SENATE PASSES KING BILL.
Insurance Clause Amendment Defeat ed By Vote of 16 to 13. Anti Trust
 Measure Has An Easy Passage.

Little Rock, Feb 24-One of the most memorable contests in the leg islative annals of Arkansas closed in | the senate at o'clock yesterday evening when the King antitrust bill, unamended, passed that body by a vote of 27 ayes to 5 noes.
 The real struggle was over the judi ciary committee majority amendment, which proposed to eliminate the DOT | tion of the bill affecting fire insurance companies. This was the main point of contention. Delegations of busi- ness men from various parts of the state had appeared before the senate judiciary committee and advanced arguments against the insurance clause insisting that as fire insurance was a basis of credit, the withdrawal of the companies doing business in Arkansas would seriously injure b IS n s | throughout the state. Senator Killough introducer of the amendment in the committee to strike out the insurance clause. The contest over this issue on l the floor of the senate began last week and the matter was debated exhaus- lively.
 Amid almost breathless stiffness the secretary called the roll and the fol- lowing voted aye on the amendment: Adams, Caldwell, Collins, Gotham, Fletcher, Gray, Killough, Mardis, Price, Rison, Sengel, Simpson and Witt-13.
 Against the amendment: Brown, Butt, Cotton, Covington, Flenniken, Hardy, Huddleston, lobe, Killgore, King, Logan, Matlock, McFerrin, Nor wood, vaughter and Wilson-16.
 The amendment was rejected. Then a motion to adjourn failed to carry The contest was on to the finish Under the final vote for the bill, only five nays were recorded, and as the bill is supposed to have been written by Governor Davis and is fac -simile of the Keel bill, which passed the house by vote of 93 to 3, there re- mains no doubt but that it will ulti- mately become law.

WAITING TO BE FORGIVEN.
Elopement of Stephen R. Brown And Miss Goldie Bigelow, Who Left St.
 Louis For Newport.

MT. and Mrs. O. F. Bigelow of 5025 Cabanne avenue St. Louis says the Post Dispatch have been informed of the wedding of their daughter and at the same time have received notice from the young woman that she had gone to Newport, Ark, where she will remain until notified of her par ents, forgivness.
 Miss Goldie Bigelow was but 19 years of age when several months ago she met Stephen R. Brown of 796 Euclid avenue at church entertainment. It was case of love at first sight.
 MT and Mrs. Bigelow advised the young couple to wait, when wedding was talked of, but they could not see it that way.
 Saturday afternoon the young lady left home, saying she was going shop ping. MT. Brown had secured a leave of absence from his duties as book keeper for the Garretson- Gleason Lumber Go, and the young couple were married at the Lucas Avenue Cumberland Presbyterian Church by Rev. Baxter P. Fullerton.

POPLAR BLUFF CITIZENS
 PLEAD FOR DIVISION.

J.L. Dalton, M. 0. Horton and D.. P. Bacon, the committee appointed at the citizens, meeting of Poplar Bluff last week to go to St. Louis and inter- view the officials of the Iron Noun tain Railway concerning the Division removal, returned Sunday says the Poplar Bluff Citizen.
 The committee was referred to Man ager Cotter and were cordially receiv- ed by that gentleman. When asked what Poplar Bluff should or could do to keep the division from leaving here. MT. Cotter stated that it was through no fault of Poplar Bluff or through nothing the town had left undone that it might have done. The removal is simply an economic arr rangement of companies that has been made and decided on from a purely business stand point.
 President Gould has purchased the Valley system and the company will after March the first, send all heavy freight trains via the Valley route. The divisions will be from St. Louis to Thebes, H., from Thebes to Hoxie, and from Hoxie to Little Rock, be- cause the distance is then almost equally divided and the runs average about 12O miles A division from this place to Little Rock, distance of 160 miles, is a physical impOssibility, for the heavy trains can not make 10 miles an hour and men can not stand sixteen hours on the road. Faced with these facts the committee could not offer arguments.
