introduced in the house and passed that
body with but three votes against it.,

sage in the senate yesterday and SEN
ator Rideout, author of the original
senate resolution. asked that action be
deferred until today on account Of the
absence Of five members Of the senate.
The senate declined to grant his re-
quest and the resolution was promptly
defeated by vote Of 4 to g. Senators
Craig and Cottrell, who had previous
ly voted for the resolution, now voted
against it. The roll call stood;
