Senate Leave the, State in Order to
Defeat the Purposes of the Election
Laws Passed Over the Governors s
Veto.
Nashville, Tenn, Special.-That 15
members of the State Senate have
fled the State in order to defeat the
purpose of. the recent election laws
passed over Governor Patterson's
veto is believed in well informed
circles. Z.
The 13 members, we're Friday after
noon declared in contempt Of the
Senate by that body and the ser
geant-at-arms was instructed to go in
pursuit Of the absentees.
It is declared further that the ab-
sentees will remain away during the
remaining % days of the legislative
session, thereby leaving in the hands
Of Governor Patterson the election
machinery Of the State and defeating
the expressed will Of the majority Of
both houses in passing over the pro-
test of the Governor laws designed to
deprive him of this authority.
The joint resolution providing for
a joint legislative session Friday for
the purpose Of electing the members
of the State election boards as pro-
vided for in the recently enacted
laws, and a State Treaurer and State
Comptroller, was vetoed by Governor
Patterson Friday. There was no
doubt of its passage over his veto but
the action Of the l3 members of the
Senate in remaining away from the
days session, thus preventing quo-
rum, renders action on the veto mes-
sage impossible.
If the members remain away until
the end of the regular session, it
would then be necessary for the
Governor to call special session to
enact appropriation laws and elect a
Treasurer and Comptroller. The
special session would be prevented,
under the constitution, from consid-
ering any matters not specially mem
toned in the call for the extra ses-
sion and Of course the Governor is
not expected to refer in his call to

Tex, on the night Of August 18th

A number of miscellaneous bills

A lively tilt between Speaker Can
non and Mr.. Gaines, Of Tennessee,
furnished something Of a scene.
Each claimed the other had insulted
him, and before Mr. Gaines would
take his seat the mace, the emblem Of
authority, was ordered from its place
and the, sergeant-at-arms directed to
place it before the Tennessee mem
Der. Mr.. Gaines sat down before the
official got to him and was thus spar
ed from the disgrace implied by
such acts. The last occasion on
which the mace was similarity used
was in the Fifty-fourth Congress.
After many years Of discussion of
the subject hitherto without result, a
joint resolution was adopted approx
ing plans reducing the size Of the,
House chamber.

Of the regulative power of the govern

that provision be made for federal
control affecting at least the migra-
tory fish in interstate waters" The
secretary doesn't want to apply the
interstate act to the perch,
or to subject the bass tribe to the anti
trust law; but he does have in mind
to get congress to adopt some rigor-
Gus fish protection laws which will
supplement those of the states and pre-

into interstate waters. The secretary
finds that there Is the utmost need
for protection of the fish in American
