Especial Dispatch to the Morning Jonrnal.l
Santa Fe, N. NJ, June b.-There
were two interesting measures
brought before the house of repre-
sentatives at the morning session. and
for little while It looked like there
might be repetition OF the stormy
scenes which have occurred from
time to time during the session.
| Immediately after the house con-
vened, Mr.. Burg introduced set OF
resolutions with lengthy preamble.
the substance of which was to reiter-
| ate the determination of the house
not to go into a joint session with the
senate for the purpose of electing q
United States senator. There was no
organized opposition to the resolu-
tions and on a roll call they We're
adopted by vote OF 40 to 3. Messrs.
Sanchez, Toombs and Tully voting
against them.
The resolutions providing an APP
preparation for paying tho expenses
Of the investigating committee
brought on considerable discussion.
and for few tense moments II look
ed like there might be trouble. Mr..
Blanchard opposed the resolution on
the ground of extravagance. Mr..
Lleweliyn favored 1t, declaring that
the money would be we'll spent II y
accomplished tho result for which u
was intended. Mr. catron undertook
10 argue the question against tho res
olution. but was uut OFF by call TOR
the previous question.
When Mr.. Catron's name was
reached on the roll call, he arose to
explain his vote, and undertook to
make the argument which no had
been prevented from making when
the previous question was called. Be-
fore he had proceeded very far, Mr..
Carter, made the point of order that
Mr.. Catron was not explaining his
vote, but was arguing the merits OF
tho bill.
Speaker Baca sustained the point
Of order and ordered Mr.. Catron toy
be seated. Mr.. Catron would not be
seated and Insisted on his right to
explain his vote. declaring that he
had violated no rule Of the house.
Two or three times Speaker Baca
ordered Mr.. catron to be seated, but
Mr. Catron refused to obey orders.
Finally, the speaker ordered the SER
geant- -at-arms to make Mr.. Catron
sit down.
As the serseant-at-arms startcd to-
ward Mr.. Catron. Mr.. blanchard
arose from his seat and started In
the same direction. Mr.. Blanchard
evidently meant business. and if
show OF force had been necessary on
the part of the sergeant-at-arms there
is no doubt that lively times would
have followed. Just as the sergeant-
alarms reached Mr.. Catron, now
ever, the latter. who had been talk
ing with might and main all the
while, exclaimed: "For these reasons
vote no." and sat down. There was
then no occasion for trouble. The res
olution was passed.
