 Other ordinances, governing the li- censes for peddling of vegetables meats, the opeartion of theaters and for auctiOneers, were amended. In fu- lure vegetable dealers will have to pay the city s30 per annum or s6 per month; meat peddlers, $50 per annunl or $7.50 per month, and auctioneers $50 per annum. BIO per week or s. per day.
 The license, for operating theater here was increased to S100 per annum s25 per week or s for each perform ance. In days gone by theater man agers were compelled to pay only s23 per annum for the theater privilege. It was argued by some in the council that the license should be increased to $20O per year. but Alderman Nichol opposed it, saying that he did not think the theater should be compelled to pay license fee at all. He finally agreed to $50 per year, but Alderman Fox added substitute to his amend ment and the s100 annual license fee was adopted.

tons to the leagues policies was that the Arkansas Methodists were given F members of the state board. and the Baptists, with as large following, were only given six. Objections were also made to the administration of the leagues affairs.
 The convention closed shortly af- ter o'clock yesterday afternoon and , the messengers immediately started ! for their homes. Aside from the tilt between the Anti-Saloon League ad- herents and it's opponents the work of the convention was laid out and con sisted of the reports of committees A resolution was introduced by Rev. D. B. Jones of Fayetteville to require each delegate to future conventions to pay for his maintenance during the session. This was carried. It was the contention of the supporters of the resolution that to entertain so large an organization as the Baptist State Convention would be too great drain upon the resources of any city in Ar kansas except Little Rock Before the passage of the resolution no invitations had been rceieved from cities who wished to entertain the 1908 conven- tion.
 After it's passage invitations were received from Fayetteville and Hot Springs The matter was finally left to the State Board, which will decide upon the next meeting place of the convention at the boards regular meeting in January
 The resolution as offered by Mr. Autrey' was: 'Whereas, The Arkan- sas Baptist State Convention has grown to such immense proportions; and
 'WhereaS, The burden of entertain ment is already too great for all but one or two of our largest cities, there fore

COUNCIL DID NOT
 ACT 0N SALOONS Ordinance Requiring Them to Close From Midnight Till 5 a. m. Was Not Brought Forth
 THEATER LICENSE Is fncreaSed-Other License Fees Ar. ranged For Convenience and G.ip to City-CircuseS Will Have to Pay More For Shows.

Although the city council held d brief session Monday night at the city nall. much important business was transacted. The ordinance, which was referred to the ordinance committee last week, providing for the closicc of saloons at midnight until , a. IT.. was ont even referred to at this meet ing and, it is rumored, that the coun- cil will not bring up the ordinance until after the primary election which is to be held early next year for the selection of county officers. Just what bearing the election has on the adoD- ton of such an ordinance is to be only imagined. It is stated, however. that the saloon men have been quite active since the introduction of the ordinance by Alderman Hudson, and that some effective work has been done among the councimen in the way of urging them not to act on the or finance at this time.
 
 ordinance committee with instructions to amend il so as to include the bawdv houses, which. under the proposed or dinance, will not be permitted to sell liquors between midnight and , o. clock in the morning, if the ordinance is adopted. It is known that some of the aldermen oppose such strict meas ures when the saloons are being con- sidered. One aldermen has expressed himself as intending to vote against the ordinance and Mayor w L. Ton ey has stated, in view of the fact that the saloon men are heavily taxed for operating. that so long as they do not conduct disorderly places, they should be permitted to use their own judg- ment as to the hours they should keep open their saloons. Sunday of course, is excepted by Mayor Toney in his ar gument.
 Nevertheless the ordinance was not reported on last night. Mayor Toney presided over the aldermanic body and all of the councilmen were present ex- ceptng Alderman Jordan. The coun- Gil adopted a resolution declaring a negro bawdy house on East Barraque street a nuisance and Chief of Police Stewart was ordered to close the joint. Recent robberies and disturbances there are what prompted the council to take this action.
 Ordinance No. S29 relative to bill posting and circular distributing Was amended. at the instance of Alderman Fred Fox, so as to make the license fee S. per month and $2 per day. Here- tofore the ordinance provided that li- cense should be issued for one year for $100 or for one month at $1O. This avoids the necessity of taking out an annual license and will be more re- munerative for the city and more con- venient for visiting bill posters or cir cular distributors.
 An ordinance regulating the prices for circus parades, performances or menageries was read a first and second time and placed on the calendar.

BAPTIST STATE
 CONVENTION OVER
Meeting Finally Adiourn> Without Ep- dorsing the ti.SaloOn League No More Free Entertainment
 for Messengers.

