Arizona republican., 1905-03-01

than two democrats who would have been ready to join forces with the five republicans. But nothing was at tempted. A petition from members of the bar of Cochise county was receiv- ed and read. It urged the passage of the superior court bill and lamented the fact that it had been so radically amended. Especial objection was made to the provision permitting terms of the court to be held in other towns than county seats.
 Judge Neville addressed the house in remonstrance against a, statement proceedings of last Saturday. He thought in view of the cour- tesy which had been extended to the press that the Republican had rather overstepped the bounds in di- recting attention to the want of beauty which prevails in the house.
 The legislative reporter departing from established newspaper custom desires to address his typewriter to question of personal privilege and to say that Judge Neville must have read his account of the session of Saturday too casually to catch the drift of 1t. The reporter made no all fusion whatever to the pulchritude or the members or to the want of pull chritude. He had nothing of the sort in his mind. Nor did he express any opinion of his own regarding the members but merely stated that it was his observation that there was a loss of unanimity of sentiment among the members who he said were beginning to discover "unbeautiful characteris- tics in one another" By this he did not mean physical characteristics. On the contrary he has been heard privately to say that the house IS made up of an unusually handsome lot of gentlemen and he has been further heard to observe that he believed that they would size up well with any pre- vious house. But Judge Neville having in mind | only. that fault had been found with | the faces and figures of the members said that he knew he was not hand- some. He had been so at an earlier period of his existence but he was less youthful now than when he was | younger.
 MT. Bailey offered a resolution and | if was unanimously adopted, setting | forth as the sense of the house that Judge Neville was still beautiful. Judge Neville in order to accentuate the inaceuracy of what he conceived to be the statement of the Republican renorter had had his beard carefully trimmed since last Saturday bringing forth hitherto undiscovered charms or i person.

It was beiieV- l ed that Speaker Webb and the mem be-s who had gone to Prescott would l return shortly after noon and an ad- ] a.ff acpnTdinplW taken un- 1 til o'clock But at that hour the i train from the north not having ar rived the house was not called to or der.
