put It, when Mr Deal, of Norfolk, of
fered a resolution to limit all speeches
to ten minutes
Mr. Cox objected seriously to the
gag rule He said that If the time
was too short now to complete the
work before the House, then it was
the duty of the House to extend the
session, and any court will rule that
‘ There are o great number of very
Important measures yet to lie con
sidered," said Mr. Cox. “and 1 will
not consent to shutting off snv de
bates which are necessary, In order
that the members thoroughly under
stand the hills."
Mr. Deal was of the opinion that
any one could “state hts case in ten
minutes and could make his argu
ment more effective with a ten min
ute speech.” This resolution was
adopted. ,
Mr Page offered g resolution

Senator Strode reported to the Hour*
that the Senate had refused to con

ed Thursday. Judge Williams moved

Mr. Deal. Judge William* stated that
at least a doxen members of the
House did not know what they were
voting on when they passed the bill.
This motion was lost and resulted In
a considerable mix-up as to whether
the motion was In order on account
of the non-debate rule. The chair
ruled that "everybody and everything
was out of order."
Dodlno to Serve.
Mr. Myers arose to a point of per
sonal privilege to protest against the
attitude In which he and Mr. Fttxhugh
had been placed In the minds of the
public In regard to a resolution offer
ed by the gentleman from Orange, the
chairman of the Commutes on Agri
culture and Mining, appointing them
a committee of two to Investigate the
manipulations of cold storage in the
State and Inquire as to steps being
taken by Federal officials along this
line and report to the next House of
Delegate*. Mr. Myers asked to be
excused from serving on this commit
tee. An Investigation to be as thor
I ough as the Importance demands
would necessarily Incur an expense
i unreasonable for them to defray,
which the resolution does not provide
lor. Secondly, it placed the Com
monwealth In the attitude of charita
bly asking Its citizen* to perform an
important and arduous task gratis.
Mr. Myers stated that he could not
promise to srrve under any renmnera
! five consideration, circumstances un
controlablc by him might forbid. He
agrees to serve as public servant as
long as in that capacity, aa physician
or private citizen, to use every power
within his domain to protect people
from unwholesome or deleterious
foods and advocate any measure to
uplift ahd protect the health of the
people.
In offering his resignation,he gladly
and cheerfully accepted the spirit In
which the resolution was couched and
gratciuiiy -
tesy extended and honor conferred
iiv the committee.
Mr. Fltshugh concurred in the re
! mark* made by Mr. Myers.
Afternoon Session.
The afternoon session of the House
Friday will be devoted to the passage
of contested bills. The ten-minute
gag rule, adopted at the request of
Mr. Deal, will prevail.

The appropriations for 1911 will
be somewhat larger tha nthose for
the present year. This was done be
cause by 1911 the new assessment
rate will obtain and a number of new
sources of revenue will by that time
have yielded up additional funds.
What the House Finance Commit
tee and the House proper will do
with, to or for this carefully drafted
bill cannot be foretold. It is under
I stood, however, that the House Com
mittee feels a little sensitive over the
fact that the Senate should draft the
bill which doubtless will be the one
I passed without consulting it more
. fully.
One revenue-increasing bill is said
! to widely separate the two commit
tees. It to the Holt bill Increasing
the tax on liquor men by an amount
■ ranging somewhere between 9180,000
and $300,000. The House committee
to said to be insisting on the adop
tion of the Byrd bill, which pro
j vldes for about an equal Increase in
revenue and also goes Into the regu
i tatlon of the liquor traffic, which the
; Holt bill does not do so fully. It to
. believed by members of the Senate
committee that a compromise will be
effected.

NEW YORK, March 4.—A gen

the early trading, with the net ehange

this source was quickly absorbed.
After the irregularity in trading in
the first few minutes the market de
veloped a generally firm tone, but
business was small. The copper
stocks were in good demand at ma
