To somewhat eheer up things, Mr.

At the afternoon session of the
house action was taken on seventeen
item? which the governor hod vetoed.
: nine of these being overridden and
eight sustained. The governor had
vetoed the entire section with ref?
erence to the State historical com?

the section. The house passed each
and every item of this section over
the veto.
By a vote of 11 to 23 the house

The governor vetoed ths it. m o!
IBI1.70 for the pay of the stenogra?
phers, clerks, scrgcant-at-arms an 1
witnesses in the asylum investigation.
The veto was on the ground that the
Investigation had dons no good and
failed in its work. Mr. Stevenson,
Mr. llunier, Mr. Liles, and Mr. Vander
Horst defended th expenditure. The
largest item of this exepnse was for
stenographers. No fees, of course,'
were paid members for their work.
There were only ten who voted to
sustain this veto, they being: Messrs.
J. W. Ashley, Fortner, Holley, Miv
|.on, M. C? Harrelson, Murray, Neljon,
Kobertson, W. W. Scott and Sum?
mers. The vote stood 84 to 10.
Mr. Long, of Alken, made a vigor?
ous fight to retain the $400 for a
monument to McKay Merriweather,
who lost his life in the Hamburg riots.
Mr. C. Wyvhe opposed building of
monuments out of public funds and
cited Calvin Crozier, whose monument
was built by private subscription. Ths
same should be done for the Merri?
weather monument, he urged. Mr.
DeLaughter, the originator of the
Merriweather monument idea, made a
' most eloquent appeal for the iund.
jit was brief but was unquestionably I
? one of the most remarkable appeals i
made in years, so pathetically did he
picture the loss of this young life in
j the cause of white supremacy. The
j speech won by a vote of 85 to 1 and
Mr. DeLaughter thanked the members
; fur the vote.
I Tin- next item wag the joker. It
, was funny and at the same time se?
rious. Here is what the governor had
to sny In his veto:
"1 disapprove of section 41, that,
n anticipation of ths tuxes hereinhe- j
fore levied, ths governor and ih^
rate Treasurer and the Comptroller
Gcn*'1 Wd they are hereby cm
powered to borrow on credit of the
Stale SO much money from time to
time h may be needed to meet

promptly "t maturity and so forth.
provided thi sum borrowed shall nb1
? )' e. d ths sum ol 1600,000.
"You ^'iitluiicn !;ko\v the 1'ce?ng'
Which exists between the governor'
nnd the state Treasurer and the
Comptroller General. You are aware'
ol the trouble lhal was experienced
! in 1019 in reference to this matter?
.ir. I : again Olik you not to place me
n tho same position, .ind l appeal!
to my fri<-nds to sustain me in thai
' kfStO."
Now, those \ ho have kept check
i on the situation thought U just OS]
I I
well to i<-t the g"v? rnor have his way,
nn I hig appeal to his friends {<> sua
I tain his veto was unavailing, ror they
generally saw trouble when the op?
position thought it well t.) let the
governor do the State's financing this
summer, having vetoed tho usual item
by which funds are raised to pay the
state's operating expenses until taxes
are paid. The veto was sustained as j
asked for by a vote of 40 to ?thej
10 being to override the veto s<> as to
provide for the borrowing. Tho usual
machinery for borrowing money lsj
cut out of the bill on the veto; there
may be other machinery. This fin?
ished tho house work on the appro?
priation act.
The cutting out of Section 41 rela
UVS to borrowing money may or may
not he protected by the statute per?
mitting the State to borrow $500,000.
The Code which is an old law, does
not provide for pledging taxes as does
tho vetoed section. It places the
borrowing in the hands of tho same
officials to whom tho governor objects.
That the Stato must borrow this sum?
mer, or not meet its current expenses,
pensions and support of public Insti?
tutions, is certain. How this is to be
done in view of the veto is uncertain.
It may be done under the old law.
which Is no more acceptable to the
governor ?s to the personnel of the
borrowing hoard than the section ho >
vetoed.

Luia Terra sag thla afternoon appeal?

sul at Chihuahua, now In thla city
awaiting instructions, to save his son.
whose lito lias been made the forfeit
if 500,000 pesos ransom m< uey ig not
paiu over to Clen. Francisco Villa, the!
reb<; i? ader.
Consul Letcher declared himself
deeply moved by tiie appeal of the
octogenarian head of the great Mex?
ican family, whose wide possessions
have been confiscated by the consti
lutionalistS, but he had to reply that
he was helpless in the matter.
"1 am 80 years old and neither
life or money mean much to me,"
^aid Gen. Terrazas, with u tremor in
his voice. "My son, Luis, has 13
children and they need him. I would
giadiy return to Chihuahua and Villa
ould kill me instead of my son."
While Gen. Terrazas did not say
as much, the interview left the im?
pression that he is not now in pos?
session of the sum demanded. Luis,
the son, ig about 50 years old and fo:
several months has been held prison
er by the rebels.
At the time of his arrest the rebels
demanded $660,000 gold as the price
of his life. This sum was slow in b.?
ing paid and Luis was taken out and
a noose adjusted about his neck. Then
he was gently hoisted from his feet.
The torture was repeated until he
signaled that he would pay the sum
demanded?all that he had in lh<
< hihuahua bank.
After this incident he was removed
from the palace where he had been
confined and allowed to live under
guard with his family in one of his
father's houses. Women relatives
some time later appealed to Villa to
release him but Viliia was adamant.
if the Clentiiicos hau Pancho Vii?a
a prisoner :n the same circumstances,
do you think he would be restrained
in a palace and treated with the con?
sideration i have shown Don Luis?"
Villa replied.
x? , PAncho Villa's loan would
have been placed on a spike and pa
rad< I about the city. The Terrazas
family has accumulated ifs great
wealth through) oppression of the
peoph and now ;i ? people demand
reparation."

He was surrounded i>y friends and
relatives on whose faces anxiety for
th> son und pity !? r riie father were
pla nly written.
a personal appe? l to Secretary
Bryan was suggested, but the old man
only shook his head. Thd app< al,
however, may be made, unless it is
? o sible to raise the ransom money,
r great bulk of the Terrazas for?
tune, normally estimated at $40,000,
000 gold, was tied up by the confisca?
tion oi d'r and most of the money
available in foreign countries has
been spent in the last three years.
It was said tonight that the most
BeriOUg obstacle in the way ot a set?
tlement of the matter is Villa's re?
fusal to allow Don Luis to leave Mex?
ico after the money is paid.
Gen. Terrazas in replying to Villa
made payment of tho money contin?
gent on his son being brought to tho
centre of the international bridge
here while the sum was changing
hands.
This Villa flatly declined to do. Gen.
Terrazas regards any other arrange?
ments as folly, os his son, doubtless,
he thinks would be used merely as
a means of further extortion.
Villa's messenger to Gen. Tarrazaa
said the money must be paid within
five days or Don Luis will be killed.
Tho five days will expire tomorrow,
but it is thought by refugees that
Villa's desire for the money despite
his enemlty towards the Terrazas fam?
ily will persuade him to delay ex?
trem? measures pending further ne?
gotiations, which were suggested to
him in telegrams today.

This was learned today on high

News was received today that Gen.

in Juares instead of Chihuahua. It
is also understood that Gen. Carranza
must put a curb upon the barbarous
methods of Gen. Villa or there is
likely to he a drastic change in the

The efforts of Felix Diaz to secure
