SENATE DISCUSSED
ANTI-TRUST BILL.
Tax Levy For Increase of Confederate
Pension—Agitation For Dispensa
ry System—Davis Makes Rec
ommendation.
Little Rock, Feb. 19.—In the senate
yesterday much time was devoted to
' consideration of the King anti-trust
i bill. No vote was reached on the
; pending amendment to strike out the
iinsurance clause.
An amendment striking out the im
, prisonment feature of the labor con
I tract bill in the senate was adopted.
The Collins dispensary bill was dis
| cussed in the senate and deferred un
' til next Monday. Forty-one new bills
were introduced in the house yester
day, making a total of 363 in that
body so far. This does not include
joint and concurrent resolutions.
Governor Davis sent a message to
the legislature suggesting an amend
ment to the Futrell and McFerrin
bills. These bills are identically the
same and propose to place the peni
tentiary under the coutrol and man
agement of the state board of chari
ties, appointed by the governor.
Gov. Davis suggests that the bills be
amended so as to require that the
senators and representatives meet in
caucus, according to congressional
districts, and reccommend the
seven members of the board of trus
teeo.
Much of the afternoon session of
the house was devoted to considera
tion in committee of the whole of the
Stockard bill to increase the tax levy
for Confederate pensions from three
quarters of a mill to one mill and a
half. Some notable speeches were
made. Mr. McGuigan, an ex-Federal
soldier, favored the increase; so did
Judge E. M. Merriman, whose speech
was able and eloquent. The commit
tee of the whole recommended the
passage of the bill without amend
ment.
Among the bills introduced in the
house were: One by Mr. Chrisp to
enact the South Carolina dispensary
law in Arkansas, and one by Mr.
Campbell of Randolph making June
11, the birth day of Augustus H.
Garland, a public Holiday in Arkan
sas.

build a railroad fifty miles long on the

others are Arkansas people, living in
the three counties which the road will
touch.
It is understood that the road is in
dependent of any of the large systems
in the state. It will be built and oper
ated for the convenience of the zinc
miners, as well as for a connecting
link of the White river brancn of the
Missouri Pacific, the extension of the
Frisco from Harrison to Leslie and
Little Rock, or St. Louis and North
Arkansas, and probably with the pro
posed Morning Star route. The head
quarters will be at Winnerva, Baxter
county. The articles w'ere filed by
Walter B. Harris of Cape Girardeau,
Mo. The new line will cross the Buf
falo river about two miles from its
junction with the White. It will tap
several towns on its route, among
them probably Duff and St. Joe in
Searcy county.
The construction work is expected
to begin next summer. It is hoped to
have the line in operation by the close
of the present year.
The corporators are: E. C. Cooke,
Sr., Buffalo, Ark.; P. H. Gehr, Albert
