
sary by the lack of a quorum Friday.
He held that the law required an ad-
Journment from day to day. Others
took different view, but he pre-
ferred to be on the safe side.
The trouble was all due to the
absence of four junketing committees
at the same time. However, most of
the pleasure-seek have completed
their visits, and the managers of the
session are confident that the necessary
quorum will be present in the morning.
