 resentatives who were absent during the first week of the extraordinary
 session of the legislature will be In FsS fs y,r txsfN t,s sf,st Erssssf,gipet At 3 o'clock 'slonday afternoon for the fifth Legislative day, and there was some indication sunday night that

 Believe Blockade Will End Persons interested in the consti- tutionai amendments which brought the lawmakers together believe the blockade will end during the week, and that many members will desert. 1t was pointed out that several of those who voted with the blockaders
 last week have everything to lose by
 the continued holding up of legisla- ton For instance Representatives D. B. Cobbs and F. K.
