COM MITTEE VISITS
 STATE UNIVERSITY
Fraternity Question Is Being Investi- gated and Representatives of Both Sides Have Been
 Examined.

Fayetteville, Feb. 17.-The University Committee of the General Assembly, composed of Senators Mckenzie, Wingo and Martin and Representatives Beck, Turner, Van Hook and Pugh, is here for the purpose of investi- gating the affairs of the univer- sity.
 Besides making an inspection of the new buildings and auditing the books of the secretary and treasurer, the fraternity question will also be investigated, and for this purpose the committee has examined twelve students, SIX of whom are fraternity men and six non-fraternity.
 The fate of the bill authorizing an appropriation of $700,000 for the university depends largely upon the report made by this committee. The increased at- tendance has made larger appropriation necessary. The university i> now using buildings erected thirty years ago when there was an attendance of about 100 students. These structures are, of course. entirely inadequate, now that the student body num- bers LEGO.
 Among the buildings asked for are: A building for geology, museum and mining; a building for phs sics; library building, Y. M. c. A. building, an astro- nomical building, a steam laundry building, power plant and a dormitory mess hall.
 The different departments are also badly crowded, ard an addi- tional force of instructors is al- most imperative.

Harri- man and men associated with him, There has been d persistent report in Washington for a week or so that the government. through the department If justice. has collected evidence tend ing to show that the Hartman lines constitute combination in restraint If trade, and as such would be prose
 uted under terms of the sherman inti-trust act.
 It was stated that in order to avoid giving MT. Hartman an immunity oath he would not be called to tes- tify before the interstate commerce commission at New York on February 25. II may be stated upon authority of two members of the commission, Chairman Martin A. Knapp and Frank lin K. Lane, that no change has been made in the programme to have Mir. Harriman testify at the forthcoming hearing as to facts in his possession concerning the conduct and manage ment" of the railroads consolidated thar bears his name"

 Tt has as little foundation. in fact, as the rumor circulated some time ago that our investigation of the Hartman lines had been suspended" said MT. Lane.
 Based upon disclosures already made, the opinion prevails in Wash ington that the pending inquiry of the interstate commerce commission will be followed in due time by the filing of suit against the Hartman man. agement under provisions of the Sher- man antitrust act The government proceeded along the lines 1t is now following in the case of the Hill mer- ger. which was dissolved by decree Of the United States supreme court The commission investigated the conduct of the Northern Securities company, the holding concern of the Hill roads and this was followed by prosecutions on tae part of the attorney general against the merger Of the northwest

A BLOW TO
 FOREMAN
Circuit Court Refuses to Grant Petition for Little River County Seat Eleciion--Case to Be
 Appealed.

Attorney Norwood upon his re turn from Ashdown where he has been attending Little River county circuit court, reports that the court refused the petition ask ing for an election to give the people of that county an oppor- tunity to move the county seat from Ashdown.
 Mir. Norwood and J. $. Lake represented the Foreman interests who are trying to get the county seat. They had plenty of names on the petition but the opposing attorneys charged that there were many fctlcious names on the list.
 In au .ffort to refute this charge Mir. Nerwood called for the poll tax list. The clerk pro duced a list and after checking the two lists for two days it was found that 1t was only copy of the original list and the charge is made that 1t was not a com plete list or true copy. Efforts 70 get the original failed and the special judge, Prat Bacon of Texarkana, refused the petition.
 Attorneys Norwood and Lake axpect to appeal the case.
