On May 12 the time set by special
order for consideration of II. B. 12
43, to repeal S. B. $50, Acts of 1915,
having arrived the bill was taken up
on third and final reading.
Mr.. West moved to refer the bill
to the committee on judiciary.
Mr.. Elkins moved to table the mo-
tion of Mr.. West, which was done by
vote of so to 30.-H ]. p. 1890.
The pending bill was debated at
length by several members. Speaker
Cooper left the chair and made a
strong speech against the bill, bas-
ing his argument upon the theory
that it would be unconstitutional
for the reason that the general as
sembly is forbidden to take up a sub
ject more than once during any ses-
sion. I then moved the previous
question, which stopped the debate.
The roll was called and House Bill
No. 1243 failed for want of consti-
tutional majority by a vote Of 40 to

Mr.. Stanton's action made It i'm
possible for any other member to
call up the bill during that or the
two succeeding days. The vote be-
ing taken on Wednesday, the friends
of the bill could not bring It up be-
fore Saturday This only left two
days of the session as Monday, May
IS, was the last day and the final
rush of work was on hand. Nearly
every member had several local bills
he was anxious to pass and fear
that much delay might result should
any further attempt be made to re-
peal the T. p. I. law the matter was
let alone. When the contest came
on the citizens of Cookeville rallied
to the support of the school, and no
one ever had more united and de-
backing than was accorded
me. The whole burden rested on me
and had l lost my head or
slackened my vigilence the school
repeal bill would have passed the

HOW T. P.I WAS CREATED

On April 2 H. B. 1243, to repea
Senate Bill 5S6. Acts of 1915 ct. P. I
Bill was introduced in the House
by Mr.. Pafford and others and pass
ed first reading.-H. ]. p. S57.
On April S. B. 1868, a companion
bill to H. B. 1243, was introduced in
the Senate by Messrs. Stevens and
Freedle, and passed first readings.
J. p. 767.
On May passed second reading
and was referred to committee on
education.-S. ]. p. 100.
On May was reported by commit
tee without recommendation J..
p. 854.
This was the last time the bill was
ever heard of on the floor of the
Senate, and it would, in my opinion
have been promptly rejected had it
been called up on third reading. First
and second readings of bill are
perfunctory and never cause con-
test. But the House made this un-
necessary by defeating the measure.
On May H. B. 1243 passed the
House on second and was ordered
held on desk of the clerk-H. ]. p.
911
On May the bill was referred to
the committee on education with in
structions that it be returned to the
House he next mornihg.-H. J. p. 92O.
On May he bill was recommend
ed for passage by the committee
H. J. p. 969,
Inasmuch as the principal objec-
ton made to the T. P. l. law was that
it took money away from the high
schools, which charge was untrue, I
had Mr. Holladay prepare three
amendments to the T. P. I. law, each
taking funds to carry on the school
from another source. These bills I
introduced on May z as H. B. Nos.
1922, 1923, 1924, when they passed
first reading.-H. J. p. 1910
Mr. Gore introduced companion
bills in the senate.-S. J. pgs. S74,
875.
These bills were introduced in
good faith and strenuous effort
made to have any one of them agreed
to by those seeking to destroy the
school, but without avail. So the
big fight was on to finish. All the
amendments were passed on second
reading during the efforts to-agree on
one of them.
On May 10 Mr.. Pafford and others
offered House Resolution No. 81, set
ting H. B. 1243 as a special order.
Mr.. Elkins moved suspension of the
rules for immediate consideration of |
the resolution, which motion failed |
for want of the necessary two-thirds |
the vote being So to 30
Fl. J. p. 1925
Later Mr.. Elkins moved that the
speaker call the committee on rules
together to set H. B. 1243 for special
order or rejection, but Speaker
Cooper ruled the motion out of or
der.-H. J. p. 1929.
On May IL MIR. Elkins moved that
H. B. 1243 be set as special order
on converting the next day The mo-
tion failed for want of the necessary
majority by vote of SO
TO 33.-H. J. pgs. 1899, 1040.
Putnam County herald. (Cookeville, Tenn.) 1903-1922, 1920-04-22

