STUDENTS STRIKE.
Thousands Leave Austrian Schools

to Help Professor.
Vienna, June A strike inyolv-
ing nearly 10000 students in all the
leading Austrian universities and
high schools began yesterday through
the renewed activity of DR., Wahr-
mund, professor of Catholic ecclesi-
astical law, whose attitude. as shown
by speech in which he criticised
the doctrines Of the Roman Catholic
church, recently led to difficulties
with the vatican. Wahrmund re-
sumed his anti-clerical lectures at
INNSBRUCK university but the cleri-
cal students there caused such a dis
turbance that the authorit IS closed
the university.
The liberal students at Innesbruck
then called upon the non-clerical stu
dents of all universities to organize
a general strike until Wahrmund's
academic freedom YVES respected.

Rosamond Gets Lease on Life.

The initial act of the new acting
governor, Allen H. Hamiter, was thor.
oughly humanitarian. He granted an
extension of a weeks time to Isaac
Rosamond, the Lafayette county ne
gro condemned to die for killing his
companion, Charley Lewis, year ago.
The reason for the change in the
date for the execution was based on
the fact that the original date, June
10, was Emancipation Day, and the
governor was petitioned by the citizens
of the county to set some other day
far the execution, as the gatherings
of negroes on Emancipation Day are
always abnormal There was also the
reason that it was hardly the proper
thing to hang a negro on the date
whten his fellows were celebrating
their chief festival.
The hanging was simply postponed
a week, and Rosamond will be hanged
on June Goth.

Fly Paper to Protect Trees.

At number of places In Little Rock
where property owners have fine
shade trees, fly paper wrapped around
the trunk of the tree, just below the
branches, with the sticky side out, is
being used to protect the trees from
the ravages of worms. This is the
season when the caterpillar Matched
in the ground at the foot of trees,
climbs to the limbs and out to the
leaves and there eats every vestige
of the green foliage away, These
worms cover trees by the thousands
in some instances but it is claimed
that the sticky fly paper forms a bar
rier past which they cannot crawl.

Doodle Cases Set For Trial.

If all the Doodle cases set for trlai
the present term of the Pulaski CIR
cult Court should come to trial, the
court will be grinding until the last
of July. No cases have been set be-
yond July II, and it is reasonably GER
tain that Judge Lea will not sanction
the setting of cases in August. Cases
against the recently indicted senators
were set for trial as follows:
July 6-Thomas Hardy, perjury. I
July st. H. lobe, perjury
July 10-George F. Floyd, perjury.
July 13-John H. Holland, perjury.
July 15-William F. Harrison, per-

July 17-John A. Hinkle, bribery.
The case against C. " Andrews,
bribery, is set for June "a; A. w. Gov
ington, perjury, June 20, and Claude
Fuller, July 8.
The only one of the men recently
indicted who has been in Little Rock
since the bench warrants were served
is Thomas G.. lobe of Hope. He was
at the court house early Tuesday
morning and looked over the indict.
ment. He also called upon Prosecuting
Attorney Rhoton. The trial of lobe is
set for July s. The former senator
said he was informed that he could
not obtain a trial any sooner, and in
asmuch as that is the state of affairs,
he is satisfied.
The bench warrant against Senator
John H. Holland, who is candidate
for reelection to the Senate from Sc
bastian county, was served at his
home in Greenwood Tuesday. Senator
Holland is accused of perjuring him
self before the Grand Jury when he
said that he did not receive $1,000 to
influence his vote on railroad legis-
lation.
All of the warrants against members
of the 1905 Senate have been served.

understood to be against persons who

Five Governors In IS Months.

The chance remark by Secretary
Paul Little to the effect that he had
served as private secretary to four gov
errors in a little less than a year and
half resulted in little figuring on
just how many chief executives Ar
kansas has had since the election OF
1906.
The list, covering a period OF less
than sixteen months, totals 1--WE, as
follows: jeff Davis, John S. Little,
John Ike Moore, Xenophen o. Pindall
and Allen II. Hamiter.
On the 18th of January year ago,
Gov. JEFF Davis retired to make way
for Gov. Little A few weeks after
this Gov. Little was stricken in health
and the Office reverted to the presi-
dent of the senate, Hon. John /. Moore,
who became the third governor in the
list. At the close of the session of the
general assembly Gov. Moore was sue
ceeded by Hon. X. o. Pindall, who was
elected from the holdover senators as
president of the senate and became the
en- months later, through the absence
of Gov. Pindall from the state, Hon.
Allen Hamiter, speaker Of the house,
is qualified as governor, completing
the quintet of governors who have
ruled the destinies of the State since
January 16, 1907.
This would make, on an average,
little over three months to the execu-
tive, though, of course, most of the
time has been served by Cows. Moore
and Pindall.
Incidentally, it is interesting to note
that within the next eight months
there will be two other governors,
making a total of seven governors for
q little over two years. This results
from the fact that at the next meet
ing of the general assembly, if Gus
tom is followed out, the senate will
organize in advance of the house, elect
ing their president of the senate and
other officers. The president OF the
senate will, by virtue of his office, be-
come acting governor, since this duty
must be filled by the president OF the
senate until the installation of the
next regularly elected governor. AS
the governor is not formally installed
until after the organization of both
houses of the legislature it is evident
that the next president of the senate
will be acting governor during the time
between the election of officers in the
senate and the formal inauguration
Of the new governor, after organiza-
ton of the house of representatives.
