MORRIS CASE.
TMs afternoon the case of Frairy, Landes
et al. vs. R. B. Morris et al., known better
now on the streets of Houston as the
"Morris case," was called by Judge Brash-
ear in accordance with the terms of ad-
journment yesterday, In the district court.
The attorneys looked fresh enough and
ithey were, as shown in the trial after it
opened. Mrs. Morris resumed her testi-
mony where she left off last evening—in
the hands of Attorney Garnett:
"I gave the children money whenever
they wanted it; whatever Robert said
aibout the rent of the building I would
approve; if he said $250 I wuuld say yes;
Vin both gave th^m as a Christmas present
some outlying lands."
By Mr. Evving, for plaintiff: Witness:
"The $40,000 was to be paid at no delinite
Time; Ben said he would pay the $10,000
with interest; I don't remember anything
else a'bout the agreement except the in-
terest; I am worth only the Morris build-
^ , / ,t'hat; 1 can't say what the rent
should be; my sons attend to that; all
my children are married except one daugh-
ter; where I have lived 1 own the House,
oiot the land; the lease on it is renewed
for two or three years; 1 dun't attend to
at; have some other property besides the
Morris building; I don't know their value;
i never have anything to do with the
properties."
Attorney: "If Robert gave you $250 rent
wouid you approve it?"
Answer: "If he said it was all right."
0irn.ey:.,-."lf Bl>b charged Be.n only
$250, but didn't think it was the value,
would you approve It? If he did It for
lien what would you say?"
Answer: "I don't think I could approve
It; I do not consider *250 as a reasonable
rent; I can t say that I do sanction Bob's
action in that; it was from 1887 to 1889; I
don t know what rents were then, but sup-
pose it was always worth $400."
Attorney: "Were you willing to sacri-
fice your rents to help the boys?"
Attorney Jones objected.
The court overruled the objection.
Witness said: "I couldn't take away
money from my girls; they have to be ed-
ucated; I did say I had always been will-
ing to take less rent from the'boys; I con-
sidered the $400 reasonable; it was spoken
of first In '89; I never knew the value of
rents; Bob had charge of all things; what-
ever business came up my son attended to
" Wf me and 1 dldn'1 lo°k after it at all."
This concluded the testimony of Mrs
Morris.
John Ketterson, the bookkeeper for Mor-
ris: "I was head bookkeeper from May,
3892. to the time of giving the deed of trust;
prior to that I was assistant; I had charge
of the accounts and notes; it was my place
to fix the dates of maturity, etc.; they are
entered under the head of bills payable;
they can be traced back for years; even
prior to Mr. Morris* death; a great part
of it was borrowed money: when Robert
would send on a note the interest would be
credited to the Whittlesey account; that
account is correct; the books show $2500
with some $300 to be deducted, making a
total of $2169.(50; this claim of $4053 against
J. R. Morris' estate was credited on the
books February 15, 1894; the $25,000 was paid
to the Planters and Mechanics' bank on
March 23; the deed of trust was given Feb-
ruary 22; It covered three notes, $10,000, $10,-
000 and $5000; an adjustment of Interest was
deferred a couple of weeks; 1 and Mr
Drew were both busy at the time; I kept
the general books and had a good deal of
business."
Attorney: "If the bank had continued its
favors to Mr. Morris and if Mr. Whitt'.e-
sev and Mrs. Morris hadn't crowded him.
would he have been able to continue his
business?"
Attorney Ewing objected, but the court
allowed the question.
Witness: "I believe he could have gone
ahead; he was never pressed until aibout
February; he owed something over $50,000,
which was over his line as allowed by the
bank, and had to reduce his account 'by a
reduction of capital; before that he easily
could get credit; have been in his employ
since October 20, 1891, to the time of giving
the deed of trust; Ben Morris never looked
at the books; Mrs. Morris never did, she
never inquired, nor did Ben; he would
sometimes ask how much he had drawn;
1 was with them when Bob bought out
Ben; he bought him out because lien was
acting rather badly and Bob objected to
It."
Attorney Garnett asked witness if he
knew the terms. Attorney Hamblen ob-
jected and the court sustained it.
"I was present when they made the trade.
I made the accounts showing all the deb ts
from April, 18.S6, to June 20, 1894; J didn't
hear the conversation between Mr. Morris
and Mr. Haven; Mr. Morris told me of it
afterward."
