Thomas for one of the city commissioners, under the new munic- fpal form of government.

TEDDY DENOUNCES
 SENATOR LORIMER

Albuquerque, N. M, March b. Colonel Roosevelt paid his respects by name to Senator Lorimer of Illinois and former Governor Haskell of Ok lahoma tonight. He denounced both as unfit to hold public office. Their elec tion, he said, was disgrace to the communities which elected them.
 The denunciation was made in the course of Colonel Rooseyelt's address to an audience which crowded the opera house and left hundreds standing out side. In opening his talk the colonel declared that in it's failure to grant New Mexico statehood during the last regular session of Congress the na- tional government had committed a breach of faith.
 Arizona, he said. might have of fered ground for question. although he favored it's admission but with New Mexico there was no question.
 Turning to the duties which the cit izens of New Mexico must take up when the territory becomes a state, Colonel Roosevelt warned his hearers that while good laws are necessary, good citizenship must back them up. He said that unfit men had been elect ed to office both by popular and rep resentative vote. Such man remained unfit for office he said, whether he is unfit as Mr. Lorimer is unfit who was elected by the legislature of Illinois or as MT. Haskell is unfit who was elected by popular vote"

EXTRA SESSION
 TALK RENEWED
Many Believe It Will Be Called Within Five Days
 of the Adjournment

Montgomery March 15.-(Special)- There is much extra session talk being heard at the present time. Some of the members of the legislature say they be- leve an extra session will be called with in five days after the present session adjourns, others that it will be later, and a few that one will not be called at ali This latter class, however, is very much in the minority. practically three fourths of the members are of the opinion that an extra session will be called some time within the next six months.
 Much of the extra session talk. how ever, hinges upon the final disposition of the revenue bill. Various members claim that the revenue bill cannot be passed during the next five days; that with the enormous amount of work to be done by both houses in amending the bill and get ting it in proper shape, the passage of the measure may be regarded as an inn possibility.
 There are others who believe that the measure will pass, and there is still an other element that contends that the sub stitute that was reported in the house yesterday afternoon will have another substitute, known as the Brindley bill, offered in its place.
 The situation, therefore. with reference to the passage of revenue bill is more complex than it has been al any time during the present session. There seems to be sentiment crystalizing to the effect that a revenue bill should not be passed during the present session, but that on the other hand this measure should be taken up at an extra session.
 What will be the final outcome of the matter is question on which there is a wide divergence of opinion. The most in- fluential members of both houses are di- vided on the subject, each having differ ent ideas in regard to the situation.
 The substitute revenue bill which was reported yesterday will probably be taken up tomorrow, which will be the fortieth day of the session. Under the constitu- ton this bill will have to be passed by the forty-fifth day. Beginning Thursday, therefore, there will be five days left in which to pass the bill and have it signed by the governor. Whether or not this can be done is a matter which is being freely discussed, though there is a large number of members. possibly a majority, who believe it cannot be done.
 Hence the extra session talk, and the probable time at which the extra session will be called.

The Cambria Steel company has now all or it's blast furnaces in operation for the first time since last July and the Republic Iron and Steel company's stacks are also in full operation.
 Steel makers are much gratif1ed by the increase of over S200, GOO GOO of exports over

 There has been some falling off in new orders for finished materials, though mill operations are now on a larger scale than in any month since October. The steel industry's contribution to the inn provement in our export trade for Febru- ary was more than is generally appre- ciated Something is to be said, also, of the bearing upon general business condi- tions of an excess of $4lS, 900 in our total exports over imports in the eight months ending with February
 Canadian railroads must place some gooo-sized rail orders with American or British mills if they are to get deliv- cries this year. The Canadian Pacific is now inQuiring for 2, 900 tons in this coun- try. The Canadian Northern is reported to have bought 5000 tons, but will need further amount, which Canadian miils cannot supply.
 Domestic rail orders this week include 50tO tons for the Chicago and Northwest ern in addition to the recent contract for 4o,0oo tons and 5000 tons for the Ocala Northern in Florida.
