Santa Ne, Mnrch 3 To-day was
busy day for the newspapers ana Tor
newspaper men. Senator Isaac tiarth

$1,000 from the state fair bill to spite
Representative John Baron Burg. and
because he had attempted 10 have
liernnlilo county put la the second
class as to salaries of county onicials
while wanting aH district attorneys

Although the house sessions today
were lively enough. the real fracas
came off In the senate. Senator
Barth enacted the leading role Inn
medlately after the call 10 order and
regular routine he rose Ia question
Of "personal privilege This is what
he said
Il ordinarily do not care to note

more general importance to the peo-
pie. and while do not ns rule pay
attention To newspaper attacks. re-
fer to one Albuquerque paper. the
Morning Journal. because these arti-
cles are written hy tramp printer
who II now under indictment for
criminal libel, but In last evenings
Albuquerque Herald this occurred.
Democratic senators are active on
the floor Of the house at every ses-
sion. and the story is current that
two senators, said TO have been Barth
and Mabry, recently threatened Rep
feHentatlNe Manzanares Of Fort sum
ner with tho veto of the sumner
county bill II Mr. Manzanares per-
sisted In voting for the county salary
bill 1t Is not claimed that the SEM
ators were authorized by Governor
Mcdonald TO make this statement
This article Is absolutely false, and
the only reason notice II is that the
Herald writer is man of some con-
siderable standing in tho community.
and for that reason the misstatement
might have some weight and / could
not in justice to myself stand by and
sec an impression go around about
myself or hy the authority of the gov
crnor of the state Of New Mexico,
thut vent to the representatives and
threatened them with the veto Of a
bill AS matter of fact, / am posi-
tive that he would never use the veto
in any such manner | never did any
thing of that kind about that bill or
any other member Of the legislature.
and again state that II is absolutely
false.
No sooner had he subsided than
Senator Mabry was on his feet. He,
too. wanted to speak TO a question OF
personal privilege lie referred to
the statement Just made by Senator
Barlh and declared that he had been
included Ia the article to which eX-
reption was taken and that he wished
10 deny the story. He made some
statement about the governor which
was lost and called the democratic
of the senate an "insgnih-
cant minority" lie said, however, that
the real object of his rising was 20
take exception TO statements OF GER
tain senators and Of "the press. that
he and other minority members had
payed peanut politics in supporting
Tie governors veto Of the salary bill.
lie declared that the detractors sought
to justify their statements by saying
that the so-cnlled governors bill was
higher than the committee bill which
had been vetoed lie asserted that he
had compared them ana had found
the governors bin S46,600 lower. Az
ter some discussion between himself
and Senator Champion, Mr.. Mabry de-
clared that in twenty minutes a man
could figure out the difference be-
tween the bills.
The statement was unfortunate, for
a moment later Mr.. Hinkle was on tho

said that he had hoped this nnpleas
