SENATE PASSES KING BILL.
Insurance Clause Amendment Defeat
ed By Vote of 16 to 13. Anti-Trust
Measure Has An Easy Passage.
Little Rock, Feb 24—One of the
most memorable contests in the leg
islative annals of Arkansas closed in
the senate at 6 o’clock yesterday
evening when the King anti-trust bill,
unamended, passed that body by a
vote of 27 ayes to 6 noes.
The real struggle was over the judi
ciary committee majority amendment,
which proposed to eliminate the por
tion of the bill affecting fire insurance
companies. This was the main point
of contention. Delegations of busi
ness men from various parts of the
state had appeared before the senate
judiciary committee and advanced
arguments against the insurance clause
insisting that as fire insurance was a
basis of credit, the withdrawal of the
companies doing business in Arkansas
would seriously injure business
throughout the state. Senator Killough
introducer of the amendment in the
committee to strike out the insurance
clause. The contest over this issue on
the floor of the senate began last week
and the matter was debated exhaus
tively.
Amid almost breathless stillness the
secretary called the roH and the fol
lowing voted aye on the amendment:
Adams, Caldwell, Collins, Cotham,
Fletcher, Gray, Killough, Mardis,
Price, Rison, Sengel, Simpson and
Witt—13.
Against the amendment: Brown,
Butt, Cotton, Covington, Flenniken,
Hardy, Huddleston, Jobe, Killgore,
King, Logan, Matlock, McFerrin, Nor
wood, Vaughter and Wilson—16.
The amendment was rejected. Then
a motion to adjourn failed to carry,
The contest was on to the finish,
Under the final vote for the bill, only
five nays were recorded, and as the
, bill is supposed to have been writter
[ by Governor Davis and is a fac-simile
> of the Keel bill, which passed the
house by a vote of 93 to 3, there re
mains no doubt but that it will ulti
[ mately become a law.
1 POPLAR BLUFF CITIZENS
PLEAD FOR DIVISION.
1 J. L. Dalton, M. C. Horton and D.
P. Bacon, the committee appointed at
the citizens, meeting of Poplar Bluff
last week to go to St. Louis and inter
view the officials of the Iron Moun
tain Railway concerning the Division
removal, returned Sunday says the
• Poplar Bluff Citizen.
The committee was referred to Man
ager Cotter and were cordially receiv
ed by that gentleman. When asked
what Poplar Bluff should or could do
to keep the division from leaving
here. Mr. (Jotter stated tnat it was
through no fault of Poplar Bluff or
through nothing the town had left
undone that it might have done. The
removal is simply an economic ar
rangement of companies that hat
been made and decided on from a
purely business stand point.
President Gould has purchased the
Valley system and the company will
after March the first, send all heavy
freight trains via the Valley route.
The divisions will be from St. Louis to
Thebes, 111., from Thebes to Hoxie,
and from Hoxie to Little Rock, be
cause the distance is then almost
equally divided and the runs average
about 120 miles. A division from this
place to Little Rock, a distance of 16C
. miles, is a physical impossibility, for
the heavy trains can not make 1C
■ miles an hour and men can not stand
sixteen hours on the road. Faced
with these facts the committee could
not offer arguments.
OBSERVANCE OF LENT.
Tomorrow, Ash Wednesday, the
Christian world with almost unani
mous accord will enter upon the ob
servance of the great Penitential sea
son. How nearly universal is its ob
servance is seen by the fact that more
than four hundred and thirty milliom
of strong busy men and devoted wo
men will cease from the usual course
of living and pleasure and begin a
forty days’ humiliation and contrition
The call is to all who would be like
Christ, to follow him in this real way
of self denial. N.
