BREAKERS AHEAD
 FOR REVENUE BILL

PHOENIX, May 20-Practically all attempts in the senate further to amend the house appropriation bill on second reading failed yesterday afternoon. The reading was conclud- ed about three o'clock and the bill was sent to the enrolling and en- crossing committee. It will be ready for the last reading this morn ing and will then go to the house. There are breakers in sight and the number of them was increased yes terday by the adoption of an amend ment offered by Mir Goldwater, the object of which is, if the governor should veto a section of the bill, to leave a vacancy that could not be filled by a statutory appropriation. The amendment had really been of fered the day before, providing that veto by the governor of any item of the bill should not have the effect of rcviving any statutory approprla- ton relating to that item and direct ing the auditor to draw no warrant under the authority of such statute.
 This amendment was intended to have the same effect, but to be lit tie more specific and prohibito.y than the following clause which is part of the original bill: No expenditure shall be made or indebtedness in cured during thc fiscal years enling June 30, 1915 and June 3J, 1917, for salaries, maintenance or expense of any department of state, office, com mission or board, nor for maintcn- ance, equipment, repairs, new con struction or expense of any state in stitution, otherwise than herein pro vided for, or in excess of the amounts herein appropriated for the purposes provided for in the general appro- priation bill; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed as limiting, repeating or affecting any special appropriation made by the second legislature in the regular ses- sion.
 The amendment of Mir. Goldwatcr was further amended by him eX- cmpting from the operations of his former amendment the statutory pro visions for meeting the interest on the public debt.

Hangings To Take
 Place As Scheduled
,necial to the IournaI-Mine

Special to the Journal Miner.
 PHOENIX, May z2.-From a
 trustworthy source the Journal
 Miner representative learns that
 the board of pardons will ignore
 the house resolution which asks
 that the five murderers be grant
 ed a 60-day reprieve, and that the
 executions will take place next
 Friday as heretofore ordered.
 It is understood that the object
 of the house resolution was simp-
 ly to afford the governor pre-
 text for including his hobby of
 anti-capital punishment as one of
 the subjects to be included in his
 call for another extra session.
 The house this afternoon, by a vote of Y to IA, refused to recon slider the memorial adopted yesterday recommending that the board of par dons and parole reprieve the first con demned murderers for 60 days.
 Members of each branch or the leg islature spent the forenoon patiently waiting for the report of the respect i've conference committees.
 About II o'clock the senate was called to order long enough to read the journal and a recess was then taken until 1:30 this afternoon.
 It was some time after that when the speaker of the house rapped for order. A committee appointed for a special rule governing the reception and proceedings concerning the re- port of the conference committee when presented, submitted its report to the house.
 It provided for a majority vote for accepting the report on any particu- lar section, but for a two-thirds vote before it could be finally adopted. A motion to adopt was made, but dis cussion arising over it motion was made to postpone further action until after recess.

Weekly journal-miner., 1915-05-26

crossing committee of the senate re- ported it to that body this morning, and it was placed on its third reading and final passage.
 This reduction over the house bill included the addition of $48,000 ap- propriation in the senate for boys dormitory at the Flagstaff Normal school and a $75,00O appropriation for mining and engineering build ing at the university at Tucson.
 A few other additions of smaller sums were also made and various re auctions made, leaving the net bal ance as stated above. The senate did not adjourn for the noon recess but continued reading the bill in order to be able to take a vote on it as early as possible and get it back in the house for its approval.
 The entire forenoon session of the house was taken up in discussing a resolution introduced by Edwards asking for the communication of the death sentence of the five condemned murderers at Florence to life i'm prisonment
 Before final action was taken Pinkley amended it by asking the board of pardons and parole to rec ommend that the governor reprieve the men until December Is, 19l6, in order to give voters another chance to vote on the question of capital punishment and also petition the gov crnor to include the subject of capital punishment in the proposed call for an extra session of the legislature.
 Two votes were taken during the proceedings which indicated that when final action is taken the me morial will be adopted.
 PHOENIX, May 21 - After a nights sleep over the amendments concur-ed in at yesterdays session, many members of the house had a change of heart and reconsidered and reversed their action of yesterday ill number of instances.
 That which seemed to be the spec ial object of attack, was the Flag staff Normal school, as the house re- versed itself in concurring on the $48,000 appropriation for boys dor mitory and also the increase of $7,OOO for its maintenance and a reduction of S1 ,034 for improvements and repairs.
 The industrial school appropriation was also set back to what it was when it left the house, so that out Of the twelve concurrcnces of yesterday seven were reversed at today's ses- sion.
 The senate spent the forenoon rest ing and awaiting the completion of the action of the house on the appro- priation bill, the only enlivening ac- ton taken being on motion by Riggs that the members agree to serve without pay after tonight, when he claimed that the appropriation would be exhausted. Karns asked of having a personal interest in the bill, and the point was raised that Riggs, being equally interested, should not be permitted to vote either. A compromise was effected and the mo- ton was lost by tie vote of 6 to 6, although the matter was not taken very seriously.

Man Operating in Walker
County

Montgomery, December 22.-(SpeciaD
Commissioner J. W. Wade of the depart
ment of agriculture and industries, has
been informed by Reese Hardin of Maui
VOC, Walker county, of an attempt to sell
a bogus fertilizer receipt in that county.
Mr. Hardin said in his letter that the
owner of this fertilizer receipt, whose
name he did not know, had been OPP
Grating in nearly all parts of the county.
claiming that his prescription would make
better fertilizer than any of the COM
mercial variety.
The formula for the home made fer
tilizer, according to Mr. Hardin calls for
two tons of sawdust, four tons of manure,
six hundredweight of acid phosphate,
four hunderweight of lime phosphate,
and two hundredweight of salt.
The peculiar fact about the fertilizer is
that it is supposed to contain salt, which
is known to kill vegetation.
Commissioner Wade will make an eff
fort to apprehend the owner of the bogus
fertilizer receipt, and declared that If
he succeeds in capturing him, he will
have him prosecuted to the full extent of
