Members of House Want Pay for Attending Special
 Session Monday

Little Rock, May 19-Suit against Seate Auditor Avery E. Moore will be brought in court within short time by Speaker Allen H. Hamiter, $. J. Hunt of Pine Bluff, representative m the house from Jefferson county, and other members of the House of Representatives for the pur- pose, if possible, of compelling Auditor Moore to redeem vouch- CTS presented by legislators who attended the two sessions of the house yesterday. The real pur, pose of the suit will be to settle the question of the legality of Ac- ting Governor Pindall's procla nation revoking the call for an extra session of the legislature issued one week ago yeste1 day by speaker Hamiter. Arrange ments are now being made to bring the suit. Mandamus pro. ceeding will probably be brought against the auditor, who refuses to pay the legislators on the ground that there was no legal session.
 Seventeen members of the house, at the close of the after. noon session yesterday, obtained vouchers for mileage and one days service as representative from Speaker Hamiter and Clerk

 But not until 3:35 did the House determine to adjourn and go home. An opportunity was given for many of the members of the House to express their op- inion of the general condition of affairs in the state, and of var ious political celebreties, includ- ing governor. When the Hon. Richard Quinn of Garland coun- ty began to criticize the Hon. K. o. Pindall, acting governor, on the floor of the House, Speaker Hamiter called him down good and hard, declaring that it was not for a member of the House to criticise the governor of the state of Arkansas. There were a few cries for Quinn to proceed but he soon closed his speech with the statement that he pray ed to be forgiven for being a member of the Arkansas Legis- lature, and that he hoped to never enter another legislative assembly in this state.
 Withal the proceedings were orderly. .and without great excite ment. Cool heads were at the helm and nothing rash was pre- mitted at any stage of the game.
