Several days ago resolution prohibiting public stenographers from using the house committee room was adopted. Since then one stenographer has been oper- ating machine in the extreme north west corner of the speakers desk
 The discussion yesterday afternoon was started when Mir. Oliphant of Fulton introduced a resolution prohi- biting anyone from operating a type writer on the floor of the house. The resolution was voted down, after which MT. Glover of Hot Springs in- troduced a resolution providing that table be furnished in the house chamber to Miss Edna Bradford, of Jefferson county, stenographer, for her use MT. Glover spoke in behalf of his resolution, stating that he was in favor of giving all the young wo- men the same chance.

The prompt discovery of fire which threatened to destroy a cot tage at No. 1923 Georgia street. oc- cupied by w. M. Brandon, negro, yesterday afternoon prevented the cremation of three small negro chil- dren who had been left their by their parents and whose playful antics were responsible for the blaze. The children played with fire and set fire to box in one of the rooms. A neighbor saw the smoke coming from the house and after pulling the little negroes from the house into the street gave the alarm. The fire department responded and extinguished the fire, hut not until the interior of the room was badly damaged.

He stated that he be l1eved the action of the house in con- s1dering the matter would prove to be "hint" that would bring the re- suits desired by those who had voted for the Oliphant resolution. Mir. Lit tie Of Mississippi spoke along the same line, after which MT. Glover stated that he would withdraw his resolution until today and in the event the stenographer on the floor Of the house abandoned her work there he would not again present 1t.
 On motion of MT. Winn of Pulaski all of the controversy over the question was taken from the records.
