Basis of the Case.


 Specifically, the case was one in in which w. B. Alexander of Pine Bluff, member of the State Capitol Commission, sought to mandamus State Auditor Avery E. Moore to re- quire the latter to pay to MT. Alex ander the small sum of $14 and some odd cents, which Alexander claimed was due him for mileage, etc, ex- penses in attending the business mat ters connected with the new state capitol. Alexander had gone to the state auditor and asked for warrant for the money. He was refused on the ground that the constitution set forth that no state appropriation could ex- tend more than two years. and that the time limit for the state capitol ap- propriatien had expired. Hence, the auditor held, according to his inter- pretation of the constitution. no more money could be paid from the fund or appropriation. Alexander then brought mandamus proceedings. against the state auditor, requiring him to pay the money On the result of the litiga- tion depended the the matter of com pleting the new state capitol for the reason that, should the courts hold the appropriation was not extinct but could still be used in paying any sum. such as that wanted by Alexander, then the commission could draw on 1t for any amount, and If such was the case, could complete the capitol build ing.
 The lower court decided in favor of Alexander, awarding the mandamus. State Auditor Moore appealed, how ever. The case was submitted to the Supreme Court, about two weeks ago, and oral argument was made Attor- ney General w. F. Kirby made the ar gument in behalf of State Auditor Moore. The case was taken under advisement .and Monday the decision was handed down. the decision revers ing the judgment of the lower court and denying the mandamus.
 Case Has Been Center of Interest.
 The state capitol case has been one of utmost importance. It has held the attention and interest of nearly every one in the state. From state officials all the way down to the common la borer employed ill the building of the new state capitol building, all have waited with intense interest the out come of the case before the Supreme Court Working men who have been waiting here for weeks, still remained in the city idle, waiting to see whether the Supreme Court would decide in favor of the completion of the state capitol or against it. Opinion was greatly divided as to the outcome, it being the opinion of many that the court would sustain the judgment oi the lower court.
