Speaker Anderson put the resolution duly before the House, and Mr. Burnett took the floor to say: “Mr. Green assures us that his use of Mr. Grant’s money was legitimate.

Assemblyman Cosper said that there were two elements in the resolution—one Green, the other the committee; and he thought the two points should be taken up separately and that the committee should be disposed of first. Dibble of San Francisco disagreed with him on the question of precedence. Mr. Dibble thought Green should be disposed of first and said so. The truth of the matter was that Cosper wanted the com- mittee discharged, no matter what the cost; but Dibble wanted it to go right on grinding out good Senatorial coin for Dan M. Burns. e was backed in a mea- sure by Melick of Pasadena, who wanted Green punished for his contempt, and said that the work of the committee was not nearly finished if the charge was dis- missed. “He speaks of his honor,”” said Melick, “and says he would break a confidence were he to answer these questions. If he has made charges against any one it is against this House, and when it asks these questions it releases him from se- crecy. He ought be made to answer.” During a pause at this point, Mr. Jilson saw a chance to say a word, and he did s0 in a manner most satisfactory to every Mr. Green claimed for him I did not think he could be elected and decided to change. Mr, Green came to me with a contract which he wanted me to sign, but I re- fused, as it pledged me to vote for U. 8. Grant. He said others had signed it who had had help from him, but n)» man can ever get me to sign a contract for my vote.” . Mr. Dibble then demanded a division of the resolution and after some debate it was ordered by Speaker Anderson. Val- entine denied the question and appealed from the decision of the chair, but was overruled. He took it good-naturedly and sald he hoped no member of the House had so lost his self-respect as to vote for Green's release. Young Mr. Works came to the front at this point. Even he could see that things were going sadly against him and he tried to stem the tide. Said he: “Mr. Speaker, Mr. Green waved his right to answer these questions in his communication this morning.”" “Very kind of Mr. Green,” retorted Val- entine, “but this House has not waived its right to have Mr. Green here.” A rolicall was finally demanded and by a vote of 47 to 18 the House decided to not Telease Mr. Green from the charges against him. Brown of San Mateo then offered the following resolution: Rasolved, That Milton J. Green, having re- fused to appear before the Assembly, pursuant to the order heretofore made requiring him to show cause why he should not answer certain questions. propounded to him by a committee and having failed to show sufficient cause in his statement presented to this Assembly why he should not answer said questions, be, and he is, therefore considered in contempt of said finally Valentine settled it by moving that the ole second section of the resolution 80 over to Friday, and it was so ordered.
