Straw Vote On Anti-Trust Bill In Sen
nath—Daniel Medical Bill
Passes Senate—409 Bills Intro
duced to date.
In the senate Thursday the Daniel
medical bill was passed after the
adoption of two amendments, one
providing that the act go into effect
ninety days after its passage and the
other striking out “in rural districts”
after the word “medicines.” The
house concurred in both amendments.
The bill provides for three state med
ical examining boards, each of seven
members, representing the allopaths,
homeopaths and eclectics. Dr. T. J.
Daniel, senior representative from
Logan county, introduced the bill in
the house and successfully piloted the
measure through the legislature. He
and his able coadjutors are receiving
congratulations.
Bills were passed by the house as
follows: Prohibiting granting by
county judges of liquor license out
side cities and incorporated towns of
less than 500 population: adding
Bradley county to the Second chance
ry district; providing for selling and
tolling of wheat by measure, instead
of by weight, and prohibiting the use
UI LUO UlcLOO ICOtDi .
The house will probably adjourn this
morning until Monday morning, in
order that representatives’ hall may
be cleaned and a new carpet laid.
Majority and minority reports on
the King anti-trust bill were submit
ted in the senate, and quite a discus
sion ensued over the question as to
whether the argumentative portion of
the minority report should be entered
on the journal. By a vote of 19 to 16
it was decided that it should not.
The total number of bills introduced
in both branches of the legislature to
date is 409.

RAILROADS AFFECTED
BY LAKE FAILURE.
“Had the Lake failure come in the
middle of the cotton season,” said T.
H. Hutchinson, manager of the Tay
lor Commission Company, Thursday
to a reporter for the Little Rock Ga
zette, “it would have been next to
impossible to move the Arkansas cot
ton crop. The situation, while it
would have been fraught with the
grayest consequences, would have
had its humorous side as well. The
failure now has caused the introduc
tion of methods on the part of the
railroads which are exceedingly in
convenient to the cotton men of Ar
kansas, and especially Little Rock.
The railroads now refuse positively to
take compress receipts for any cotton
whatever until it is loaded on the cars
and the doors sealed. Formerly it
was possible to take the receipts of
any compress to the proper railroad
official and secure a bill of lading.
This was of course taken as sufficient
collateral by the banks for the money
to pay the original owner. As mat
ters stand now the railroad takes the
compress receipt, gives us a receipt
for it, sends it to the local agent where
the cotton is to be shipped, and has
the cotton checked and loaded in cars
before the bill of lading is issued.
This causes a delay of several days,
which, in the cotton business, when
quick deals are essential, is serious,
Just imagine what a time we would
have had early in the season, when
there were no cars on which to load
the cotton!”
SIX JURYMEN SECURED.
Judge Wm. L. Moose, of Morrilton,
opened court Friday morning anc
though it is early in the day to speak
of his manner of presiding, the loca
bar and court officers are very favor
ably impressed with his honor.
Out of a, venire of 65 men examined
six had been'accepted at three o’cloct
Friday afternoon, including the three
secured Thursday.
The three accepted Friday were
Abe Keyton, farmer of Swifton, W
M. Murphy, farmer of Remmel, Jno
Melville, farmer of Village.
The trial of the Johnson murdei
1 case will evidently not begin before
Saturday afternoon or perhaps Mon
day.
ANTI-TRUST MEASURE
AMENDED BY COMMITTEE.
Objectionable Insurance Clause Elim
inated From Bill By Senate
Committee—Minority Re
port to be Made.
By a vote of 5 to 4 the senate judici
ary committee Thursday night decid
ed to eliminate the insurance feature
from the King anti-trust bill, and the
measure will be so reported to the
senate. Senator Hardy will submit a
minority report, and the matter will
be fought out on the floor of the sen
ate.
As soon as the committee assem
bled last night speakers were called
for, but as none responded, Senator
King merely asked the committee to
recommend that the bill do pass.
Senator Simpson, a member of the
committee, moved that the bill be re
ported back without recommendation,
but the motion failed for want of a
a second. Senator Covington then
moved that the bill be reported favor
ably, but this motion likewise failed
to carry because of a tie vote.
Senator Killough then suggested
that the committee adjourn to the
committee room of the senate and
exclude every one except its clerk
and the members of the press. When
they reassembled, Senator Killough
presented five amendments to the
bill, entirely cutting out all references
to the tire insurance companies doing
business in the state, and asked that
they be adopted. He spoke at length
in favor of them, while Senator Hardy
urged that they be voted down.
The matter was finally put to a vote
and the following voted aye in favor
of the amendments: Killough, Mardis,
Simpson, Cotham and Witt—5.
The following voted no, against the
amendments: Norwood, Hardy,
Covington and Cotton—4.
Senator Hardy then announced that
he would submit a majority report,
and the committee adjourned, subject
to the call of the chairman.
