CONFUSION REIGNs
 AT STATE CAPITOL.
Decision of Supreme Court Invali- dates Number of Important Meas ures Heretofore Regarded
 as Safe.

Little Rock, July Everything is confusion in the Arkansas state house over the controversy resulting in the death of nearly 100 bills passed by the last legislature. As one state officer put it this afternoon, "There is not man in the building who can tell what bills became laws and what measures were killed by the recent decision of the supreme court.n
 It was discovered that the fate of several important bills heretofore con- sidered safe are in doubt because they had the signature of but one of the presiding officers of the legislature. Others were discovered having only the signature of the governor, while others were not presented to the gov ernor in time. The bill providing for the redigesting of the laws of the state and appointing w. F. Kirby of Texarkana digester are among the number now considered doubtful.
 It is practically settled that the su- preme courts decision settles the controversy over the deaf mute ap- propriation bill, the second St. Fran cis levee bond bill and the branch normal school appropriation bill, and the bill providing for special teach ers' examinations in cities of the first class. The deaf mute appropriation bill carried $140,000 for the mainten- ance of the school for two years from April last. Auditor Monroe has de- cided to issue no more warrants upon that appropriation. He says the courts decision clearly places that bill among those that are dead.
 The St. Francis levee bond bill, which authorized a second bond issue of $250, ,000, the branch normal school appropriation bill, and the special teachers' examination. bill have met the same fate. The two institutions named will be closed unless the state can borrow funds to keep them open for the next two years, or Governor Davis will be compelled to call an ex- tra session of the legislature to make necessary appropriations. This, he says, he will never do.
