\ THE LEGISLATURE. J
For the first time in the pres
ent session a senator by his elo
quence and argument overcame
all the opposition to his bill and
secured its passage unanimously.
The speaker was Gross of Frank
lin county and the measure he
championed was to compel the
assessor to give notice to the
property owner if the taxation
list is changed before being sub
mitted to the board of equaliza
’ tion. .
|fl ooo
Risor M)ili to repeal the $25,
mmk,
OOO appropriation for the state
guard, because some of the mili
tiamen assisted in killing the
Killough levee bill in the house,
went through the senate Thurs
day by a vote of 19 to 10,
though Senator Harrison of this
district made an eloquent appeal
for the state guard and protested
vigorously against the “get
even” purpose of the Rison act.
ooo
The bill appropriating $25,000
for state aid to high schools
passed the Senate Thursday;
! morning, only six negative votes
; being recorded, and the measure !
j prohibiting the shipment of in-1
toxicating liquors into prohibition |
districts also went through that
(body.
> ooo
The senate defeated by a vote
of 20 to 12 the Logan bill to an
nul the convict contract with the
Arkansas Brick and Manufactur
| ing Company, which in 1899 was
; one of Gov. Davis’ planks in his
campaign platform. Senator
Simpson offered a bill annuling
all contracts and requiring con
victs to be worked in buildings,
for which $240,000 is to be ap
propriated.
ooo
Senator Rison, the author of
the bill to make the office of chief
of police in cities of the first-class
! elective, was willing to withdraw
his pet after mutilation that had I
destroyed its effectiveness, for
nearly every county containing a
city of the first-class had been
exempted from its provisions.
ooo
The house also passed a.bill ap
propriating $15,000 for an annex
to the Old Soldiers’ Home to be
used as a home for indigent j
wives, mothers and widows of
Confederate soldiers and sailors
of the state. The Cache river levee
bill was also reconsidered, having
failed of passage several days
ago, and same passed by a vote
of 39 to 27.
ooo
The DeRossit bill for the bet
ter protection of farmers, mak
| it a misdemeanor punishable by
a fine and imprisonment for a
j tenant to forfeit a contract with
j his landlord, was killed in the
| house Thursday by a vote of 55
j to 25, after a heated discussion.
| Mr. Glover declared that it was
the object of the planters in the
“Black Belt’’ to manage their
I tenants so as to keep them in
I perpetual bondage, which raised
! a storm that was only quieted in
! the withdrawal of the charge.

ATTORNEY GENERAL
SUES CAR LINES
For Back Taxes On An Aggre
gate Assessed Valuation
Of $370,000,000.
Little Rock, March 30.-Attor
ney General Rogers yesterday af
ternoon filed nine back tax suits
against private car lines for an
aggregate assessable valuation
of $370,000,000, and the end is
not yet.
These suits are similar to the
four filed last week in the Pulas
ki chancery court. They allege
that the companies defendant
have for the last ten years been
operating cars in the state in the
transportation of fruit, beer, oil
and perishables, without having
paid any tax on the same, and
that the cars are of the uniform
valuation of $1,000 each. It is
asked that a master be appointed
for the purpose of taking the
necessary testimony to determine
the amount the various compa
nies owe the state.
The companies against whom
suits have been brought are as
follows:
American Refrigerator Transit
Company of St. Louis,6,000 cars.
Continental Fruit Express
Company oi Chicago, z,uuu cars.
Swift Refrigerator Transpor
tation Company of Chicago, 4,000
cars.
Merchants’ Despatch Trans
portation Company of New York,
4.000 cars.
Santa Fe Refrigerator Des
patch Company of Chicago, 3,000
cars.
Union Refrigerator Transit
Company of Milwaukee, 6,000
cars.
National Car Line Company
of Chicago, including the Anglo
American Refrigerator Car Com
pany, the Hammond Refrigera
tor Line, the Omaha Packing
Company Lines and the Kansas
City Refrigerator Car Company,
6.000 cars.
Street’s Western Stable Car
Line, including the Hicks Cattle
Car Company, 5,000 cars.
Cudahy Milwaukee Refrigera
tor Line and the Cudahy Stock
Express of Milwaukee, 1,000
cars.
Numerous :ther suits are prom
ised, the attorney general’s mot
to being, “Let not one guilty pri
vate car company escape.’’
BURGLARS BLOW
PIGGOTT SAFE.
Only One Hundred Dollars Se
cured by Burglars Thought
To be Professionals.
Piggott, March 30.—The safe
ar the depot was cracked Wed
nesday night, some time between
the hours of 10 p. m. and 6 a. m.
The work looks like that of pro
fessional cracksmen, inasmuch
as they pretended to use common
gun powder when the signs all go
to prove that dynamite or giant
powder was used in bursting the
safe open. The agent, F. E.
Gantz, reports that between $100
and $150 dollars was secured by
the burglars. No clues have as
yet been obtained,but it is known
that the cracksmen went north
on the track as far as a mile or
so. Col. Broadway, of the rail
road detective association, is here
today working on the case.

get a $30,000 fee from the rail
