The Council did not meet until $3.50
this afternoon, and did nothing of i'm
portance to this hour.
The House met at 2:2O and the
employees appropriation bill is to be
up for consideration 1t will probably
pass by an overwhelming majority
a1d be vetoed by the Governor.
1t is reported that a passing of the
appropriation over the executive veto
will result in a resort to injunction
by the citizens of this county.
The Beach modification of the Sun
day laws was reported unfavorably,
and was followed by resolution prac-
tically declaring the Governor to be
delinquent in its enforcement. Hud-
speth's speech in opposition to the
resolution defeated it.

county seat, by a vote of eleven to
one, Sulzer voting in the negative.

hibit gambling in New Mexico, also

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Feb. 4.-The third
week of the legislature opened with
between fifty and sixty bills under
consideration by the various commit
tees of the two houses. Both houses
had adjourned until Monday after
noon in order to allow the members
who cared to go to their homes to
do so and return on Monday morning.
Quite a number availed themselves
of the opportunity, but most of the
members remained in the city aid
talked over legislative matters.
Mr.. Bursum was here in conference
with some of the leaders of his fac
tion, but neither Mr.. Bursum nor any
of his 1ieutenants appeared to be very
jubilant over the situation. The work
of downing the Governor has not pro
gressed as satisfactorily as it had
been hoped aid some of the old lead
ers refused to Chamber into the band
wagon with the alacrity which it had
been presumed that they would. Tom
Burns has been here for some days
on his way from TERRA Amarillo to
Mexico, but he found it convenient
to stop on and rest here for a suffi-
Gent length of time to see most of
the members of the legislature. and
it is certain that he did not counsel
any organized opposition to the Gov
ernor.