Attorney Ewing stopped hun here, not
allowing hearsay test fir
tained it.
unony. Court sus-
Oross-examlned by Mr. for plain-
tiffs: "My testimony Is ba: ;i the books;
it was my depurtmerot: iny l ,.ie was given
mostly to that work, the debus are only on
the statements; there are several credits
on the accounts; Mrs. Morris' debits were
SW.000 about on the morning of February
15."
Here the attorney showed checks that
represented Mrs. Morris' money gvtten by
the boys.
"That $1200 was credited on her account
a/nd $600, $500 and $5225 and $000 to her cred-
it; some of these credits had been entered
before the $40,000; they ail were, iin fact;
3ftM dfliuitt that there wa* a debit kalauca
of Mrs. Morris: thf.s $5000 was entered about
May but dated February 28."
The witness here related the circuitous
route it traveled over.
"Yes, sir, when an item is placed to the
debit of one account it must be placed to
the credit of another; I had to debit the
$10,000 to J. R. Morris' estate; yes, sir, 1
did understand that it had been closed up
before; I kept an expense account; 1 kept
no rent account, ct went to expense; when
1 debited the $30,000 to liquidation expense
it opened that aiooount (then; I know that
it must be debited and put it to liquidation
expense; Mr. Whittlesey's account in-
creased from time to time; he had no {se-
curity except fifteen shares of Planters and
Mechanics' bank and a note of $1500 of Mrs.
Morris; I never saiw 'Mr. Whittlesey till
three weeks ago; tihe office was not small;
Mr. Morris' desk was lifteen feet from me;
Mr. Morris had a stenographer most of the
time, but had none when first 1 went there;
He got one two months after; she was the
general stenographer, not his private sten-
ographer; her desk was live feet from Mr.
Morris' desk; he could have handed her a
letter or anything like it."
Mr. O. C. Drew: "i am cashier of the
Planters and Mechanics' bank; have been
for four or live years; the bank has notes
of Mrs. Morris; here they are; one for
$25,000, signed Hannah C. Morris; the deed
of trust :is here; the bank let Mrs. 'Morris
lhave it to reduce indebtedness of Robert
to the bank; the bank required it; the
capital was first $500,000, afterward it was
reduced in September to $250,000; the govern-
ment required it to make the reduction; it
required us to reduce the lines of credit
also; this money was used to reduce his
line with us; he had done business with
us since January 1, 1891; he was indebted
to the bank at the time of giving the deed
o.f trust some $37,000; up to that time I
never even suspected any financial weak-
ness; we had confidence in the ability and
honesty of Mr. Morris; his business, I
would say, was $1000 a day; 1 thought it a
magnificent business; I knew something of
the Character o<f the business."
Attorney: "With that business, what
would you value the good wiM of that con-
cern?"
Objected to by Attorney lowing; objec-
tion overruled.
Witness: "I think that business to-day
Is worth $50,000; I would be wl'lling to-day to
take it at that value; it takes years and
years to build up such a business; it is the
labor of a lifetime; I remember the matter
in February where Mrs. Morris issued a
check of $5000; it was paid to some one,
don't remember who; before this deed of
trust was given, we asked him to reduce
his line; when the reduction in our capital
was made we 'had to; we then wanted
him to reduce his line after our capital
was reduced to $250,000; he later ran up
to thirty thousand odd dollars; it was
even later than June 15; he had no reason
to suppose before that he was going to be
pushed for it; President Boyles took it in
hand and got the reduction; I heard Dr.
IBoyles, the president, tell him [Morris] be
had to reduce or liquidate at once."
Cross-examined by Attorney Hamblen:
"At that time he owed about $38,000; we
wanted him t-o bning it down to $25,000; we
asked for no security; <vve insisted on it he
reduction; he was a director and vice
president; he ceased to Ibe when he filed
tihe deed of tru«t; yes, he knew as earl.y ais
Seutenrber or October that <we woulld re-
quire 'the reduction; he diidn't o.we that
large amount at that time; II allowed him
to go over lit; it wais a matter of judg-
ment with me, knoiwilntg him and his busi-
ness; we told him that he must reduce;
it was a requirement of the government;
his credit Uip to that time was magniiific<ent;
I would ha've bad power to pass on his
credit, but would submit it to the president;
his standing was based upon nothiing in
particular; it was this general business; I
was not in my present position when he
established hiis credit; I talked with Mr.
