 ARIZONA
HEARD SOLONS CONTEM- PLATED ADJOURNING
 SO THIRD EXTRA SES- SION WOULD BE CALLED

PHOENIX, June 2S. - Governor Hunt and General Harris returned Sunday from the launching of the battleship Arizona The only other member of the launching party who returned was Captain L. w. Mix of Noga1es who went directly home.
 "We had splendid trip, and I en- joyed every minute" said the gov ernor. q only wish I might have stayed longer.
 The governor accompanied by Col. Chas. w. Harris, adjutant general, crossed the state line at o'clock Sunday morning. and arrived in Phoe- nix shortly before noon. He had stopped of for day at New Orleans, where he was the guest of Governor Hall of Louisiana
 Asked as to what he though of the passage of the bill creating second Superior court in Maricopa county and the appointment of Frank II. Ly- man. the governor stated that he did not think that any comment at this time was necessary Under his call, he did not believe such bill could properly be. passed. 'If anybody raises objections in the proper legal channel, I believe that the law creat- ing a second court would not stand. I was told that the docket was crowded with cases. and in my call asked that some provision be made for bringing in judges from outside to try cases in this county" The governor, however, did not know that any attack would be made on the law.
 As to the land bill, the governor seemed relieved that the vexins ques- ton of land legislation had at last been settled. He stated that he un- derstood that the bill was a good one, but deplored the politics" in the organization of the land depart ment. An honest, capable commits sioncr, he said, was now the first requisite Asked if he had. anyone ir mind for the place he stated that he would support Mir. Winsor, chairman of the expiring land commission.
 Although the governor did not talk with the president on the Mexican situation, he did discuss conditions with a number of cabinet officers.
 T understand that the situation is very serious" he said. There is of course. a very large sentiment in the East for peace. much more than we perhaps. understand. But there is also feeling that things have gone far enough Something will have to be done to police Mexico"
 It was stated that the coming of tho governor was somewhat hurried by reports that had reached him of things that might De attempted in his absence. One report was that an ef- fort was being made to force an ad- journment of the legislature in order that a third extra session might be called for the purpose of passing a mine tax bill.
 But there were no signs of such a purpose, In the first place. it IS gen orally understood that none of the large mining companies want mine tax bill at this time. In the next place, there would be less likelihood of the enactment of such law at this time than during the regular session for many members of the senate who were then anxious for mine tax legislation arc now opposed to it as inopportune.
 Moreover. the purpose Of the sen ators in trying 10 bring about an ad- journmcnt on Saturday was to get away from the city that night. As a matter of fact many of them did leave. Some of those who left town said that they would not ill any cir return for d session dur ng their term of office and that they i would never again engage in the | ,uSincsS of law uakin0
