PENITENTlARY
 BOARD STANDSPAT
Despite Injunction Secured by Contrac- tors Convicts Are Kept in Prison Governor in Position to Pro-
 tect Board Members.


 l Little Rock, Jan. l5.--The new penitentiary board, composed of three new state officers, Governor Donaghey, State Auditor lobe and Attorney General Norwood, and two old ones, State Commits sioner of Agriculture Tucker and Secretary of State Ludwig, met yesterday afternoon, recalled the convicts leased to the Arkansas Brick and Manufacturing Com pany by the state and reelected John Pitcock superintendent and John H. Page secretary.
 Following the action of the board in rec calling the couvicts and just as the board adjourned, it was learned that the Arkansas Brick and Manr- featuring Company lad applied for an injunction against the per- itentiary board, restraining il from recalling the convicts. Chancellor Martineau granted a temporary injunction.
 Conviets Will Not Work Today.
 In spite of the temporary in- junction, it was stated las. night that the convicts would not be worked today al the orickyard of the Arkansas Brick and Mauufac. turing Company, at the rock crusher near the city, or on the construction work near Hagen or near Fl Dorado, at which places convicts worked under contract yesterday. It is argued by sup por,ers oI the penitentiary board that the convicts are at all times under control of the state because the state feeds, guards and clothes them. The couvicts at work al the brickyard are housed in the new penitentiary each night, and this morning, unless there is some change in the boards plan, they will remain in the prison Instead of being taken to the brickyard to labor. The prison CTS employed on railroad construc-
 ion work will remain in the pris- on cars if they are not brought to the city, and the prisoners at the rock crusher will probably be transferred from tue stockade there 10 the new penitentiary. 1 IL is argued that this procedure will not be in violation of the iu- junction, and that the brick com pany will be forced to make the next move, which will be in the nature of mandamus proceedings to compel the penitentlary board to order the couvicts worked on the various contracts.
 Board Members Are Secure. l One man, whose judgment is considered good and whose iufor- nation is usually authentic, stat. ed that If the members of the board and the superintendent of the peniteutiary violate the iu- junction and are hauled up fer contempt, the governor could, if he desired, and he would prob ably so desire, remove by pardon any punishment imposed.
 The meeting of the peniteuti- iry board yesterday was a tilt from start to finish between the lew members of the board and he old. The new members stuck
 ogether on every matter discuss d, while the minority, in nearly svery case, opposed them. Poli- icians and those closely associat- d with the board believe that the lines drawn at the board meeting yesterday afternoon are significant. In the last board MeSSrs. Ludwig and Tucker and Acting Governor Pindall gener- 'lly agreed as to questions aris. ing, and therefore had a majority.
