HOUSE KILLS
THE RECESS

Bismarck. N d .,Jan. 25--That the
house will not always follow the ex-
ample set by the senate. was shown
Saturday afternoon when the senate
resolution calling for an adjournment
from Tuesday until the following
Tuesday was voted down in the
house.
When the resolution was first
brought up 1t was sought to amend
lit to read from Thursday to Tuesday.
This proposed amendment was voted
down by narrow margin and then
when the vote was taken on the ori-
ginal adjournment motion, the ad-
journment lost by a very narrow mar
gin.
There was quite an outburst of ora
tory over the adjournment question.
Treadwell Twichell stated that the
legislature had made the best start it
ever had in the history of the state
and he was for sticking on the Job un-
til it was cleaned up. Only those who
were opposed to the adjournment made
any remarks. 1t is probable that the
matter will come up again lste this
afternoon. There are great many
members who state there swiil surely
be an adjournment for time at least,
as there are private matters OF busi-
ness which demand their attention.
One is in favor of the adjournment
stated 'It is a mighty poor h,aa who
can come here and stay for two
months and not need to go home once
or twice to look after his private in
terests. The fellow who can get eway
for that length of time would make a
mighty poor representative. AS for the
