SIXTY BILLS PASSED
British Parliament Ends Long
and trduouS Session.
MINISTER'S TO KEEP BUSY
Member of Cabinet Will Begin to Pre-
pare important Reform Measure to
Next Parliament.

London, Aug. 29.-With picturesque
old time ceremonial the British par
lament was prorogued during the day,
thus ending one of the longest and
most arduous sessions, during which
the royal assent was given to over
sixty bills which the two houses
passed.
The members of the house OF COM
mons assembled at noon and shortly
afterwards they We're summoned 10
the house of lords, where the king S
speech was read The statements
made were of the usual coioriess char
acter, referring to the recent royal
visits and the friendly relations exist
ing between Great Britain and the
other powers, the conclusion of the
agreement with Spain and the peace
conference at The Hague, concluding
with a review of the most important
bills passed during the session.
While the prorogation enables pri,
vate members of parliament to pro-
ceed to the enjoyment of the holidays
the ministers have prepared long
programme for themselves. The pres
ident OF the board of trade. Mr.. Lloyd
George, and the president of the local
government board, Mr.. Burns, are go
ing to Germany, where they will study
trade development and social reforms
with the view to the introduction into
Great Britain of some of the German
methods. The under secretary Of the
colonies, Winston Spencer Churchill,
is starting for Uganda, returning by
the Nile, and all of them will assem-
BILE in London during the month of
November to plan the work of the
next session, which, if their promises
are carried out, will be buster than the
one just closed and bring nearer to a
climax the conflict between the house
Of commons and the house of lords.
Sweeping reforms will be intro
duced. chief of which will be the
licensing and educational bills and the
proposed housing reform and regener-
alton of the port of London. These
measures are ready to be introduced
into parliament when it reassembles
early in the new year. As soon as one
bill is passed another will be present
ed thus avoiding the criticism levelled
at the chief measures of the past ses-
sion, that the legislation was hastily
prepared and that the lords were not
given time to fully consider the bills
brought before the upper house.

ARKANSAS TEAM ON A TOUR.
Will Play in Louisiana Where Good
 Record Was Made Last Year.

Fayetteville, Nov. 2.-The Ar kansas football team leaves Mon day on it's annual southern trip. Louisiana State University and Tulane will be played on the trip south and Hendrix on the return. The team will go by way of Mem- phis, as the first fray will be pulled off with the state uniyer sity bunch at Baton Rouge on Wednesday. This is the rubber" game of series, each team hav- ing an equal number of games to its credit. Last years game, too, was tie.
 The game at New Orleans will also be an interesting one. It was here last season that Arkan- sas made the 65-yard forward pass-the longest record in America during the entire season. It was on this play, too, and the fake which went with it, that Longman's men won the day and the Tulane squad will doubtless be loaded against a repetition of this spectacular play.

MURDERER CAUGHT.
Negro Who Shot We'll Known Texar-
 kama Man Arrested.

Texarkana, Nov. 3.-A tele- phone message received here last night from Sheriff Davis at Lees vile, La., announced the arrest at Bay City, Tex. of Will Thomp- son, a negro, who, on September g, brutally murdered c. B. Hob- good in lumber camp near De- Ridder, La.
 The murdered man was a brother of c. w. Hobgood, cash fer of the Cotton Belt at this place and also of J. D. Hobgood, who clerks at the A. J. Key holds store on East Broad street. The brothers offered a reward of Sl0O tor the arrest of the murderer, and the Governor of Louisiana also issued proclamation offer ing a reward.
 The murder as narrated some weeks ago m the Texarkanian' was most brutal one. The negro had been working for the lumber company, for which MT, Hubg ood was manager, but be came angry and quit. He de manded his pay and Mir. Hobgood gave him his time" but this did not please the negro, who in' formed him that if he did not pay him every cent that was coming to him, then and there, he would kill him. Mir. HoSgood could not do this, not having the amount of cash on hand. and the negro, thereupon, deliberately shot him to death with Win chester rifle.

JURY DISAGREED.
Majority Wished to Acquit Man Who
 Murdered Untrue Wife.

