Surprises Phoenix Friends

The honor which was yesterday
conferred on Judge William Morrow
surprises practically all his most in
innate Phoenix friends. 1t was this
matter TO which The Republican re-
ferred in speaking some time ago
of the private and personal reasons
for Judge Morrow's departure from
the city with the spring term not
yet concluded. Practically no one
knew of the distinguished honor that
was to be conferred on the veteran
jurist, though the information was
conveyed privately to this paper. That
Judge Morrow viii return to finish
the term is confidentally-- expected.
and heartily wished for by the large
number of men with whom he came
in contact here.
Judge Morrow has had a distin-
gushed career, the last twenty-five
years of it in the service of the ju-
dicial department of the United
States. He was born in Wayne
county Indiana. In 1859 his family
removed to Santa Rosa in the state
which has been his home ever since.
He was admitted to the bar from
private study and began his practice
without having had the advantage
of college or law school training. He
served is district attorney FOR Cal
ifornia for a while. He was chair
man of the California delegation TO
the republican national convention in
1884 and member of the 49th to 51St
congresses. but that was the extent
OF his political work. In 1891 he be-
came Judge of the United States
district court for the northern dis
trict of California. Since that time
he has been a member of the judi
cial department of the United States.
He has been identified with different
public institutions such as the Ma
tiOnal Red Cross society of which
he was an incorporation and the Car
negie Institute of which he a
trustee. He was for a time presi-
dent of the San Francisco Bar aSso-
citation and vice president of the
American Society of International
Law.
Judge Morrow is one of the leading
judges of the United States courts OF
appeals. He is now sitting on the
bench in the ninth district. He has
been twice called 10 open the federal
court for the district of Arizona.

CHALLENGE
Refuses to Adjourn Until

on Penal Code Many
Matters Still Pending in
Both Houses

The legislature did not adjourn
yesterday as per joint resolution
but decided to remain in session
until such time as the governor
has transmitted to the legislature
his veto Of the penal code, upon
which he IS now at work. The
penal code containing the board
of pardons provision, which under
the law he cannot appoint. does
not meet his approval. The legis-
lature, in order to finally pass
the bill over the governors veto,
decided to stay in session until
he acts. Appropriations for eight
days have been made by more
than tWo-thirds vote, and should
he veto these appropriation
there are enough votes on hand it
is said TO pass this bill also over
his disapproVal.
