GOVERNOR VETOES
' NAVARRO'S BILL
The First Bill He Hs Vetoed at
This Session Jury Act
PdSM d by House
Is In the
Council.
Santa Ke, N. M.. March 9. Follow
ing the example set by the Council
yesterday afternoon, the House tbjs
afternoon named a steering commit
tee consisting of Roberts, P.lattman,
Tipton, Martinez and price. The
resolutfon flaming this committee wm
introduced by Representative Rob
erts and was adopted by a vote of 18
lo W. only Haea. M. Chavez, Mirabal
and Sanchez voting against it. Ev
erything now points to the session
ending In perfect harmony and the
remaining days of the legislature
will see the passage of many Import
ant bills.
After the resolution naming the
steering committee had passed, the
House took h recess until 3:30 o'clock
that the calendar might be arranged.
The Council is not in meeting this
afternoon owing to the steering com
mittee being busy fixing up the cal
endar. The governor today vetoed Council
bill No. 35, by Navarro, prohibiting
desecration of graves. This is the
first bill to be vetoed by the execu
tive. The governor announced hav
ing signed several other bills. He
was Btill unable to be at his ofllce to
day but expects to be out tomorrow.
At that time he la expected to an
nounce his appointments of terri
torial officials -. . . ...
lnTrHy Council this afternoon the
omnibus educational bill drafted by
the committee on education was in
troduced. It carries no appropriations
but Includes all of the recommenda
tions made by the territorial board of
education, provides that school elec
tions shall be held in June Instead of
April and that each teacher attending
summer institute shall receive $13.
This bill takes the place of nil other
educational measures and Its passage
by both house Is assured.
House bill 42, the objectionable
jury bill, came up In the Council, be
ing recommended for passage as am
ended. Hanley objected to the bill,
asking time to examine It ,tind It went
over till tomorrow.

As was predicted, both the House
and the Council started the work of
the week with a rush, both holding
sessions until late In the afternoon
yesterday. The feature of the Coun
cil's session was the passage of House
bill 124, by Walters, the indeterminate
sentence and parole law, and Council
Joint Resolution No. 13, providing for
ijianging the wording on the monu
mt nt In the plaza at Santa Ke to read
Confederate or Confederates, where
now the words Rebel or Rebels ap
pear. In tho House, outside of a large
number of new bills, there was noth
ing of special interest, unless the Jim
Crow bill Introduced by Mr. Tiptau
might be taken as something out of
the ordinary. This bill provides for
the furnishing of separate coaches on
all passenger trains for carrying
white and negro passengers. and is
patterned after the Oklahoma law. A
big batch of local option petitions
were presented in both houses and
these were referred to the eouimltt "e
on territorial affairs where all peti
tions for a local option liquor law
have been si nt.
A number of committees made re
ports on hills sent to them for consid
eiation, showing that the members
put the days between last Thursday
and yesterday afternoon to good use.
In the House these reports were es
pecially numerous.
Owing to the nearness of the end of
the session, a steering committee in
the Council was provided for In a res
olution by Hanley, which was passed
under suspension of the rules. Presi
dent Spiess iramed the following mem
bers on this committee: Catron, Han
ley, Navarro, Gallegos and McBee.
In the House, Representative ltrown
introduced a resolution, which was
passed under suspension of the rules,
which provides that hereafter all bills
Introduced shall not be printed ar
translated, but t once referred to a
proper committee for consideration.
This will be expedite business in the
House considerably.
Following Is the business of the two
houses in detail at yesterday after

Character Dur
I n g the
Trial.
Nashville, Tcnn., March 9. A rec
ord breaking crowd was present t to
day when General Meeks began the
opening argument for the defense in
the Cooper-Sharp murder trial. Gen
eral Meeks has been til and at the
outset his remarks were scarcely
audible and he was hardly able to
stand. As he warmed up he said:
"The state has appealed to you
to enforce the law, and the state's
Idea of enforcing the law seems to
be to convict some one. Innocent or
guilty. I want to say that never in
my life and In a broad practice
have I seen a witness so shamefully
treated as was Colonel Cooper by
Captain Fltzhugh. The prosecutor
teemed careless as to whether he ac
quitted or convicted Colonel Cooper
of the murder of Senator earmark,
but did seem determined to hesm'rch
the witness' character. The whole
scheme of the state wus not to con
vict Colonel Cooper of murder, but
to disgrace him publicly."
General Meeks denounced the ef
forts of the state to Involve the lib
erty of the press, but declared- that
where liberty of the press was abused

private oitisen, It degenerate into

ouster suit recently decided against
them and for modification of tho
Judgment were overruled by the Mis
souri supreme court today. The posi

ney general for an absolute ouster, of
the Missouri company being denied.,
the compliance with the court order'
recently filed by the company approv
ed and the Judgment of ouster against
It being suspended.
The effect of these decisions Is to
expel the Indiana and Ohio companies

whose stock is held by the Standard

to do business within, the state. Tne
Standard Oil Interests are expected to
appeul their case to the supreme court
