NEWSPAPER MAN BARRED FROM
 LEGISLATURE
New Mexican Politicians Pass Resolution Excluding Gath erer of News Because He Wrote What They DisIiked,

For some reason New Mexico docs not seem to be very proud of her leg. isiature. There ia a good deal Of bluff and biuster about tho "adminis- traitor press' when fl Is not just plain apologizinge The opposition seems to get in bite now and then that really hurts. The legislature a few days ago did that hopelessly silly thing-excluded the correspondent of a certain newspaper from the capitol on the ground that the Paper had been making misrepresentation. The nat ural inference follows, that the legis- lature is afraid of the light, says the Fl Paso Herald.
 With the squalls, squirms, and the squabbles of the usual attack of collie within the dominant party the outside public has little to do, but there is one big fight on at Santa Fe that has direct interest, not only for Fl Paso but for every town in Arizona and | New Mexico. That is the fight over | the proposed anti-gambling legisla ton. Fl Paso has got along so vel
 without gambling, under state stat utes previously existing and statutes created for the express purpose of dc | throning the gambling element, thai we are all interested in any move among our neighbors looking toward a general clean up. So with some o the towns In both territories.
 1 Several measures have been intro | duced at Santa Fe. whose purporteC object is to abolish the license sys tenn and remove from the good name 1 of the territory the disgrace of 1 criminal partnership. Some of these by containing obscure but fatal pro visions limiting the number of ac tions to be brought against any on' offender during any one court term amount really to a license, as tnde cent a partnership with crime as eve disgraced Fl Paso during the day when our perjured public official
 with our connivance protected rob bers and shared with them in tn,
 spells of theft under the guise o
 monthly fines"
 New Mexico is so perfectly organ ized" politically that it is a matter regret that the republican machin' does not think enough of its responsi
 bility to the territory its people an
 it's future, to take the side of decency
 law. and business sense in this gam bling question and squelch the crimi nal hordes as it has the power to dc
 If public gambling is not done ava
 with this winter in New Mexico
 will not be because the people of tn [territory want licensed gambling,
 will not be because Governor Hagel
 man throws his influence with th
 blood-sucking vermin, but because th
 republican organization of the terr
 tory and it's several counties is recr'
 ant to the great trust 1t holds. The legislature cannot dodge thi
 questfon. And if it handles it in otf
 CT than a manly way, it will go out office disgraced, for 1t will have Tel New Mexico alone among all ID American commonwealths as a con munity that refuses to protect It's ow people and others from the rapacli of the coyotes of the green table.

DORIAN ATTACKED ON H|S MINE
 TAXATION
Kibbey. Clark and o'NeiI Dues tlon Sincerity of President of Council - Discussion Sel- dom Got 10 the Bill Itself,
Review News Bureau. pendoerst Building,
 Phoerix 22, 1907.

Especial correSp0ndence.J After almost an entire day of de. bate. discussion and repauee. the council committee on mines adiourned late yesterday afternoon. every msni. bsr of the committee feeling that the day had been yazted as far a. any real benefit 10 those of the leEisiatur. who are trying to enact remedial mine taxation Legislation. During the course of a debate that was general. Governor Kibbey Geciar. ed that Doran's bill ia a vicious meas ure. Attorney General Clark statee that its author had interior motives and Eugene Brady O'Neill said that Il appeared to him there was "nigger in the woodpile."
 Until these reflections were cast on his sincerity. President Doran of the council had taken but small part 1T the discussion After the three speak CTS had charged him almost openp with being an agent of the mine cor porations he took the floor in his owr defense
 The intention of this bill" said he. lis not to exempt any property pc longing to the mining companies rrun taxation. as some of those here hayy tried to make it appear
 "No man can say that I had any ui terior motives in the framing of this bill. The time has come for some means of taxation that will tax, fol the mines have not paid their just share of the taxes submitted thii bill for the purpose of getting basis and if anyone has found any. obiec tionable feature this is the time tC remedy them"
 Doran took strong exception to as persioas that were wittily cast uvOl his motives. and in language tna could not be mistaken declared tha he had never consulted any nIIuEul company in preparing his bill. and dc fled anyone to show that he had.
 When the hearing was resumed yes terday afternoon at o'clock from tn adjournment that had been takei during the noon hour. Attorney Bei GoodIich again took the floor.
 Tt seems that the Copper queen. said he. has been made the criterion in thiz discussion. but this one con pany should not be considered aion as the criterion by which laws for tn taxation of mines should be passed There is no comparison betwsse mines and the railroads. The mine the longer it is worked decreases | value. while the railroad grows great CT by reason of its operation"
 During the debate yesterday morI ing Governor Kibbey. who admitte that for some time he has favored bullion tax but suddenly chauseu ii mind after he had labored over tn

Three Japs Convicted.

After an all night session which seemed certain to end in disagree ment the jury in the case of the crew of the Japanese schooner kaiya, charged with seal poaching off St. Paul island, verdict was reached this morning of guilty against three men and of not guilty as to all the other thirty one. The three luckless ones were the crew of the small boat which was caught by the Manning in- side the three mile limit with three freshly killed seals in their possession Their names are J. Kumamoto, S. Nag aski and K. Matsu.
 The important evidence against the men was chiefly that of Capt. Cantwell Of the cutter Manning, although other officers gave vetestimony n minor points. Nobody doubted that Capt. Cantwelps testimony was absolutely accurate and fair but because of it's fidelity to fact it fell short of legal proof. He testified as an expert of 23 years experience in the patrol of the seal islands that the seals taken bad not been killed more than four hours; that the skins were dripping with fresh red blood. The jury could not do otherwise than be- lieve him but proof that the seals had been killed inside the three mile limit was absolutly wanting
