PRESIDING OFFICERS
 OF LEGISLATURE ARE
 HONOREO BY MEMBERS

President o. P. Hubbard, of the Senate, and Speaker Luther c. Hess, of the House of Representatives, were last night presented with gold watches by the members of the re. spective houses.
 The presentation to President Hub bard was made by Senator Sund- back, in short speech in which he complimented the presiding officer for his fairness and ability as pre- siding officer. The President thanked his fellow Senators in a happy speech.
 Hess Gets Surprise
 A unique program hastily arranged in connection with the presentation of the fine Howard watch to Speaker Hess completely surprised the latter. The watch had been purchased and was in possession of Representative Andrew Nerland. During an inter mission when the House was waiting for conference committees, Speaker Hess visited the Senate Chamber. All the members of the House except the Speaker were hastily assembled in the House and the door was lock ed Representative Snow was select. ed to occupy the chair, and ordered the roll called. It was disclosed that all were present except the Speaker and Sergeant-atArms T. C. Williams was instructed to arrest him and bring him before the bar of the House. Speaker Hess was taken completely by surprise. and only suspected that some joke was about to be perpetuated when he took in the solemn setting of the stage.
