NO MORE FUNDS
FOR STATE CAPITOL.
House Tables Appropriation Bill
And Lines Up With Governor
In Obstruction Tactics.
W Little Rock, April 27. The state
capitol appropriation bill was
' tabled in the house this morning
by a vote of 54 to 38 on a motion
■v to that effect made by Mr. Row
| land of Boone county, Mr. Du
^ Laney of Little River county in
the chair. The bill provided for
a one and one-half mill state tax
levy for two years for the pur
pose of raising an additional
$800,000 for the completion of the
new $1,000,000 capitol. The bill
passed the senate some weeks
ago, and its progress in the house
has been fought all along, on the
ground that it was a needless
expenditure. It is also well
known that Governor Davis was
strongly opposed to the measure,
I and the friends of the governor
in the house voted almost solidly
in favor of the motion to table.
Hie announcement of the result
A. the vote was greeted with
cheers by the opponents of the
bill, the noise attracting the at
tention in all quarters of the
State house. According to the
report given out yesterday by the
Itate capitol board of commis
sioners, the failure of this ap
propriation bill to pass the house
will cause the work on the eap
itol building to stop by the first
of next September, as by that
time 1;he available funds will
'ift ve Ibee'rr ex Aa crated.

spent at whist, which closed an
enjoyable social event. I

hostess and honoree were Mes
dames 0. D. Watson, L. Minor,

EASTER EUCHRE.
Anything new or novel by way
g of entertainment is certainly to
be ever commended, and j
especially is this true in the
planning of springtime affairs
after an unusually brilliant win
ter season has exhausted ideas.
The first of the Easter affairs
was the euchre party given by
Mr. and Mrs. 0. D. Watson at
their home Thursday evening.
The gathering was a brilliant
and vivacious throng of society
folk, eager to embrace a respite
from the forty Lenten days that
are just gone.
The card tables were placed in
the three large rooms, the scores |
being kept by Misses Madie j
Stephens and Kate Harder. The I
souvenirs for this delightful
affair were miniature rabbits and
chickens that were very sugges
tive of the Eastertide.
The prizes were very hand
some ones, fully in keeping with
pthe prestige of this popular club.
The first prize for the ladies was
a picture done in water colors,
and was won by Mrs. B. W.
Stainback. The guest prize,- an

HOUSTON HOOKER
CHEATS GALLOWS
By Death From Quick Consump
tion in Hot Springs While
Under Sentence to Hang
for Atwood Murder.
Hot Springs, April 27.-Hous
ton Hooker, the condemned mur
derer of Conductor Phil Atwood,
died at 7:30 o’clock last night in
the county jail.
The negro’s death was due to
quick consumption, but the phy
sicians that attended him believe
mental anguish over his ap
proaching fate was largely the
cause of his sudden end. He
was taken with a sinking spell
in ihe morning and two doctors
were called to see him.
At the time of his death he was j
lying on a cot in the jail corridor j
and being waited upon by anoth
er prisoner. He talked freely in
his delirium before death, but
made no reference to the crime
for which he was to forfeit his
life on the gallows. Instead his
imagination carried him back to
his work on the train, his last
words being, “We are going
around the curve, but I don’t be
lieve we can make it.”
His body was turned over to
an undertaker and is being held
for the order of his wife.
