LILLEY SHOULD TELL LILLEY
John Wesley Gaines Wants Gov
ernOr to Give Up Congress Seat.
Offers Resolution Providing that
Name BE Stricken from Roll
of the House.

Gov Lilley should tell Representative
Llley whether the resignation Of Rep
resentative Lilley is stin in the Office Of
Gov. Lilley. and whether Gov. Lilley is
going 20 accept the resignation OF Repre-
sentative LiIley
Mixing things up IN much the same de-
gree Of ENHANCEMENT as did that
wondrous person who asked How old
is Ann?" Representative John Wesley
Gaines, Of Tennessee, yesterday made the
above assertion. and even went so far
as 10 declare il was a question Of na-
tionai importance; one from which IN
manageable complications might arise
John Wesley Gaines, whose warlike
fountain Of Oratory never allows him 10
permit the enactment OF legislation where
there is "a niger in the WOodpile' with
out sending q supply Of golden speech Up
10 the seventh story of his house Of elo-
Quence and then hurling Il out the win
dow at his opponents. was al cooked and
primed when the House opened yester-
day.
He had read in the papers where George
L. IAUey. a member Of the lower branch
OF Congress, had been elected governor
OF Connecticut. he had seen even where
Mr.. Lilley had been inauguratsd. and had
read an account Of Mr.. Lilley occupying
the executive Office. Searching his
memory diligently. John Wesley had
failed 70 bring forth the recollection that
Mr.. Lilley had resigned his seat IN the
House, and John Wesley determined 70
act
So. yesterday. when the clerk had I'm
ished reading the House journal. Mr
Gaines was on his feet and made a mo-
ton dlsapprOving the Journal He gave
as his reason that Mr.. LilIey no longer
was entitled 20 his seat IN Congress; that
he was too busy as governor OF Con-
necticut
He was informed there was no mention
Of Mr.. Lilley in the journal. wheTeUp0n
he showed the House he was loaded for
action, and presented a resolution pro-
viding that his name be stricken from
the roll and that his seat be declared va
cant. Serene z. Payne. Of New York.
moved that the matter be referred 10 the
judiciary Committee. with instructions
for a report within ten days
Representative Higgins, OF New York.
Informed the House he believed the resig-
nation Of Mr.. Lilley had been sent TO
Gov WOodruff before he vacated the ex-
eCutive chair IN the Nutmeg State. and
that he simply had failed to notify the
Speaker.
This assertion IS what brought forth
the suggestion from Nj Gaines that Mr.
Lilley should inform himself whether his
resignation had been accepted.

amendment providing that United Ststas
marines shall be assigned TO duty on
