Santa Fe, Feb. 16.--Sympathy for
Governor de Baca was given verbal
expression in both branches of the
legislature today in the form of reso-
lutions providing for the appointment
of committees to convey to the gov
ernor or to the members of his family
the willingness of the legislature to
do anything possible for his comfort
OF assistance.
In each branch, the initiative was
taken by Spanish-American republi-
can. In the house, Mr.. Gonzales, of
Dona Ana, announced that it was un-
derstood that Governor de Baca was
in d critical condition and moved the
appointment of committee of three
to consult Mrs. de BaCa and ascertain
II there was anything that could be
done by the legislature for the assist
ance of the governor or his family.
The resolution was adopted unan-
imously and MessTs. Gonzales, Arel-
lano ana Shaw were named on the
committee.
Governor Is Retter.
The committee left the hall of the
house at once and called at the exec
utive mansion across the street from
the capitol. They we're received by
Mrs. de Baca, who expressed her ap-
preciation of the action taken by the
house, but stated that Governor de
Eaca was much better today and that
nothing was needed for his comfort
that was not already being done
In, kI Il
ment Senator Sanchez, of Taos coun-
ty, made speech in Spanish in which
lie referred feelngly to the sympathy
that all members feel for Governor
de Baca, and moved that the lteuten-
ant governor name a committee OF
three ito express the respect and sym
pathy of the senate to Governor dc
Baca, and ask him if there is any
thing we can do to assist or comfort
him" On this committee, which will
report at the next session of the sem
ate, Senator Sanchez, Senator kase
man and Senator Bryan were ap.
pointed.
Ready TO Give Money Aid.
Back of these resolutions is the de-
sire to let it be known to the COVER
nor and to the members of his family
make an appropriation to cover the
heavy expenses of his illness if finan
cIal assistance is needed So far, the
governor has given no intimation that
anything of the sort y desired, and
no move has been made by any of his
personal or political friends to secure
legislative action to that end.
Governor de Baca's condition is re-
ftnI al ttN1rA todd
Following the last TRANSMISSION OF
blood, which took place Sunday, there
came sinking spell that caused con-
siderable alarm to his friends, but it
is now stated that he has rallied and |
is doing as well as before the trans
fusion.
Boards Appointed.
The most interesting political de- |
velopment of the day was the appoint, |
ment of members of number of the !
most important boards governing the
various institutions of the state, in
cluding the board of education the |
sheep sanitary board and the board OF
regents of the New Mexico College of |
Agriculture and Mechanic Arts.
The last named board, owing to the
tense feeling that has existed in the
institution for several years past, and |
the difficulty of selecting men who are
not connected with either of the fac
tiohs that have kept the college in a
constant ferment, presents unusual per-
pIexities. All the appointments were
referred to the committee on execu-
tive communications IN the senate.
Whether there will be a fight on the
confirmation of any of them cannot be
foretold at this time.
