 REACHED YET
Legislators Say One is Necessary But Governor Still In-
 sists It Is Not
SCHOOL COMMISSION REPORTS
Recommendation That Old Fort Grant in Graham County be Purchased
 Is Made.

Phoenix, May 18th Urging the purchase of abandoned Ft. Grant ir Graham county, the Benson industrial school site commissions report was this morning transmitted to the legis- lature The report shows that there are several of the old post buildings available for occupancy and that an agricultural district of 1000 acres inn mediately surrounds the buildings ana that good water is available. Wilcox twenty-five miles distant, is the near est town to the fort. It is not con- sidered likely that --.e report will be considered at the present session of the legislature.
 The Kinney bill was before the house this afternoon on a report from the labor committee. A majority If the committee composed of Lewis; Graham, Kerr, and favored tho immediate adoption of the bi. wh!'e Cooke, Jacobson and MattoX made t minority report urging that the bill be not passed A motion was made to suspend the rules and take the bill out of it's regular order, and give it the second reading but only six votes in the whole house could be mustered for Q second reading tomorrow. If the legislature adjourns tomorroN " might, the bill will die with the SC, sin although tonight it is said a mo-
 
 it is up for second reading tomorrow with every indication that such mo- tion will carry.
 Extra Session Still Uncertain.
 Indicating that the governors of flee considers the present session the last chance to secure legislation fo' some time is the fact that admins tration friends this afternoon intru- duced and advanced to second rea6- in tn the governors secretary $3,0OO year. An it might be added here that the governor still insists that no extra session is necessary for the solons to complete their work. Notwithstand- ing this fact, it is frequently stated on the floor of both houses by men who should know that an extra session will be called, and delegations represent ing both branches of the legislature called on Governor Hunt tonight and requested him to call immediately an extra session. The governor declin- ed to state what course he would fol low The regular session closes to- morrow at midnight.
 Many Bill Passed.
 The senate this afternoon killed the house good roads bill but advanced it's measure on the same subject. It confirmed Bolin as mine inspector and passed the recall bills affecting feder al judges and United States senators, and the inheritance tax bill, sending the last three measures to the house. They also passed and made ready to be sent to the governor the Carey Act bill, and the bill providing for the CT j. ating of irrigation districts.
 The house considered and reconl- mended for passage taxation bills effecting express, telephone, and tele- graph companies and railroads, also the switchlight and interminate sen tence measures and complimentary to Maddock of Coconino county one of the very popular members of the house passed the Hunt county bill which makes Maddock's home, Williams, a county seat. When called upon for a speech MaddocA was so overcome with emotion at the token of friend ship from his fellow members that he was not able to respond. Many mem- bers in voting explained that they were against the bill but for Maddock. The measure, however, it is conceded will not pass the senate.
 The senate tonight is in session but the house adjourned at o'clock for the day. If a roll call were taken at the ElkS theatre where a boxing con test is on, a quorum of the representa- tiveS would answer present.
