With Enough of Members
Present, House Did Con-
siderable Work

or majority of members present in the
House, Mr.. Hapgood of Peru this morn
ing asked for rising vote on the first
measure under consideration and the vote
being less than the required majority, he
Immediately demanded the rollcall, to as
certain ii there were a sufficient mum
her in attendance to act on the bills on
the calendar. One hundred and thirty
nine answered TO the rollcall OF names,
the first called for since the session
opened and the business was continued,
though at one time it looked as i thc
members would be eooped up until the
sergeant at arms brought in enough to
make the majority required.
Mr.. SouIe Of Alburg, preceding the
rolIcall. moved that adjournment be tax
on. but his motion was lost by an over
whelming majority, following the eA-
PLANTATION Of the speaker that II ADJOURN
ment was taken Mondays business would
be slight and the work Of the leglsla-
ture delayed accordingly.
Seventeen more bills were introduced,
making the total introduced but six shy
Of the 800 mark The reyisers also have
another big batch ready, IL is understood
for Monday and Tuesday.
Fifteen bills were on the calendar with
reports from the respective committee,
ali reported fayorably with the exception
OF six. House bill 2ll, relating TO a'ie-
tioneer's licenses, was ordered to lie, as
there il section in the omnibus bill
which relates to the subject. House 23f,
relating to the providing of school en-
dowmcnt forests was also laid on the Ia
ble. after several spoke against the adop-
tion of the measure.
The session closed amid much eonfu-
sion, when Mr.. Hapgood arose TO protest
against the third reading of House bill
242 relating 10 the sale of meat and hsh
on public highways. The gentleman
from Peru began 70 quote from an edi-
torial az the Rutland Herald in regard
TO sfoolish legislation" and asserted that
the committee had fostered the bill TO
please somebody" Mr.. Stone Of Yer
gennes called Mr.. Hapgood 10 order and
the speaker ruled that Mr.. Hapgood was
out of order. Resuming his attack on
the bin and all such bills in general, Mr..
| Hapgood was greeted with the slamming
of desks but he smihngly asserted that
they had got hold OF the wrong man to
worry in that fashion"
Applause greeted Mr.. Russell OF lras-
burg when he said that il the legislature
wished to establish record Of long
session. then Mr.. Hapgood was taking
| the proper course.
Despite the small number present, the
session was the most stormy held since
the members convened, exactly a month
ago to-day. and the speaker was given a
hearty hand when after adjournment was
| taken. he thanked the members who had
attended the morning session and made
/ il such a successful one.
