The speaker ordered the doors closed, and the sprgeant-al-aims summoned. A noil of the House was taken. Mem bers .who wcio scattered in other patts of the Capitol made frantic efforts to leach the House before the doois were locked.

The speaker warned the members to evince more interest in the proceedings in the futuie and answer plainly to their names when the roll was called. Apathy, of the members was ascribed to the parade tomorrow. The proposed parade of the Iron Division heroes has awakened moie in terest among members of the House than a circus parade arouses among a crowd of school bos. Since Mondaj little more than passing interest has been taken in legislative business, Virtually all conversation deals with the parade. The last previous poll of the House was taken in 1913 when George K. Alter, an independent of Allegben county, was speaker. The House lacked a quorum arid sergeants-at-arms were sent over the city and to Philadelphia to arrest members and bring them to the House.
