LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP
 By Staff Correspondent

Little Rock, Ark, Feb 1S.-The senate today passed the bill intro duced in the senate by Senator Lee, prohiting the soliciting of orders for intoXicants in prohibition ter ritory. The bill is the most drastic ever framed in this state and, it is claimed, will put an end to the sale of liquor in prohibition territory. The bill make the receipt of an or der for liquor prima facie evidence :, that it was solicited, and provides a penalty for the person who so- hcited it. When originally intro duced sthe bill was so framed that it would have prevented newspapers carrying whisky advertisements from circulating in prohibition ter ritory. The bill was not intended to be so drastic as that, however. and as soon as attention was called to it, the provision was so amended that it would not apply to newspa- pers. The measure prevents the soliciting of orders by agents or by advertising matter.
 The Pistol Bill.
 The senate also passed the Ell ln- troduced by Senator Bush increas- ing the penalties for carrying con- cealed weapons and adding jail sentence which may be imposed at the discretion of the court. The bill makes the fine from $50 to $500 and provides for an optional sentence of from 30 days to three months in jail ,or both fine ar4 jail sentence The bill originally made t'xhe jail sentence mandatory. but this was objected to on the ground that it would make it difficult to se- cure convictions, if the penalty was so severe and this would defeat the very object of the bill. An amend- ment was then proposed by Senator Moore, making the imposition or the jail penalty optional with the court and the bill was passed in that form.
 Allermen's Seats.
 The senate passed Senator Hol- lands bill. which provides that the seat of any alderman in any city shall be declared vacant ii the al- derman shall remove from the ward in which he was elected, and pro- vides for special elections to fill the vacancies.
 Good Roads Bill.
 Senator Arnold attempted to se- cure favorable action on his good roads bill. which provides f'r ike Il creation of improvement districts and the wol:ng of the roads under
 pntract. bue Sen"tnr Montcomery Hsked that an investigation be made to see whether the b!ll would eon- fict with ,ts measure ".!iich pr T. vides for the working of convicts on the public roads. Both bills were
