ADD
 TO MEMBERSHIP
Fifteen New Members Joined the Lo. cal Branch of the Arkansas Tray. elers Last Night at Weekly Mect- fng-GOing After K. P. Grand Lodge Meeting Also.

Fifteen new members were listed last night at the meeting of the Ar kansaw Travellers which was held at the Hotel Jefferson. Various matters
 were discussed. President w. N. Tru- lock presided and Secretary Guy Lef- lar was also on hand.
 The Travellers are making great preparations to go to the big conven- tion in Fort Smith early in June and reports last night were to the effect that more than two hundred local
 members will go to the Border City
 on the special, which is being arrang-
 ed for them by the Pullman company.
 More encouraging reports are being
 received daily relative to the bright
 prospects for Pine Bluff securing the
 1909 meeting of the travelling men. With the medical men and the phar- macists, who have already selected
 Pine Bluff as the meeting place next year, the Travellers would make Pine Bluff real convention city.
 At the meeting of Lafayette Lodge, Knights of Pythias, which will be held Monday night at the lodge hall, the matter of inviting the grand lodge of Knights of Pythias to meet in this city in 1909 will be discussed. I. J. Moore stated last night that it was entirely with the local lodge as to whether or not an invitation would be extended that body to gather here in annual session next year. If the invitation is extended it is most likely that the Board of Trade will send large con- mittee to Little Rock Tuesday, when the grand lodge meeting will convene, and extend the invitation with the To- cal Knights on behalf of the Board of Trade and the city of Pine Bluff. This is one of the largest orders in the state and Pine Bluff should make an effort to secure the convention for 1909.

 ATTEND QPEnInG

Have you ever seen a beyy of busy beavers build a dam? Well. that's what the workmen at Forest Park have reminded casual observers of inc past week, regardless of the determined ef- forts of the "nawsty" old weather man to stop them. Like an army of beav- CTS the workmen have been laboring almost necessarily the past week to get Forest Park in readiness for the grand opening on tomorrow, Monday, night. And what's more, everything is ready. Even the big Figure Eight, which was built at an expense of more than $10,000.
 When the free gates are thrown open at Forest Park Monday night the people of Pine Bluff will have good reasons to be proud. When the thous- ands of lights which have been install- ed there are turned on the most beau tlful sight ever presented in this city will be offered to an interested public
 All the buildings at the park have been completed, the zoo has been sup piled with new animals, including two cute little Teddy Bears, and all of the equipments have arrived and have been installed. Great preparations are being made for the opening and thous- ands of visitors are expected to come

NO PAY FOR EXTRA SESSION

ly that they had right or did not have a right to assemble. The exlg- encies of the case demand that they know this.''
 This springs the question, "HoW can the right be determined in advance? Who is authority and where can the legislator who is really sincere find re- lief?'
 It has been sugges hatdte7S9os. It has been suggested that some member request the attorney general for an opinion as to whether or not the revocation of the call is legal; that it would become his duty to give an opinion. in view of the fact that the legislator is an interested party. This opinion, it is cited, would be official and binding, unless questioned by an appeal by one side or the other to the courts, where the opinion would be !overruled or sustained without any particular delay. By such course. it is pointed out, the question might have been settled before the date Of the call
 Against the Session.
 As the situation now stands the con- ditions are against the session. In view of the fact that the State auditor has said that he will not issue war rants the case takes on a more serious aspect for the legislator. who finds himself at once up against the propo- sition of bringing quo warranto pro- ceedings to determine the right of the shows that the auditor doubts the le- gality of the propoesd session, after the proclamation revoking the call. In other words, there is the strong prob ability of the member coming in and serving, even should he be in earnest. and yet receive nothing for his ser vices, should the courts decide the session irregular. In addition to this, all of the laws passed would of course me invalid.
 But this is dependent upon what the decision of the court, in the last re- sort, might be. Of course, the auditor could withhold the warrants, simply on the ground that he doubted the regu- larity of the session. This would throw the matter into the courts. where, if the session should be decid-' ed as regular, the members would re- ceive their due compensation and all acts would be regularly regarded But that the matter will have to go to the court is the fact that has been es- abolished by the auditors position
 As to what would be done should a quorum not assemble Monday, provid- ed those attending should decide to meet in session, it is altogether un- likely that any effort woul be made to secure attendance on the part of other members, except through persu- asive measures. In the present cir cumstances it is admitted that any other measures would be out of the question.
 Meanwhile the pot continues to simmer"

Little Rock, Ark, May 16.-The pub lie and members of the Legislature are just now playing a waiting game to see what Monday will bring forth.
 The present indications are that there will be no session of the Legis- lature, since the public ill general and apparently about 90 per cent of the members are opposed to it.
 A number of members have ex- < pressed their intention of being, here Monday, but have declared that they necessary and burdensome. z Representative John c. Ross of Hot Spring county will be here, but he says that if an effort is made to con- vene he will be among the first to T move an adjournment.
 It is believed by many that the. ses- sion will go by default by reason of ' a majority of the Senate and possibly V the lower house declining to assemble < at the appointed hour.
 K This, it is pointed out, will be the session.
 .5 State Auditor Moore, who left for his home at Enders, Faulkner county yesterday morning, told a State officer just before his departure that he would return to Little Rock Monday morning ' to be on hand to prevent the issuance of any warrants whatever on vouchers for the expense of the extra session. He recognized. the revocation procla- nation by Governor Pindall and thinks that there is no legal call for ses- sion, and therefore will not honor any /, vouchers.
 Governor Pindall has been receiving many letters, telegrams and personal assurances from members that they will not respond to the call issued by MT. Hamiter, as they consider that Gov. Pindall's proclamation has re- scinded it.
 How Many Win Favor It.. E Aside from the absolute refusal of State Auditor Moore to issue warrants for vouchers incident to expenses aris- ing out of the proposed extra session, as contained in the statement of his po- sition above, there is nothing new in the legislative situation today. The question is simply how many will be in favor and how many against an extra session. All indications of any thing but an orderly course of action on the part of either faction have passed away.
 Governor Pindall and Speaker Hami- ter each claim that his position has been strengthened since yesterday and each is certain that his particular point will be carried. Governor Pin dall reported communicationaAfrom a number of senators and reDresenta tives stating that they will not attend and Speaker Hamiter states that he has received just as positive assurance from members that they will attend.
 Of course the crux of the situation lies in the legality of Governor Pin dall's action in revoking the call, and as prominent politician has observed, It is a pity there is not some stand ard of certainty to guide the legisla- torc S0 that they wOuld knOW nOSitiyn-