Immediately following this roll cal
Messrs. Elkins, Caldwell, Pafford
Acree and Polk demanded that tn,
rules committee be called to consid
er setting H. B. 1243 ror special or
der Under the rules of the Hous,
Speaker Cooper was compelled to or
der an immediate meeting of the
rules committee. which is among 9th
er things, the road roller"-H. ]. p
104O.
This was the only method by which
the bill could be brought up for final
passage by majority vote of the
House.
Later the committee on rules made
majority and minority reports. The
majority report recommended that
H. B. 124S be set for special order at
IL o'clock a. m. that day, and was
signed by Messrs, Nichols, Fleming,
Barnes, Steele and Ward
The minority report recommended
that the bill be not set for special or
der, and was signed by Messrs. Writ.
Barber and Speaker Cooper.-H. ].
p. 1916.
Mr.. Nichols moved to substitute the
minority report for the majority re-
port, which motion failed by a vote
of 35 to 52.-H. J. p 1046.
Mr.. Stanton moved to table the
motion to adopt the majority report,
which motion failed by a vote of So
to 53.-H. J. psR1047.
I then moved that the special or
der Sc tfor II o'clock be postponed
until consideration of the reports OF
the committee on rules was complet-
WHICH motion prevailed.
Friends of the school then pro-
ceeded to speak upon the question
pending until after II o'clock.
Then Mr.. Stewart made the point
of order that the hour Of IL o'clock
a. m. having passed, the majority re-
port of the rules committee setting
H. B. 1243 as special order for that
hour could be no further considered.
Speaker Cooper ruled the point of
order we'll taken and further consid-
Grafton of the report out of order
H. J. p. 1047.
Later on same day Messrs. Polk,
Pafford, Elkins, Nichols, McRee, Har-
Ian and Acree presented the follow
ing demand in writing:
"Mr Speaker: We, the undersign-
ed members of the House, demand
under House Rule No. 81 that the
rules cimmittee meet immediately to
consider the setting of House Bill
1243 for special order.-H. J. p. 104S.
Speaker Cooper ordered an immed-
late meeting of the committee.-H.
J. p. 1049.
Again majority and minority re-
ports were submitted, the committee
dividing as before, to 8.
The majority report set the bill as

Chinese Girls Learn 1t to Talk to One

Another.
 Chinese women students in the Tung Flu College, Picking, China, are obliged to learn English in order to talk with one another because of the different dialects used by the student body.
 Girls from the extreme western provinces of China, who attend the school, must remain in Picking during all of the eight years required for their high school and college train- ing, because to return each summer would require six weeks for the trip one way and would cos: more than a trip to America and return.
 Girls from each of the western provinces speak a different language and they cannot understand one an- other any more than they can the girls from northern, southern, eastern or central provinces. Hence, they have adopted English as a common tongue.

The Broad Pass Coal and Develop ment Company has been formally launched at Fairbanks, for the pur- pose primarily of developing a coal minc in the Ignite fields on the east side of the Nenana river, in the Ne mana coal fields proper, and with it's articles sufficiently broad to permit wide scope of operations should it be desirable at later date. The officers of the new company are R. w. Cal derhead, president; Alex Fowler, vice president, and Andrew Jackson, su- perintendent and manager. The new company is incorporated for s5O,OOO.
 MT. Calderhead put through an ap- plication for permit to develop ten acres on Lignite creek at a point about one and quarter miles from the railroad. He says that the com pany has a vein thirty-two feet thick at that point, and believes that it will be able to furnish better grade of coal than has heretofore been pos sible. Three hundred tons of coal from the vein have already been fur nished to the Alaskan engineering commission at Nenana, and was test ed by it in it's furnaces, and gave per feet satisfaction. In fact, Engineer in Charge Frederick Browne, as a result of the 300-ton run, has given MT. Cal

 Owing to the fact that there is no road to the location of the permit, it will be necessary to haul the coal by sled over the ice across the Nenana river and store it along the line, where it can be easily handled into cars for shipment to Nenana.
