ESPECIAL DISPATCH TO MORNING JOURNAL


ative Sanchez, of Valencia, introduced
the following resolution:
Whereas, the Albuquerque Journal
keeps a reporter in attendance at the
sessions of the legislature for the al
legged purpose of reporting the pro-
ceedings thereof; and
Whereas, the attitude of the re-
ports of the proceedings appearing in
said Journal against the members or
this body are often untrue, mislead-
ing and false, especially such as re-
late to the attitude of the legislature
towards the adviser of the governor
of New Mexico, appear to be willful
and malicious Misrepresentation for
the purpose of putting the legislature
and the members thereof in a false
position before the public;
Therefore be it resolved, that un-
less the reports of the proceedings
hereafter contained in said newspaper
are true and correctly represent the
attitude of the legislature and its
members, all reporters for such news
paper shall be excluded and barred
from the floor Of the house of repre-
sentatives and not permitted access
thereto"
Keeps Fun Text Secret.
The request that the resolution be
read in full was greeted with cries
Of mo, mol" from all parts of the
house, and the speaker ordered that
it be referred to the proper commit
tee, expressing some curiosity himself
as to what the resolution contained,
after the house had voted against
having it read in full for information.
At the morning session Mr.. San
chez rose to a question of personal
privilege to rebuke the Journal for
its legislative report in last Sundays
issue. He had the article read in
English and in Spanish for the infor-
nation of the house. ut is not fact
that the republicans hate Mr.. Seeder,"
said Mr.. Sanchez. I'VE have no busi
less negotiations with Mr., Veeder and
we have no reasons for hating him.
No steps have been taken against MI.
Veeder. The action taken by the
house Saturday was due to the fact
that the constitution provides that
measures shall be delivered to the
governor and his receipt obtained,
after which he has three days in
which to consider them. The ques-
ton in connection with the delivery
OF measures to the office OF Mr..
Veeder or to the governors secretary
concerned the possibility that they
might not reach the governor in time
and some law for the benefit of the
people lost as a result. The house
simply wanted TO know for certain
how measures should be delivered so
as to avoid complications. | deny
most emphatically that the republi-
cans have any antipathy to Mr.
Veeder. ] am not defending Mr.
Veeder. i have no reason for doing
so; but he has done nothing to us.
My reason for calling up this matter
is to explain things as they really are,
and not as they have been repre-
sented."
Journal Man Absent.
This ended the episode for the time
being. r. l.. ID. McAllister, the cor
respondent of the Morning Journal
who wrote the story objected to by
Mr.. Sanchez, was not present during
the discussion, having gone to Albu-
querque for a short visit.
The first bill, except the legislative
pay bill, to be signed by Governor de
Baca was filed this afternoon with
Secretary of State Antonio Lucero. 1t |

Otero, validating the Alamogordo
bond issue for the purchase of the
city electric light and power plant.
Three house measures were passed by |
the senate. One is the juvenile delin- |
quency bill of Mr.. Barnes. H. b. los, |
