Appropriation for F't. Grant Industrial School Inves- tigation Pa sses Upper House and Com nit t e e Leaves for Scene

The house has won in the contest for legislative investigation of the Fort Grant military reservation to sec whether or not iot is fit place where an industrial school can be maintained. The victory was registered yesterday when the senate over the objections of Sims. Lovin and Pace. passed the res olutiOn calling for the legislative com mittee to visit the proposed site of the industrial school. together with an ap- propriation of $500 to pay the expenses of the trip. The committee consisting of D. P Jones of Maricopa, chairman: Representative Cooke. Ball. Jacobson and Buchanan left last night over the Arizona Eastern for the scene of their investigations expecting to be gone five days
 The senate after a caucus on the matter decided to make but one change in the resolution. which is numbered house joint resolution number 6. The change was to make the number of the committee five instead of two. This the house agreed to unanimously. In fact the house was willing that mem Der or two from the senate be put on the committee as the other two mem bers if the upper house had decided that it was necessary.
 The appointment of the committee and their leaving last night was how ever not completed without it's small sensation, which leads the initiated to believe that the ways of the two bodies are drawing farther apart as the days of the session near an end. The sen sation was caused by nothing else. than q visit of Senator C. M. Roberts of Co., chise, who ordinarily stays around the Ford Hotel. to the Adams for the pur- pose of interviewing the members of the outgoing committee.
 Conversation developed the fact that the committee from the house was go- ing around to Fort Grant by way of Stafford. II was the opinion of the Co., chise county statesman that they should go by way of Wilcox. The house members thought they had the right to go the way that appealed to them the most. but this did not seem to suit the member from Cochise.
 Another matter that seemed to rest Uneasily with him was the perogatives of the committee and it's authority He denied that the committee could take testimony and objected to the stenOg- rapher that was to be taken along to transcribe the notes of the hearings that will be conducted. The committee members with whom the senator talked told him they figured they knew their business or words to that effect.
 Then he gave the members of the committee to understand that as far as he was concerned the entire ap- prOpriatiOn had been secured upon mis- understanding and that he would move to reconsider the whole question when the senate should recOnVene on Mon day. This however did not deter the house committee from leaving last night for Fort Grant.
 It was freely predicted last evening by prominent house members that should the COchise senator succeed in getting a reconsideration of the reso- lution on Monday and a subsequent re jectment of the house proposition, the senate would succeed in getting no more bills by the house no matter what their import and that a complete dead lock WOul6 result
