great and unexpected delay. Even
those who were trying TO retain gam
bling had long since realized that SOON
er or later in this session the bill must
become a law. They had a slender hope
that they might secure terms in the
way of an extension Of the time when
the law should take effect. Their
chance Of doing that at once was better
than a week or a month later
Accordingly when the reports of
committees were reached in the regular
order Chairman Bunch Of the special
committee having charge of all bills on
the subject of gambling reported fav-
orably Council Bill No. T.
The report was adopted and Mr..
Burke moved the discharge Of the COM
mittee. The motion was regular but
the friends Of the bill were apprehen-
sive of a hidden motive and opposed it
but ii was finally agreed that the COM
mittee should be discharged from fur
ther consideration of this bill.
Mr.. Davidson then moved the amend
ment Of the bill postponing the opera
tion OF it until July l. The amendment
was declared out Of order and the last
struggle was begun.

before the two sessions Of court ended

from further service in the case, max

was learned that another consultation
with Justice Fitzgerald was in progress
and the name of the juror under con-

the court building. II was stated that
he was a juror whom Thaw and his
counsel had been particularly pleased
TO have; that the lawyers for the de-
fense would fight to the last any effort
to dislodge him.

Even the announcement by The Re

was sufficient to fill the galleries and
the council adjourned to witness the
fall of the curtain.
Mr.. Bunch spoke briefly in behalf OF
the bill. He said that he would not
dwell upon the moral features involved
but would speak of the bill as good
business measure, one calculated to in
crease the prosperity of the territory
and TO lessen the volume Of poverty.
The principal speech of the day was

OTHER BUSINESS,
Before the taking up Of the gambling
bill a matter of the day before was
brought up. Ar. Guild had secured
permission for Attorney Congden of
Florence to address the whole commit
tee on a bill for the registration of
land titles.
The bill had not been introduced but
that had weighed nothing i'm granting
the permission. Mr.. Whitesides moved
for reconsideration or the ac.ic-,
granting the permission. That could
not have been accomplished but il
turned out that since the bill was not
before the house. the house could not
go ito the committee of the whole for
its consideration. Therefore there was
no way by which Mr.. Congden could
secure the floor at the time fixed and
the resolution of the day before could
be made to apply to no other time.
Mr.. Burke introduced his resolution
for the appointment of a commission to
Investigate and select a site for a
branch prison in one of the northern
counties. II met with opposition. MAIN
ly on the ground that il would be in
opportune at any time before the re-
port of the committees appointed 10
visit the territorial institutions. Mr..
Williams gave informal notice that he
would bring in a bill providing for the
working of convicts on the roads. the
bill being drawn after the Oregan law.

This In only designed 10 make the pres
ent law a little clearer.
BY Mr.. KrOok a bill providing that
receipts issued by county treasurers
must be countersigned by clerks of the
board Of supervisors.
Mr.. Crenshaw brought up the matter
of the newspapers which had been
placed on the desks of members from
the beginning Of the session. He de-
sired an expression of opinios by the
members as to whether the members
favored paying for them at the close
OF the session. Now was the time to
settle this matter. Mr.. Krook said he
was opposed to such a use of the public
money. He found papers on his desk
from the beginning but they were pap
ers that he did not want and did not
read, while the paper he did want was
not there. Almost without exception
the members decided that it should be
understood that the Legislature should
not make appropriation for the news
papers
All this is cOincident with the view OF
The Republican, long entertained; that
there is no reason why IL should send
papers to the Legislature for nothing
and that there is no reason why the
Legislature should pay for newspapers
which have not been ordered.

Gambling in the territory was left n
crime yesterday by the legislature and
the governor. though it may be prac-
ticed where it is not otherwise pro-
hibited by local ordinances until April
!.
When the final test came there was
not dissenting vote against the Hunt
bill There were twenty-thrce mem
bers Of the house preser: and all voted
so that gambling was killed by the
gambler numbers" "2S." Also by the
number which signifies "skidoo" An
other coincidence of local significance
is that the bill passed on the last day
Of the life OF gambling in Phoenix.
The final act OF the legislature was
completed at eleven o'clock in the
morning. the bill was returned to the
council and having been unamended it
needed no engrossing and being report
ed back by the committee as being
properly enrolled it was sent TO the
governor. Its transmission was quickly
followed by a message from the exc
cutive announcing the approval Of
Council Bill No. and for the first time
since white men settled in this region
gambling was officially tabooed.
