WOULD REPEAL THE
BRIDGE BILL
REPRESENTATIVE BRADSBERRY
EFFECT - SPECIAL SESSION
PROVES A FARCE.

oIS Smpld, aug To- AC lCSASid-
ture has but the rest of this week
to work as an adjourned session
Both houses have agreed that ac-
cording to the constitution which
limits any session to SO days, next
Saturday will be the last day of the
session.
All legislation not acted upon will
die on that date, but the proceedings
IN the Schiyely impeachment trial
will not be affected. Governor Hay
will Immediately call another special
session and the trial will proceed. In
the house it is expected that the re-
medal measures that fail during this
session will again be introduced.
The Schively case is dragging and
is proving a farce all the way
through, as was expected
The house passed a resolution con-
tinuing the Halsey committee that
is Investigating the DeWolff charges
against the supreme court and reso-
luton by George r. Tenant provid-
ing that all future sessions shall be
secret and that the witnesses be in
strutced TO keep from the public and
the newspapers their testimony on
the subject on which they were
called.
Another attempt was made yes
terday to block the completion of
the purchase by the state of the We
Datchee bridge. A bill was intro
duced by Representative Bradsberry
to repeal the bill authorizing the pur-
chase This was probably done, not
because the author cared conti-
mental for the bridge matter but for
the purpose of aligning Senator
Smithson. and Representative Holm,
who feel local interest in the bridge
matter. Bradsberry belongs to the
anti-Hay and Schively cohorts.
