 PHOENIX, March 1.-The second state legislature at 10 o'clock tonight adjourned sine die This action was taken after an hour of conference held with the object of holding both houses in session to pass the appro- priation bill, bank code, mine tax bill and land code. Such a program was proposed by Stapley in the senate in the form of a resolution but the ma jority of both houses insisted on ad- journment, and following joint ses- sion, the final vote was taken.
 Prior to adjournment and during the evening session the racing bill was passed together with a number of small measures. There was time when i'll feeling ran high and argu- ments were numerous between mem bers of the senate and labor members of the house who were greatly anger ed over the senate program to deny legislative enactment which was urged by the Western Federation of Miners and State Federation of Labor. There was an effort to re- vivc the prohibition bill and board of public welfare bill but both died with the session.
 Prior to adjournment both houses with resolutions and presents showed :heir appreciation of their presiding officers.
 Denounces the Press.
 Up to the recess taken by both houses until 7:30 o'clock, the day had been devoid of sensations, although had not the members realized that the work before them would not re- suit in any accomplishment, several situations might have resulted more seriously than just word battles.
 Proctor opened the day in the house 1y characterizing the press generally, md the Arizona Republican in par .icular, as being liars, after which Speaker Brooks admonished him to oc careful as to his language.

 The Speaker pounded for order, the members were clamoring for reeogni- ion and the galleries were roaring with laughter. Finally motion was made and carried to eXpunge, amid hrcats from Proctor to have his re- marks spread in the records of the house.
 Wood Turned Down.
 In the senate things had gone smoothly during the day until an executive session was called to con ,ider the nomination of T. E. Pulliam to be head of the Industrial school md Homer Wood to be a member of the State Fair commission, which nominations had been sent to the senate by the governor yesterday. Or course the executive session action was not disclosed. but it is said that consideration of Woods nomination occupied the greatest part of the time the doors were locked. Woods polit- ical record, as well as his fitness for he position were gone over and there was little opposition to the motion to refuse to confirm. In the senate a motion was adopted without roll call 10 confirm Pulliam and refuse to con firm Woods. An administration sen ator tonight said the governor will renominate Wood after the close of the legislature.
 Fire Insurance Code.
 In the house the bill repeating the arbitration section of the fire insur- ancc code, which if not acted upon, threatened the withdrawal from the state of the Pacific board companies, was passed together with the San Carlos River bridge bill
 The senate passed the $5,OOO appro-
