THE LEGISLATURE
 HAS ADJOURNED
X. 0. Pindall Now Acting Governor Hamiter Receives Silver Service DuLaney Praises Jeff Davis
 and Refers to Berry.

ArKanSaS legislature adjourned at high noon today. Pindall was elected president pro tenn and took charge of the governors office at once, Governor Moore relinquishing the office at that time.
 Al Il o'clock today the first veto was recorded. Governor Moore returned house bill No. 300, with statement that he is unable to sign same. The bill is for the esta blishment of an agri- cultural school, by Glover of Grant. The reason given IS that the bill would place too much power in the hands of the con- missioner of agriculture.
 There was no vote to pass the bill over the veto. The house went into closing exercises inn mediately.
 Governor Moore today appoint ed Hon. o. NJ. Killough to aid the attorney general in prosecut- ing the antitrust suits.
 X. o. Pindall is now acting governor, being sworn in to succeed John l. Moore at noon, by Judge Carol D. Wood, of the Supreme court.
 Attorney General Kirby may not accept aid Tn prosecuting the suits against railroads for back taxes. He says the appointment of Killough was made without conferring with him.
 The closing exercises in the house began this forenoon at 10 o'clock. Mir. Fletcher of Frank. lin county, who had been selected to deliver the elegant silver ser vice to Speaker Hamiter, began his remarks soon after. He spoke feeliugly of the estimation in which Mir. Hamiter is held by the members of the house and thought the silver service rendered would ever remain in the Hamiter fam fly as a token of the love ot the house of the Thirty-Sixth general assembly.
 Mir. Stevens of Columbia de- livered to each of the eight pages handsome ring, and to Mir. J. E. Finley, sergeant at arms, was presented handsome gold watch. The chief clerk and the assistant clerks were each given beautiful and servica ole presents, and then Hon. A. D. DuLaney delivered his address. MT. DuLaney is one of the strongest members of the general assembly and is grace full and fluent speaker, but the occasion was rather too much for him. After he had gained some degree of control over his emo tion, among other things, he said:
 "Mr. Speaker and Fellow Members: A tinge of sadness and regret Tn our parting dulls the anticipated joy of our home going. For six legislative years it has been the duty of my dis. tinguished friend, the gentleman n from Franklin (Mr. Fletcher) !, and myself to sit in this hall and serve with nearly 400 different men. Some have been bad, some have been good-siill it has been left for the Thirty-Sixth assembly to do things.
 Ut is not my purpose to recall the laws that have been passed by this body that will mean veal or woe to the state, but saffice to say that this has been session of busiuess-a session of hard work
 1.-The sessien of 1905 saw only 25 old members return to the house. Many of the younger members of 1903 became leaders l in 1905. One great event in that session was the defeat of the stat capitol bill, the same having also been a leading event in the present session. The mAngled body of the Dasis-Keei- Ruff King-Logan-anti-trust act was not left bleeding at the feet of the Goddess of Justice by the
