This was nineteen, but MT Riggs
 moved the appointment of Miss Thel- ma Francis postmistress. position she occupied in the regular session. 1 Mr Stapley vigorously opposed any additional appointments. MT. Riggs replied that the position meant much to Miss Francis while it amounted to
 little to the state since the session was likely to be a brief one. MT. Stapley said that each member of tha senate could offer as good reasons for the appointment of at least 100 applicants But MT. Riggs motion ultimately prevailed after which rule was brought in limiting the number of attaches to twenty. The other business of the senate has al
 ready been described and after a brief session in the afternoon an ad- journment was taken until this morning.
 Until the house sends in the ap- propration bill the senate will have nothing 10 do but it twill probably
 meet daily. It was reported that some avaricious outsiders yesterday were contemplating the opening of poker game to divest the members, of a sporting inclination. of their per diem. pending the making up of calendar for the transaction of legiS- lative business.
 Further House Proceedings Before the time for the reconvening of the house in the afternoon the committee of fifteen had decided the matter of the attaches. There should
 be twenty of them. The committee also had agreed that Sergeant at
 Arms R. B. Leach should be dis placed by w. c. Truman of Pinal county, and that Nr. Leach should be given the position of postmaster; that Chief Clerk Sweating should De displaced by Peter Munch of Santa Cruz, assistant chief clerk in the regular session. But the friends of the officers to be displaced decided to carry the fight to >the floor of the house and that was done in executive session.
 In the meantime there had been revival of the proposition to remove Speaker Brooks and place in his stead MT M'Clain of Maricopa. Negotiations looking to this had been
 in progress all morning but only sev- enteen votes could be enlisted in support of the change. MT. Marian of Coconino was an uncertain quan- tity But before the calling of the executive session the matter of mak- ing a change in the speakership had been aba ndoned for another proposi- tion; that was, to change the com pleXion of the committee on approp-
 riations and to adopt a rule making MT. Powers of Maricopa permanent presiding officer of the committee of the whole
 Whether that could have been ac- complished or not is uncertain. Agaln, it depended upon MT. Marian but the matter was not brought to test for a majority of the members who might have otherwise favored it did not believe that the interests of legiS- lation would be served by such q contest however it might turn out.
 The house in executive session, however, sustained the committee of fifteen as to the appointments of attaches and the following list was chosen Chief Clerk, Peter Munch of Santa Cruz; assistant chief clerk, Oscar Zapf of CochiSe; cha plain, Rev. Seaborn Crutchfield of Maricopa; journal clerk. Amy Greenleaf from Yuma; enrolling and expressing clerk Rose McGrath of Gila: ser geant at arms. w. c. Truman of Pinal; door keeper, N. A. Murphy. of Coconino; page. Kelly Mouer. of Maricopa; janitor, MT. Williams; postmaster, R. B. Leach of Pima:
