VETS Back Down.
The vets started last night rather
belligerently by asking Quackenbush to
withdraw altogether and let them settle
things according 10 their own ideas OF
fairness This was annoying to the drys
who have been expecting surrender and not
a demand for submission and the upshot of
their defiance was a compromise which IL
is hoped Will save the report OF the COM

by the senate committee and after a con
ference he was given his coveted place
as chairman OF the insurance committee

brought up again and tabled by a forty.

leader, moved that the minority be given

call 20 settle the adjournment and II was
decided in that way.
In the senate the report OF Senator OILS.
- as chairman Of the committee on com
mittees, was accepted. There WAS no
chance for argument as Bartos the
