enough that mans hand can be
easily placed in it. DR.. Powell IS

HAPPY OVER ENDOWMENT
Friends of Hendrix College Now Confident
that 5000, 900 Will be Raised

Little Rock, Feb. I6.-Special.-
Happy in the thought that the en-
dowment fund of Hendrix College
had been increased $4,000 by a
donation on the part of the Gener-
al Educational Board of New York,
Pres. Stonewall Anderson left last
night for his home. Capt. w. w.
Martin, one of the chief patrons of
the college, and who has made
large donations to the school, ac-
companied him and shared in the
ioy. The donation was yesterday
made by DR.. Wallace Buttrick of
the General Educational Board OF
New York, who spent the day in
the city, the most of the time IN
the office of Governor Donaghey,
who himself has been one of the
leading subscribers to Conway in
stitutions. DR.. Buttrick agreed
that the Educational Board would
give to Hendrix College SIS, 900
toward the $500, 900 end owment
fund, if the financial agent of the
college would have the full $500, 900
raised by March 1, 1910, and be
collected by March /, 1914. The
financial agent, Rev. James Thom-
as, reported that he had already
raised over $Ioo, 900 and it would
be an easy matter for him to raise
the entire balance in less than IS
months, so the papers were signeo
before the president of the college
left in the evening.

OFFERS HENDRIX
GIFT OF $4,000
TENDERS HANDSOME DONATION
On Condition Total Endowment of
100000 is Raised.
Munifcent Proposition from DR.. Buttrick
of General Education Board
Likely to be Accepted.

Martin, president of the board of
trustees, and DR.. James Thomas,
commissioner of education of Hen
dirk College, in this city this morn
ing, DR.. Wallace Buttrick, secfe-
tary of the General Education
Board, offered to donate for the
board SIS, 900 to Hendrix College,

raised to meet the conditions of
the gift. DR.. James Thomas
stated this morning that he had
already been making a vigorous

The campaign now being con-
Quoted for the endowment is ex-

SIXTH WEEK OF THE SESSION
State House Controversy to Oc-
cupy Both Houses this Week.
House Has Same Old Carpet on Floor after
Expensive Adjournment to Re-
move 1t.

Little Rock, Feb. I5.-Special.
Five weeks have the Legislators
labored and today they started on
the sixth with the Caldwell &
Drake controversy still the moot
ed question. Just how much time
will be spent on this during the
coming week will depend upon
how many times it is allowed to
drop. 1t is expected to be the sole
topic of the week, with the excep-
ton of the Greaves- Sumpter dis
pute, which is today being aired in
the senate.
The screen bill will be repealed
this week if its opponents can mus
ter up the required strength, like
wise the semi monthly payday.
The past week was almost void OF
production, and the present week
is not expected to see much trans
pire other than the Caldwell &
Drake dispute and reports of COM
mittees upon various subjects. The
legislature is almost a unit in the
declaration that the session cam
not be completed in the time al
lowed under the law, and there
will have to be an extension OF
time for at least 100 days.
Old Carpet Remains.
And still the house must worry
with the old germ-spreading carpet
which has been on the floor of that
portion of the state house for the
past decade. The carpet is now
Just as it was last week, and as it
will be until a new one is purch-
ased. The house spent the great
er part of Friday morning discuss
ing whether or not a new carpet
should be purchased. 1t costs
$1,000 a day to run the house, thus
$500 of the states time was con-
sumed in talking on SIS carpet.
1t was finally decided to adjourn
until Monday to allow the janitors
to take up the ola carpet ana rlu II
of the dirt
The janitors went to work on
the old carpet Friday afternoon
and after a brief parley, decided
that if it came up there would not
be enough puzzleworkers in Little
Rock to tell where the pieces be-
longed. The floor was then swept
and the carpet left where it was,
and the state lost two days that the
Legislators might have consumed
in discussing local legislation OF
the Caldwell & Drake affairs, a
clear. loss to the state OF s. 900, all
because the old carpet was not re-
placed by a new one before the
opening of the session.
