LEGISLATIVE POINTERS,

The House committee on privileges
and elections will meet this evening to
consider the McCash VS.. Holland con
test and will probably report tomorrow
William Henry Lawson, Jr, of Mont
gomery, Alabama, with offices at Is Dey
street, New York City, was an interested
watcher of legislative proceedings in
the House this afternoon.
The attendance of spectators in both
houses this afternoon was rather slim.
The lateness of the Santa Fe train
from the south explained the absence OF
three members In the House and four
in the Council this afternoon. The train
did not reach Santa Fe until after four
o'clock.
Mrs. Fitzpatrick, wife OF the member
from Santa Fe county, was visitor in
the House this afternoon.

is contesting the seat of Hon. j. 5. Hol-
land, is a regular attendant at legisa.

Surveyor-General Morgan o. Llewel-
lyn was among the visitors to the House
this afternoon.
Hon. Nestor Montoya, speaker of the
House, returned from a business trip is

vent this afternoon, but the members
from the south declared that it was no
circumstance to the dust storms in the
southern part of the territory at THO
time of the year.
The bills introduced In the House
this afternoon are Of unusual import
ance. The bill by Mr.. Llewelyn, relat-
ing to married women, provides that
the property of married woman can
not be seized for the debts Of her hus-
band. The local option bill by Mr..
Montoya, the elections bill by Mr. PEN
dleton, Mr.. Coleman's fellow servant
bill and Mr.. Turner's corporation bill
are all Of great moment.

ell for lack of a quorum, President J.

Spiess followed the proceedings in the
House.
Hon. w. S. Hopewell was visitor In
the House this afternoon.

ern Union county and northeastern
Guadalupe county with Tucumcari as
the county seat. Mr.. Llewellyn propos-
es to name the county after the gall
liant General Leonard Wood, who
claims New Mexico as his home, being
large taxpayer and extensive owner
OF sheep in this territory.

little fellow with him for about three
miles. He then set him down to return
home, and felt no nneasiness as the road
was we'll beaten. On reaching home in

rived, and large number Of searchers
hunted until ten o'clock the next day
before finding him. He was fully twen-

loaned by the bank. 1t is pasted at the

q personal responsibility many times
greater than the capital stock OF any
bank In the Pecos valley. 1t is signed
BY cattle owners, and is for the prelim-
mary expense of securing legislation In
favor OF the drift fence movement.
About twenty Of those Interested met
and signed the note referred to and
agreed to pay . proportionate share Of
expenses not to exceed $4,000. Individ-
ual liability will be assumed In propor-
tion to the amount of live stock held by
each one as shown on the roll OF 1902.

THE HOUSE.
AFTERNOON Session.)

(Afternoon Session.)
The roll call showed that Messrs
Bowie, Dalies, Howard, Martinez, ant
Pollard were absent. Prayer by the
chaplain.
Mr.. Baca introduced House Joint Me-
United States, asking that the Fort
Marcy reservation be granted to the
city of Santa Fe for public use. The
following is the text of the memorial:
Be it Resolved, That the following
Joint Memorial be adopted by the 35th
legislative assembly of the Territory of
New Mexico:
To the President of the United States:
Your memorialist. the 35th legislative
assembly Of the Territory Of New Mex
leo. submit for your consideration in be-
half of the people of the Territory:
That situate in the ancient and his
toric City Of Santa Fe, cornering on the
Rain public square or plaza" is tract
of government land consisting of some
Is acres, more or less, on which was es-
tablished a military post by executive
order dated August 2S, 1868, but which
had been used for military purposes by
the Spaniards, Mexican and American
authorities successfully for more than
a century prior to that date. 1t was re-
linquished by executive order October /,
1891, and by similar order June Is, 1895,
was transferred to the interior depart
ment. The buildings on this tract Of
land number 20 or more, and with the
exception Of small brick cottage are
constructed Of adobe mud, and are in a
dilapidated tumbled-down and most
unsightly condition.
That ever since this post was first
abandoned by executive order, nearly
IL years ago, it has been the subject of
grave agitation among the people Of
the Capital City of this Territory; it
has long served as an eye-sore for
strangers and visitors in the city,
causing adverse comment upon the
people Of that community, upon the ter
ritory, and upon the federal govern
ment, and has stood as bone of con-
tention among citizens, not only of the
city, but Of the territory, and has divi-
ded that community into contending
factions and engendered bitter feelings
because of the various divergent opin-
Ions touching its final disposition.
Repeated efforts have been made to
induce the interior department, so long
in control Of the property to make
some disposition Of it, but representa-
tives of local factions with more or less
influence have presented the subject at
Washington from time to time and so
plansibly colored these opposing posi-
tion as to create confusion in the minds
OF the federal officials; hence year after
year has passed, the improvements on
the property, none too good at the be-
ginning, have fallen into decay, ana
still the matter is held in abeyance. So
that at best the monetary value Of this
remnant Of the old post, If sold by the
interior department, would amount to
but mere pittance to our great nat
ional government.
Your memorialist would further res.
pectfully represent, that the govern
ment OF the United States now has IN

have w.
the most serio.- ....,
which no other people
main Of the United States hav.
had to contend within order to attain
whatever of enlightenment and the
spirit Of progressive American citizen-
ship they today possess; they have been
compelled to depend upon their own
limited resources, contending against
an arid climate, in the midst Of unset
tied social conditions, Characteristic Of
the frontier, while at the same time
carrying on continuous warfare for
more than a quarter of century with
savage Indians within their borders.
Yet, Notwithstanding these many draw
backs, 1t can be truthfully asserted
that they have made good and commen-
able progress in the cause Of education,
and are well worthy the helping hand
OF every true American. If, half CEN
tury ago, the United States govern
ment, as by every moral and humane
right 1t should have done, had sent
trainioads Of teachers into New Mexi-
&c az it has done for the Philippines
and other newly acquired territories,
this population would rank today with
the most enlightened and industrious
communities of our common country.
For what they have done in the matter

BASEBALL FEVER IS
BECOMING PREVALENT
Many Aggravated Cases AL
ready Discovered and Relief
Almost Despaired Of

Now that both the Wilmington A. A. and
wilmington baseball clubs have an
nounced their players. baseball talk is
heard almost everywhere and much spec
uiation regarding the respective merits
of the teams is being INDUCED in.
or course quite a few OF the players on
both teams are known In Wilmington, but
There are several strangers, and II they
make good they will be taken to the bos-
oms of local rooters, who are ever ready
ito press the heroes OF the diamond 20
their hearts, but IL they display any but
ter finger" tendencies at critical moments,
woe unto them. They viii be roasted un-
mercifully. 1t is not likely however that
this will be the case as all the new men
come here upon the recommendation OF old
players.
Prospects now point TO even better
season this year than last as the follow
ers of both teams are already "whooping
things up" and by the time the season
opens the craze will be at fever heat.
The seating capacity at both parts will
be enlarged before the season opens. At
South Side Park the outheid will be much
better this yeara than last. as much clay
was put in the right field last fall TO leved
1t up for football purposes.
