QUICK WORK BY LEGISLATURE
Brinkley Relief Fund Now Be-
ing Drawn Upon.
Maintenance of Militia in Storm Stricken
Town is Expensive Proposition to
Monroe County.

Little Rock, March Especial
Quick was done on the Holland
Rasco senate bill No. al, the bill
appropriating $40, 900 for the relief
of the Brinkley, and other ~yclone
sufferers of the state. as suggested
in the special message to the SER
ate "Wednesday of Governor Dona-
ghey. Soon after the special mes
sage was read the bill was intro
duced, read twice and passed by
the senate Thursday. 1t was read
twice in the house Thursday and
passed Friday, as soon as it could
be under the law, and Friday after
noon it was signed by Governor
Donaghey and the fund immediate
ly became available, vouchers be-
ing drawn upon it before night.
All vouchers drawn upon the fund
must first be approved by the gov
ernor.
Considerable of the money will
Immediately be expended in pur-
chasing materials with which to
rebuild houses in Brinkley for the
needy, though other sections of the
state which suffered from the
cyclone, will also be attended to.
The bill was sent to Governor
Donaghey yesterday aftern on by
his request, instead of waiting I'M
til today as is customary. in order
that he might sign it and aid the
suffering ones.
Militia is Expensive.
Keeping peace in Brinkley, and
protecting the scattered property
of the cyclone victims there is an
expensive proposition for Monroe
county, but the present force Of
the Arkansas State Militia will be
maintained until normal conditions
return. Attorney General Nor
wood has construed the laws of the
state to be that Monroe county
must pay for the militia, as was
the Interpretation of the law by
the militia authorities. With the
present force of guardsmen, the
county of Monroe incurs an ex-
pense of $500 daily.
There may be later an act intro.
duced which will permit the ap.
preparation Of a sum by the state
sufficient to pay the militia, but
the law will not be changed, as it
prevents the authorities of he va
rious counties from calling out the
militia for trivial cases, by saddling
the cost of the militia upon the
county calling for them.

BRINKLEY'S
NEEDS PRESSED
COMMITTEE PUBLISHES APPEAL
Loss Placed at More Than a Mil
lion Dollars.
While Tornado Insurance is Only $1,000
Legislature to Exempt Brinkley
From Taxation.
FROM FRIDAYS DAILY.

The finance committee of the
Brinkley relief association, says
this mornings Gazette, headed
by Congressman Joe 7. Robinson
of Lonoke, was in Little Rock
last night, and while here prepar-
ed an appeal for relief for the sui
ferers at Brinkley, which was sent
broadcast over the entire country
from the Gazette Office over tie
wires of the Associated Press.
The appeal states that the proper
ty loss will amount to more than
81 900, 900, and that with the ex-
ception of So, 900 tornado insur-
ance the loss is total.
Today Senator Rasco will intro
duce bill in the senate providing
that the property owners and cltl-
zens of Brinkley be exempted from
taxation for the next year. This
will be introduced at the instiga-
ton of the committee. The bill
appropriates 5000 for the relief
of the sufferers, which has already
passed the senate, and which was
read twice in the house yesterday,
will be taken up this morning, as
it was made a special order of
business for this morning, and, be-
yond doubt, will be passed.
The committee is straining every
nerve to raise all the funds possible
for the relief of the Brinkley people.
The committee is composed of J..
S. Thomas, a prominent lawyer
and banker at Clarendon, and who,
for eight years, was circuit judge
of the Seventeenth judicial circuit,
Eugene Williams, a banker at
Forrest City, and Congressman Joe
7. Robinson. All were here last
night.
The Committees Appeal.
The appeal issued follows:
March II, 1909.
"To the General Public:
"The town of Brinkley, Ark,
was totally destroyed by tornado
on March s. The undersigned E,
none of whom reside in Brinkley,
have viewed the desolation and
ruin which were occasioned there.
No language can adequately de-
scribe the condition that now pre-
walls. Every building in the city
has been either totally or partially
destroyed. Thirty two bodies have
been recovered and it is thought
that many more will be found
among the ruins still unexplored.
More than 200 injured have been
treated at the emergency hospital,
and scores elsewhere. Practical
ly all furniture clothing and food
supplies were destroyed. The suf-
fering from hunger and exr osure
is indescribable. All chimneys
and fues have been demolished
and it is impossible to either
shelter or provide necessaries for
the j 900 inhabitants of Brlnkley
who have been made homeless with
out the immediate repair and con-
struction of buildings suitably
equipped, To do this great
quantity of wreckage must be
speedily removed many laborers
employed and vast quantity OF
building material, hardware, etc.
is required. 1t is manifest that a
liberal sum of money is needed to
meet these urgent demands. The
property loss will exceed $1,000,
900, and with the exception of
Sc, 900 tornado insurance, the loss
is total. Those citizens OF Brink
ley to whom were spared frag-
ments of their property have with
unparalleled generosity shared the

