BATTLE
Probable That Second EK
traordinary Session
Will Be Short.
WHAT WILL THEY DO
Opposition or Acquies
cence on Part of Heinze
Men Discussed
SPECIAl. TO THlE INTER MOUNTAIN.
Helena, Nov. 3o.-Upon the even of the
meeting of the second extraordinary ses
sion of the Eighth legislative assembly,
two topics are uppermost in the minds of
those who are on the ground. One is as
to whether the governor will suggest for
the consideration of the legislature any
further measures to that mentioned in his
call for the extra session. As is well
known by this time the legislature is lim
ited in extra session to just such matters
as the governor may bring to its attention.
The governor is not limited in his sugges
tions to the subject or subjects mentioned
in his call. The other topic is as to the
probable length of the session. It may be
stated briefly that this will depend very
largely on what the governor asks the
legislature to do. Also it may depend in
a measure on whether the opponents of a
fair trial bill resort to dilatory tactics, and
then as to how far they may be able to
carry them.
Suggestions for Legislation.
Numerous suggestions have been made
in regard to legislation other than that
mentioned in the call. .Those best ac
quainted with Governor Toole are of the
opinion that he will do nothing to cause a
prolonged session. They think his message
will touch upon one subject only, with per
haps suggestions for several bills along the
same line, and that the passage of such
legislation as will insure the continued
operation of the big industries in Butte
and other parts of Montana, without being
harassed by antagonistic interests, is likely.
They think he will call attention to the
conditions which prevailed recently in
Butte especially, and suggest the enactment
of such a law, or such laws, as will pre
vent a recurrence.
Of course the Heinze people would like
to have some other things injected into the
situation, but the governor is known to
have a pretty strong mind of his own, and
he will no doubt exercise it without asking
the aid or advice or consent of any of the
people who are interested on the one side
or the other.
The message will be between 1,6oo and
,800oo words, according to state house gos
sip.
Short Session Likely.
With only one subject to deal with,
the prevailing idea is that the session
should not last more than to days or two
weeks. Some even think the business in
hand could be disposed of in a week.
From what little can be learned from the
few. on the ground, the disposition is to
get through with what is to be done as
quickly as possible-not to rush things,
but to get through the business with no
unnecessary delay and let the melmbers
go home.
Should there be any disposition crop
out to hinder the delay, the beli-f is that
it will be suppressed without interfering
with such full and free discussion as is
necessary to set forth the views of the
members who may differ on the subject
under consideration. Should those who
want to see a lot of new matter brought
before the legislature, other than that
mentioned in the call, have their way,
then the length of the session is a matter
that no one can figure on with any cer
tainty. Some think it would last a month;
there are some who make the time longer
than that even. From the best informa
tion to be had, however, the legislature
will have done its work and the members
be at home again in two weeks at the
most.
What They Will Do.
Speculation as to what the Heinze forces
will do, or rather attempt to do, is rife.
In some quarters it is thought that they
will make an effort to delay business for
a week. This will give time for the
gathering of the people who are expected
to form the so-called new party. This
proposed organization, it is now an open
secret, is nothing more or less than a
gathering of the people attached to the
Helnze interests, for the purpose of mak
ing a demonstration in the face of the
legislature and bulldozing that body into
doing what it had not meant to do.
In short, it is looked upon as nothing
more or less than a big lobby. That it
will have any effect upon the action of
the majority of members of the legis
lature nobody for an itistant believes.
Still, the Heinze people are engaged in
a last desperate fight to keep litigation
in their own courts and away from judges
who may be depended upon to do equal
justice to all, and they will make use of
the so-called mass convention for that
purpose, if they think it necessary.
On the other hand there are some
who think that Heinze will not make any
very strong fight in the legislature; that
he will allow any fair trial bill 'to pass
without more than a show of opposition,
taking advantage of the opportunity to
have one or more plAitical speeches made
on the floor of the senate and house. It
is said he realizes the futility of oppo
sition to what the people of the state
want, and that he will be guided, not by
consideration for the wishes of the people,
but by the bald fact that his opposition
can serve only to delay the final passage
of needed legislation for a few days.
If those Who look for this course on
his part are right the idea advanced is
that he will go before the people of the
(Coatinued on I'agse Five.k

JURORS DENY BIAS
IN MEYER CASE
The charge, made in affidavits filed Sat
urday, that two jurors of the jury which'
decided the civil suit of M. Meyer against
S. D. McNorton and Hugo Fable in Judge
Hlarney's court, expressed a bias against
Meyer while sitting in the case, and before
the jury found against Meyer, has been
met with a denial by the jurors, who have
made affidavits and filed them in the dis
trict court.
The jurors accused of making state
mlents expressing a feeling against Meyer
are Lawrence Kerwin and George Rogers.
Z. Liscomb, a member of Judge Harney'
jury panel, but not a member of the Meyer
case jury, filed an affidavit Saturday to the
effect that they used expression to him in
an ante-room of the court house on No
vember Moth prejudicial to Meyer.
Both jurymen deny positively that they
met Liscomb in the ante-room at all on the
day in question, or any other day, or that
they ever held any conversationi with him
about the case in question or with any
body else.
Liscomb's affidavit stated that Kerwithz
said that he would "throw it into tlh
damned Sheeny," and that Rogers said,l
"You bet we will."
Kerwin and Rogers deny ever making
such remarks to Liscomb or anybody else.
They also say that they did not know
any of the parties in the suit prior to the
time of the trial; and that they had never
before heard of the cause; and that they
had no feeling for or against any of them.f
Attorney William Meyer, who represents
his father, M. Meyer, .says that there will
be more affidavits filed in the case, and
that he will press the charges made by
Liscomb against the two jurymen.
