E 5DAYS' GRACE
 TO CORPORATIONS
Governor Pindall Dictates Statement Explaining His Reasons for Exten- sion of Time in Enforcement of
 Wingo's Corporations Law.

Little Rock, May 16. Late resterday Governor X. o. Pindall dictated a statement regarding the Wiugo domestic corporations law of which the following is a part:
 "The provisions of the Wiugo bill requiring the filing of non- resident corporations of the dec laration of their board of direct prs waving their right to trans fer their causes from the state to the Federal courts, is extreme re- earding immediate enforcement; and while, of course, the con- servatism of the legislature was seeking only to modify the Ross act. conditions are now such that deem 1t unreasonable to expect impossibilities to be accomplished l therefore believe that thfS IS just. that no action should be instituted under the provisions of this section until fifteen days after this date. and that even if penalties should attach by virtue of proceedings instituted for their collection, these penalties should be remitted, if they have accrued before fifteen days after date.
 From that time, of course, a strict enforcement of the act is to be expected. l realize that this is requirement. that cannot be instantly complied with and for that reason I hope that no pro ceedings will be instituted until fifteen days after date.
 'I make this statement out of justice to the business interests of the state, and I believe that no interests should be offended by it.

PARDONs ESCAPED CONVICT.
Moore Extends Liberty to Man Who Is
 at Large.

From the Gazette.
 Former Acting Governor John l. Moore issued pardon to Lo- gan D. Wallace, a convict who escaped from the convict gang al Natural Steps about ten days ago, and who IS now at large.
 Wallace was convicted of for gery in the Pulaski circuit court in the May term of 1900, and was sentenced to serve a term of four years in the penitentiary. Wal lace, who was originally from Mississippi, and 1t is said to be of good family and related to num- Der of prominent Mississippians, was arrested in Memphis, Decem- Der 3l, 1905, by the authorities of that city at the instance of For mer Chief of Police U. Hawkins.
 He is alleged to have forged and cashed a number of checks in this city.
 Chief Hawkins went to Mem phs immediately after the arrest ot Wallace there and brought him to this city. is probable that Wallace will still believe himself to be fugitive from justice for several days after the issuing of the pardon, as his wherea bouts are not now known and he will probable first learn of his pardon through the press. The pardon was the lass ouc issued by Cover nor Moore.
