The two houses adopted a concur
rent resolution on Monday fixing
o'clock yesterday afternoon as the
time for adjournment sine die.
The House clock had been stopped
at 2.45 o'clock and as the resolution
fixing adjournment for 3 o'clock had
not been rescinded there was con-
siderable excitement when a mem
Der moved to recess until Z o'clock.
Speaker Paskey could not figure out
how the House that was supposed
to adjourn sine die at o'clock
could recess until o'clock, four
hours after the time set for adjourn
ment.
There were demands from the
floor that the House recess and then
continue in session last night until
some agreement could be reached.
Speaker Paskey settled the matter
for the time being when these mo-
tions for a recess were repeated by
declaring a recess for the present" b"
How long have we recessed
for?" some member shouted from
the floor.
For a long time 1 hope" Speaker
| PasSey replied amid much laughter.
Representative Otwell moved that
| the House adjourn sine die but the
I Speaker declared the motion could
not be entertained, as the House was
in recess.
In the meantime the Senate got
busy. Senator Price had his resolu-
ton prepared Identical with the de-
fcated Clendaniel resolution. 1t was
unanimously adopted by the Senate
without debate and rushed TO the
House. The resolution was at once
read and Representative Clendaniel
moved its adoption.
This brought forth another TRADE
! from the opponents Of the resolution
but some Of the members were anx-
| ious to get home and changed their
votes, making adoption Of the reso-
luton possible.
Representative Otwel insisted
that the House should not leave DO.
( yer until the job OF making tho
budget had been finished.
we have spent two days here lik,
a lot Of clowns" exclaimed Repre-
sentative Lord IT'S a good thini
Barnum's circus is not here. It hai
become a farce"
Representative Kramer said in
stead of considering educational bill

. bring them back to Dover.
