be deprived of his vote if election of-
ficers think best, und there is no ap-
peal.
The- morning session proved to be
tlio most vigorous of the needless ses-
sion. Every representative was wrought
up to a high tension, and when, almost,
immediately after the announcement
that a quorum was present, Represen-
tative Durant moved that each legisla-
tor be limited to three minutes' debate
on any one measure, there was an open
rupture between the minority and ma-
jority members.
CLARK HOLDS HIS OWN.
Representative E. M. Ciark was rec-
ognized and for a full hour midst most
Insulting Interruptions made by demo-
cratic ring legislators opposed the pn£
rule at the closing session of the leg-
islature wh n there was known to be
one of the most important measures
coming up for consideration. Repre-
sentative Clark recited the acts of the
republican members and demonstrated
why they had stood for every proposi-
tion which was fair and just and that
they had not taken up the time of the
house In political plays, lie continued
to speak until the previous question
was moved.
During his remarks Mr. Clark had
referred to the fact that th° majority
had without right caused Representative
Helm to be recorded as having voted
for the passage of the county assessors
bill. There was a sharp tilt between
the speaker and Representative Tlllot-
Hon during which Representative Helm
took a hand and intimated that any
person who claimed that he had voted
for the bill was in error.
WHITEWASH REPORTED ADOPTED.
Anxiously awaited by republicans and
democrats alike, the report of the spec-
ial legislative Investigating committee
on charges filed by republicans against
various state departments, including
the governor, was submitted to the
lower houre yesterday. Reading of the
report was dispensed with by a demo-
cratic vote and the report placed on
roll call for adoption in true steam
roller fashion.
Ross and Rob Wallace joined the re-
publican minority In voting against
adoption of the report, while Dixon an 1
Simmons, republicans, voted with their
fellow members of the committee for
adoption
Rv n unanimous vote, the report on
t'i charge* filed against the governor
was ordered spread on the house jour-
nil. as well as the explanation of ti
minority for th ir adverse report ort the
question of adoption.
TO ADJOURN TODAY.
Adjournment ystertiay was rendered
impossible by the mass of work that
piled up, awaiting final action, fi
cuss ion of the question of adjourning
yesterday afternoon brought out
f; ct that many of the members
in favor of bringing one legislative
session In Oklahoma to a close will-
order In the sunlight hours.
It Is probable that the last rap o:

high noon today.

of the majority. Although the victim of
frequent interruptions, and points of or-
der, Clark kept the floor, and on the
question of the three minute limit, ho
digressed to explain the vote of Rep-
resentative flelm on the county asses-
sor bill. According to the record Helm
voted "aye," his vote carrying the bill.
By his own word and tho testimony of
seven members of the minority whom
Clark produced, Helm passed and would
have voted "No;" thereby causing the
defeat of the bill.
Tlllotson blatantly Interrupted to chal-
lenge Helm's veracity and declared de-
fiantly that he would back his charges
up anywhere.
After Clark speaking for a full hour,
Tlllotson asked him to yield to a ques-
tion, took advantage of the opportunity
to move the previous question. He was
sustained and the minority demanded a
roll call, resulting 56 to 21. Another
roll call was Immediately demanded on
the question of limiting debate. The
republicans were operating a successful
filibuster. Before the vote was an-
nounced, Jones made a plea for fair
rulings, and in answer to an inquiry
from Tilotson, he said:
"If you will promise not to let that
contemptible, ungodly thing that you
passed in the senate last night, tin?
grandfather clause,' through this house,
we won't vote against anything that's
fair, but with this in view. I say to you
that If you do put It through we II
filibuster just as long as you'll let us.
The three minute limit was established
by a vote of 53 to 28.
Wilson relinquished the chair to E'en
Harrison and the Hughes county mem-
ber Intimated rather strongly that h
would control tho house in any con
tlngency.
Helm was at every opportunity de-
manding the floor on a question of per-
sonal privilege. Harrison consistently
refusal to see him, and he advanced
to the center of the house, the speaker
pro tem declared him out of order for
leaving his seat.
Helm refused to be quelled.
During the confusion, the roll was
called on a b"' making some McAlester
penitentiary construction money avail-
able at once instead of May 1. Tho
emergency was necessary and the solid
minority vote against it rendered lis
passage Impossible.
A NEAR-SQUABBLE.
Holm here again became insistent ana
Harrison, threatened, at Durant's sug-
gestion, to call the sergeant at arms.
"Yes, you dirty traitors," shouted
Helm, shaking his fist toward the dem-
ocrats. "Just do that."
Some of the democrats stepped to the
speaker's desk to help Harrison but h
waved them away with the answer that
"I can control this situation, and don't
think for a minute" (pointing at the re-
publicans) "that I can't put all you
men In your seats If I want to."
The threat anger <1 the republicans
and they crowded toward Harrison,
jones taunting him ordered him to call
the sergeant at arms. Joe Sherman
and Acton were In the front row, too,
and joyfully contemplated the possi-
bility of Harrison precipitating a fight
The speaker pro tem called Bruce Ott
the sergeant at arms, but the repub-
licans Muffed the doughty official and
finally subsided of their own accord
Jones warned Ott not to touch Helm, t
which Ott replied.
"I'l touch him if I take a notion to.'
NO QUITTING AT NOON.
A couple of messages from the senate
bore the tidings that the upper house
had r scinded its action fixing noon
yesterday as time for adjournment. The
house proceeded to adopt the same
course.
Ben Wilson was back in the chair
and recognized Helm to speak to his
question of personal privilege. Tie pro-
ceeded to assure his colleagues of his
regard for them, adding that any man
who said he voted for the county asses-
sor bill was a. "wl'ful and malicious
liar." Wilson Interrupted with the gavel
a 1 declared he would refuse to recog-
nize Helm again, at the same time dl-
ting him to sit down.
FOR MORE CONFERENCE.
Helm found his opportunity to vote
gainst the county assessor bill, when it
..appeared In the house on a confer-
ence report. By a vote of 50 to ti, tin-
report was rejected and the bill went
into further conference.
When the Thomas code commission
bill, with $16,COO appropriation, came up
for roll call, after voting and before the
result was announced, judge Terral re-
peated his denunciation of the bill, the
work of the code commission and tin-
alleged frame-up to crowd through the
legislature the code legislation. Three
members changed their votes from "aye
to "no." and the vote was announced,
;,1 to 31. A reconsideration was imme-
diately ordered, the bill having failed
to r eeive a constitutional majority, anJ
friends and enemies of the measure
alike, cut loose again on the general
subject of code.
Burnette said he would have favored
the bill If it had contained some definite
proposition from a law book annotated.
TH'otson declin-d the Thomas bill would
enable the state to secure a code for
a quarter the price required If the pres-
ent commission should he continued.
Terral again went Into the work of tho
c- Je commission and tin Joint legisla-
tive code committee.
Another message from the senate an-
nounced that tlv upper branch rerusen
the house amendment,
•mergency from th<' school
and appropriation. A mespage from
the governor was nlso announced but
not read for the time.
Friends of the measure were In th*
majority, and reconsider d the Thomas
bill. It was placed on roll call a second
time, receiving only 47 votes, four less
than before.
AFTERNOON SESSION
Appropriation bills on roll call were
taken up at 2 o'clock, and the hous°
passed the bill appropriating $60,000
for the use of the corporation com-
mission and attorney general in fight-
ing the railroad rate cases. More bills

tion, however .that the senate do not
