chair when Mr.. Martinez moved to ad
journ until 10 in the morning, but tn
chairman ruled him out of order be
cause he was making the motion Will

amendment to change the name tt
Quay. Mr.. Llewellyn moved to tabl,
the amendment. Mr.. Bowie made 6
plea to change the name and his refer,
,ence to Mr.. 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 county nam
ed after him. Mr.. Llewellyn said he
io1d IN tn, F,io
tion for Senator Quay, but the COM
mittee unanimously decided on Wood.
The county lies next to Roosevelt
county and it is fitting that the two
counties should be created at the same
time. Mr.. Pendleton poked fun at the
members for speaking so frequently
when there are many ladies present.
Mr.. Cristoval Sanchez spoke in favor 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 vehementl.- urged
the name of Quay. Mr.. Sanchez said
IL he had 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 the protest well
taken and ordered Mr.. Sanchez to re-
turn to his seat Mr.. Sanchez did not
return and soon again forgot himself
and pounded on Mr.. Llewellyn'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 10 nays. The
amendment was then adopted and the
name changed by Is ayes to 8 nays.
The bill passed by 20 to-
The bill to create Roosevelt county
caused second prolonged fight. There
was difference In the committee on
county and county lines regarding 1t.
Mr.. Gutierrez is chairman Of the COM
mittee and the other members were
ready to report the bill favorably. Mr..
Gutierrez declined to present 1t on the
grounds that he had not had suff1cient
time to examine 1t. Mr.. Baca moved to
suspend the rules and receive report
from the committee on county and
county lines. Mr.. Gutierrez objected to
rushing bills through the House. He
said he had not been given an oppor-s
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 bill reaches him
30 that he could look into 1t. Mr.. Baea
and Mr.. Llewellyn said that when q |
bill IL referred to committee 1t goes to |
the committee and not to the chairman
alone. When the majority of the com
mittee 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. 1.
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 vote Of Ii to IL. Mr.
Romero moved to adjourn but the mo- |
ton was lost by vote OF to 16 Mr.
autierrex then commenced to prepare
his report and Mr.. Llewellyn presented
the majority report of the committee
the passage OF the Dill.
The House waited some little time Tor
Mr.. Gutierrez to examine the bill ana
then he made report without recon-
on the ground that ne 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 that he had been
nnjustly treated and robbed Of his
privileges as : member Of the House,
