WOULD FORCE AN
ABRUPT ENDING
Senator kuchIer Moves an Ad-
iOurnment of Present Ses-
sion of Legislature.
WILLIAMS AVERTS DANGER
SERGEANT AT ARMS HkIES AB-
SEkTEES TO CHAMBER.

Senator Rudolph kuchler yesterday al
most succeeded in bringing the present
session of the state legislature to an alb
rupt close. At noon yesterday he moved
to adjourn. instead of TO saunter'' and
sought to have the question put to 81 vote
of the senator's Though clearly IN 10
lation OF all the rules of procedure. Sen
ator Williams, who was in the chair. de-
clined TO entertain the motion, ruling the
mover out of order. BY rule Gf the
senate. as well as every other Dari.a-
1nentary body. motion TO adjourn is al
ways in order. The chair feared. how
ever, that the senators might be caught
mapping and made the ruling in order to
protect the senate from an adjournment
while there were yet important bills to
be considered.
Wher the 'sauntering'' commenced
there was a pretty passage of words be
tween Senator Kuchler and Senator Badg-
er. the leaders of the rival factions Of
the senate which have been qHarreiinC
ali through the session. Senator Badger
undertook to rebuke Senator kuchler for
attempting to adjourn the legislature. fhe
senator from Weber retorted that the
embryo Sale Lake statesman and others
had been injecting kindergarten tactics
into the legislature; that such actions
were puerile and foolish" He said that
the session had been prolonged by Sena-
tor Badger moving for reconsideration aft-
eT reconsideration on almost every bill
that came up.
In the afternoon tel senator's met. DAt
Immediately after the session was CALI
to order several left for the house, at
tracted by the prohibition oratory. In
able to keep a quorum President Gard
ner announced that the senate would
''saunter'' until o'clock today. The re-
naming senator's got together and called
in other senators until there was a quo-
rum. ana insisted on proc esdng. On mo-
ton of Senator Bennsr Y. Smith the ser
geant-at-arms was instructed TO bring
in the absentees. President Gardner said
he doubted the right to force the attend
ance of any member since the senate was
operating after the legal day OF adjourn
ment. Senator Smith insisted that the
sergeant at-arms had the right to arrest
any member who refused to come and to
bring him by force to the senate. There
was a possibility. he said, that under such
circumstances the courts might grant
writ Of hsbeas corpus, but, in such a case.
he said the courts would have to con-
strue all action taken after the legal day
of adjournment illegal. If the senate had
the right to convene after the legal day
of adjournment. he said, il had the right
to force the attendance of its members.
Under this motion Senator Bulen was
arrested in the house chamber and
hailed to the senate. The senator was losth
to leave the heated arguments of the
house. but there was no alternative, for
big Dan James. the seFgeant-at-arms,
seemed ready to carry out TO the letter
the orders OF the senate, and Senator Bull
len maze no resistance

LEGISLATORS ENJOY
AUTOMOBILE OUTING

As guests OF the Salt Lake Automobile
club, members of the legislature and otn-
ers enjoyed a delightful spin through the
city yesterday BY automobiles. Orson IL
Hewlett. president Of the club, directed
the arrangements. and though he was
somewhat Handicapped by the fact that
some of the alfalfa members brought all
their relatives to the third and fourth
degree. he succeeded admirably. Scores
of machines were provided and al the
guests were well taken care of. J. O.
Mcdonald distributed boxes of chocolates
The outing vas provided by the Auto
mobile club as a mark of appreciation
to the legislature for passing the good
roads bills. The speed limit was smashed
at frequent stages of the tour and the
lawmakers were not satisfied with any
thing less than forty miles an hour. The
trip proved a splendid argument for good
roads.

A month before election the dominant
church took action in its official capacity,

tC use all proper influence on the MEM
bers of their legislature to close the sa-
looms. The able senator finds fault with
the fact that no Interpretation was placed
on this resolution until about a week be
fore the legislature met. While the an
swer might be given that the only way
this legislature can close the saloons Is
by ensctinS prohibition law. the peO-
pie themselves would DO it if local op-
ton were given; yet what difference does
il make? This resolution was not a 20
litical platform on which men accepted
nomination What did it matter so that
the church defined its position if there
was any doubt before the legislature met.
For all practical purposes that was early
enough. and the principle remains the
same whether the declaration was made
in October or January Is the church
censurable because il adopted BY unani-
nous vote resolution that proper in
fluences should be used on this legisla-
ture to close the saloons?