Morris since aibout this assets and tiialbiM-
ttes."
Attorney: '1 want to knoiw what he toJd
you iin that line?"
Attorney Garnett objected to it as (ir-
relevant.
Attorney Hamiblien, answering, said they
wanted to cross-examine hinn on the same
line Mr. Garnett had started.
The court ruled that witness should
answer.
Witness: "Morris never made me a de-
tailed statement; he has talked to me; I
never consulted either Dun or Brad-
street's agencies; I place no confidence in
them; no, sir, I wouldn't have allowed
such credit to any man, if we knew it,
whose liabilities exceeded his assets by
several thousand dollars; I would not had
I known that a man owed $40,000 and
more, but should have investigated it; the
reputation of a house' figures largely n
their business; the credit abroad enters
in to the establishment of its good will;
yes, it was eighteen or twenty years ago
-that the business was carried on in the
•name of Riley; I don't know that Mr. Mor-
ris failed before, but believe he did; the
sale of Robert Morris to Ben Morris 1
know of, but don't know of the details
you name: if 1 knew the indebtedness you
speak of i wouldn't recede from my posi-
tion that the good will Its worth $"»0,000; I
would join a stock company to-morrow
with the good will of that firm if one
should be organized that could command
it."
Here Attorney Hamblen called witness*
attention to sundry debts of the establish-
ment and to som other transactions, but
the witness held his position on the sub-
ject of the value of the good will.
•Were the court suspended the proceedings
and went into some other business, to re-
sume at 3 o'clock in the evening.
In the afternoon Dr. Flewetllen took the
stand in opening the evidence by the at-
torney for the plaintiffs to show that Mr.
Robert Morris had told him that he .had
given Ben Morris a thousand dollars for
the -purchase of bis interest in the busi-
ness, and the doctor testified on direct ex-
amination that in a certain conversation
(Robert Morris had told that. In that con-
versation they were talking about Dr.
IFlewellen's son (Edward and Ben Morris.
In the cross examination the first ques-
tion of Attorney Garnett was .objected to.
He wanted to know what prompted the
witness to go to attorneys for the other
side and tell them of this private talk, and
to find out what his motive was. To this
the objection was raised.
Witness: "Had no special motive in tell-
ing them; T met Judge Hamblen next day
and told him of the conversation 1 had
witih Robert Morris; It was not that 1 was
anxious for them to succeed; he asked ine
nothing about it; I volunteered it; 1 had
heard Mr. Haven testify in the case and
he said Bob had tofld him he paid Hen
$1000; didn't say how much more nor less;
1 though it was about the same; Bob and
I did talk of the Keeley cure and !Bob
told me that he bad put Ben through the
Keeley cure twice or three times; he said
he had paid $1000 to Ben; didn't say that
was all be had paid him; l thought the
business was Mrs. Morris'; I thought they
bad not enough money to run it; 1 didn't
say be told me it was all he was going to
pay; he didn't tell me all about the transac-
tion; 1 didn't talk to Ben then, but did in
the court house; I also talked to Bob; from
what Mr. Haven said, Bolb, 1 judge, told
me what be told Mr. Haven; Bob said he
had paid out a good deal: his bild against
me had been settled a week before, and
had nothing to do with this; 1 told Judge
Hamblen without any special motive; he
didn't tell me the details of the trade with
Ben; Ben was not present at the time."
Re-cross: "I was brought here under sub-
poena to testify; waited in the rooms oniy
two days; the conversation came up with
Judge Hamblen on the length of a notice
I saw in the paper about this case; Robert
stated to me he had paid Ben $1000."
Re-direct: "The money 1 thought came
to the boys from their mother, Mrs. Mor-
ris; didn't tihink they had anything of their
own. and it was understood that J. R.
(Morris had died insolvent."
A. Cramer: "Been living here forty yeare;
been in the dry goods business; 1 flr*t did
business in the Montis building; It belongs!
t'hen to Van Alstyne; next 1 moved where
Houses bank Is: from there into a frame
house, corner Main and Preston streets,
and then went back to tin- Morris building;
been there ever since; l am well Informed
on rents; paid enough of ithem here; 1 had
the reasonable rent of it since 1886 to the
present time; must calculate a little bit.'"
