Some Remedial Legislation to
 Be Offered Shortly TWO FORMAL SESSIONS
A Form of Request of the Secretary of the Territory Agreed Upon by the Coun- cil--Some Promise of Live Her Week.

The legislative session in the house yesterday was almost formal and that of the council was only a little less so The house was in session about fifteen minutes, in which the only ac- ton of importance was to adopt a mo- tion for adjournment. The session was followed by meetings of committees, the most momentous of which was the one which has charge of all the pri- mary election law bills. The commit tee spent some time amid the chaos of suggestions in the hope that it might ultimately bring in a bill which will not be without form and void.
 The interest in the council centered about the resolution of MT. Hampton calling upon the secretary of the terri tory for an itemized statement of the receipts of the office for the past year, the idea being to find out just how much looping off this office will stand.
 The resolution of Mir. Hampton was a modification of one by Mr. O'Nein on Thursday, commanding the secre- tary and his assistant to bring them selves and their books before the leg islature. MT. Hamptons resolution was still further modified by MT. Day, who asked that there might be some enlightenment on the subject of the contract for printing the bills. This amendment, which was adopted with out a great show of enthusiasm by the majority, is in the interest of the secretary, since 1t will give him the opportunity to refute certain charges which have been made in both houses against the contract, to show that the bills are printed cheaper than ever be- fore and further to show why he has been attacked.
 The matter of the retention of bills in committees was brought up on a motion by Mir Norton, chairman of the committee on corporations, asking that the rules requiring the commit tees to report bills within ten days be dispensed with. That subject had been brought up several times, the committeeman declaring that in many cases the time was too short As a matter of fact, several of the bills have already been in the committee longer than that. It was finally ar ranged that in case more time should be needed for the consideration of the bills it might be granted on applica- ton to the council. The question seemed to have reference particularly to the railroad bills.
 The house adjourned until o'clock tomorrow afternoon The council will meet at 10 in the morning.

M. ]. BRYAN NEAR DEATH One of the Victims of an Auto
 mobile Accident HE WAS PAINFULLY HURT
Confined in a Hospital at Tampa His Injuries May Make a Cancellation of Dates For Early Lectures
 and Addresses Necessary.

Tampa, Fla, Feb. 6.-While re- turning from Sutherland College, where he delivered a lecture this evening, William J. Bryan came near losing his life. A big automobile in which he was riding, threw a tire on bridge near Tarpon Springs and plunged into the trestlework, throw ing the occupants out.
 Mir. Bryan was on the side next to that which struck the woodwork, and was jammed against the rail and suffered considerable injury. It was thought a leg was broken but when he arrived at Tampa an examina- tion showed the fact that the leg was only badly bruised
 MT. Bryan is scheduled to appear at St. Louis soon, and at Spring field, Ill, on Feb. F, Lincolns birth day. where he will make the prin- cipal address and it may be that he may have to cancel these dates. He is confined to his room at the Tampa hospital and suffers con siderable pain.

 the supervisors. The duties to be per formed by these ranger deputies are to be the same as those which have been discharged by the Arizona ran gers. The ranger deputies are to be paid in the same manner as deputy sheriffs are now paid. It will be pro vided that in cases of emergency, that is if the county is not able to cope with lawlessness and disorder within its borders, it may call upon a neigh boring or any other county for as- sistance.
 The argument in favor of this bill will be that every county shall stand on its own bottom; that is. it shall bear the expense of it's ranger force. and that if the conditions are such that it does not need ranger deputies it will not have to have them.

THE RETURN OF THE GOVERNOR.

The proceedings this week, and per haps for all the other weeks of the session, will have more ginger in them. One feature of added liveliness will be the presence of Governor kib- bey. who was expected to return this morning, and within very few days, it is thought, that the governor will inform the legislature why he thinks the laws creating the office of public examiner and the Arizona rangers are too good to be repealed.
 The governors views on these mat ters are awaited with interest, though the members of a caucus are now able to give a good guess at their general tenor Hardly of less interest are the views on the same subject which are drifting in from the rural districts.

LAST APPEAL re CALIFORNIA.

Washington, Feb. 6.-President Roosevelt is by no means satisfied with the effort to prevent anti-Jap anese legislation in California and Ne vada. He had conferences today with Senators Flint of California and Nixon of Nevada and persisted in his repre- sentations to them that the situation would become critical if their states insisted on legislation that would be insulting to the Japanese, whom he re- ferred to as acting with dignity under a strain The two senators agreed to continue their efforts to influence the legislatures of their states against ac- tion of any sort and went away from the White House and sent telegrams to the leaders of those bodies asking for the postponement of any pending legislation.
 'I feel that we ought not to try to resist the strong appeals of the chief executive" said Senator Flint. T agree with him that the time is inopportune for legislation and I am going to do what can to help him.
 'I shall use the wires freely to reach my personal friends and urge them to indefinitely postpone the sep arate school provision and to enact other laws. I don't see how can do anything else no matter what We per sonally feel at this time The presi- dent is talking in the interests of the nation at large and I am sure Cali fornia's patriotism will care for the nations interest before her own"
