Bloodshed and rioting occurred Thurs

getting the members to take their seats
The trouble was started by Mr Novak
who wanted recognition from the Speak
er to make a motion to the call of the
revenue bill to second reading for the
purpose of amendment This bill was
sent to third reading at the morning ses
sion The Speaker refused to recognize
him as the special order was the Senate
fire escape bill on third reading and he
directed the clerk to proceed with the
reading of the bill Mr Novak although
he had not been recognized by the Speak

jeived the missile instead An ugly gash
was cut in Meaneys face from which the
blood flowed freely It was the stormiest
scene witnessed in the Legislature for
many years
The trouble started immediately after
Speaker Curtis called the House to order
at 3 oclock and lasted for an hour and a
quarter So great was the disturbance
that it was heard plainly at the Leland
Hotel six blocks away During the tur
moil bill files were smashed by pounding
the desks waste baskets were hurled in
discriminately across the hall members
shouted themselves hoarse and a free-for-all
fight was prevented only by the action
of cool headed Democratic members
The excitement was at fever heat dur
ing all the session but reached a culmi
nation point when Mr Novak who had
been shouting for recognition for an hour
left his seat and proceeded up the aisle
to the Speakers desk The Republicans
thinking it was his purpose to drag Speak
er Curtis from his chair made a rush to
defend the Speaker Mr Novak reached
the Speakers platform and in the midst
of a war of words with the presiding offi
cer he was seized by the coat collar by
Mr Needles and dragged from the plat
orm This was the sighalfor a rush from
the Democratic side to defend Mr Novak
and in the scramble that enBued there
was a general mix up
Mr Galligan attempted to use a wooden
mallet which he had procured Galligan
with mallet in hand made a leap for the
Speaker He was angry at being inter
cepted and tried to use his mallet on the
heads of those about him but was pre
vented He was dragged down with a
half dozen members on top of him in the
aisle It was here that the cool headed
was great when he swore by the beard of
the prophet that he had but one Like

I
at the Nashville exposition It may b
that he has at last solved the mystery oi
aeronautics In a ship of his own con
struction he journeyed over twenty miles
through space and finally landed at o
point twelve miles from wihere he started
During this time he says he had abso
lute control of his machine and steered
it at will The ship has an air chamber
shaped like a cigar and is 46 feet long by
IS feet in diameter It is made of Bilk
and cotton and filled with hydrogen gas
This chamber is confined in a network of
small rope which holds the metallic frame
work and aeroplanes underneath The
seat is made on the order of a bicycle
frame and from this the operator con
trols the wings or aeroplanes on either
side The two propellers or screws ex
tend in front of the operator acting on
the principal of an auger In guiding the
airship the operator moves the screw from
the right to left in the direction he wishes
to go and ascends or descends by raising
or lowering the side wings Prof Bar
nard does not claim all the credit for hk
invention as he is using by permission
several features employed by other ex
perimenters in aeronautics
