Autumn in New Mexico.

Summer has its beauties in the II

Arbitration at The Hague was not

Roosevelt to become the arbitrator. The
vital feature Of this demand was that

4 BAD OUTLOOK
 FOR LABOR LAWS
Two Fell in the House, One
 Menaced in the Council
Defeat of the Council Bill For Chang ing Boundaries of Judicial Dis triets-An Equal Suffrage Meas ure Put Before the House.

Things happened in both branches of the legislature yesterday. A disinclina- tion was manifested in both to be bound by the gentlemen who foregathered and constructed the territorial democratic platform at Tucson. There was what is believed to be a test vote in the council indicating the deteat of the eight hour bill when it comes to vote. The anti b1acklisting bill was defeated in the house and something else hap pened there which made the labor members of that body believe that the coalition between them and the demo- cratic majority is an urholy alliance. The bill requiring the label of the h. terna ational Typographical Union to be attached to all public printing was de- feated. The downfall of this bill as well as that of the anti-blacklisting bill were accomplished by narrow ma joritieS.

THE HOUSE.

, When the house convened in the af- ternoon there were noticed in the gal lery several women who have been prominent in this territory in the equal suffrage movement. It was evident that something was going to be doing in that line. It came about late in the session when MT Morrison asked for q disarrangement of the order that new bills might be introduced. IL was done and he presented house bill No. S1 conferrirg the right of suffrage on all women in the territory over tine age with open arms and in view of it's greater importance Mr. Rowe who is famous for gallantry moved that in stead of the usual number of copies, la0, there be printed of this bill 1,000 copies. It was so ordered. The bars for new bills having been thrown down, Mir. O'Conner introduced house bill No. & changing the boundaries of the judi cial districts. It is somewhat different from the Ives bill which had just been killed in the council. It groups the coun- ties as follows: Maricopa and Pinal; Pima, Yuma and Santa Cruz: Gila, Graham and Cochise. The advantage of this bill over the former one is that there is a contigUity among the coun- ties in each district.
 Early in the day the anti-blacIliist- ing bill was taken up for final disposi- tion. It was defeated by a vote of F to II. It's mangled remains had hardly
 
 ing the union label on all territoria: printed matter vas brought forth for execution which was accomplished by d vote of 13 to II.
 Both of these bills had the fullest en- dorsement of organized labor of which MT. Barrow of Yavapai is one of the foremost champions. When the first bill was defeated MT. Barrow arose and | the legislature was not going to enact any useful legislation it would bo well for the house when it adjourned to ad- journ to the Wells building and thereby save car fare that would have to be paid to the capitolI Some Of the mem bers seemed to be hurt by this sugges- 1 tion and d motion was made for a se- | cret session, presumably on Barrow. i When the last bill went by the board, MT. Barrow turned to another member, MT. Williams who had voted against | it and remarked what was understood to be that the house consisted of elev- l en flair" men and thirteen "scabs. " This Was reported by the member to whom MT Barrow had classified the house and another secret session was | ordered The galleries were cleared, | the committee clerks were driven into their dens and the house was left alone with it's God. What happened there will net be made known until the last great day when the graves shall give up their dead, when the heavens shall be rolled | together as a scroll and the earth be consumed with d fcrVent heat. Then shall it be known what happened to MT. Barrow. When the secret session was over and the doors were thrown open all appeared placid and the mem bers were smiling.
 The following new bills were intro duced: By MT. Whiteside, to amend

N Cummings, clerk of the board of supervisors of Santa Cruz county for salary paid a clerk; by MT. O'Connell for the maintenance of indigents by counties: by Mir. Marian, in relation to the employment of deputy constab bles. Mir Morrison introduced a bill which will provoke a fight. It proposes slight reapportionment of legislative delegations by taking one member from the Pinal delegation and adding one to
 the Yavapai membership. Graham is looking with envious eye on the hole in the legislative delegation to be made by the cutting out of one of the mem bers of Pinal. The latter courty and
 what friends it can muster will en- deavor to prevent any readjustment, so that the contest will be a three corner ed enc. This bill before following the usual course, being sent to the printer was committed to the committee on elections.

 pate in that exposition whose scope he outlined in an interes ting fifteen min | ute talk. At the conclusion Of his ad- dress MT. Rowe offered a resolution
 recommending the acceptance of the
 invitation extended by Mir Freeman
 ar the consideration of plans for par
 ticipating in the exposition represented by him.
 When the committee rose the report including MT. Rowe's resolution was
 submitted and the chief clerk was di- 1ected to read it. He stalled midway and the gentleman who offered it was called upon to translate it. He accom-
 plished that task with some difficulty and the resolution was still iliegible to
 the chief clerk. ii was finally arranged
 so that it could be read and Mir. Rowe offered the jocu'ar suggestion that it
 be referred to the committee on cdu- cation.