Here the witness took a piece of paper
nnd began to figure and made it per month
up to 1890 that it should bring SlioO per
month.
"Since tha't time $700 is a reasonable rent;
according what we pay now: my sons
for 36 by 80 feet, the next building, litvt
floor-, ri«_y Jtifi; for the third floor I calcu-
think t'olonel Jones bought
it in is.lv.
Cross-examined: "The first floor brings
I think the rooms ought to set $20
each pet month; the back room may bo
on account of south breeze; the
Morris founding runs further back anil I
think It worth three times as much as u
house hall the size; there Is not a houae
butter situated in t'he town than the Mor-
ris building; the alley behind adds greatly
to Its value. '
,0' C., Draw was returned to the stand:
That is the cashier's i-heck for $5000; I
can t say who deposited; 1 am positive now
t\. T P/5 l,h,e indorsement that It was done
by Hob t Morris; I remember we had an
agreement abou't It; don't .mtiow what wart

3
Whittlesey and we would take credit for
it; never had one to come back; couldn't
say what the total amount was might
have been $1000 or $5000; all were promptly
paid. '
Mr. I. Elsaeser on thfe stand direct: "Am
in real estate business seven years; lived
here Shirty-seven or thirty-eight years-
was In mercantile business in same block
with the Morris building; a very reason-
able rent for the whole time would be $400-
elnce 1890 Mr. Robt. Morris said he would
lease i;t with the third floor of (he Cramer
building- for $600 per month; it was a reas-
onable rent."
Cross-examined: "Four .hundred and fifty
dollars would not have been reasonable,
but very chea.p rent; it Is an exception of a
building; lias front of 58 feet by 140 feet;
a very cheap rent for the Morris building
would be $500 since 1890—very cheap."
Robert Morris on the stand: "Any state-
^ made to 'liradstreet >or in keeping
my books i was not representing my
another; when I made these reports I was
■never called on as mother's agent; nobody
as.ted me as mother's agent; 1 was only
her agent to collect debts, rents, etc; she
drew money from both of us, Ben and me;
in handling my own business 1 was acting
for myself; none of the plaintiffs or any
creditors had been given information by me
as my mother's agent; the estate of J. It.
(Morris represented the firm; after the firm
ceased it represented me."
By Ewing: "I kept the estate among per-
sonal accounts, capital represented by me;
J say it was just the way of charging it;
yes, capital represented my assets in the
business; I can't state that it was kept in
personal accounts; merchandise is imper-
sonal; it was kept among the personal ac-
counts; I can't say that it was put there
to keep it out of my personal ^account."
By Irarnett: "I credited it to my mother;
!\CvXer computed the interest; mother knew
nothing of how I was keeping my books;
•1 talked to Dr. Flewellen about his son who
had refused to take the cure and he asked
me what I thought of it; 'I told him that
1 had paid out several hundred dollars that
was no igood in case of 'Ben; 1 don't re-
member speaking of the business to hi-m
at all; I never told him of the trade I am
sure."
By Judge Hamblen: "'Did X understand1
you to say that 'Dr. Flewellen had sworn
to a falsehood?"
wouldn't have told him; I paid him
$1000; 1 told him that I paid to Keeley in-
stitute $1100 or $1200; I didn't want the
world to know that I had drawn $35,000 out
of my business; it might have damaged
me."
By Mr. Garnett: "If I had told Dr. Flew-
ellen I paid Ben $1000 I would have told him
an infamous lie: I never paid it and
couldn't have told him so; 1 think the
doctor got hot; if he didn't I know his son
did; it was about the note; the bank got
after him about it; his son got huffy and I
don't think he liked it."
The witness here explained the trouble
about the note.
Witness: "Yes, they claimed we had an
understanding; he failed to pay the note
once and then again; then said he could
give as security a piece of land; the note
when it fell due was protested; I don't
know that the note Is amply secured; Dr.
Flewellen told me the land was 300 'acres
and worth $900; I took his word; I had to;
it was all I had; he acted like he was put
out.
J. F. Meyer: "Am in heavy hardware
business; been in it twenty-nine years in
Houston; was one of the appraisers in this
estate: we had an Inventory to go by;
went through the store and looked at the
wtock; don't remember the saim; we put a
low value on It, about 20 per cent less than
cost; we put it all in that way."
Attorney: "The appraised value would be
much less when compared with the value
of a stock in active business, would It
not?"
