BILL COMES
UP TODAY
FINANCE COMMITTEE or SENATE
INTRODUCES ANOTHER new BILL
WHICH DOES mot DIFFER MUCH
FROM ONE VETOED.
PROBATE JUDGES
RECEIVE MORE PAY

A new county salaries bill made its
appearance today in the senate which
convened at 2.30 p. m. The bill is
Senate Bill No. 205, by the committee
on finance, of which John S. Clark of
san Miguel county, is chairman.
This bill is somewhat higher than
the bill which was vetoed by the gov.
ernor. Most of the salaries are the
same as in the vetoed bill but the
probate judges are uniformly higher
and there are some other variations.
The counties are classified accord
ing to assessed valuation as in the
other BILL there being five classes OF
counties ranging from over four mit
lion dollars to less than one million
dollars.
County clerks are given additional
pay while serving as clerks of district
courts, pending relief by law.
On motion of State Senator Holt,
the bill was allowed to remain on the
table awaiting the action of the sen
ate.
This measure, it is said, was agreed
upon at meeting of the finance com,
mttee and will pass by vote of the
Republican majority in the senate.

forts to pass county salaries bill at

PROCRESSIVES COME TO
DISCUSS PLANS FOR
GREAT ORGANIZATION
MANY MORE MAY Be HERE TO GIVE ADVICE STRIKING SPEECH OF
COL PRCHARD, the RETIRING SECRETARY
CALLS STATE SENATE "SEPULCHRE
OF ALL PROGRESSIVE MEASURES"

"There is class of persons that
and the standpat machine politicians
belong to that class. A majority of
Progressive patriots of nearly one
million against them in the nation
does not seem to have awakened
them to realization of the fact that
they are utterly condemned by the
people.
t "Whon the gods would destroy they
first make mad An exemplification
of this truth is to be found in the con-
duct of the gang that controls the leg
islature of this state. No legislature
ever met on the soil of New Mexico
so little in touch with the peoples
wants-so oblivious to their demands.
During d session OF nearly SIXTY
days, not law has been passed, not
voice has been raised by a single
member of the Old Guard, having for
it's object the general good Of the
state. Not single law has been writ
ten into the statutes of the state that
the people have called for-not a sin
gle bad statute has been repealed, not
a single tax burden has been remov-
ed, but efforts have been made to
multiply those we already have by
furnishing fat salaries to the holders
of official places.
Progressive legislation consonant
with the demands of the hour meets
with no support from those who con-
troll. The senate especially is the sep
introduced. So long as these condi-
tions obtain the mission of the Pro-
gressive party has just begun. The
work must not cease until these poll
tical scamps are driven from power.
T Let them criticise and misjudge
the Progressive move, and charge us
with insincerity and with ambitions
We expect it from those who cannot
understand how other men can be ac-
tuated by unselfish and honorable mo-
tives-those who are stepped in the
pertidy of party corruption and who
are the instruments and tools of the
special interests, of course cannot
look with favor upon the principles
and policies of the Progressive party"
Prolonged applause followed the
Colonels address.
Colonel Prichard aroused great en-
thusiasm with his declarations con-
corning the work for Progressives in
New Mexico and his telling shots fired
at Old Guard methods.

JURY DISA GREES; BARROW
ASKS FOR cH NEW TRIAL

Los Angeles Calf, March S.--The
jury trying Clarence S. Darrow on a
charge of jury bribery reported at
1885 o'clock that it was unable to
agree and Judge Conley discharged
the jurors. The last ballot stood te
4, but whether acquittal or conviction
was not stated.
Darrow's counsel Immediately an
nounced that he should ask for re-
trial.
Mr.. Darrow asked that the time
for setting new trial be fixed a
week from next Monday.
Deputy District Attorney Ford was
reminded by the court that he had
said during his closing argument that
he would not try the case again. Did
this mean that the indictment against
Darrow would be dismissed?
Ford replied that he referred only
to his own personal attitude, and had
no authority to speak for District At
torney Fredericks.
Judge Conley then announced that if
the prosecution decided to dismiss the
now and the time for the next calling
of the case, March "a.
The instruction asked by the jury
concerned points relative to the cred
~ <riu
accomplice, who in the present case,
according to the contention of the
prosecution, was Franklin, formerly
Darrow's confidential agent, and a
convicted bribe giver.
The outstanding juror also wanted
more light on the legal principle of
reasonable doubt. Judge Conley gave
the jury typewriter copy of the in
which he had already read
to them.
In these instructions Judge Conley
informed the jury that the testimony
of an accomplice could not be credit
ed unless it was supported by corrob-
orative evidence. AS to reasonable
doubt, they must not convict even on
evidence if they con-
believed there was reas
enable doubt Of guilt
The announcement that only one
man stood in the way of verdict was
a surprise to all and frightened the
Judge Conley announced
hat if verdict was not reported at
noon, he would not discharge the jury
IS previously planned, but would take
, recess until o'clock this afternoon.
Darrow was plainly worried. 81

DARROW HURT HIMSELF.
Los Angeles, Cal, March S.-Dar-
rows own arguments were responsible
for his failure to go free, according
10 one of the jurors who asked that
his name be withheld.
Darrow's declaration that, although
the bomb which destroyed the Los
Angeles Times building had killed 20
men, the Mcnamara brothers were not
murderers, but working in great,
great cause, aienated several of the
Jurors. One of Darrows associate
counsel avowed the same belief.
In commenting further on the case,
District Attorney Fredericks recon

DYNAMITE EXPLOSION 7cAS
CRIPPLED COeHST DEFENCES

Baltimore, Md, March 8.-The eX-
plosion of dynamite in Baltimore har.
Dor yesterday which caused the death
of forty or fifty men and the injury
of as many others, seriously crippled
the coast defenses of the harbOr, it
was learned today. In many instan-
ces. the concrete foundations of the
heavy guns in Forts Howard, Amis-
tad and Carroll were cracked, while
several of the guns themselves were
damaged by falling pieces of steel
from the wrecked steamer
At Fort Armistad the damage will
reach several thousand dollars and at
Fort Carroll $250O
Various investigations Of the eX-
plosion will be under way today. The
coroner of Arundel county will put
a jury to begin investigation at once.
The navy department at Washington,
apprised of the serious damage to the
collier Jason, about to be accepted
by the department, will inquire into
the disaster, and at the same time 1t
is probable an investigation will be
undertaken by the interstate CON-
merce commission, which has juris-
diction over the shipment of explo-
sives in American waters.
Because most of the crew of the de.
stroyed steamer Alum Chine were
subjects of Great Britain the British
consul at Baltimore, Gilbert Frazer
will investigate the explosion.
The authorities say that the cause
of the disaster will never be definitely
learned, however, because those who
could give first hand information are
dead The general theory is that the
coal in the vessels bunkers was set
.afire by spontaneous combustion and
the flames were communicated to the
dynamite.
NO NEW NAMES.
Up to noon there had been no addi-
tional deaths among the injured, but
a number were reported to be in a
precarious condition The hospital
cards show that 43 injured victims
were taken to those institutions. One
died last night, fifteen were discharg-
ed, and ~ remain for treatment.
The hospitals and the morgue were
'besieged as. on yesterday, by weeping
