M YERS MUSSEL BILL
PASSES STATE SENATE.
Newspaper and Stamp Bill Again Up
To Governor Davis—Protec
tion for Arkansas Game—
World’s Fair Building
Appropriation
Limited.
Senator Price’s world’s fair appro
priation bill was before the senate
Wednesday, and an amendment by
Senator Sengel, limiting the cost of
the Arkansas building to $20,000, was
adopted, the predominant idea being
that the residue of the appropriation
should be used in preparing and col
lecting exhibits to be shown mainly in
the large general building at the
world’s fair. An amendment contin
uing the present state board of world’s
fair commissioners was also adopted.
By a vote of 20 to 9 the senate pass
ed the Myers newspaper and stamp
bill. The bill was subsequently en
rolled and presented to the governor.
The house passed, after an interest
ing discussion, Representative Whit
ley’s bill prohibiting the sale within
and shipment without the state of
game, excepting bears and rabbits.
Representative Myers’ bill for the
protection of mussels during the
spawning season from April 1 to May
31 passed the house by avote 72 to 10,
The bill makes it unlawful to remove
mussels from the waters of this state
between April 1 and May 31; also
makes it unlawful to use the instru
ment called a “crowfoot,” and to re
turn to the waters any shells once re
moved. The penalty for violation
shall be a fine of not less than $25 nor
more than $50.
Dr. King endeavored to get the
judiciary committee to report on his
anti-trust bill, but as they had re
ceived the bill only three days ago,
his motion was ruled out of order, as
the committee is allowed ten days to
consider a bill.
Senator Hinkle sent up a remon
strance from citizens of Batesville
against the anti-trust bill. Read and
referred to the judiciary committee.
Senator Covington, of the commit
tee on circuit and inferior courts, sent
up a privileged report on house bill
No. 19 (Keel anti-trust bill) and rec
ommended that it do pass.
The first joint resolution to pass
was that of Representative Patterson,
proposing an amendment to the con
stitution increasing the number of
supreme judges from five to six, and
dividing the court into two divisions.
The house passed it by a large ma
jority.
WHITE RIVER EXTENSION.
Hartville, Mo., February 4.—Several
large land deals in Stone county are
reported as a result of the certainty of
a railroad running through that coun
ty. A surveying party is now in the
vicinity of Scholten postofflce, on
what is known as the ridge route.
Chief Engineers Rohwer and Tonni
son of the Missouri Pacific were at
Galena, Stone county, last week. It
is thought that the new line to be
built by the Missouri Pacific south
from Springfield will intersect the
White river line, either at Galena or
Reed Spring. Much bridging and
tunneling will necessarily have to be
done in this mountainous country.
There will be scores of deep cuts also.
Galena is in the valley on a direct line
between Kansas city and Memphis.
SALOON FOR SHARP COUNTY.
Last Wednesday County Judge Cal
vin Mobley granted saloon license to
John L. Eady, who will open up a bus
iness at Hardy. Although the county
went “dry” at the last election, it is
contended that as the northern dis
trict voted for license, that portion of
the county is entitled to saloons.
Other counties in this state, which
have two districts,take this view of the
m itter, and saloon license is granted
in one district, if it votes for the liquor
license. John L. Eady appeared be
fore the court, by his attorney, Hon.
T. I. Herrn, and advocated that the
northern district is entitled to saloons
by reason of its vote at the late elec
tion, with the result that the license
was granted.—Sharp County Record.
