SENSATIONS
 MARK SENATE
Cunniff and c. B. Wood En- gage ill Wordy War on Resolution for Advisory Nomination of Federal ~ Judge

Sensations flew thick and fast in both houses yesterday. The house was in the lead one point when the two bodies adjourned yesterday afternoon, but the senate 10th to be behind almost had a serious engagement, between President Cunniff of YaVapai and Sen atOr Wood of Maricopa. The question was the advisory nomination of federal judge as contained in Woods reso- lution calling for the advisory election as provided for in the laws of the first legislature. Cunniff, in view of the fact that there is also q bill before the senate providing for a primary cleo tion for nominating candidates for the other election, wanted the matter held over until the second bill could come out.
 Hubbell asked if the democratic sen- atOrs were willing, since they passed the bill in the first place, to join with the republicans in a night letter to President Wilson asking him to post pOne the selection of the federal judge for Arizona pending the advisory cleo tion provided for by law. Nobody seemed willing to take-up the challenge
 At this point Wood of Maricopa rose and said the senator from YaVapai Senator Cunniff, was adopting the tac- ties that he had always used success fully before of killing a bill he did not like without going on record as voting against it. Cunniff was on his feet in minute with question of privll- ege. He said he wanted to protest ba of ator as contrary to the rules of the senate. The rule distinctly state that no senator should question the purity. of the motives of any other senator. He demanded an apology.
 Wood hastened to apologize both to the senate and the gentleman in ques- tion and then ended his statement by saving that the senator from Yavapai with the purest motives in the world wished to pursue the tactics of killing the bill without voting for it. Cunniff again objected on a personal privilege, it seemed he did not like the word tactics" as used by the Maricopa gen tleman. Wood then restated the pro- position leaving out the word tactics. And when it was with a bright word
 
 in a laugh. But it looked squally for a while
 When the note was being taken on reference to the committee of the whole to come up with the other measures referred to, nearly all the senators started explaining their vote. Pace voted against it, T want to explain my vote" he said, Sure Mike" yelled out Wood who was not presiding. Every body's doing it." Pace wanted to send the thing to the silent grave. He didn't however as there were not votes enough.
 The committee of the whole acted upon a number of bills yesterday eight in all the list of which is: s. B. 96, providing for the completion of the Tempe bridge; H. B. A for the relief of Dr. Godfrey; s. B. 59 for an ap- prOpriatiOn for the Pioneer Historical society; sub. $. B. &, the anti cigarette bill; $. B. v, providing for legalizi1g for certain actions of the Greenlee county board of supervisors; and s. B. S8, providing for county engineers number of bills were introduced, many referred to the appropriate com mitteeS and the conference report on $. B. 23, obtaining the amendment de- sired by the senate to the bill adopted. This was a distinct victory for Wood ! of Maricopa as the house receeds from it's position upon stating the age of the women voters. The bill now provides that women can state they are 21 years | or over
 A wave of sympathy and regret 1 swept over the chamber when it was announced that H. R. Wood, senator | from Yavapai county was forced to i leave hurriedly for Michigan on receipt