Fort Smith, Nov. 2.-After having considered the case for nearly twenty-four hours, the jury in the trial of B. H. Ghols- ton reported they could not agree and the jurors were discharged today. The jury stood 9 to } for acquittal, and this ballot ;aas not changed from the first to the last.
 Gholston, school teacher, was charged with murdering his wife in this city last July, by cut ting her throat with pocket knife. The murder has never been denied, as there were eye witnesses. Extenuating circum' stances were alleged in that the woman was said to be untrue to her marriage vows.
 Powerful friends have aided Gholston, but he was indifferent to his fate and frequently stated he expected to be hanged for the offense. Despite the efforts oi the state, the grand jury indicted him for manslaughter only.

 CAMPAIGN OPENS
Dig Meeting at Hot Springs Sunday Printed Advertising Matter Dis appears and Arrests are
 Promised-$ Raised

Hot Springs, Nov. 3.-The campaign for state wide prohibi. ton ID Arkansas was inaugurated here today by meetings iu various churches and great mass meet ing this afternoon at the court house.
 Rev. G. W. Eichelberger, D. D.. and Rev. E. A. Tabor, secretary ot the league, spoke at five churches, morning and evening, and the mass meeting at the court house was attended by about 1000 people. Rev. w. D. Corrigan, pastor of the NJ. E. church, presided, and the mem bers of the w. c. T. U. were present and entered into the work with enthusiasm. Collections for the campaign fund were taken up and they amounted 10 about $500. Further contributions are expected before Messrs. Eichel- berger and Tabor leave.
 An unpleasant incident at- tached to the visit of the orators was the theft of $500 circulars, announcing the mass meeting. They were ordered printed and were delivered at the Great Northern hotel, where Mir. Eich elberger was a guest. They were placed on the desk prepara- tory to being sent up to his room. Some man came from the bar room, picked up the package and walked out of the hotel with it under his arm.
 Mir. Eichelberger heard of the loss a few minutes later and started out to do little detective work on his own account. He says that he secured proof of the identity of the man and that he will go before the justice of the peace tomorrow and swear out a warrant against him, charging him with petit larceny. Mir. Eich. elberger refuses to give the name of the man, but says he is local brewery agent.

performed the operation, telegraphed the governor that few more days of treatment were needed before he could be sure that the old trouble would not return.
 It is believed by many here that the extension of the parole means that the governor will grant full pardon to Dalton and that his reason for ex' tending 1t was to give him time to return to Kansas so the pardon could be issued. A pardon cannot be granted by telegraph or telephone Many friends of Dalton, several oi them men whom he did not know un' tii he came to Topeka, are working in his behalf. They are confident that the governor will grant the pardon.

WOULD CALL AN
 EXTRA SESSION
sbould Legislators Desire to Meet to Place State Funds in Banks Governor Pindall Would
 Issue Call.

Governor X. O. Pindall Fr d y r;yht stated that should a ma ;ority of members of the legisla t,re favor calling an extra ses- siou to deposit the funds of the st.te in banks with a view to rplieving the present financial strngency be would be willing .o issue such call. He declares that he would be personally in favor Of depositing the states funds in the banks, amply secured, at any time, and that the only reason for calling special ses- siun now is the present financial stringency. Governor Pindall stated he did not know just what amount of currency is in the treasury of the state, but that he understands 1t to be about $1,- 5O0,000.
 "Is il true that you have indi- cated a desire to call the legisla- ture in special session, to take some steps to relieve the financial stringency ?" Governor Pindall was asked.
 "No," he answered. "I would, however, do anything the legis- lature sees tit'to do to relieve the situation. Personally, I favor such move.
 II do not see any reason for calling special session except because of the present financial stringency," continued Governor Pindall. II think such a dispo- sition of the funds would be de- sirable at any session of the legislature. I see no reasos why the states money should be lying idle in the vaults of the treasury when 1t could be drawing interest for the state in some bank, which would furnish ample security to safeguard the deposits"
 ''How much money is there in the treasury" Governor Pindsll was asked.
 "That is another and a hard question:" replied Governor Pin dall, 'since l have no records at hand. 1 should say, however, that the currency on hand would amount to something like $l, 500,- 0O0."
