hide himself and his political asso-

THAT is one of the measures i had
in mind Senator Robinson said.

Senator Robinson declared the only
important measure reported by the

attention that those in charge of that
measure had asked yesterday for a
postponement of action on the two
most vital features because they were
not ready for n vote and that the
Senate then took m the calendar and
disposed of all pending measures on
which it desired 10 act.
