try Measure
ARTESIAN WELL ACT IS UP

Business ss For Tomorrow
Afternoon.

The passage OF Lne prize uSul plli
in the House yesterday afternoon by
heavy majority, came as surprise
to many people but not to those who
had watched the matter from the III
side. Much pressure had been exert
ed, especially by Las Vegas business
men and political leaders, in favor OF
the measure. whose undisgUlsed pur-
pose is to clear the way for the john
son-Flynn fight to be staged at the
Meadow City. However, the Senate
is certain to make some changes in
it, and the changes necessary to Sc
cure the consent of the Governor, or
even to avert his veto. will have to be
considerable In the meanwhile, the
anti-prize fight agitators will put up
a stiff fight to kill the measure alto
} gether and to substitute for it a rigid
) anti-prize fight law.
. Blanchard led the fight against the
. Tripp prizefight bill but he Lad little
chance for oratory, and the bill went
through without discussion, the fight
being altogether parliamentary Blan-
chard has a sore throat, his voice was
extremely husky and several parlia-
. mentary flank movements led up to the
) putting of the previous question, the
( shutting off of debate, and the pass
( age of the bill by vote of 27 to IS
( votes.
. Toombs made an argument for more
H1 tn of n9 c.
, ures that were being put through the

the working spirit that was possessing
the members and that had prompted

y measure but he wanted due notice of
= any bill coming up, he objected to the
' rairoading of bills through the
, House and asked for the enforcement
' of the House rule that demands that
' a daily calendar be placed on every
' members desk at the beginning of the
, days session. The House agreed with
' him, and that will be the course in
: the future. Arrangement was also
: made for two interpreters, who shall

81 House so that Spanish-speaking mem
= bers and visitors might be fully III
: formed of what is going on.
