to the consideration of ilie administra

The best light of the clay was made
by .Senator Kayner against the cus

'He. undertook to puncture the pro
vision and Tie made the longest speech
of the day In which he set forth with
much emptiai the declaration that

constrrnTtUhil' because, while dealing
with questions at cummon law, it
makes no provision for Irial by Jury,
which he said every suitor unde r the

In presenting his views he sharply

fighting from the lap of the initial

Ketchel landed time and again with
