YOUNG BOYS IN TROUBLE.
Arrested and Locked In Jail For Steal
 ing From a Hotel Sample Room.

Elzie Landes and John Cum mius, two reckless boys near the age Is years, were arrested yes terday evening and taken before Squire Sam Smith this morning by Officer Bickle charged with the theft oi a quantity of dry goods from a store room on De Queeu street.
 A traveiing man named Moore, representing the Beall X Black Dry Goods Co.,, of Fort Smith, has been using the building, which until recently was occupied by J. w, Leeper's grocery, for a sample room. Tuesday the key 10 the back door disappeared. That night quantity of goods such as trousers, shirts, socks, underwear, collar buttons, French harps, etc also disappeared. d.
 The loss was reported to Marsh- al Bickle. The officer upon learning that Elzie LandeS, who at this time was porter at the Brady hotel, had been caring for this sample room suspected the boy of having committed the theft from the fact that this boy had been in such troubles before.
 After arresting Elzie it was not very long until MT. Bickle had a full confession from him and before the end Elzie said that John Cummlns was with him in the job. The oftic- CTS found all the goods where the boys had hidden them around the premises at their homes.
 In justice court this morning the bows both waived examination and were lodged in jail under $500 bond to await the action of the grand jury which meets in April.

Fl. SMITH WANTS
 ROAD CONVENTION
Will Give $500 to Secure Next Session. Important Laws Recommended at Little Rock -Great Enthusiasm
 Is Shown.

Little Rock, Jan. 31.-The State Good Roads Association has adjourned the most enthusi- astic meeting ever held in the state.
 After She consideration of all bills before the convention they passed a resolution recommending the state legislature to act favor ably in connection with the App provement District bill, Mont gomery Convict road bill aud tbe FalConer state aid bill. The legis- lature was also asked to amend the state laws so that the ap- pointments of road overseers could be made by the county judge, also giving him the power to let the contract for all road work. They also recommended the passage of bill making II unlawful for the use of narrow rimmed wheels on heavy draft vehicl-s after d course of five years.
 A committee composed of Harry E Kelly, of Fort Smith Judge Kavanaugh, of Conway; J. M. Lewis, of Jonesboro and j.. F. Hawkins, of Little Rock was appointed to present the recom- mended bills before the legisla- ture. It Is thought in this city that the bills will be fasorably acted upon.
 The matter of selecting place for the meeting of next year was left in the hands of the executive committee.
 In order to keep down all low bids and to force Hot Springs and other towns to pay reason able price for the selection of the place of meeting the delegates oi Fort Smith raised a sum of $500 for the bringing of the convention to the Border City.

STATE CAPITOL
 INVESTIGATION
Joint Committee Endorses Resolution Providing For Inquiry Into All Matters Connected With State
 Capitol Building.

Little Rock. Jan. 30.-Au in- vestigation that will develop fully the conditions that have sur rounded the state capitol work was iuaugurated last night at the first meeting of the Joint State Capitol Committee when the resolution introduced in the Senate several days ago granting full powers along this line was endorsed by unanimous vote.
 The resolution was presented in the senate by Senator Wingo, but was withdrawn until the joint committee had organiz d and made its preliminary plans. These were outlined last night, and a unanimous sentiment for a full and free investigation of tue work of building the capitol that would cover every feature of the case was expressed.
 Senators Oldham, Arnold, Robb, Milan, Legate, Patterson, and Wingo were present from the senate, and Messrs. killough, Hunt, Simpson, Leigh, Smithers, and Roby from the house.
 On motion of Senator Wineo Senator Oldham of Pulaski was made chairman of the committee. It was agreed that a bill be pre- scented asking for clerk who IS a stenographer to aid the com mittee in the taking of testimony and keeping the minutes of the meeting.
 The question of conducting the iuvestig ation behind closed doors was taken up and discussed, and It was finally decided that the meeting would be generally open, but the executive sessions would be necessary when the taking of testimony began.
