Chairman W. T. Ram sey, of the committee on rules, which makes up the calendar, was Incensed by the action of members skipping all over a calendar of nearly forty pages yesterday and after half a dozen starts had been made on third reading bills started to object to the calling up of bills out of place. Some of the bills were on the postpbned calendar and were in danger of being dropped unless ex tension of time was granted and the action of the chairman precipitated a panic. Finally he agreed that he would not object to calling up of bills to move extensions or nients after the business was over. "This proposition or members call ing up bills from any part of the calendar makes all sorts of trouble," said the chairman. "We have the calendars arranged for the orderly dispatch of business and unless we stick to them we will be hopping all around. 1 shall object to calling up bills out of order."