Mr. Ewing objected. The court overruled
the objection.
"The goods were appraised at an amount
I don't exactly recall, and they would be
worth in my opinion at least 35 to 40 per
cent more if kept there in actual business;
hardware has depreciated from 20 to 40
per cent in eighteen months; it was caused
perhaps by general disturbance Of finance
in the country, but I can't say exactly
what the cause was."
By Mr. Ring—Witness: "We had in-
voices; the inventory was furnished by
parties in charge there; we did not in-
ventory the stock piece by piece; we
marked it down about 40 per cent."
By Mr. Ewing—Witness: "The cost came
down so fast you had to keep goods mov-
ing fast to keep up; one day I thought the
bottom had been reached; in two weeks
it was lower, and so it went; in ordinary
busliness 1 would quit or make money out
of it; in taking the appraisement the work
was done on Sunday; I don't remember
whether or not the house was shut up."
Here the attorney read the deposition! of
J. E. Whittlesey. It covered a term of
many years, showing that J. U. Morri«
was for nineteen years indebted to him
in greater or less sums. They were very
intimate during J. It. Mortis' life. It went
on to corroborate the testimony of Robert
B. Morrlii and Mrs. H. 'C. Morris. It re-
lated to notes and renewals, the securi-
ties, the lands, interest, etc. Some of the
notes of the boys were not secured. It
gave amounts due him. as before given in
other testimony. It also stated that the
allegation that this indebtedness was fic-
titious, simulated and a sham, was false;
that dollar for dollar had be^ri paid to the
firm. It gave the amounts of the various
notes and other sums and went into de-
tails of the relations of himself to the
estate and business of J. R. Morris* sons.
The court adjourned the case over to 10
o'clock to-morrow.
BIG TIMBER DEAL.
In these times of depression and general
shrinkage of property values It Is encour-
aging to note tendencies in a more hopeful
direction, among which is a timber land
deal significant of the returning confidence
of outside investors in Texas property just
closed in Houston, by which Mr. John P.
Irvin of this place sells to the Hon. John
A. McShane of Omaha, Neb., CO,000 acres
of nine timber lands for something better
than $6 per acre. These lands are some of
the best of Mr. Irvin's holdings and are
located along the East Texas railway,
principally in Hardin, Tyler and Angelina
counties. The lands wei;e estimated by
Mr. A. TV Doucette of 'Beaumont and oth-
ers, and the deal was made through Messrs.
W. It. Green and E. A. Cobb of Omaha.
Mr. McShane Is president of the Omaha
stockyards company; now a business sec-
ond only to Chicago, and these yards have
been under his control from their Inception
to the present time. He has been promi-
nently identified with the development and
growth of Omaha and other northwestern
interests and is rated one of the best busi-
ness men of the country. Mr. McShane
represented the Omaha district in congress
some years ago and enjoys the distinction
of being the first democrat that was sent
to congress from Nebraska, Mr. McShane's
investment in Texas land is but the fore-
runner of others to follow and the people
of south Texas are to be congratulated on
securing the interest of such an enter-
prising gentleman. The Texas pine land
association, of which Mr. John H. Kirby
is manager, aided materially In the con-
summation of this deal and are highly
elated over the success of It, as it will
do much to promote not only the lumber
interests of east Texas but will call atten-
tion of Investors to the value of Texas
lands.
REPUBLICAN convention.
It was a large and enthusiastic crowd of
colored republicans that assembled in
county convention at Trinity hall this
morning in response to the call issued by
F. C. H. Keelan, chairman of the repub-
lican executive committee.
With two or three exceptions the white
republicans of Harris county were con-
spicuous by their absence, the convention
being composed entirely of colored men
who pride themselves on being termed "old
liners."
Never before in the history of Harris
county republican conventions was there a
keener interest manifested by tlie man and
brother than on tihis occasion. The con-
vention did not convene at the hour named
in the cal'l, but was called to order sharply
at 11.30 o'clock.
At the hour named F. C. H. Keelan,
chairman of the county executive commit-
tee, called the convention to order, and
after a few preliminary remarks proceeded
to read the call that gathered them there.
After reading the call the ohalr announcod
that temporary organisation was the first
thing in order.
On motion of Hon. Richard •Allen the del-
egates were given the choice of seats on
the floor of the convention. The specta-
tors were requested not to trespass on.
the rights of the delegates, -but to occupy
the seats not used by the delegates.
