CARSON, Feb. 15.-A resolution to
rescind the action of the state senate
in referring the divorce bill to the conf
mittee on railroads was offered this
afternoon by Senator Seaman. It was
declared u of order by President
Sullivan after Huskey and Fulmer had
argued that it should not be consid-
cred.
An appeal from the decision of the
chair was demanded by Chaplin, Lee
and Seaman. Sullivan consulted his
rule book in order to determine by
what vote the chair can be overturned.
A motion by Arnold to take a recess
for 10 minutes was lost by a vote of
9 to II, Arnold, Huskey, Hussman,
Thatcher, Fulmcr, Carpenter, Kendall,
Keddie, Kinney voting to take a re,
cess.
The chair was declared over-ruled.
This opened the matter for general de,
bate and Huskey started a speech
against taking the bill out of commit.
tee.
Huskey took the position that II
would be unfair to consider the ques,
ton because two senator's, Buol and
Balzar, who favor the divorce bill were
absent. Buol is In San Diego.
Harrington said he would vote to
rescind the action because the refer
ring Of the bill to the railroad commit,
tee was only for delay. He branded
methods applied to him to swing his
vote in favor of the bill as most de,
spicable and that the play for time
was made In order that the same
method might be applied to certain
other senators.
A call of the house was demanded
by Fulmer and Arnold out was declar
ed out Of order. The question as to
whether the chair had been sustained
was put to a roll call and the vote was
the same on the motion to recess
Nine to sustain and II against.
A motion to adjourn to tomorrow
was declared carried by a vote of II
to 10. A roll call was demanded and
the vote was IL to 9 against the mo
ton.
Senator Harrington called for the
previous question. The previous ques
ton was put by the president and a
general discussion on rules began.
The vote on the previous question
was carried by a vote of II to 9 after
a second roll call had been demanded
The senators voted the same as on the
previous question. This rescinded the
action of the senate in referring the
bill to the committee on railroads.
Senator Chaplin then moved to in
definitely postpone the divorce bill
Sullivan declared the motion out Of
order. An appeal from the decision Of
the chair was made. A motion to ad
