Tallahassee, Fla,, May 28, cr Farris has lost control of the tiouse just as he dil in 1909, The proceedings Monday proved it, and as proof it is only necessary to cite a (uotation from the jeurnal, as fol- lows: *“1 vote no,” suys John High, of tizmilton, “because the bill was read when the llouse was in such con- tusion that no one could tell what was in the bill.” The entire House was in confusion Monday, and half the time Speaker Iarris was not in the chair, and he had Darnell and Spencer in the chair, ard they were unable to hold the llouse down. Spencer made a brave effort. He Wammered for order re- peatedly, but there was no response. The members were in a state of re- volt against order. Many of them sat Wwith their feet on their desks, and there is no condition of decorum whatever.

Newlans had a speech prepared, and when Kite continued to interrupt him, he stated that his blood was Lot to the boiling point and he diiin’t propose to be insulted, and thfat he vas going to deliver that speech in spite of any interruptions, and he did. After he had stated the state of his blood there were few mem- sers who had the hardihood to say anything to him. The gist of the speech was that the farmers paid the —Speak- cd that it, would be an additional x Jevy on the farmers in an indi- rect manner.

Washington, May 28.—Secretary Dryan is not too busy with affairs of State to do the marketing for the bryan household. Almost any morn- ing the secretary of State may ba secen in a local market place with a large basket swinging from his left arm. Mr. Bryan seems to enjoy mar- keting. He eclbows the crowd and ipparently does not mind it any more than he did when making hig politi- ‘al campaizn tours. His fondness for the white radisn new is generally known among mar- ket men amnl they try to keep ou hand the kind he likes. The other tv:);, however, much to the secretary’s 'lisappointment, his favorite was not to be had. MYou know I must have white rad- ches,” g2id the secretary to a wom- 'n thopping besides him. “No other kind will do.” izht and if the full crew bill was| NEED EVERY VOTE 10 - RACE QUESIIOJ BOBS UP- Washington, ‘\my 38.—The race question was put squarely up to Postmaster General Burleson today in a petition signed by more thau §,000 railway mail clerks, urging the; segregation of white and negro em- ployes in the service. It was pre- scnted by Robert A. Prather, of Lit- tle Rock, Ark. The petitionesr asked that the postmaster general issue an order putting the segregation into effect at once.

A special protest is made in the petition against existing conditions because on long runs members of the two races frequently have to share the same sleeping quurters REGISTERING A5 MAN FAD WIFE CONSTI TUTES MARRAGENOW New Florida Law Will Have Tend- ency to Put Stop to Adventurers, Tallahassce, Fla.,, May 28.—Tues- day morning in the Senate was a time and perhaps the only time that male spectators presided. Senator Himes' valid marriage law was being dis- cussed and it was not good for any- bedy but males. The bill carried, as it was one of Himes' pet measures. The bill was passed on last Friday but at the request of the senator from Hillsboro, Senator Finlayson was given a chance to debate, therefore the reconsideration of tlje bill was set for Tuesday. Senators Himes and Hudson, of Miami, supported it and Finlayson objected strenuously. On Friday this measure was carried by a vote of 19 to 9 and on Tuesday it won out with 23 to 6. If a man and woman go to a hotel and register a8 man and wife, that constitutes a marriage, provided they are not mar- vied. Senator Finlayson had su- preme faith in womanhood, but the scnator from Tampa was not assail- ing the goodness of woman; he was protocting folks from the adven- turess.
