Further Effect Of Kirby Opinion

Little Rock, Aug. 20.-If State Auditor Moore follows the in depreciation of the law in the opinion rendered by Attorney General Kirby, given at the in- stigation of the State Capitol Commission, as to the power of it's members to exceed the ap- fpropriation in the construction of the state house, there will be no money apportioned this year for the operation of the state schools or for the payment of Confederate pensioners. The effect of Attorney c II CT a Kirby's decisionis to characterize as illegal any expenditure of state money unless it is first specifically appropriated for the purpose intended by the legiSla- ture. For thirty years the ap' portionment of the common school fund has been made by the State Board of Education, without recourse for authority to the legislature. Since 1891 the 1-mill state tax levy for Confed- crate pensioners has been dis tributed likewise. According to tthe opinion of the attorney general, these funds have been expended unlawfully because no appropriation had been made by the legislature every two years, as the constitution requires.
 State Auditor Moore is at his home in Faulkner county and is not expected back before the last of the month. His past ac- tions indicate that where a ques- tion of precedent or law is in volved he will follow the law. In the question that has arisen as the result of Attorney General Kirby's opinion he h a s tw o courses open, to ignore the ques-

Bribery Cases 10 Bs Tried.

Little Rock, Aug. 19. From present indications the trial of every member of the legislature of 1905, who is under indictment for alleged boodling will be called before the close of the present year. Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton stated today that he will shortly make an effort to have each case set for trial during the coming term of the Pulaski cir cult court, which opens on the first Monday in October, and will insist upon the trial of every in dicted senator and representative during that term. He says he will do likewise with the indict- ments pending against others not members of the legislature. Mir. Rhoton says he is also ready to proceed with the trial of May or Faucette, of Argenta, who was recently indicted for alleged con spiracy to bribe a member of the jury that tried Sen. A. T. Cross at Perryville last week.
 Bribery, conspiracy to bribe and perjury are the charges lodg- ed against all, excepting Senator McFerrin and Representative Fuller. They were indicted upon charges alleging that they accept ed free transportation from the railroads, a misdemeanor under the Arkansas statutes. Senators Gross and Butt will be tried at Perryville, as they were given a change of venue to that county.
