State House. Oct. %.

State House, Oct. 22.
AT the opening of the fourth legisla-
tive week at 10 o'clock this morning,
the much. advertised apology of Repre-
sentative Jose of johnson for his un-
parliamentary remarks last Thursday
came quickly and quietly, a few min
utes after Chaplain Ford had finished
! his morning prayer. Notwithstanding
statement from Representative Miller
of Bethel that he did not deem an
apology necessary. Mr.. Jose arose and
said he desired to make an apology.
There was the solemnity of the third
degree as Speaker Plumley asked the
House if there was objection to Mr.. Jose
making an apology No objection was
made and the member from Johnson
said If he had uttered any offensive
words he wished to "freely and pub
licly apologize for the same
Representative Hapgood thought the
House. instead of accepting an apology,
owed Mr.. Jose a vote of thanks for put
ting little life into Thursdays pro.
ceedings" However, the House was not
in the spirit of levity, and proceeded
to the morning busines. The galleries
were well filled, doubtless from the fact
that Mr.. Jose was to speak.
II took IL minutes to dissect House
bill IL regarding the perpetual case of
lots in cemeteries. Hapgood got his sec
5nd inning at this point and wanted to
amend the bill which related to persons
buried "in this state" The member
from Peru thought some provision ought
to be made for Vermonters buried at
sea. There were half dozen voices for
and against, but as l20 voted against
and 43 for the bill, the measure died.
This was about the sum total of dis
cussion at the morning session.
