1 If Senator Henry Lovin has his way about it, the new state of Ari- zona will not be behind New Mex ! leo in proper cement Of the manly art of self defense among the 1 youth of the country. or for that 1 matter. the old come backs either. : But as for prize fighting, Arizona will have none of it; nothing but scientific exhibitions will be permit ! ted MT. Lovin introduced a bill yesterday in the senate prohibiting prize fighting, but it was specifically stated that any scientific exhibition not to exceed twenty five rounds in
 which gloves so heavy as five ounces were employed. should not be regard : ed as an objectionable diversion.
 1 The opponents of equal suffrage it seems are still uneasy lest the girls shall put one over on them. Kirke Moore's bill. passed by the house, is now in a senate committee and has | been for long time. and though it 1 is sleeping profoundly it is by no means dead But so long as it's respiration is good the antis are restless and yesterday it was felt
 that an opportune time had arrived ! to administer a final and quieting dose. An effort was made to get it 1 out of the committee and act upon ! it summarilY. some of it's friends even admitting tiay were willing to help chlorOform the thing on the , theory that it could not pass any how and as long as it laid around i it could only prove a time killer. It
 is not due back from the committee until the 23d and after considerable sparring the bill was left where it 1 has been so long. The senate does
 not seem to be in a proper frame of mind to pass it. nor has it the
 strength just now to crush it finally ! Homer Wood yesterday introduced

 the state with a fine tooth comb.
 The house held no session yester- day but most of the members spent a great deal of time at the capitol. engaged in committee work. Just
  portant part of the business. Some l of the committees are heavily laden with bills that must be carefully gone over before they are reported
 and. from this time on, there must
 be quick work or a lot of them will never see daylight.
 The senate held a forenoon session ! only, thou"h one had been slated for the afternoon. At l o'clock however the county affairs committee of the ! senate had a very important public hearing in the house chamber on the bill for the creation of Hunt county hy cutting Coconino county in twain. l Some fifty residents of Williams the proposed county seat of the proposed
 new county. were present many of
 them participating in the hearing
 and the others holding forth in the
 gallery to cheer on the brethren by loud applause.
 Many arguments were made in fla
 vor of the measure and many figures
 Were presented. It was coDtended
 that two county governments could

 costs that are terrific. There were
 figures respecting valuation and tax
 ation. The cause of the diyisionistS was ably championed by Representa- ttive Maddox of Williams while it was equally well opposed by Senator
 Breen who lives and moves and has
 his being in Flagstaff when he is not in the legislature. Mir Breen
 said he failed to follow the logic of
 the gentlemen who believed that two
 could live cheaper than one and gave other easons for the lack of pros
 perity in Williams than the mere
 fact that it was not a county seat.

 There were numerous other com

 noon of much importance, the most notable perhaps that of the labor

 on senate bill 95 introduced by MT.
