that Senator Bailey had played into the
hands of Senator Aldrich by his course
in demanding an immediate vote on the

is said, that the man who had written
1t was a liar" The senator's language
was very emphatic, and Mr.. Manning
responded that he had not had the
honor to write the story"
Mr.. Bailey said that the word honor
was emphasized in a manner intended
to be offensive. The two men were di-

the count II confirmed the decision of
the lower court, giving the mother the

that the father alone had the right to

gives to the cities Of California a right
to compel telephone and telegraph com
panies to take out franchises for erecting
