(Staff Correspondence
Helena, Feb. 19.-There was a great
calm about both chambers Of the as
sembly today, the members evidently
having had a surfeit Of the fighting
that has taken up the time Of the
legislature SO greatly to date.
The house put the sleep of death on
the bill to loan permanent funds Of
the state on Carey project bonds, by
striking out the enacting clause of the
bill. O'Neill, author of the bill, said
he had introduced it on request and
that it had been represented to him
that the. measure had been drawn by
the state land board. Responsibility
of the board was later denied, how
ever.

Byrnes' Bill.
The Byrnes public utility bill after
having been amended so as to make
of it only halfway good measure,
was passed without dissenting vote.
Representative Amin, however in ex-
planning his vote stated the position
of the progressives in brief talk in
which he said:
"In explaining my vote on this bill,
/ wish to say that yesterday we pro-
gressives tried to amend the measure
to make it really effective for good to
the people OF the state. We wanted
a new. efficient commission, but it
seems that the democratic platform
demands that the duties of the utilities
commission shall be conferred upon
the railroad commission, and the dem
ocrats' side yesterday insisted upon
so disposing of the matter. We pro-
gressives, therefore, desire to disclaim
any responsibility for the measure In
it's present shape. We are willing
that the democrats shall have all the
credit for passing this measure and
theirs shall be the blame if the people
are disappointed in it's lack of bene-
ficial results. Upon this basis l vote
aye"

The senate, in a mood of gratitude
to Lennon and Jordan whose resig-
nations from the house steering COM

crawl through a very small opening
and surrender at discretion passed
resolutions this morning of praise
onto those two members.
Two new county bills emerged from

Prior to the naming OF General

Pedro Lascurain took the oath as
president ad interim in his capacity as

After the designations of Madero and

IatrS, was called by congress to sue
cecd the retiring executive and 26
minutes later he was succeeded by
General llucrta, whom he had an
pointed minister of the interior, thus
making REGULAR the legal succession
and enabling congress to name Huerta
as provisional president.
The action taken by the special Joint
session was preceded by a lengthy de-
bate, but the ultimate result never was
doubted by those familiar with the
plan.
1t had been agreed bv Da2 and
Huerta that lIuorta should have the
presidency, and signed promises of a

DEMOCRATS
OSCAR UNDERWOOD DELIVERS
LECTURE TO HIS DISORGAN-
lZED COHORTS.

Washington, Feb. 19.-With the
priation bills, Democratic Leader I'm
derwood dropped his tariff work to-
day and lectured the democrats on the
necessity for speedy action on supply
measures.
In the course of a Colloquy with Mi
nority Leader Mann and with Repre-
sentative Roddenberry of Georgia, who
has been filibustering against the ap-
preparation bills, Representative I'm
derWood declared emphaticaly it was
not the wish of President elect Wilson
that this years appropriation bills go
over to the democratic administration.
TT is understood generally on this
side of the house, said Mr.. Mann,
"and also on the other side of the
house, that it was the inspiration of
the democratic president elect to pre-
vent the passage of these appropria
tion bills at this session of congress"
Il am not here" Mr.. Underwood re-
piled, with any authority to speak for

such statement attributed to the next
president absolutely is erroneous"

"The time has come" Mr.. Under
wood continued, when gentlemen on
the democratic side OF the house as
well as those on the other side, should
realize their responsibilities to the
American people. Any filbuster
against these appropriation bills at this
stage of the proceedings is indie
fensible.
Il am as intense a partisan as there
| is on this floor continued Mr.. Under
wood, but ! do not believe we should
allow these bills to go over
Mr.. Mann characterized the majority
as "disorganized," declaring that the
appropriation bills had been delayed
until it was impossible to get them
| through without setting aside the rules
and that he was delighted to see the
gentleman from Alabama back from
his labors in the tariff program.
