ate bill No. 10. as amended, do pass.
Said senate bill occupied the twenty
second position under general orders.
as evidenced by the house calendar of
Saturday, March 8, 1917. Such pro-
ceedings were irregular because said
committee proceeded to the consider
alton OF senate bill ITO without set
ting aside house bill No. 80 and house
bill No. 50. which occupied posi-
ton in advance of said senate bill No.
40. The rules, therefore, of this house
were disregarded, in that rule XxXIII
provides That unless the committee
shall otherwise order. bills committed
to the committee of the whole shall be
first read through and then read by
sections and clauses, leaving the title
to be last considered This rule was
violated in that no action was had or
taken regarding said house bills Nos.
90 and 80, and therefore, the pro-
ceedings Of the house, attention to
which was called by Representative
Johnston, when he asked for a recon
sideration of the adoption of the re-
port of the committee, were violated
and the proceedings were irregular
and unparliamentary."

Meets Senate's Approval.

There were three bills pass
ed by the senate Saturday that are
considered of more than ordinary i'm
portance, for the first seeks to so re-
wise the primary law as to provide for
the election of delegates to county and
state conventions of the two parties
and the holding of proxies, the second
making 1t possible for cities to come
under the city manager plan, and the
third revising the terms and places for
holding the supreme court.
The primary amendatory bill was
introduced by Senator Hill and others

law as was demonstrated last year at

sion is made in the new bill that
proxies cannot be held by dele
gates in conventions except Ivy
delegates or a qualified resident

dents of the county or delegates in a
state convention.

The members OF tne Catholic Wo-

joyed an interesting program Wednes-
day afternoon in their hall with Mrs.

much interested in the current topics,

by Mrs. George Steele, was deeply in

was adopted by a vote on rollcall of
80 to %. Johnston moved a reconsid-
GRAFTON of the vote. He held it to be
unwise to proceed further on so i'm
portant a matter as the record was
not clear as to the forcing of the bill
to the top of the calendar ahead of
other bills. The majority voted down
the motion by a vote of 81 to rs.
MCGOWAN charged that the entire
proceeding with reference to the &C
ton Of the house on the senate bill was
irregular and unparliamentary. John
ston held the protest to be personal
privilege. MCGOWAN asked to have the
charge and protest entered on the
journal. Anderson of Canyon and
Bates of Ada objected. The speaker
held that a protest with reference to
action taken in committee of the whole
could not be entered. Johnston said
that the protest was not with refer
ence to action in the committee. The
speaker refused to permit the protest
being entered as a personal privilege
and held that he was not in a posi-
ton to take cognizance of a protest
against action in the committee Of the
whole. Johnston said he would revise
the protest later. MCGOWAN offered his
protest in writing. Moody prevented
its adoption by moving an adjourn
ment to Sunday morning. The Re
publicans offered an amendment that
the adjournment be to Monday morn
ing. The amendment was lost. The
house adjourned to 10 a. m. Sunday
morning.
PROTEST FILED.
The speaker permitted part of the
MCGOWAN protest to go into the rec
ord or that part which did not refer to
the committee of the whole. Bates and
Anderson of Canyon moved that the
entire matter be expunged from the
record. The question then arose as to
expunging from the record something
that had not as yet appeared in the
journal. Bates moved a call of the
house. but an adjournment was taken.
The following is McGowan's protest
in which Johnston joined:
mr.. Speaker: We desire to make
the following charges against the
procedure of the house in adopting
the report pertaining to senate bill

ATTORNEYS UNDER
EXAMINATION BY
LAYMEN IN court
w. A. Buis Questions Law.
yers Who Are Put on the
Witness Stand at Hearing
on Receivers Claim.

A new phase of the civil suit Of E.
w. Yeomans and X. l. Perky versus c.
ii, l.amberton was heard by Judge Nc
Carthy in district court Saturday af-
ternoon. This time w. A. Buis, who
was appointed receiver of the Lamber-
ton Investment Company, appeared
as attorney in his own behalf and
sought to have allowed claim of SIPS
for office rent and stenographlc hire
for a period of 25 months. The rent
charges were fixed by the receiver at
SIS per month and the stenographer
hire at $50.
Senator Perky, Frank T. Wyman and
Henry Johnson, attorneys in the Lam
berton case gave testimony to the eff
feet that they had understood that Mr..
Buis was appointed receiver at a sal
airy of $3.50 per month and that, as he
had an office in which he was doing
business and would need no assist
ance, there would be no other expenses
attached to his receivership work
LAWYERS c'RoSS-ExAMINED
Mr.. Buis contended that he had
spoken to all the attorneys concerning
the rent and stenographer hire and al
so to the court or rather had present
ed the matter in minutes of meet
ing held in the court room at which
other questions came up and at which
the salary and other expenses were dis
cussed
Buis cross examined Messrs Perky
Wyman, Johnson and Yeomans in an
effort to show that their memory was
poor and that they failed to remem-
Der other things which transpired at
the meeting. The attorneys all tes-
titled that it was understood when Mr..
Ruis was engaged that he could be Sc
cured for $3.50 per month and that the
only additional expense would be sta
tionery, stamps and such incidentals.
HAD ExPERTED BOOKS.
Mr.. Yeomans testified that Mr.. Buis
agreed before being appointed receiver
that he would be glad to take the place
at SIPS per month and that only the
expenses of stationery would be extra
Acting upon that representation he
urged that Mr.. Buis be appointed and
for the further reason that he had pre-
viously exported the books of the In
vestment company.
Judge Mccarthy took the case under
advisement to look into the records to
ascertain if there were other references
in any of the files which would bear
out the statements of the minutes of
the meeting taken by Mr.. Buis and fill
ed in court as a part of the receivers
proceedings.
