Cripple Creek, Colo, Dec. s.--rhe dee
laration of martial law has paraszed all

pickets of the National guard are stationed
on all street corners and many residents
of the city do not venture upon the streets.
Provost Marshal Thomas l.. McClclland

amendment would fix the matter properly.
The MacGinniss amendment would mean
countless Notwithstanding il would mean
as much litigation to secure a change of
venue as there would be on actual trial.
He doubted whether under such provision
1t would be possible to ever get change
OF venue. He believed the legislation
proposed by the two bills before the house
would stop rs per cent OF the litigation
i'll Silver Bow county.
Lynch said he was not speaking for
either side to the controversy in Silver
Bow county, but the conditions which pre-
vailed there recently when the mines were
closed were not good for the community.
After MacGinnss had spoken again. his
amendment was voted down without divi-
sion.
Wood, of Lewis and Clarke offered an
amendment providing that, it shall be the
duty OF the judge of the district in which
the action is pending to forthwith secure
the services Of some other district to act
in the case.
What Stapleton Said.
Stapleton said this amendment had been
threshed out in the judiciary committee.
Some thought that il would have the effect
of voiding the whole measure. While he
would not say the amendment was uncon-
stitutional yet there were grave doubts on
that point, and he did not want TO inject
anything into the bill that would cause any
doubts as to the validity of the law
MacGinniss favored the Word amend
ment and took advantage of the occasion
to make another extended talk.
The Word amendment vast lost and
the bill recommended for passage with the
Everett amendment. which limits disquali-
hcations to five judges and which is as the
republicans in caucus decided TO have it.
The committee then arose and reported
to the house. Conner moved to adopt the
report. MacGinniss moved as an amend
ment TO indefinitely postpone the bill. He
gave lot of reasons for his motion,
among them being these: That 1t was a
reflection on the judiciary, expensive to
itigants, against speedy trials, gives dis
appointed 1itigants the chance to defame
judges without the judges being allowed to
reply, makes il impossible to get self-re-
specting lawyers to hold judicial Offices
takes from the people the right to choose
| their own judges and n number OF other
reasons meant as an argument on the mo-
| tion to postpone indefinitely.
The motion to postpone indefinitely was
lost by viva voce vote and the report
| adopted the same way.
MacGinniss wanted the journal cor
| rected to show that rule 10. relating to
the order OF business was suspended OH
| the first day OF the session without one
| days notice as required in the rule re.

change in rule nor was the rule re.
scnded. 1t was suspended by two
thirds vote of the house at the sugges
ton of the committee on rules. He rulet
that the house was working properly un
| der the rules.
The house then took a-recess until 3 :3e
