PHOENIX, Ariz, March l7.-The closing days of the session of the twen- ty-ffth legislative assembly were en- livened by the sparring of O'Niell and St. Charles and Wecdind of Pinal over the taxation exemption bill and the sus- tainipg of the governors veto of the measure for two per cent interest on county and territorial funds deposited in banks.
 O'Niell originally was for the bill, but when the veto message came he was on the side of the governor St. Charles claims that O'Neil, being in- terested in bank, was disqualified to vote, or at least he thought he should be under the organic act. The sustain ing of this veto was somewhat of sur prise, for the bill passed both houses by good majorities--in the council unanimously.
 Tuesday the taxation exemption bill was brought out of the committee of the whole which recommended it to pass, but on vote to suspend the rules the bill had only six supporters, and all efforts to place it on final reading and passage were futile. The vote lined up as follows: For the bill--Hampton, Burns, Norton, Finley, Goodrich, Weed in; against--Hunt, St. Charles, Morgan, Day, o 'Neill and Breen. When the bill was finally referred to the committee on federal relations Weedin made an impassioned speech against the insinu- ations that had been made regarding his motives for advocating the bill. He stated that it was purely in the interest of road from Phoenix to Buckeye, and that he had taken up the fight for the bill at the request of General Agent Landis of the Southern Pacific.
 He believed, however, that this road would create enough taxable property to offset any loss in taxes on the rail road, which might not be constructed unless this exemption bill became law. The fact that corporation was back of the measure made the other members who supported the passenger rate bill afford to take stand in favor of tho passage of the exemption bill. Buckeye, the proposed terminal, IS about forty miles southwest of Phoenix, and this line would probably be part of q transeontinental system. Many believe that the line will be built whether tho exemption is granted or not, but doubtless such law would greatly hasten the construction of the line. Under the amended measure the work would have to be completed with in a year.
 Morris, the author of the Pioneer Home bill, overlooked hand when he omitted from his bill provision that the $25,O00 appropriation should be made in 1909. When the improvement appropriation bill came up in the honso Bailey attempted to blockade an amend ment calling for this sum under the levy of the present year. But Morris had plenty of support and the home will probably be constructed next winter. The Morris bill provided $l5,000 for maintenance. Bailey reason for put ting off for two years the levy for this institution was that the tax levy for 1909 will be nearly ten cents more than the previous year.
 All improvement appropriations that were not imperative during 1909 have been deferred til 1910, when the levy will probably be much less. The cx- penses of the territorial institutions are mounting up at an alarming rate. Un-

China Won't Be Allowed to Show

TO UPHOLD HAYS POLICY
II Is Believed Minister Was Recalled
to Washington to Confer With Sec
rotary Knox on Mining Concessions
Granted TO Japan In Manchuria.

Washington. oct. 6.-At the state
department there was a disposition to
minimize the significance of the recall
of Charles r. Crane. minister to China,
just as he was about to sail from San
Francisco TO his post. Acting Secre-
tary Adee declined 90 discuss the re-
call. but intimated that # was merely
for the purpose Of giving Mr.. Crane
some additional instructions.
The theory that a minister Is halted
5000 miles away just as be is about to
go on board a transport sailing for the
Orient and brought back 10 Washing
ton merely for some routine instruc-
tions. is not readily accepted here, and
the belief is general that matters Of
unusual Importance are 20 be discuss
ed by Secretary Knox with Minister
Crane
it is surmised that information has
been received regarding the agreement
between China and Japan relative 20
the latter securing some extremely
valuable mining concessions IN South
ern Manchuria in connection with the
ManChurian railroad that may make
this government insist anew on the
open door" II is understood that the
first reports OF the treaty between
those two countries we're piecemeal
and indefinite. IL is thought that later
and fuller information may have dis
closed an agreement that entrenches
upon the policy announced by Secre
tary Hay I'm 1902. and agreed 20 by the
great powers OF the world.
II Japan has been granted a mo-
nopoly OF mining rights IN Manchuria
the principle for which Mr.. Hay con
tended and which has been reiterated
by Secretaries Root and Knox. has
been infIinged. IL IS not known here
that the China-Japan agreement is the
cause OF Minister Cranes summons to
Washington. but gossip I'm some cir.
clos would indicate that it IS.