Before the close of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention yesterday the Anti-Saloon League forces were given another stinging defeat, says the Little Rock Gazette. The convention absolutely refused to endorse spe officially the work of the league either state or national. A resolution was passed commenting the work and en- dorsing all temperance organizations in the state. An attempt by Rev. w. T. Amis of Hot Springs to incorporate a specific endorsement of the league resulted in the defeat of the hopes of the league to secure recognition
 Within one minute of the time for the adjournment of the morning ses- sion Rev. A. H. Autrey dropped a troducing a resolution as follows: Resolved, That this convention re- iterate with all possible emphasis it's untiring and unrelenting opposition to the liquor traffic and that we record our hearty sympathy with and pledge all possible effort to help in every legitimate way every temperance or ganization which has for it's object the annihilation of the liquor business.
 Immediately following it's second Mr. Amis offered as an amendment and that we endorse the work of l1e Anti-Saloon League. both state and na . tiOnal."
 Ruled Out of Order.
 President Atkinson then ruled the amendment by Mr. Amis out of orler The latter immediately appealed flCn the decision of the chair The gave! was surrendered to Rev. Harvey i.eau~ champ. who, after rising vote, de- clared the decision of the char sus- taned. The vote approXimated 20 to 90 in favor of sustaining the president No further attempts were made dur ing the closing sessions of the con vention to introduce the temperance question.
 Despite the many temperance dis cussions on the floor of the convention at no time was report made by the Committee on Temperance. Sunday af- ternoon, when the report should have been presented according to the or der of business, it was not in readi- ness. No opportunities for it's presen- tation offered themselves afterward.
 The Temperance Committee prepar- ed two different reports. The last one contained the provisions or conditions which the Anti-Saloon League of Ar kansas would be required to meet be- fore the convention could consider en- dorsing their work One of the objec-

MAY ESTABLISH
AN APPEAL COURT
Episcopal Convention to Con-
slider the Matter in
October
GIVES DIVORCE ATTENTION

The advisability OF establishing a
court of appeals for the trial OF
clergy will be one of the most import
ant matters of business to be consid-
cred at the General Convention of the
Episcopal Church, to be held at Rich
mond. Va. beginning the first We'd
nesday in October. 1t is a matter
that has aroused keen interest among
church people generally.
At present the Episcopal Church has
no court of appeals for the trial Of
a clergyman convicted by a diocesan
court. There are eight courts of re-
view, one for each Of the departments
into which the church in this country
has been divided for that purpose.
Owing to the fact, however, that under
the circumstances. there could be no
unity of action between these eight
courts, the canons prohibited them
from passing on questions Of doctrine.
They can only review the evidence OF a
diocesan court.
Among other matters TO be consider
ed will be the great need for the trans
lation of the Book of Common Prayer
into various languages. A necessity
for this is found in the great number
of foreigners coming to this country.
Commissions have been at work for
some time on the preparation Of Swed-
ish and German versions.
Marriage and Divorce.
The marriage and divorce question,
which has aroused much serious de-.
bate at previous conventions and as

BOARD OF TRADE
FIGHTS FOR CITY
Wants Y. N. c. A. Building
Constructed by Local
He2dS and Hands

Agitated over rumors that the Y. NJ
c. A. building here is to be built by
outside contractors. the trade and
commerce committees of the Board Of
Trade has decided to get into COM
munication with the Y. NJ. c. A. peo-
pie at once with the view of having
the 100000 hall built by local con-
tractors and mechanics.
Henry B. Thompson, one of the
directors of the Y. M. c. A., explains
that while the building will be erected
by one oVt-of-town general contractor,
Wilmington contractors have been
given opportunity to bid on the work
and it is probable that they will get
the sub-contracts. Mr.. Thompson
said:
LAS there is no general contractor
here with thee reception Of one con-
cern which is familiar with the con-
struction of fire-proof structures and
those built of steel. we decided to have
the architects. Frank Miles Day and
Brother of Philadelphia, supervise the
work generally. This win enable tho
committee to let out the work on sub
contracts advantageously. We have
asked twenty-five individuals and
firms in Wilmington to bid on different
sultcontracts, thereby giving local
enterprises a chance to profit on the
operation. The building committee
will be in full charge of the work"
Messrs Frank Miles Day and
Brother, the Philadelphia architects
who will supervise the work of con-
struction, will give out the contracts
one day this week.

Hart, secretary to the House Of Bish-
ops Of the Episcopal Church, in talking
of the matter recently, said he did not
believe the church would change its
divorce canon. "This canon" he con-
tinued, "is now very strict Only one
case has come up under its provision.
in which, after all the requirements
had been met and the approval of the
bishop had been secured, II was found
that the marriage OF the divorced
parties concerned was against the laws
Of the State. The present canon allows
the innocent party to a divorce decree
granted for infdelity to remarry under
certain restrictions. A number Of
priests and bishops would like to see
the canon changed 80 as TO prevent
the remarrying of a divorced person
