Afternoon Session.
The afternoon session of the house
was one series of sensations and
fights. One sensation followed so
closely on the heels Of another that
it was hard to distinguish them.
AS an opener for the afternoon
show Collins offered a resolution call
ing for an investigation of the rumors
that there had been v~ote-tradtng
among the members of the assembly.
The investigation committee is to be
composed of three members from the
house and two from the senate. The
constitution provides that no member
shall agree to vote for any measure
because he is assured of supper for
his measure by so doing. ANY mem
Der of the house or senate who enters
into any agreement of votes or trades

punishment by laW. 1t is looked upon

Many talks We're both for and

that he would criticize the senators
who persisted in coming into the house
to lobby. Continuing, he said: 1T

the members from the senate off the
floor there would be less dissention in
This house"
Many did not want to go on record
as against the resolution for fear of
attracting attention, so the more stall
