Mr. Entor. Then I make a motion to discharge that committee, if 
necessary. | 
The Speaker. The gentleman has spoken of a matter of custom 
’ having prevailed. Can the gentleman point out any other instance 
where the matter was treated otherwise? 
Mr. Enuor. If the Chair will excuse me, I am referring in this 
matter to some of my own personal experiences. If the Chair will 
agree that I shall furnish the authority hereafter, and not do as he did 
on another occasion recently, when I got up, in response to a request 
for certain authority, to furnish it to the Chair, when the Chair 
declined to receive it and declared the House adjourned; and when I 
announced my desire to submit the authority the Chair simply stated, 
‘“‘The gentleman can have the whole Hall to himself.” Now, if the 
Chair will give me an opportunity hereafter, and not do as was then 
done 
The Speaker. The-Chair is unable to pledge himself for the future. 
On that particular occasion the. Chair thought it was justified when 
the gentleman was interrupting the declaration of the adjournment of 
the House. 
Mr. Entor. I have no doubt that the Chair thought so; and I have 
no doubt the Chair thinks he is justified in doing a great many things 
in which I differ very materially with him. But it is not necessary to 
discuss that now. 
The Speaker. The Chair thinks not. 
Mr. Entor. Therefore I do not care to stop at this time to furnish 
the authority, but will take pleasure in looking it up later. 
Mr. Cannon. What is the motion? 
The SpEAKER. The gentleman moves that the committee be dis- 
charged from the further consideration of the resolution of inquiry. 
Mr. Entor. And I have the floor on that motion. I want that 
understood. 
Mr. Cannon. What is the committee? 
Mr. Entok. I believe I have the floor. 
Mr. Cannon. I am entitled to know. 
Mr. Entor. The gentleman of course is entitled to all the informa- 
tion he can possibly get. 
Mr. L. E. Arxrnson, of Penney avania: I am chairman of the 
committee. 
The SPEAKER. But what is the gentleman’s motion? 
Mr. Entor. To discharge the committee from the further consider-

The Speaker. What committee?

Department, to which it was referred by the Chair. é
