SCENES OF WILD DISORDER
Mark the Closing Of the Arizona Legis.
lature
The Assembly Denounces the Governor, Who
RetnIiates With Charges Of Bribery
and General Crookedness

PHOENIX, Ariz., March 19.-The
closing scenes of the Arizona legislature
shortly after midnight this morning
were marked by disorder passing that
even usual at such times. Scores OF
bills remained oil the calendar, and as
each member blocked the attempt OF
his neighbor that his own bill might be
considered, little business was done.
Despite this, however, the two houses
during the day and evening sent thirty
four bills to the governor for signature.
OF this number all but eleven were
signed Shortly before midnight the
house passed a resolution asking the
governor to return with his signature
bills exemptng from taxes for five and
ten years works for mineral reduction,
storage reservoirs and canals. and sugar
beet works and the lands used in the
cultivation of sugar beets. The execu-
tive made no reply, whereupon. on mo-
tion of Cowan, Democrat, of Mohave,
the house passed by a vote of 20 to 4,
the following resolution:
Resolved, That 1t is the sense of this
legislature that the best interests of
the territory demand an immediate
change in the Office of governor"
bled, and in its stead, BY a vote of two
to one. resolution was adopted stating
that "the council has implicit confidence
in the ability and integrity of the present
governor. the Hon. b. ]. Franklin
The matter has created intense feeling
among the Democrats of the territory,
ard ugly revelations concerning several
of the members of the legislature are
hinted at in the executive offices.
Governor Franklin, in retaMation upon
the assembly for its action, told today
that he had heard that the bill taxing
the bullion output of mines had been
killed through bribery at $1,000 each of
member of the assembly and one Of the
council. He also charges a member of
the Pima legislative delega tion with ap-
preaching one of the administration
members with proposition for the pay
ment OF $500 to be paid should the gov
ernor sign the bill for rein statement of
salaries Of county officials, a measure
that would take thousands of dollars
from the county treasures. The bill
was passed over the governors veto by
a majority of one. one of the votes be-
ing that of Cowan, who moved the vote
of censure on the governor. As Cowan
was a beneficiary under the bill, the
governor asserts that his veto stands

being generally congratulated on his
capture of the X.of telesrams.
At 1890 p. m. the assembly too k up
famous bill 314. and after a hot hght' IN
which Capt. Cross led the railroad forces,
the bill was amended by adding section
exempting street cars ard stage lines
from its provisions. Owing to the fact
that Dryden, Populist member from
San Diego, and other Populists have
gone home. the Cross amendment car
ried-27 ayes, to 26 noes. That practi-
cally kills the bill, and the neglect of the
Populists to attend to their legislative
duties is the cause.

petition to the writ had failed to do, and
in addition. the senate's resolution OF
commitment and the proceedings and
orders in the superior court Of Sacra-
mento county and of the. supreme court.
Assistant Attorney General Anderson
contended that the well-settled rule was
that where the state courts had decided
the proceedings to be in conformity with
the state law. the federal courts could
only inquire whether the law itself was
in conflict with the federal constitution.
and not as to the regularity of the pro-
ceedings.
Garrett McErerrey argued that the
petitioners were being deprived of their
liberty without due process of law, be-
cause they would not surrender right
guaranteed them by the federal constl-
tuition, and therefore, the federal
courts had jurisdiction to protect them.
Brief speeches were made by Charles
H. Eggerty and ]. c. Jones on technical
matters.
Judge Morrow decided that the rule
applicable TO the case was that the fed
eral courts would not interfere by habeas
corpus where the same questions could
be raised by writ of error from the SUI
preme court of the state to that OF the
United States.

Amendment of the Highway Act.

1t is hopeful sign that the Commits

ments absolutely essential to render the
with favor by those who have clamored Cor
the in mediate and unconditional repeal Of
this legislation. For the amendments
which change the method of paying for
street extension and for maintaining the
new streets hereafter The Star began to
contend as soon the law was enacted.
TIE Eoard Of Trade has on several DC
casions placed itself squarcly on record as
to the vital necessity of these amend
msnts.
That the proposed plan of extension was
too comprehensive and expensive has also
long beer recognized, ard in 1896 the Board
of Trade appointed a special committee to
report amendments to the law which would
render the project more conservative. 1t is
this committee which is working in CO.
operatio with the Commissioners to de-
wise a scheme of amendments which will
preserve to the community the benefits Of
W Use and systematic street extension while
eliminating the evils of the present law.
The Board of Trade is to act upon the
matter on the Goth instant, and it is much
to be desired that after that meeting the
whole unity-Commissioners Board
of Trade and citizens generally-wiil he
found shoulder to- shoulder in urging upon
Congress- not unconditional repeal of the
highway act, but its amendment in the
vital points indicated, with repeal only as
a last alternative.

1t is a surprising thing that any political

was productive of much harm, both to
the public service and to political organ

were necessarily always numerous. and the
