DECEDENTS' ESTATES
The special order [H. R. 223] was now called up, the question being on Mr. Shively's amendment striking out the word "fifty dollars," when it refers to filing of claims of that amount and upward.
Mr. DEEM moved an amendment to the amendment by inserting "one hundred dollars" instead of "fifty dollars."
Mr. FRAZER made an ineffectual motion-yeas, 36; nays, 48-to postpone indefinitely the amendment to the amendment.
Mr. FRAZER moved the previous question, which was seconded by the House and under its operation the amendment to the amendment was adopted.
The amendment as amended was agreed to by yeas, 46; nays, 37.
On motion by Mr. FRAZER the bill as amended was ordered engrossed.
