he would not oppose the amendment in, another shape, a provision for the appointment by the governor of the members with and by the advice and consent of the boards of supervisors. After the defeat of the Roberts amendment, MT. WinsQr reverted to this suggestion and offered it as the basis of an amendment to the Goodell amendment. Mir. Sutter then made it a little stronger; he said that custom arily when the advice and consent of an approving body was withheld from sn appointment made by the governor. the appointee proceeded to the dis charge of his duties anyhow. He should, therefore. require the amend ment to state that the appointee should not serve until his appointment had been definitely approved by the super visors. MT. Winsor accepted that ad- dition and Mir. Goodell accepted the amendment
 That was then written into the bill. Wilkinson Attacks Bill
 MT. Wilkinson made a vigorous speech against the bill as amended. He did not believe that that would re, suit in an efficient council of defense. It was his belief that the present coun. cil should be legalized and continued He had he said, entertained that be- lief from the beginning of the session. Certainly no new council would be as well prepared to carry on the work as the present council with it's experience. Its work had been excellent. How ever able new members might be it would take them at least six months to arrive at the point of efficiency at. tained by the present council.
 No Effort at Perpetuation MT. Wilkinson said that he had con ferred with MT. Heard. chairman of the state council with reference to such bill legalizing the present council but Mr. Heard said that neither he nor any other member of the council could with consistency and good taste SUD- port it or any measure tending to per, petuate one in office.
 In conclusion MT. Wilkinson said that he would offer an irregular motion that it was the sense of the senate that the present council be legalized.
 President Claridge took the floor and spoke strongly against the motion. He acknowledged the excellent work of the council but he foresaw an inter- minable delay and moreover, he did not believe that such a bill could be put through the legislature. Bill Means Greater Delay
 Replying to MT Carriages argument against delay, MT. Wilkinson said greater delay, much greater, would be incurred by putting a new council of defense at work. The motion of MT, Wilkinson was defeated without di- vision.
 On receipt of the bill in the house there were indications that 1t was un- satisfactory to both of the factions there, for it cannot be hidden that there are two factions. One favors restoration to the governor of the pow CT the senate amendment took from him and the other favors the removal of the vestige that remains.
 An Early Adjournment There was considerable talk yester- day of an early adjournment. Most of ! the members of both houses said that | they saw no reason why the war legis- | lative program could not be completed | by next Saturday night. A half dozen members said they would adjourn at that time whether the legislature ad- journed or not. One of them will necessarily leave, Senator Hall of Mar icopa who has enlisted in the 27th l Engineers and within little more than a week will be on his way to France He will have a good deal to do in the meantime preparing his affairs for his departure.
 Speaking of his enlistment, he said that he had been designated as a re- cruiting officer but having been unsuc- cessful in persuading others to join he had to make some sort of a showing and had enlisted himself.
 At the Morning Session The morning session of the senate is one that will not be soon forgotten Trouble descended like cyclone in the reading of the journal of the Saturday session in which it appeared that Mr. Roberts had made a long and vigorous protest against the passage of the Campbell l. w. W. resolution. The protest set forth most of the heated remarks that Mir. Roberts had made a, 1 the time informally, and not with an understanding on the part of his col leagues that they should become a part of the record. Senators Sutter anc Campbell attacked the protest with bit terness and MT. Roberts moves that the protest be re-referred Mr. Sutter would not consent to that easy way
 out and moved that it be ingloriouslN
