SPRINGFIELD, H., June 29.-The

bill was read and referred to the com.

The session ended in strong pro.
test Of the Deneen men at the action
of Speaker Adkins in appointing anti
Deneen men on the committee. The
protests were so strong that it was
thought to adjourn without ending
the matter. After their all night
vigil the members reported at IL
o'clock in the morning. A roll call
showed no quorum present. A sec
ond roll call showed a quorum.
Judah demanded the bill he ad-
vanced without referring 1t to the COM
mittee, but this was lost &C to 4S.
The only hope of the Deneen men is
now to have the records corrected
making today's session an adjourn
ment Of the session of yesterday, thus
showing the bill to have come up for
it's first reading at this session.
