be no prospects for a recess OF the Leg
lslature tomorrow for 30 days as has
been suggested even should the School
Code resolution, naming commission
TO revise the law, be acted on favorably
by The House. Il was intimated that an
effort would be made to recess for o0
days and then come back TO near The
School Code Commissions recOmmen-
datlons as to amendments.
Speaker Corblt stated this morning
that he did not think there was a chance
Of that branch recessing tomorrow for
, a month or two weeks.
"Nly personal vieNv," added Speaker
Corbit. "ls that we should get through
next week. In my opinion there Is
much on the calendar that could walt
until next session. but I do not know
how the other members feel about
that"

oppose any long recess, and they are In

Early this morning there were ru-
mors around the corridors that the
Senate would act today on the Walker
ratification resolution. but Senator

is feeling that the resolution could
be passed IN the senate II converts
enough could be secured 10 assure
favorable action by the House. The
best that can be counted for suffrage
In the House under most favorable
conditions Is said 10 be i3 votes.

OF fhe Legislature for two weeks or a
MONTH want 10 delay vote on the
suffrage resolution IN the senate until
after the Republican State convention,

ing senator Walker TO report out the
suffrage resolution and get a vote on
II without much further delay. In
fact some persons want Senator
Walker 10 call t up for nnal action
this afternoon.
