I want to see my wife. 1 Where Is my wife? Evelyn, Evelyn. Yea, yes, girl, it’s going to come out all right.” These were scrape of what (he keep ers heard Thaw.muttering ns he flung himself about on his cot. He seemed to be In great menial agony. When he awoke from his troubled sleep at 6 o'clock, ha was unrefreshed and the first question he put to Keeper Ryan Indicated that his dreams of the night were still with him In anguish of mind by day.

It was on this point that the light was made, and at this Juncture of the procedfngs of the day that the members became Interested In what waa going on around them. Mr. Hall was the first up, and In a strong speech, advocated the passage of his bill. The red flag of the bull was the amendment of Mr. Perry,’ of Hall, to let the railroad cnmmlslsoners act as ths board of assessors. Mr. Hall de«- dared that ths amendment would kilt ths bill. The house debated the amendment for some time and It was finally lost, but only for a short time did It lay dormant. As soon as the committee of the whole reported back to the house that the bill as amended do pass, Mr. Perry, of Hall, reintroduced his amend ment nnd' immediately the fight was waged. Mr. Hall claimed that It was against' Ihe rules of the house, but Speaker Slaton overruled him. The amendment waa Introduced and Mr. Alexander Im mediately took the floor and apoke for twenty minutes In support of It. He arraigned the railroad commission ono minute and the next would urge the members to put this matter In their hnnda. He was Interrupted time and again by Mr. Hall, who seemed to be bent on "mixing up' the getleman from UeKalb. Mr. Alexander said In his opinion the railroad commissioners had not the •lightest conception of the duties of their office. but he thought they could do this. Mr. Hall followed him and prnceedd to tell what he thought of the railroad commission and he was not a, all complimentary.

Mr. Hall spoke agin for his amend ment. Igylng stress on the need for the election of the railroad commission by the people. Not a member was heard '>n the floor who did not favor this, though such a bill has been ln- treduced In the house many times In <he past six years, according to Mr. Felder,- of Bibb, who apoke for the passage of the bill as reported by the committee of the whole, which was practically aa originally drafted by Mr. Hall. Hall in His Glory. There was a sensation when Mr. Hall brought the gubernatorial cam paign Into the dfscusalon, and said that the very people who he thought would support his bill from their stand In the gubernatorial race were now op posing It. He could not understand It, he said, and Immediately he'was In- "rrupted by Mr. Perry, of Hall, who seemed to think that he had been In sulted, and excitedly called on’Mr. Hall explain hla remarks, Mr. Flynt also said: "Yes, Mrs. Thaw telephoned a few minutes ago.
