PLANS OF GOVERNOR’S
CAPITOL COMMISSION.
Body Met In Little Rock Monday—
Mandamus Proceedings To Be
Begun To Compel Auditor To
Accept Their Bonds.
Little Rock, June 9.—The “govern
or’s” capitol commission, so desig
nated to distinguish it from the com
mission appointed by the legislature,
held a brief meeting yesterday after
noon, but on account of the absence
of George R. Haynie of Prescott, one
of the members, an adjournment was
taken until this afternoon, when the
commission will get down to work.
The members present are Thomas Cox
of Little Rock, J. H. Brawley of Lon
oke, Hugh Corry of Texarkana and
Charles Wilmans of Newport.
Just what the commission will do
j and how they will do it is not plain at
■ this writing, and the commissioners
are not doing any excessive talking
about it. Hugh Corry, good matured
and courteous, as always, said there
was much to be done, and that it
would be done, but he did not care to
anticipate the commission, and would
j wait until something had been ac
! complished before talking for publi
i cation.
J. H. Brawley, when asked what the
| commission was going to do for plans,
j smiled a far-away smile and said:
“Well, 1 reckon we’ll hold fast to what
| we’ve got, and just worry along and
| build a new state capitol on the site
jthe law directs and in the manner the
i 1 j: i._ si
There will today be a report from an
| advisory committee, consisting of
Commissioner Haynie, it is thought,
and the next step will probably be
mandamus proceedings to compel the
auditor to recognize and accept the
bonds of the commissioners. It will
be remembered that when the com
missioners brought their bonds to
Auditor Monroe he refused to accept
them and file them, though he agreed
to keep them in his safe for the mem
bers of the commission. Until these
bonds are accepted the commission, it
is held, is not a commission and has
no standing in court.
After being recognized as a com
mission, the next step will probably
' be proceedings against the “legisla
tive” capitol commission, enjoining
them from proceeding or interfering
with the work of the governor’s com
mission.
This, however, is surmise. Until
the commission takes some action,
what its plans are cannot be definitely
known.
COMMITTEE REPORTS TONIGHT.
The committee consisting of R. T.
Simmons, H. Bernstein and Charles
Meyer, appointed to solicit subscrip
tions for a fund with which to cele
brate the Fourth of July, will report
tonight.
The committee thinks that no cele
bration can be given for less than $700
and their ability to raise this amount
will settle the question of whether or
not our people are to remain at home
to observe the day.

BLIND TIGER UNDER BED.
Paralytic Arrested for Selling Liquor
and a Prominent Danville At
torney is Implicated.
Danville, Ark,, June 9.—J. W. Bay,
who came here about three months
ago, and who has all the while been
stopping at Woodard’s hotel, was Sat
urday arrested for selling liquor. His
room at the hotel was searched and <
under the bed was found twenty-one <
pints of whisky, which, after the I
proper hearing before Mayor T. D. 1
Patton, was publicly destroyed on I
Main street. Mr. Bay some four '
years ago was a commercial traveler,
selling drugs throughout this section 1
for a Little Rock firm. He is now 1
almost entirely paralyzed and is
scarcely able to walk. In his examin
ation Bay stated under oath that he 1
was selling the liquor for J. W. Wood
ard, a local attorney, and until re
cently proprietor of Woodard’s hotel.
Upon this information Woodard was
also arrested and their trials set for
Monday.
POLICE COURT PROCEEDINGS.
There has been something going on
lately in the courts of the Mayor and
Justice Guy Smith, which looks like
there is to be an awakening in this
little city.
Walter Branch was fined 810 and
costs by Mayor Grubbs for frequent
ing houses of ill fame.
Ikey Davidson and an inmate of
one of those houses were each fined
by the Mayor for fighting. Davidson
also has other troubles and was before
Justice Guy Smith Tuesday afternoon
charged with vagrancy.
George Forrest of Tuckerman was
also fined 850 for carrying a pistol by
Justice Smith and Arthur Reeves and
Richard Simpson were given a penalty
of §1.00 and costs for disturbing the
peace of the red-light district.
ST. LOUIS WILD OVER FLOOD.
John Hencke returned Tuesday
morning from a short visit to his
brother and son Will, who is attend
ing Barnes’ business college in St.
Louis. There were 792 people who
took advantage of the excursion to St.
Louis between Higginson and De Soto.
Business is suspended just now owing
to the high water, says Mr. Hencke
and the whole population is down on
the river front. The approaches to
the Merchants bridge have been
washed away and the river reached a
stage of 37.5 Monday but is falling
now.
SEVERS HIS CONNECTION.
A. Arndt, the genial and popular
salesman at the Star Clothing House
has severed his connection with that
firm and after a short rest of a few
months, will take up a position on the
road. Mr. Arndt has during his brief
stay in Newport, made a host of
friends who wish him the very best
there is in life and regret to see him
leave. He is an experienced and well
versed clothier, who will no doubt at
tain the success of which he is deserv
ing. _ _
White river on Tuesday had fallen
over a foot and stood at 24.4 feet on
the guage.
W. D. Burd came up from Little
Rock Monday and with B. O. Nichols,
