The law and reference libra ry was also excepted by an amend ment from the control of the commis- sion. The bill establishing a school for deaf. dumb and blind which pass ed the senate, failed to secure ad- vancement to third reading in the house.
 A bill requiring railroad companies to build spur tracks of not more than six miles in length on application and showing that they would be furnished with tonnage was recon mended in the senate for indefinite postponement Other matters dis posed of in the course of the day were generally of little importance.

MAY RELAX STRICT ORDER
 AGAINST CROSSING BORDER

DOUGLAS, March S-while no or. der has been received. it has been broadly intimated in communications received here that the strict orders against crossing the international boundary imposed more than two years ago on the United States Army men, may be relaxed in the near fu- ture, unless some unforeseen hap pening intervenes.
 It is not believed here that the or der, when received. would allow in- discriminate crossing of the border. It is believed. however, that where an officer could show that he had legitimate business south of the bor. der he would be issued a pass which would be honored so far as sentries oa this side Of the border are con- cerned.
 Just how the Mexicans authorities would feel about the matter is not known. However, as Mexican oni- cers pass quite freely backward and forward when in civilian dress. it is not thought. probable that any objec. tions would be offered.

LET YESTERDAY
LEGISLATURE ADJOURNS, PASS
 Es APPROPRIATION BILL

PHOENIX, March 9-The Arizona legislature adjourned sine die at 1:15 o'clock this morning having passed the general appropriation bill and the county classification bill.
 When late this afternoon both houses of the legislature recessed un- til 7:45 D. m. 1t appeared that an extra session would be avoided. The general appropriation bill and the county classification bill. the only two whose enactment was absolutely essential had been made ready for conference. The senate amend ments to the appropriation bill did not encounter as stubborn opposition in the house as had been expected and the classification bill had not been yitally altered in the house.
 But for lack of time it was evident that all other important measures would go by the board The bill ere ating another division of the supe- rior court for Cochise county. passed by the senate could not find the nee essary two thirds vote in the house to pass it with the emergency clause
 Several bills were passed in the course of the day but most of them were of so unimportant a character that no opposition was developed. They readily went forward under sus- pensions of the rules. The Roberts bil, creating a commission on state institutions was passed in the senate after having been amended to re- move all objectionable features.
 Originally this bill proposed the abolition of the board of control and the governing bodies of all sducs-

TUCSON CHIEF OF POLICE
 IS ExoNERAreo

TUCSON, March s-Former Chief of Police Esau Mills. was given his liberty in the superior court follow ing the discovery Of a technical error ip his commitment on felony charge. His bondsmen were exon- erated from further responsibility.
 Yesterday morning was the time set for Mills to enter his plea on a charge of accepting bribe from Viola Lee. The former chief sp- peared before Judge Pattee accom- panied by his attorneys. James R. Dunseath, John T. Hughes and Geo o. Hiizinger, Counsel for the de- fense immediately moved to set aside the information against Mills on the ground that be has not been legally committed by magistrate for the of fense charged.
 County Attorney Kirke Moore ad- mitted the validity of the defense's contention. Judge Pattee according. iy granted the motion and Mills walked out a free man.
 This probably will necessitate the filing of new information against Mills.

MINER IS MORE BADLY
 INJURED THAN THOUGHT

PRESCOTT. March Chris Ras- musson is recovering from a miracu- lous escape from death. after having been robbed. beaten into unconscious ness and buried near Middleton. not far from the DeSots mine. on last Sunday evening at 6 o'clock. The sheriff and posse of men are in search of two Mexicans who attempt. ed the murder.
 Rasmussen. accompanied by two Mexicans, who were strangers to him. was walking down the railroad track near the switchback out of Middleton about 6 o'clock on Sunday evening when the Mexicans assault ed him. He was knocked down and badly beaten. They evidently sup posed he was dead for they dragged him to the side'of the road and back for some distance. and after taking his shoes on. attempted to bury him under heavy cover of brush, timber and debris
 Shortly after being covered in this manner. Rasmussen regained con sciousness and succeeded in digging cut and in. getting 10 house where he told of the assault. The sherin's ofiice was then notified and the sher. if and posse of three men left for Middleton. Two other men from the sherifY's office left Monday morn ing. but so far. no word has been re ceived from any of them. Robbery was the motive of the crime as Rasmussen was relieved oi two watches and $500 in money.
