bers name was called some voice at the
rear of the hail voted aye" or no"
In a few instances it has been learned
that the member SO voted was not
even in the state house and certAinly
not in the senate chamber at the line.
TIL system alsa has another clever little
plan, and that is to make such a racket
whom the roll is being called that the
voice of a senator who is not right"
fails to be heard at the desk, where
the roll clerk is busy. Thus far no
report has been heard in which this lit
tie voting proposition has been OF seri-
Gus import, but those who have seen
it at work are watching for the time
when on a close vote the system may
put something through consign
something to the scrap pile
Another little diversion of the lobby
lists at the rear of the hall is that of
voting every time viva voce vote il
taken on any proposition in which they
are interested. Important amendments
to a bill sometimes slip through by the
viva voce plan, il friends OF the bill
lose their day of grace" by scrutiniz-
ing the amendment to such length the
time in which they might demand a roll
cal is past.
1t has been observed occasionally by
those who have kept their eyes of the
system that although only two OF
three senators are seen to open their
mouths in voting, the swell of voices
which comes from the rear guard is
enough to make the big chandeliers
rattle.
And 1t has been remarked in the
senate that it is frequently difficult to
get a quorum of senators together to
transact business there has never beer
noticed a time when the third house
did not have its quorum and then some

In speaking Of this matter Senator

that he would permit nothing that was

none OF his business and would he
please cut out. The ringmaster was
willing to take a chance on anything

LAKE SHORE GIVEN
PERMISSION TO 4 TRACK

The Lake Shore railroad is to be given
the right to build four track system
through TO the east.
The House Committee on Railroads
Saturday decided to report for pass
age the Proctor bill. providing that
railroads may condemn property for
right of way for four-track lines. An
amendment was added to prevent the
measure from conflicting with the law
governing right of way and condemna-
ton procedures before the India ma
Railroad Commission. Bernard Korbly.
an attorney, appeared before the COM
mittee and expressed the opinion that
the bill would not protect property
owners. The committee agreed 20
recommend for passage the Wood bill,
authorizing railroad companies to take
stock in companies organized to build
terminal stations.