CONWAY Gets
BIC CONVENTION

Fort Smith, March II.-Special.,
After a battle royal, in which
Delegate R. B. McCulloch covered
himself with glory in great ora
torical effort, Conway was this af-
ternoon Selectedas the next meet
ing place for the state convention
of the Woodmen of the World and
Woodman Circle of Arkansas.
Although Pine Bluff Little Rock
and several other places made
strong bids for the meeting, Con-
way was an easy winner, receiving
almost so per cent of the vote cast.
Tie next state meeting OF the
Woodmen will be held in the sec
ond week in March, 1911, the ses-
sions being held only every two
years. Nearly 500 delegates are
in attendance at the present meet
ing at Fl. Smith and, as Conway
is so much more centrally located,
fully 1000 will doubtless attend the
the next meeting. Conway, how
ever, IS amply able to care for that
number, having entertained the
Baptist state convention with an
attendance of about 1900 several
years ago.

COMING TO BRIKKLEYS AID
People are Striving to Assist
Storm-Stricken City.
Adiutant General Bullion in Charge of Re-
lief Corps-Senate Passes APP
Precipitation.

Little Rock, March II.-Special.
People generally over the state
are today striving to see how much
assistance they can render to the
stricken town to Brinkley and to-
day the railroads, which have
been doing their utmost to assist
the sufferers, are rushing car after
car of building materials and other
supplies to Brinkley.
Adiutant General Bruce 7. Bul
lion, with additional tents and
blankets, went to Brinkley last
night and is today III command OF
the troops there. He called out
20 additional men from McCrory
and will remain until the citizens
can take care of the town them
selves.
The senate this morning passed
the $1,000 appropriation bill. for
cyclone relief, and it was read
twice in the house aud will be
passed there tomorrow. Govern
or Donaghey will sign it before
evening SO the fund will be avail
able at once to the sufferers.
The railroad officials report the
people are hearkening to the re-
quest from Mayor Jackson that
they remain away for several days
until supplies become more plenti-
full. and not have what is sent in
for the sufferers eaten up by the
sightseers.

Brinkley, March IL Late yes
terday afternoon Mayor I. H.
Jackson issued an official state
ment of the disaster at Brinkley.
He said that the number of dead
bodies recovered from the wreck
age was IS, and that over 200 were
more or less seriously injured.
Not home or business house in
the city escaped without damage.
The entire business district, he
says, was destroyed, only three
building left standing.
'In response to many offers OF
assistance l would suggest, " says
Mayor Jackson, for immediate
temporary relief, furniture, some
bedding, blankets, tarpa ulins,
shingles and other roofing material
be sent US. The latter is in urgent
demand because there is not dry
roof in the city to protect the
wounded and homeless. In the
way of permanent relief, l would
say that the greatest benefit could
be done our unfortunate people by
shipments of building materials,
such as lumber, shingles, roofing,
brick, sand, etc.
Both the Rock Island and Cot
ton Belt railroads have agreed to
bring 20 our relief all consignments
of this or any other nature free of
charge. An executive committee
is in charge of affairs to supervise
the distribution Of donations. y
A peculiarly unfortunate feature
of the Brinkley disaster IS that only
one merchant carried tornado in
surance, the balance OF the proper
ty being unprotected. This mer-
chant, by the way, was practically
unchanged by the storm.
The assessed valuation of the
real estate in Brinkley is $500 900,
the basis, it is said, being 40 per
cent, representing an aggregate
valuation of at least 500, 900.
Conservative estimates are thal the
property has been damaged at
least 90 per cent, which would rep
resent a loss by the storm of APP
proXimately $500, 900.
Bury Tornado Victims.
Brinkley, March 1.-THE fun
erals of some of the victims of
Monday nights tornado which de-
vastated this town and killed near
ly fifty people in various parts of
the state, will be held here this
afternoon.
The bodies were brought back
last night from Forrest City, where
they were sent the morning after
the cyclone for embalming and
collins, the only undertaking shop
here having been destroyed.
