 Court News.

An appraisal of the estate of the late Edgar |. somers, former freight traffic manager of the Consolidated road, was filed in tht probate court yesterday by Lucius H. Kentfield and Ernest c. Simpson, and shows that Mir. Somers had property to the value of $16,504. Of this, however, $1O,0oO is in a life insurance policy and larger portion of the remainder, or $4,46495, in outstand- ing accounts. There is also $1,469e3 in cash in the Yale National bank, which with several personal assets make the sum total.
 Aside from the property listed there are also shown in the inventory several small holdings of mining stocks. The latter were of doubtful value, however, and are entered by the appraisers as without any worth.

the organization of the farmers of
New York state on lines similar to the

the association will be "to establish
fair prices for all milk and farm
products as between producer and
consumer; to regulate the supply so
as to adopt II to the demand and
thus mitigate the evils arising from
surplus; to insure justice to pro-
ducers as to weight, etc; to handle
milk, butter, cheese, eggs and all
other farm products, and TO deal
more direct with the consumer. The
association will be incorporated un-
der the laws of the state. All pro-
ducers of agricultural products are
eligible for membership. All cheese
and butter factories, milk and ship
ping stations, cold storage plants and
necessary storehouses for farm pro-
ducts will be owned and controlled

districts into which the state has been
divided. Twelve hundred members

agreement entered into between Sem
ator Shoots friends and the mem
bers of the senate on Feb. 20, the

SIDE LIGHTS ON
YESTERDAYS WORK

Santa Fe, Feb. 20.-Yesterday was
the busiest day of the legislative as
sembly in Santa Fe. The council held
a busy session in the morning and
continued work on the tax bill. The
house met at o'clock. A number
of bills were introduced. Representa-
tive Walters came to the floor as a
statesman. There has never been
any doubt that Mr.. Walters was a
statesman, however, this was signally
shown when he introduced house bill
No. 105, an act relative to the in
spection of bees. This was not due
TO the fact that Mr.. Walters had been
'stung" with the appointive bee-at
least so it is understood, but on the
contrary the bill is a result of a long
felt want among half a dozen resi-
dents of San Juan county, whence
the statesman halls. The bill has a
number of provisos 1t creates the
greatly demanded office of inspector
of bees. The bill provides that upon
the application of a stated number
of bee owners, to a board of county
commissioners setting forth the fact
that disease is known to exist among
the bees, the said board of county
commissioners shall name some bee
Keeper as an inspector VINO shdll holu
office during the pleasure of the
board. The bee keeper must inspect
the bees. 1t is not known whether he
shall run down the individual bees
and put them through a process of
dipping such as is done in the case
of sheep with scab, or whether he
shall call them together upon rose
in his coat lapel and there inspect
them. At any rate he is expected to
visit the bee hives and to make a re-
port on the work done, expenses, etc.
All diseased colonies of bees and
their hives are to be destroyed, either
by fire or military burial. The bill
also contains provisions for variety
of fines, for a variety of offenses. The
inspector may appoint constables TO
help him destroy the diseased bees

Albany, n Y, Feb. 20.-Governor

message recommending the removal

The reason given by the governor

to perform obvious duties of first i'm
portance and his neglect has demon
strated his unfitness for the trust con-
fided to him"

DIR. Ruppe Votes With Majority.

Df. tuppe NOteS WIN MINORITY.
House bill No. 80 was reported un-
favorably by the committee on judi
ciary and a substitute for the same
offered. This seemingly Insignificant
bill, which is an act changing the
time for election of justices of the
peace and constables from "any old
time" to the same time as the gener-
al election, caused a furor in the
house. The report of the committee,
however, was adopted, the original
bill was tabled and the house substi-
tute passed. Mr.. Mullins objected to
the passage of the bill on the grounds
that it was not feasible to hold the
election of the justices of the peace
at the general election. Mr.. Sanchez
of Taos replied that it saved the time
of the voters in that they did not have
to attend so many elections. He also
said it saved additional expense. Mr..
Holt, Mr.. Mullins, Mr.. Hudspeth, Mr..
Bierbaum, Mr.. Abbott of Santa Fe,
also spoke at some length on this bill.
Mr.. Biernbaum attempted to choke
off the flow of oratory by moving
that house substitute for house bill
No. 80 be tabled indefinitely. The
roll was called. Mr.. Abbott of Santa
Fe in explaining his vote said he was
opposed to tabling this substitute be-
cause he had not heard one reason
why it should be tabled. He further
said that If the justices of the peace
and constables were not elected at a
general election, they would be pick
ed more for political reasons than
any other. He stated that he knew
personally that the people of Taos
county were in favor of changing the
law as proposed in the substitute.
Beach said his constituents favor
ed the election of justices of the
peace and constables at the general
election. Mr.. Biernbaum favored the
present law. saying that on a general
election there would be too much
politics in the selection of candidates.
Mr.. Gallegos said the election of
justices of the peace and constables
at the general election would conflict
with county conventions. Mr.. Green
said Walters bees had escaped and he
heard them buzzing around the hall.
1t would be impossible for a dis
cussion of any measure on the floor of
the house to pass by without Captain
Littlefeld Ruppe butting in. 81 thank
the Lord for this opportunity to say
a few words" said the reformer of
I
the other fellow from Bernalillo
county. Then Mr.. Ruppe waving his
hands in his usual tragic manner
climbed meehly to a seat on the band
wagon. He said the law was a good
one (no cheers from the gallery, as
1t did away with so many election.
He said the best men would be pick
ed out for justices of the peace and
constables at a general election to
strengthen the ticket. The house gave
sigh of relief and Mr.. Ruppe sat
down. The motion to table the sub
stitute was lost, the vote being six
in the affirmative and sixteen In the
negative. Mr.. Holt then moved that
house substitute for house bill No. 39
be passed. After the fire works the
house passed the bill. The original
bill was tabled indefinitely.
