HOUSE QUORUM PRESENT.
Count Reveals Six More Than Re-
quired Number.

The threat Of Majority Leader Payne
last Thursday that he would resort to
measures to compel the attendance OF
members in the House today unless a
quorum was present had the desired ef-
feet. Several more than a quorum were
in their seats when the House was called
to order.

however. Mr.. Macon (Ark.). following
the course pursued by him for some weeks
past. raised the point OF no quorum. The
Speaker counted aO2. six more than a
quorum. In the meantime three addi-
tional members announced their presence.
The Speakers count was not at first
satisfactory to Mr.. Macon. He demanded
that the result be ascertained by tellers.
He later Withdrew the demand and ac-
quiesced In the Speakers announcement.
Although general debate on the Porto
Rican bill has been exhausted. unanimous
consent was given that It should continue
for two hours longer.
AS soon as the bill was taken up Mr..
Payne admonished his colleagues that
they should remain throughout the day
and thus maintain the quorum which had
been obtained.
The pending question was an amend
ment by Mr. Borland (Missouri). limiting
the operation Of the proposed law to one
year. 1t instantly met with opposition
from Mr.. Olmsted (Pennsylvania). but
found favor with Mr. Slayden (Texas).
who declared that while opposed to the
general proposition he was willing to
support a measure Of tyranny for one
year. for that was better than anarchy"
