Chalmers Anti Newspaper
Bill Killed in the
Council.
Was Introduced Because Claims
for Printing Had Been
Presented.
Territorial Lawmakers Refuse to Pay
the Publishers for Their
Work

PHOENIX, ARIZ., March S.-Speaker
Chalmers antrAewspaper bill, which
passed the Assembly on Saturday. has
been killed in the upper house OF the
Legislature. 1t was laid on the table and
is not likely to receive hearing at this
session. Thus perishes one OF the most
unique measures ever passed by legls-
lative body in this civilized age.
The introduction of this bill by Speaker
Chalmers was the elimination OF fight
between the ultra-economists and those
disposed to be at least fair toward the
newspapers of the Territory. Chalmers
bill made it q felony to publish or edit
newspaper within the Territory, pre-
scribed from ten to twenty years impris-
onment for the crime, and revoked the
Governors power to pardon in such cases.
Chalmers is a clever satirist, and intro
duced the bill apparently in good faith.
The House caught the spirit OF the joke,
suspended the rules. pushed the bill to
second reading and then to final passage,
the measure going through by good ma
jority. half-hour later several econom-
ical Solons were on their feet explainiE <
that they had nothing against newspapers
and had never done anything in ali their
lives to offend them. This, however, was
following very closely upon the heels OF a
vote to Kill! all the newspaper claims in
the general deficiency bill-a vote that
came at the end of long debate and sew
eral secret sessions.
Some of the newspapers had claims in
for printing reports and many of them
claimed modest sums for furnishing
copies to the last Legislature. All OF
these claims had been stricken out and
some bitterness was thereby engendered.
1t has been the ;ustom since the earliest
days for the Legislature to return the
courtesy OF the newspapers in supplying
free copies by voting them a nominal
sum. Those who opposed the precedent
are also the ones who voted Tor big items
of questionable character.

was chilled to the bone, and, it now
develops, contracted severe cold. He
was at his work as usual to-day, however,
and may work off the i'll effects OF the cold
in few days. Otherwise he IS in great
fette for the contest.
Word comes in from Genoa to the effect
that Billy Smith and Martin Flaherty are
training assiduously for their respective
fights and are rapidly getting into shape.
Smith has been having some difficulty in
getting off superfiuous weight, but says he
will be in prime condition on the day he
meets Green.

the latter are asked to consider themselves

otherwise. II it did contemplate te taking
any action it is hardly likely that 1t would
permit its operations to attain SO much
prominence. Do you understand what

not understand just what he meant. In

words and let the sporting world worry

There was nothing of the mysterious
about United States Marshal Humphrey

matter, but at the same time he evinced

Hotel when he was closeted with Living
ston.
"Oh, that was only little matter that
had no public interest attached to it what
ever" said Humphrey. "In fact l have

You say there is rumor that the Govern

STARVING ON OREGON RANGES.

PORTLAND, Or, March S.-The ques-
tion as to what shall be done with Oregon
horses is being effectively settled on East.
ern Oregon rang es, where animals are per-
ishing by hundreds and even thousands
this winter.
Roaming over the ranges OF the noun
tain slopes are mum berless bands OF
horses that are dying through starvation
and exposure. The winter is unusually
sever e in the mountains, and even cattle
whic b are taken care OF have suffered
some. The ranges are barren and it
passes the memory of the settlers when
the conditions were such as they now are.
Whole herds of horses are seen along
the stage road. The fam ished beasts have
gnawed each others tails and names off.
They are so weak that they can scarcely
more than walk. frequently half-dozen
horses will be found frozen in a snow
bank, where they have stun bled and
stuck fast and are unable to get out.

Capitot Buildim1 for Phen41.

PHGNlX. ARIz, March S.-Governor
Franklin to-day signed the bill passed by
the Legislature authorizing the issuance
of $10O, 900 of per cent bonds to build a
capitol building in Phoenix, and there is
great rejoicing in tne city. Heretofore
the Territory has rented apartments in
the City Hall for its officers and the Leg
islature. A site containing ten acres was
donated by General NJ. E. Collins several
years ago, but the United States Govern
ment would not build house for the Ter
ritory. This measure will have to be ap-
proved by Congress before the bonds can
be issued.
