GOVERNOR NAMES
THE LEVEE BOARD
While Bill is Pending to Take
Appointive Power Away
From the Executive.
Little Rock, March 9.— Gov.
Davis yesterday announced the
appointment of tne men who will
4 compose the St. Francis levee
board for the next year. Only
three of the old members are
reappointed, and speculation is
rife as to cause for the removal
of the other five members of the
old board. The fact that the ap
pointments are made at this
time, while a bill is pending in
the senate that will take the ap
pointment of this board out of
the hands of the governor, is
significant.
The bill introduced in the sen
ate by Senator 0. N. Killough, a
member of the board which re
tires April 1, provides for the ap
pointment of the new board and
the members named in the bill
are to serve for two, four, six
and eight years. The bill was
read the first and second times
and was placed on the calendar.
The appointment, coming on
top of this and the fact that
Senator Killough’s name is not
included in the list, is taken to
mean that the governor does not
wish the senate to meddle with
the board.
The board appointed by Gov.
' Davis is as follows:
™ James R. Bush, vice William
McCoy, Phillips county.
H. F. Roleson. Lee county, to
succeed himself.
M. H. Ford, Lee county, vice
T. H. Magee, resigned.
Oscar Wolf, vice E. A. Rolfe,
St. Francis county.
A. H. Hammett, vice 0. N.
Killough, Cross county.
Walter Higginbotham, vice W.
W. Cate, Craighead county.
J. E. Clanton, Craighead coun
ty, to succeed himself.
H. S. Tomilson, Mississippi
county, to succeed himself.
ROUND DOZEN CLUB.
The Round Dozen club was en
tertained Wednesday afternoon
at the home of Mrs. C. E. May
nard on Walnut street.

the hostess were Mesdames J.
W. °tayton, John W. Wallace,
* C. W. Beard, Wm. Mosby, T. B.

CLOVER CLUB.
Despite the inclement weather
/on Thursday afternoon a large
number of the members and
friends of the Clover club en
joyed the hospitality of Mrs. H.
E. Cobb, who is a very charming
hostess and left nothing undone
to make pleasant the occasion of
this meeting.
The luncheon served was un
usually fine and the guests felt
well repaid for braving the rain.
Those present were Mesdames
Geo. R. Hays, Sam Taggart,
Wm. Bailey, Wm. Hooker, A. D.
Bailey, R. T. Robertson, J. W.

has been heard is Emjjy Erickson
Greene in th< liful dialect
play, “That Little Swede” which
comes to the opera house Friday,

cessful Swedish dialect actress
before the public today and is £
warm-hearted, impulsive,delight
ful little woman full of magne
tism and infectious vivacity, and
has served a long apprenticeship
in the drama, beginning as many
favorite stars have begun in th«
variety business, she graduated
very soon for that elementary
school of the stage, and playec
ingenue and soubrette parts with
several good stock companies,
Hampton & Hopkins were fortu
nate in securing her for theii
play.
\ THE LEGISLATURE. j
Little Rock is coming into hei
own again, and Winski Czar Fau
cette of Argenta, who stole his
realm from the capital city, may
have his vest-pocket city return
ed to its rightful guardian. Th«
house has adopted the Brooks
municipal consolidation bill by
the decisive vote of 47 to 25,
Hon. John H. Keel made one
of the strongest speeches in fa
vor of the measure, declaring
that when the capital city was
moved from Arkansas Post tc
Little Rock the pioneers had
pledged their sons to the
guardianship of that city. Ir
1889, when A«rgenta w a s
taken in by Little Lock, it
: had 2,000 people, against about
18,000 when it separated last year,
S and its wealth more than quad
rupled. Little Rock had done
: more than any other part of the
. county in the building of the
, free bridge and contributed
$30,000 toward the re wild
ing of the Iron Mountain shops,
yet it had been said that the
people were being taxed to death
and were receiving no benefit,
He then proceeded to touch uf
the trickery of Faucette; how,
after his defeat for mayor d
Little Rock, the Walnut Ridge
Hoxie act had been successful^
pushed through the legislature
under the disguised name. He
declared that a vote for the
Brooks bill was to right the
wrong and a vote against was ar
endorsement of the trickery anc
treachery practiced by Faucette
The mayor of Little Rock hac
said, he declared, that there
should be no gambling on this
side of the river, and that the
j mayor of Argenta had invitee
i pool rooms, crap shooters anc
■ faro players to his city. The
dignity and honor of the state
i was in question, he said, and he
wanted to cast his vote for the
bill because he thought it was ir
: the interest of morality. If the
bill was passed, he said, it mearn
the upbuilding of a great city foi
| Arkansas’ capital.
j R. L. Mooney, who has re^
jcently been released from the
i New Gascony convict camp, has
a story of brutality to tell thal
may assist Governor Davis ir
| making good his recent charges
He declares that one warder
| whipped the convicts until withir
two hours of death, compellec
them to work when sick, refusec
permission to write letters, de
nied medical attention and beai
them unmercifully for reporting
his outrages to an inspector. P
thorough investigation should be
! had, for the word of a convici
I cannot always be relied upon, bu'
if these sensational charges b<
well founded the governor is in
deed justified in his reflections
upon the penitentiary manage
ment.
