PROTECTION FOR INDUSTRY.
Representative Myers Will Father
Bill to Protect Mussels During
Spawning Season.
The general assembly of Arkansas,
which convenes in January next, will
bo asked to enact a measure for the
protection of mussels in Arkansas
w ters during the spawning season
from June 10 to September 10. A bill
to that effect will be introduced and
p.essed by Dr. James H. Myers, rep
resentative ot Lawrence county.
Dr. Myers, who resides at Black
Rock, is spending a few days in Little
Rock on business. He was elected to
the legislature in September last.
He is widely known as a pioneer in
the great pearling industry in Ar
kansas. To a Gazette representative
Thursday Dr. Myers announced that
i" is his intention to use his best ef
forts to secure legislation designed to
prevent the extermination of mus
sels whence come the famous Arkan
sas pearls, which have so enriched
many of the people of this state. His
idea is that by protecting the mussels
through the spawning season, during
which the pearls are formed, the
pearling and shell industry, in lieu of
being meteoric, will become a per
manent source of revenue. He states
lhat in a short time, under present
conditions, the supply of mussels in
the rivers of the state will be ex
hausted and that then the lakes and/
r vers in the St. Francis basin will be
invaded and exhausted. Legislation
of the kind proposed by Dr. Myers
will, he thinks, serve to prevent the
slaughter of the goose that layB the
golden egg. I)r. Myers argues that
cessation of pearling during the
f pawning season will not handicap
the buttom factories, which depend
upon the mussel shells for material to
keep them going. He states that
pearling is carried on now all through
the year and that the proposed closed
season from June 10 to September 10
will not entail disadvantage. On the
contrary it will insure permanency to
the industry. Of late years the de
mands on the clam have been more
than it could stand. In addition to
its “prize package1' manner of yield
j ,'ng up pearls, the shell of the bivalve
i ft1 elf is of a practical commercial
value. During the past year twenty
five factories for the conversion of
clam shells into pearl buttons have
been erected at Muscatine, la. This
now makes fifty-five factories in this
one town alone in which the clam
shell is made into articles of com
mercial value. Button factories have
also sprung up at several points in
Arkansas, and Dr. Myers is using his
influence in that way towards holding
the shells in this state. In his town,
Black Rock, there is a button factory
which employs 100 hands and uses
about ten tons of shells daily. The
shells have been the means of dis
posing of whatever surplus yield tnere
might be, and has also raised the
price, so that now pearl fishers are
no longer obliged to grapple all day
for nothing in the hope of bringing
up a prize bivalve. These shells
bring from $12 to $15 a ton.
Thousands of car-loads of shells
have been shipped out of Arkansas.
For a period of three or four months
at Newport the shipments ran from
three to ten car-loads per day.
THOUSANDS WITNESS H ANQING.
Van Buren, Nov. 6.—Hall Malone,
colored, who is to be executed tomor
row, spent a restless night last night
and has lost his bravery. He shows
every sign of weakening. His appe
tite has left him, and he refuses to
converse with visitors. His father
spent an hour with him in the jail to
day. The gallows is erected in the
most open place in the court house
yard, so as to make the execution as
public as possible. Piople are com
ing in on every train, and tonight the
city is crowded with strangers. Ex
cursion trains will be run from near
by points tomorrow morning, and it
is estimated that 10,000 people will
witness the execution tomorrow.
CHARGED WITH ROBBERY.
Ike Brown, a negro running a small
store near the Lake, was arrested
Thursday charged with being implicat
ed in the robbery cf Whit D. Wall’s
sample trunk from the platform of the
Iron Mountain depot. Several others
were arrested but later released.
Some of the stolen property was
found at his store. His trial was to
have come up before Justice Harris,
I but a change of venue was taken tc
the court of Guy Smith and the case
set for 10 a. m. Saturday. The de
fendant's attorneys are Stuckey ant
Stuckey, while Gustave Jones if
prosecuting the case.
BONDS FOR THE ROAD.

Gould Syndicate Preparing For
Through Line From Kansas City
to Memphis Says Commercial
Appeal Wynne to New
port Connection.
Memphis is assured of a direct Mis
souri Pacific-Iron Mountain line to
Kansas City. It has been known for
some time that the Gould interests
have comtemplated the building of a
line between Carthage, Webb City or
Joplin to Batesville and Newport,
which would give Memphis a new line
to Kansas City, but a line with many
crooks and turns and roundabout to
say the least. But it is now practically
assured that a direct line is to be
built and that the proposed Iron
Mountain bond issue is to defray the
expenses of the necessary connec
tions.
The distance from Memphis to New
port by the present route, through
Wynne and Bald Knob, 117 miles,
and the total length of the through
line between Memphis and Kansas
City is something more than 500
miles. The Frisco, which now has
the only direct through line between
Memphis and Kansas City, is about
484 miles in length. The purpose of
the building of the proposed Iron
Mountain line would be for compe
tition with the Frisco, and the in
creased' length of the route between
the two cities would be a serious
handicap for the Iron Mountain line.
DIAZ TO WYNNE.
To obviate this it is the plan of the
Iron Mountain to go furtbur than has
heretofore been expected, and build a
direct line from Diaz or Newport to
Wynne, Ark., thus cutting down the
route from Newport to Memphis from
117 miles to something like 86 miles,
and bringing the total length of the
connecting line between the two cities
down to about the length of the Frisco
line. This is the coup that the Goulds
have up their sleeve and that has been
so mysteriously hinted at for some
months back.
The line between Wynne and New
port would be only about 40 miles in
length, which, added to the 46 miles
of track from Memphis to Wynne,
would put Newport about 86 miles
from Memphis by rail.
LIGHTER GRADES CLAIMED.
The Frisco, while probably it would
be still the shorter route between
Kansas City and Memphis, has heavy
grades to contend with in crossing the
Ozarks, and it is claimed by the Iron
Mountain people that they will have
very much lighter grades throughout
their entire line. They state that the
proposed Iron Mountain route would
not contain a grade of more than 1
per cent, and that this would be only
at one point. On the other hand, it is
stated that the Frisco has grades of as
much as 2 per cent at several points
on its line.
The Gould line would scarcely have
a perceptible grade from Memphis to
Buffalo City, as the country between
Memphis and Newport is entirely
alluvial, with only one high point,
Crowley’s ridge, to cross, and it is
considered possible to cut through
this ridge. From Newport to the
Missouri line it is possible to follow
the valley of the White River for the
greater part of the distance, and the
grade in the valley will not be heavy.
From Buffalo City to Carthage it will
be necessary to cross the Ozarks, but
it is claimed by the Gould engineer?
that this can be done with compar
ative ease as compared with a cross
ing further'north.
