anytnlng seriously. The members act
ed like lot of colts turned out to
pasture, and for a while refused TO

The irrepressible Major Llewellyn

The reading of this resolution
naturally caused much laughter, espe-
,ially that portion of 1t which pro-
yided that the ethics of the American
Medical association should govern
n all cases arising under the bill,
I'd as a sly dig at Mr.. Catron, the
author of the amendment to the med
cal bill which has caused so much
discussion throughout the state.
Mr.. Catron was game, and came
back at the major in the same spirit
n which the resolution was offered.
He recognized, he said, the vast i'm
lortance of some such legislation as
his. and in order that it might be-
'ome effective az the earliest possible
moment he moved the appointment
If committee of three to confer
With similar committee from the
enate. with a view to expediting the
passage of the resolution as much as
possible.
A running fire of Josh" motions
md speeches followed. Mr.. Skid
more wanted certified copies of the
esolution presented to Hon. James
flynn and Hon. John Arthur John
on. Mr.. Burg thought 1t was pr
matter for the American
Red Cross to deal with. Mr.. Nichols
Explained that the members Of the
LOWS convention had been misled
nto the belief that the Tripp fight I
ill had already become a law.
Mr.. smith. OF Luna, scored heavily ,
or the democrats when he reminded
fajor Llewellyn that the trouble az :
LOWS had arisen out of the fact that
he delegates 10 the democratic con- ,
ention were Independent American :
itizens who acted on their own in ,
tiative. and added that the recent /
would never have oc- :
urred IL. like the republicans AT
ANITA re, they had taken orders from ,
Room SO of the Palace hotel.
The resolution was duly and sol {
mnly passed. as was also Mr.. Cat /
on's motion for the appointment OF I
committee of three. Messrs. Catron,
louise and Blanchard were appo'nteo
n the committee and Immediately T
rithdrew to perform their duties.
hey presented the resolution TO the
enate To the very great astonishment
f that sedate body. which was en-
eavoring at the time TO make noise
Ike real work. sir. Holt expressed
ne opinion that the deliberations OF ,
he senate had been rudeiy inter
upted.''
