LEGISLATIVE NOTES Representative Bradford Writes of Happenings in General Assembly. , Apparently there is little left for the house of representatives to do at the present session further than to pass a few relatively unimportant statewide measures, give its assent to a number of county supply bills and devote the necessary attention to conference reports on bills which have been amended, in the senate. There is the promise of two more weeks of the session, which already has run one week over the constitutional 40-day . limJt,> When the session opened on January 11 many members of both houses expressed the hope that its work would be finished in five weeks at most, but instead we seo the session lasting longer than any session of recent years, and this, too, in the face of the fact that this yeur, more than ever there was reason for relieving the tax-payers of every item of expense not absolutely necessary. Few perhaps know that the daily session of the legislature cost more than $2,000r but it Is a fa.ct nevertheless, and with the session running 20 days overtime it is a simple matter of multipli cation to ascertain that the people will;' be required to put up more than $40,000 extra this year to meet the expense of the body for its sitting beyond the. time the constitution-makers thought necessary, Legislation was hurried along In the house this year at a slip that made for early adjournment, but when the revenue bills and , other important measures readied the senate so much time was consumed there in considering them that all thought of ending the session on time went into the discard. Another reason for the prolonged session is found in the time devoted to hearings. The rrar,o,<oi cinnrAwiotinii hill for instance S""' way passed by the house and forwarded to"the senate on February 18. Since then the bill has been in the finance committee of tho senate, which meanwhile has devoted the principal paVt of each legislative day to listening to the heads of the departments i and institutions pleading for approf priatlons just as they already had done before the ways and means committee of the house. The budget commission law provides that the hearings of these committees on the appropriation bill shall be held Jointly; but the budget commission law is a piece of legislation honored more in the breach than in the observance, and if it is not repealed within the next year or two a number of members of both the house and senate will have missed their guess. ! The resienation last week of Sena r tor Christensen of Beaufort couruy i from the chairmanship of the senate i' finance committee, on the ground that t in the upper body business had won ? over agriculture when agriculture > was in. desperate straits, seems to . have had the effect of gaining a new > lease on life for one or two of the I revenue bills which that body had flis? posed of unfavorably. One of these i measures was the proposed tax on ; hydro-electric plants, passed by the i house early in the session and which i was expected to produce several hunt di ed thousand dollars annually for the 3 state treasury. Last week the bill was . reintroduced in the house and this f week the senate will bo given another opportunity to put it to sleep. Friends of the bill claim th-.t it is one of the a fairest measures proposed in years tc raise revenue and that its opponents i, will have a hard time convincing f their constituents to the contrary j The luxuries tax bill, another lmpor. tant measure, from which its supporte ers say that more than a million dolr lurs a year would flow into the treass ury to lower to that extent the l< vj r on real estate, has met with the dis _ rr.vor or tne senate nuance committee . but it may get into the statutes aftei v all as a result of the shaking up thai ^ body experienced last week. None ol _ the new revenue measures, it might L be said, was conceived by any memj ber of either house, but all were proposed by Governor Cooper. h The public printing of the state is y not one of the major items of expense f for the people, but it annually calls n for an expenditure of something like if ! $60,000. Under the constitution, the e ! only control the legislature has of thi il printing is to let it out "on contract,' a 1 incidentally at whatever price tin s pleasure of the bidders dictates. The ?. I resolution recently offered in the s I house by Mr. Bradford proposing to e I take out of the constitution the words vtv- - v r . t: rtUNdlARIANS SPIRITED Chief Administrator of Laws Fights Three Duels in Week. Minister of Justice Tomcsany has fcught three duels within a week, snys a Budapest, Hungary dispatch. As I there is a life-imprisonment punisnment for dueling and a murder charge if a duelist kills his opponent, it may seem odd that the chief administrator of laws should be so active a duellist himself. But, laws or no laws, if Tcmcsany refused to fight he could not remain in political life. ' Duelling Is epidemic in Hungary, and almost all the duels are political. After every sitting .of tho Parliament there are five or