ARKANSAS TRUST ACT.
Supreme Court Renders An Important
 Opinion.


 Little Rock. Ark. Jan. 14.-The Ar- kansas Supreme Court today rendered an opinion which establishes a~prece- dent in the manner of securing evidence from corporations doing business in several States.
 The decision was in the antitrust suit of the State against the Hammond Packing Company @ foreign corpora tion. The lowest court assessed fine of s10.000 against the packing company because It's attorneys refused to permit the taking of testimony before a spe- cial commissioner in Chicago several months ago.
 The Supreme Court today ruled that the clause of the Arkansas antitrust act providing for the taking of testi- mony in another state Is constitutional The court holds that a foreign corpo- ration is just as liable to prosecution as a local corporation and that the state has a right to force corporation officials in other states to testify and produce records before a special com missioner in that state to be used as evidence in suits brought by the State of Arkansas against these corporations.
 The decision makes 1t possible for the attorney general of Arkansas to secure the appointment of special commissioner in any state for the pur- pose of securing evidence from officials of any corporation which is doing busi- ness in Arkansas, but whose books and general officers are outside the state.

 It will thus come about. that "Mnn- ty.' pony cart and all. will be on ex- hibition there. and the successful con- testant win have an additional privi- Iege of driving the pony aroundp the Fair Grounds, as well as seeing all the good things that are to be there on that day.
 There is class of people to whom horse shown on the race track has a great fascination. There can be no doubt that there win be a number at the Fair when Monty" is given away. to whom the pony will be quite fas- cinating. and there will be many who though they may have lost out in the race, will still be glad to see him driv- en by the more successful competitor
 The standing in the pony contest will
