cur this week. A vote of IL to 4

was left for future action. Those for
reference were Senators Bird, Bishop,
Burke, Donald, Fairchild, Fridd,
James, Owen, Page, Stout and Thorn
as; against, Senators Blaine, Hust-
ing, Kleczka and Randolph. Senator

insanity a valid justification for di-
vorce; and one by Senator Page au-
thorizing the appointment of an addi-
tional judge in the second circuit.
The assembly also refused to take
up the matter owing to the under
standing about no new business this
week. Of the bills introduced a pa