six duels. The duelling is between the biggest men in the body, and a! party leader can hardly expect to get through the session without fighting a dozen men. Some few politicians, sudh .as Tomcsany, Count Bnttiany or Rakowsky, probably will fight thirty duels apiece this year. The slightest remark in the Parlla- j rr.ent which could possibly reflect upon j some other member resultu in a challenge. , Oden von Benitsky, the leader of the Legitimists, was yecently called upon to fight three duels in one day. The World's Budapest correspondent has frequently seen political duels, as well as -private duels?which also are getting to be more common than they used to be. For that matter, the duelling column in the Budapest papers, which is published dally under a standing head, is the first part of the paper everybody in Budapest turns to at the breakfast table. The general public is interested in every successful blow and the opponents are greeted on the street by their friends with comments on their good or bad swordsmanship. For nearly all duels are fought with sabres. When occassionally a duel is fought witl. pistols, old duelling pistols which have no sights are used. Of the two the sabre is the more deadly. , The World correspondent witnessed ' one of Minister Tomcsnny's duels. It took place In a fencing hall where mcst of these duels are fought. The combatants were first in separate rooms, where they stripped to tights and tennis shoes, their only protection being . bandages about the jugular . veins. This protection is not always given but in political duels it almost always is. The seconds measured the distance while the doctors prepared bandages, compresses, needles &c. The combatants stood back to back four yards apart and at the wcrd swung around and began slashing at each other according to the rules of sabre fighting. As both men were practised sabre "on contract" will cure this condition if it is approved by the people in the general election next November and ' is ratified at the 1023 session of the legislature. The state will then be in position to say to bidders for the public printing that they must ask reasonable prices for the work or that other arrangements will be made to have it done. The resolution passed both the house and senate without a dissenting vote. | BETTER 1 We believe the day is fast 9 this section will "live at home an saying goes.

Immediately the doctors stopped the fight, closed the wound, and said ti e duel could not go on as one irlan was incapacitated. This, incidentally, they always do as soon as blood is seriously drawn Jt j someumes nappeua, ua i nr Wqrld correspondent has soon, that two duellists have been so equally matched they have fought to exhaustion after hours of action without drawing blood. These political duels are ui necessary, even' ohildish and can be avoided if one wishes. The distinguished Codnt Apponyi, for ins': nee, 1i:ls been a member, of the Hungarian Parliament fifty years, and never has fought a duel. He has alwaya kept his head and never has made a remark which could be stretched into an Insult. This was courtesy, however, not due to fear of a duel. It is difficult to keep out of a duel here. What with the narrowed interests that have come about since the war, and the troubles over the tjhronc question, there are so many duels no one can keep count cf them. They occur over the most trivial matters. One evening recently an English of ncer in muru was suung m a wwuci and the Hungarian next to him kept jlgglihg his chair. The former asked politely enough if his neighbor could not change his position a little. A slight altercation arose but pc.ssed off quietly. So the Englishman was surprised to be challenged to a duel the next day. He wanted to laugh It off but the seconds of the other man insisted, so he had to accept. Otherwise he could hardly have remained here. He chose pistole and the duel was arranged. At the word "Fire" he shot into the ground. Seeing this the Hungarian fired his remaining two shots into the ground and the affair was quite satisfactorily settled. HATCHED BENEATH SftOW. Leghorn Hen Resents Attempt to Remove White Coverlet. Farmer Charle9 W. A. Sterns of River avenue, Lakewood, N. J., owns what he considers the champion cold weath er naicmng nen or isew jersey, yesterday, says the New York World -of Monday, he showed eight exceedingly husky and lively baby chicks to prove his claim. St The hen is an ordinary white Leghorn, less than a year old. She was almost compeletly buriod beneath snow during most of thp twenty-one days of hatching. ? . The Leghorn disappeared three weeks ago and was found In a corner of a small building, through the wire front of which the snow had blown until she was covered. She kept on the job through all the severe-weather and pocked viciously at Mr. Sterns when he brushed some of the snow from her head and wings. When the ch.cks were hatched they and the.mother were placed in a warm [ coop. How the hen secured food during her hatching is something that Farmer Stern/j doesn't know. 1. ; ? ' ?
