'R0WELL'S FIRST
 MEASURE UP Fought for Forty Minutes in the House Yesterday on a Point of Order and Introduced
HOUSE BILL NO. 7
Farmers Of Jefferson County Demand Enforcement of Contracts for Per- sonal Service. He Says-The Bill in Full.

After a fight of more than forty minutes on a point of order, Repre- sentative Alexander Powell of this city yesterday secured the introduc- tion of house bill No. [, providing for the better enforcement of contracts for personal services. Representative Rowoell is very anxious to secure the passage of this bill. The farmers of this section ofo the state are demand ing it and he declares that it is no more than right that they have it.
 Speaking of othe bill Saturday, after it's introduction, MT. RoWoell said: q think l shall be able to show to the members of the houose that this bill will not result in imprisonment for debt, but that it is for the pur- pose set out in the title, to protect contracts. The supreme court of Alabama, in the case of the State vs. Thomas, as reported in the fortieth Southern Reporter, held that this bill is not unconstitutional and does not in any manner conflict with the or ganic law. To place this bill upon our statutes will mean hundreds of thousands of dollars to the farmers of this state, and at the same time would not injure any one or any in- terests. The bill is as follows:
 A bill for an act to be entitled an act for the better enforcement of con- tracts for personal services.
 Be it enacted by the general assem- ply of the state of Arkansas:
 Section 1. Any person, who with in- tent to injure, or defraud, his employ CT, enters into a contract in writing tor the performance of any act or ser vice; and thereby obtain money or other personal property from such employer, and with like intent and without just cause and without re- funding such money or paying for such property, refuses or fails to per form such act, or service, must on conviction be punished as if he had stolen it. and the refusal or failure of any person, who enters into such con- tract to perform such act, or service, or refund such money, or pay for such property, without just cause, shall be prima facie evidence of the intent to injure, or defraud, his em- ployer.
 Sec. ?. That all acts and parts of acts in conflict herewith are hereby repealed and this act shall take ef- feet and be in force from and after it's passage.
 Another important measure offered at the forenoon session of the house provides for state uniformity of text books and the establishment of a state printing office by which such books shall be printed. z
 The house adjourned at il a. m until Monday in honor of the centen- ary of Gen. Robert E. Lee.

 COMMEMORATED
 - tGt One Hundredth Birthday of General Lee Observed by Local Confederates at the Elks Theater. I
REVEREND ANDREWS
Orator of the Dccasion-Allrcsse Flu. logistie of the Great Soldier- Crowd Large and Enthusiastic- The Program.

The hundredth anniversary of the birth of General Robert F Lee, the greatest of Confederate soldiers. was fittingly eommomOrated last night at the Elks theater by mem- bers of the J. Ed Murray Camp, United Confederate Veterans; David o. Dodd Chapter, Daughters of the Confederacy and J. Seldom Roane Camp, United Sons of Veterans, and a large host of friends who gathered there to do honor to the great Southern idol of the Civil war.
 Addresses, eulogistic of the great soldier of the Confederacy were de- livered and the great lesson of his upon all present by the speakers of the evening"
 The arrangements for the not able exercises were perfected by a committee from the J. Ed Murray Camp, with Thomas Green as chairman. Nothing was left undone tomake the occasion success. In the large audience were many old soldiers who followed the tattered banner of the South under the matchless warrior, whose birthday they observed. The enthusiasm was equal to that which chn"acter- ized their marches in days gNne by.
 The program consisted of music and recitations. Each T ;mtrr was liberally applauded. Those who took part did so with credit tr them-. selves and the respective Confeder- ate organizations they represented.
 Reverend w. F. Andrews of Lit tie Rock, was the orator of the evening" His address on Lee" was beautiful eulogy. Tn p:ut he said:
 "God proposed great thihps in America when seeking religious lib- erty, found on bleak and barren shore, and fought savages and star vation. From the decendants of these heroic sons of liberty and daughters of freedom Americas citizenship sprung. By the fifties deep differences had sprung up; slavery was now national issue. Deep and bitter prejudices were stirred. The compromise of 1850 was made and the heart-broken deepened War was in- evitable. Secession followed The Union turned to R. E. Lee for lead- ership and offered him the com- mand of the Union forces He cast his lot with his state and the Con- federacy Princely pure and a Gen. eral of the first water, General Lee became the embodiment of srtte Southern cause,
 Five Northern generals in suc- cession were sent against Lee. The army of the Potomac was driven back by the armies of North Vir> ginia. Lee, the genius of the war. showed himself the master of tho art of battle. Outnumbered two to one and often three to one or more. he beat back general after gen. ,ral in brilliant campaigns"

REMOVAL Of RESTRICTIONS
DEPENDING UPON ACTIVITY

Those Republican politicians who
are openly opposing the adoption OF
the constitution are laying much
stress upon the fact that there are
restrictions to be removed from land
in the Indian Territory before It will
be taxable. and therefore not only
will the western half Of the state be
called upon to pay most OF the
states taxes, but 4 will be rulnous
to maintain count rpvernments on
the east side.
The weakness in this position lies
In the fac, ,&at lt. dov-, NO.. contem-
plate any act Of legislation which win
remove admitted wrongs. II would
certainly be weak for Republicans
to admit that a Republican congress
would refuse TO remove the restric.
tlons which It placed ON tho land,
after II hs. been demonstrated that
they are ill-suited and inlmlcal with
the interests OF the people OF tho
state.
Few, n any, OF those politicians will
say out loud that congress- will refuse
to provide for immediate removal OF
