the room without any request to dis
cuss the evidence, and in view Of the
fact that the chairman's stand that
discussion was in order and they did
not attempt to discuss the case, or
indicate a desire to do so, We feel it
is their duty now to come into the
meeting and deliberate upon the evid-
ence if they desire to discuss 1t and
that the members who are present will
gladly discuss with them any matter
pending before the committee.
No report has been formulated and
the question of what the report shall
contain is a matter now up for deliber-
alton and discussion
Senator Nelson said he was of the
opinion that inasmuch as "A quorum
was not present the only motion that
could be entertained was either a mo-
ton to adjourn or motions to secure
the attendance of the committee. He
said that inasmuch as the motion
just offered related to the matter of
securing the attendance of members
of the committee the chair would put
the motion. The five members voted
for it.
Mr.. Madison moved to take a re-
cess until 2 o'clock and the motion
was seconded by MIR. James. The
chairman repeated that there was no
quorum and that the motion there
fore was not In RIDER.
MIR. Madison asked if the chair held
that only a motion to adjourn sine
die could be considered.
Mr.. Nelson said he would not OBJ
ject TO some one else putting the mo-
ton, but he thought it was not in
order and he would not put it. He
based his refusal on the ground that
a quorum not being present the only
two motions that could be entertain
ed were motions to adjourn and to
compel the attendance of absent mem
bers.
The discussion revolved about par
liamentary usage in which the mem
bers sought to commit the chairman
to an expression of opinion. Mr.. Mel
son said he would not commit him
self until he had consulted the rules
as to his powers.
L think | shall retire" he said.
Mr.. Nelson remarked the secretary
could deliver the contents of the Madi-
son resolution. The three absentees
refused TO modify their former com
munication or add anything to it.
Thereupon Mr.. Nelson left the room
