| plea to change the name and his refer
ence to MIR. Quay's efforts was received
with applause. Mr.. Dalies opposed the
name Quay on the ground that Mr..
Quay should be given more than the
pitiable honor of having a county
named after him. Mr.. Llewellyn said
he would yield TO no m in his ad-
miration for Senator Quay, but the
committee unanimously decided on
| Wood. The county lies next to Roose-
welt county and it is fitting that the
two counties should he created at the
same time. Mr.. Pendleton poked fun
at the members for speaking so fire.
quently when there are many ladies
present.
Cristoval Sanchez spoke in avo OF
| Quay. Mr.. Sanchez stopped to read a
telegram from Delegate Rodey that the
statehood fight is on. Every reference
to Quay. Wood and statehood was re-
ceived with unchecked applause. Mr..
Pedro Sanchez most vehemently urged
the name of Quay. Mr.. Sanchez said
if he had a son to be baptized he
should be named Quay. Mr.. Sanchez
pounded on Mr.. Llewellyn's desk with
such vigor that Mr.. Llewellyn protest
ed. The speaker held lie protest well
taken and ordered Mr.. Sanchez to re-
turn to his seat. Mr.. Sanchez d. not

and pounded on Mr.. Ilewellyn's desk
| with great force. Mr.. Llewellyn rather
angrily protested and the speaker
again ordered Mr.. Sanchez back to his
desk. Mr.. Sanchez continued to stand
in the middle of the room and after he
had most vehemently spoken for some
time, he was again ordered back to his
desk but again ~disregarded the order.
Mr.. Dalies finally raised the point that
Mr.. Sanchez was not speaking to the
question and the point was sustained.
The motion to table the amendment
was lost by 10 ayes to 8 nays. The
bill passed by 20 to A.
The bill to create Roosevelt county
caused a second prolonged fight. There
was a difference in the committee on
county and county lines regarding it.
Mr.. Gutierrez is chairman of the com
mittee and the other members were
ready to report the bill favorably. Mr..
Gutierrez declined to present it on the
| ground that he had not had sufficient
time to examine it. Mr.. Baca moved to
suspend the rules and receive a report
from the committee on county and
| county lines. Mr.. Gutierrez objected
to rushing bills through the house. He
said he Aad not been given an oppor.
tunity to examine the bill as he should
and the other members of the commit
tee were trying to force him to make
a report really before a bill reaches him
SO that he could look into it. Mr.. Baca
and Mr.. Llewellyn said that when a
bin is referred to a committee it goes
to the committee and not to the chair.
man alone. When the majority of the
committee is ready to report it should
be done. Mr.. Dalies moved that the
| chairman of the committee on county
and county lines make an immediate
report on amended council bill No. 4,
an act to create Roosevelt county. Mr..
Baca withdrew his motion as that by
Mr.. Dalies covered the case. Mr.. Bowie
protested against such action and said
Mr.. Gutierrez should be given time to
examine the bill at length. The report
was ordered by a vote of Is to II. Mr..
Romero moved to adjourn but the mo-
ton was lost by a vote of 6 to 16. Mr..
Gutierrez then commenced t prepare
his report and Mr.. Llewellyn presented
the majority report of the committee
recommending the passage of the bill.
The house waited some little time for
Mr.. Gutierlez to examine the bill and
then he made a report without recon-
m%endation on the ground hat he had
not been given sufficient time to look
into the matter. The majority report
of the committee was then adopted,
Mr.. Baca moved to suspend the rules
in order that the bill might be read the
first and second times. Mr.. Gutierrez
moved to table Mr.. Baca's motion and
on the roll call, used his privilege to
explain his vote to say hat he had
been unjustly treated and robbed of his
privileges as a member of the house.
He protested at some length. The mo-
ton 70 table was lost by 5 ayes to IS
nays. Eduardo Martinez at once
moved to adjourn but the motion was
lost. The roll was called on the motion
to suspend the rules and this resulted
in 10 ayes to 8 nays. AS a two-thirds
vote is necessary to suspend rules, the
motion failed. Mr.. Llewellyn at once
moved to go into a committee of the
whole to consider the bill. Mr.. Kill
patrick insisted that the refusal of the
house to suspend the rules caused the
bill to take its regular course. The
speaFed read the rule Of the national
house IF representatives on the subject
and it makes it unnecessary even to
go into a committee of the whole and
permits action to be taken. Mr.. Nil
patrick then moved to adjourn and il