The chair demanded: "How shall the
vote be taken?" whereupon Delegate Love
of the Fourth ward south moved that the
vote be taken by precincts. Mr. Allen
wanted to know "Whether contesting del-
egates wou'ld be allowed to vote?"
T. C. Davenport moved that the question
of "contesting delegates" be not consid-
ered. as the. convention was unorganized.
and that all delegates, con.testees and con-
testants Included, be allowed to participate
Jn the temporary organization. The motion
was carried.
Upon motion of R. Allen the convention
took a recess of ten minutes in order that
the delegations could organize by electing
chairmen to cast the vote of their •respect-
ive, precincts. As there was much confu-
sion when the convention reassembled. C.
N. Love moved the appointment of two
sergeants-at-arms. Charles Smailey and
J. W. Cornish were appointed and they at
once proceeded to restore order by quelling
the disturbing element. Sergeant Smailey
had some difficulty in quieting a delegate
from gang's sehoolhouse. but after a blow
delivered by the sergeant-at-arms the of-
fender was quieted and peace prevailed.
J. W. Cornish of the Third ward delega-
tion placed the name of J. W. Watson in
nomination for temporary chairman. Van
51. McKinney offered the name of Dr. W.
III. Scott, and Dave Rickmeyer submitted
the name of A. T. Lockett. i\ A. Sharkie
seconded the nomination of .). W. Watson.
l>r. Scott's nomination was seconded by
Allen Fitzgerald and F. W. Reed. A. J.
Waketleld of the Fifth ward, in a very
appropriate speech, seconded the nomina-
tion of A. T. Lockett.
A motion to close the nominations for
temporary chairman carried. Before the
vote was taken l>r. W. H. Scott arose
and in a few well chosen words declined the
nomination.
The convention then proceeded to vote
on the temporary chairman. The vote was
taken by precincts and is as follows:
Watiswm. Lockett.

A. T. Lockett, having received a ma-
jority df the votes cast, was, upon mo-
tion of >C. N. Love, declared the unanimous
choice of the convention. Upon motion, a
committee of three, consisting of C. N.
Love, J. W. Watson and Dr. W. H. Scott,
was appointed to escort Mr. Lockett to
t'h.e chair. Mr. Lockett thanked the con-
vention for the honor conferred upon him,
and declared, that he would be impartial in
all his rulings; that he would do his ut-
most to give general satisfaction, and that,
whiMe others accused certain gentlemen
■as being Idly whites, he could not believe
that any colored republicans could con-
sistently be recognized as such.
'Nominations for temporary secretary were
then declared in order. Van H. McKinney,
P. A. Sharkie and Emmet't J. Scott were
nominated. Delegate J. S. Tibbitt called
attention to the fact of Mr. Seott not be-
ting a. delegate, hence Mr. iSeott's name
was withdrawn. McKinney declined the
nomination for temporary secretary, and
moved that P. A. Sharkie be elected by
acclamation. Carried.
The convention then got doiwn to business
in real earnest. A motjon by C. N. Love
•to a,ppolnt a committee consisting of one
delegate from each precinct [contesting
delegates excepted] on credentials was car-
ried. The foiKowing committee was appoint-
ed: W. M. Green, -C. H. Smith, Ellis Nlok-
erson, 'R. L. Andrews, Van H. McKinnev,
J. P. Bonner, Solomon Gordon, J. H. tS.
Gaines and John A. Matthews.
There were three contesting delegations,
as follows: Third ward, ChaneyviiOle and
iHarrlsburg. These were not represented 011
the committee.
The convention adjourned to give the
committee time to prepare its report. At
4 o'clock the convention reassembled and
the committee on credentials submitted
Its report. The committee reported favora-
bly on the Misher delegation from the Third
ward, and recommended that both dele-
gations from Harrisburg be admitted and
that each be entitled to a half of the rep-
resentabion. The McDavid delegation from
Chaneyvi'lile was thrown out. F. W. iReed
moved the adoption of the committee's re-
port. IB a Key Sparks arrested the question
and asked that, since the contestants from
'Harrlsburg had been given a ha/.f vote,
the MoDavfld delegation be admitted on
tihe same terms.
The report of the committee was adopted!
unanimously.

mittee also elect delegates to the congres-
