Speaker Holstein called the last session
of the house of 1911 to order.
Some of the representative were alb
sent, many in the lobby, where des-
perate effort was being made by a mum
Der of lobbyists to get reconsideration
of the Fairchild resolution.
The Speaker sent sergeant-at-arms
Kahale out to look for the missing
ones, but he was not very successful.
However, there was quorum present
to start with and the final proceedings
commenced. But every little while Kas
hale had to slxirmish around and break
up some apparently important CONVEX
sations.
But although some of the represen-
tatives were wanderers there was
rather distinguished appearing audi
ence seated in the back of the hall and
in vacant chairs along the wall, almost
as far as the Speakers desk, great
many Of whom were women and pretty
girls. Altogether it was bright scene,
with all the old throne rooms crystal
chandeliers blazing with light, reflected
on white and bright dresses and the
gay scene beneath.
By special order reports of commit
tees were made by their chairman oral
ly. The first report was on ii. r. IA,
which was simply that it be tabled
and the unknown measure died sud
denly and hash It even headstone.
Last Word for Poi
But the next report by Chairman
COney, of the health committee, was
to table house resolution 12O. This was
one of the poi resolutions introduced
by Archer, and there was trouble right
away.
Coney stated that the committee
found it impossible to carry out the
provisions of the resolution to find out
If a certain patient declared to have
died of cholera from eating poi had
really died of cholera from that cause
or not, as the body had been erematec
and the poi destroyed.
But Archer was not satisfied. He de
.clared the committee did not want t.
make the Investigation demanded, ant
that the unfortunate young man Nigh
have died of heart disease, for all tn
committee knew, and it was something
the people ought to know about, as /
was possible these deaths were not du
to cholera at all or caused by pol.
Coney referred to the record of tn
health committee during this session
asserting it had made record no mem
Der was ashamed of, and then he move
the adoption of the report tablIng tn

Coney also reported in favor OF tai
ling HI. B. 261. providing for reorgaT
ization of the pharmacy board an
paving of fees to its secretary. ID
said that there had been no time t
properly examine into the merits 0
this bill. and while he believed it col
tanned much that was good, he coul
not recommend its passage, 1t die
properly.
