Shortly afterward the same point was
made, and the chair requested that it be
not insisted on, but Mr.. Fall said dryly
that he would prefer the point to be sus-
tanned, as he could accept no courtesies
from the senator from Bernalillo.
The committee of the whole then rose to
receive amessage from the house announc-
ing the passage of H. B. No. So, provid-
ing for the Spanish printing of bills, etc.,
and the concurrence of the council in the
amendments to house amendments No. s,
providing for pay of employees. Mr..
Martinez took the floor when the COM
mittee came to order and renewed his
fight on his colleague, Mr.. Veeder, quoting
from the Peoples party platform demand
ing $4,000 exemption on property occupied
as homestead" Speaking to the coun-
Gil in general he said: IF you are great,
show your heart of greatness and no not
despise the ignorance of these poor peo-
pie; when they ask you for exemption OF
$500, do not make it on personal prop
erty." He went on saying that if his
colleague wished to raise more money
why was it that he returned his OWL
property worth 100000 and more at $l0,-
900? "When you want to do any
thing for the people it is we'll to begin
with ones self"
Mr.. Veeder then sailed into Mr.. Martinez
connection with the Las Vegas grant suit,
and asserted that he had written letter
to Hon. T. B. Catron, asking for Gods
sake to have his name taken off the
papers, as he could not afford to be pub
licly known in any such matter.
Mr.. Martinez holly denied this, and
made satisfactory explanation of the
letter in question, winding up by saying
that no man ever heard him beg to be let
off from anything he had ever done.
The next speaker was Mr.. Sanchez who
paid his caustic respects to both Mr..
Veeder and Mr.. Fall, which aroused an at
tack by these gentlemen on Mr.. Sanchez
concerning his vote in favor of the repeal
of the exemption. Points of order and
questions of privilege were numerous,
but as the whole matter was foreign to
the merits of the amendment and in the
nature of ancient history report thereof
would hardly be of practical interest nc
matter how amusing.
Mr.. Saint made a speech declaring
himself fatty against exemption as he
thought it unwise and bad legislation.
A motion finally prevailed that the
committee rise and report progress.
The council then on motion of Mr.. Fal
decided to make the consideration of the
bill special order for Monday. The indica
lions now are that the 5000 exemption
will pass the council by vote Of eight
to four.
On suggestion of the president H. B
No. SO, introduced by Mr.. Barela, provid
ing for printing the bills, ETC., in Spanish
was taken up and on motion of Mr.. Fall
the rules were suspended and the bill con
sidered, put through the various readings
and passed. The council then adjourned
until 10 o'clock a. IN.
THIS MORNINGS SESSION.
Immediately after the assembling o
the council Mr.. Martinez was excused
from attendance until Monday morning
Mr.. Saint then moved that the sergeant
alarms be instructed to keep the cham
Der open during all hours of the day ant
a portion of the night so that members
might have ingress to the council hall.

Mr.. Fall moved tosuspend the rules ant

Hubbell called for the yeas and nays
which resulted in 6 in the affirmative ant

being two-thirds of the vote cast, the bill
