/ it's report, which was. adopted by the

port says:
T'Your select committee to whom
was referred House Concurrent Resolu
ton No. 10 relating to the Bonnie
| Poi Eating Films beg leave to report
| that we have met Mr.. BONNIE and be
| informed as that he had already caused
| the Objectionable film to be discarded
and destroyed, which he did at the
time he received the first intimation
of any one being hurt by its exhibition
and before the resolution was received
in the Senate. Mr.. BONNIE expressed
his sincere regret for being the cause
of innocently creating such adverse
feeling to what he had regarded as a
means of illustrating in some graphic
manner and with humorous tend, a
scene which might depict an oldtime
custom which is almost thing of the
past.
Your committee feel that the action
of the House was justified in promptly
expressing their feeling as to what
they deemed very Objectionable; but,
as the same is now beyond any future
use, the committee therefore recon-
mend the said Concurrent Resolution
of the House be tabled.
