Hal block: Nearly every one has one
room, and into this you cram nearly
all your worldly possessions and learn
all kinds Of vanishing tricks and Jug
Cling feats, such as having combina-'
ton bed and piano, using your wash
ing stand for your writing table and
converting your hip bath by day with
rigs and cushions into an, armchair.
In this abode Of bliss you receive your
friends, male and female, and, II the
gentleman, sitting himself rashly on
the bed-sofa, vanishes into the plano
or the lady throws herself YEARLY into
the hip bath armchair. and 1t falls on
the packing case with her inside It,
no one will turn hair. You will in
wife them to lunch or tea or dinner,
which ever is approaching, and the
gentleman Will offer to 60 and buy
chops or kippers and fetch the milk
and when he returns will help you
cook, and you'll cit together and eat
I It on the washing stand, which also
does duty as dinner table on such
occasions. London Standard. t Il.

House Bill No 39G, by Mir. Warnock. the bill recommended by the joint penltentiarN committee for changing , the method of penitentiary manage ment, was called up for the consider atlon or some amendments, especially an amendment offered making it up lawful to hire convicts out for n ner- iod longer than a year Or for loss than $l per day. This was objected to, as was the whole bill, by Mir. Du- l-aney, who declared that the measure IS failure as a legal proposition, and that its enactment would do the in- stitution harm rather than good. He said that the judiciary committee had never agreed on the proposition. and that several of the members had op- posed it. It should have been q cam paiSn issue. said Mr. DuLaney, so that the legislators could have told th" people what they were going to do on the matter. He opposed tho placing oi limit on the matter of hiring out the conyicts. Under the present administration, with the par d"nln% custom curtailed, there will be decided increase in the number of conNlctS. said Mir. DuLancy. which may even reach 1,200. These would have to be supported and the method of support should not be cut off bv ill advised restrictions, he said
 He was, also opposed to the estab- lishment of additional boards tor ad- d1tlonal gubernatoria appointments According to his calculation, he said. the governor in his inaugural mes sage had asked for the appointment of fifty-four men on commissions of Varlous kinds and he opposed any further extension of this privilege He declared that he would never accede to proposition to take such men as Norwood off the board to be replaced by appointees.
 Mir. Martin said he did not care
 
 about going into the merits of the bill but that he knew the various oHi- cials were hurdened with heavy du- ties and that this board would give them relief. He also 1t iieved that t would take the board out of politics. The discussion dlilttd ;n to the re- port of the subcommittee e tue joint committee on penitent al'y, which. it was stated, would Ee made later in the session, and which. ii was also stated, did not contain anything of Il sensational nature
 The motion to postpone was with drawn and the natter finally went over until next Wednesday.

J. [. CAVANAUCH
 ASKS FOR LESS
Amended Complaint of Former Pine Bluffian Filed in Federal Court Asks Only $2l,S5O.

Little Rock, April 17.--Before Judge Trieber yesterday morning motion was argued to have the complaint of J. D. Cavanagh ys. Winn $. Harris ct al. made more specific and the pe- titiou of the attorneys for the defend ants was granted. Yesterday after noon the attorneys for Cavanagh filed their amended complaint, going spe- officially into the game in which Cav anagh is alleged to have lost h;s money to the alleged fake wrestlers in New Orleans There is a notice able change ill the second complaint, however, in that instead of $37,000 claimed by Cavanagh in the first suit he only asks for $24,S50 in the sub stituted bill. The latter amount is the sum shown by the books of the alleged syndicate. which were cap tured here, as the amount taken from Cavanagh. Cavanagh has evidence to show that he drew the $37.0o0 from banks in New Orleans at the time he is alleged to have been feeced.
 The amended complailt shows how Cavanagh is alleged to have been de- coyed into the wrestling bout and how the money was wagered and the distribution of it. Cavanagh claims that he put up $7,S5O at one time and $17,000 at another.

PEN MANAGEMENT CAUSES WRANCLE DuLaney Characterizes the Joint Committee Meas

LOCAL BILLS DEBATED
Goal Hill Passenger Service and Lit. tie Rock Improvement Dis
 trict Come Up.

Little Rock. April 17.-The business 'of the house this morning was inter- esting and spr& although the consid- eration of local bills was the order after 10 o'clock Three noax.lrcs caused considefabl" discussion the bill to require the Iron Mountain to run all it's passenger trains on the Fort Smith branch by Coal Hill. be-
 ing a local measuret calling out t sharp debate between Messrs. Hogan
 of Franklin county, and Kendall. of Johnson county This is matter that
 has figured ill the legislature before
 and although it affects only two or three localities. has always been the source of sharp contention The bill requiring the change of service from the present schedule was finally de- feated.
 Consideration of the penitentiars bill. to change the method in the man. agement of the penitentiary. by the creation of a board appointed by the governor, also preciptated fight when called up for the consideration of some pending amendments Mr. DuLaney opposed the measure very ernphatically characterizing it as l legal abortion" and wanted to post pone it's consideration indefinitely Later he withdrew this motion and the bill was made a special order for next Wednes sday.
 The matter calling out the hottest discussion, however. was measure introduced by MT. Leigh, of Pulaski. providing for the creation of an i'm provement district of the city of Lit tie Rock and Argenta, to provide d fund of $250,000 to meet the require ments of the proposed bill for the re- moval of the State University to Little Rock. MT. Hurst opposed the reading of the bill, contending that it was not a local measure. Mir. Leigh insisted
 that it was ;that it merely provided for the creation of an improvement district for the purpose of raising a fund of s250,000, and was no more general than bill for any other in- provement district. Mr. Hurst replied l that it affected the removal of the State University, and thus affected the 1 whole state. The bill was finally al l lowed to be read, but the motion to
 suspend the rules and have the bill
 read second time was lost.
 The house then took up House Bill
 No. 217. by MT. Collins, providing for
 fixing the salary of members of the
 legislature at $1,000 per year. An
 amendment was offered providing that
 members failing to attend the sessions
 of the legislature should forfeit their
 per diem. and was adopted. Other
 amendments to reduce the salary to
 425o and $350 per year were lost. Mir. Davis, of Desha, explained that un-
 der the operation of this bill, if en-
 acted into law, extra sessions of the
 Legislature could be held without ex-
 tra cost, as the members would be on
 salary. He also insisted that there
 would be no freak or frivolous legis-
 lation. An effort was made to get the ] bill made special order for Wednes-
 day. but lost.

IS COMPROMISE RATE
Iron Mountain Has Made No An. n"unccmcnt of It's Course in

Little Rock. April l1-On May l, 1909. the Rock island Railway will install q straight ; l-2 cent passenger fare on all it's lines in Arkansas. This announcement was deniteiv made by the local attorney of the road this morning. pursuant to a telegram from President E. l.. Winchell of that road
 The new rate in Arkansas is made eighteen roads of Missouri, by which they have agreed 10 install d 21-2 cent rate in that state on all roads, as compromise between the ? cent fare, which has been IeId illegal and the , cent fare, which has been enjoined
 The Burlington assumed the lead in this matter in Missouri in announc. ing the new rate. followed immediate ly by the Rock Island and the other roads of the state4 The Rock Island also announced that the rate would be extended to Arkansas lines. effect i've May l.
 Is Compromise Rate.
 It has been understood for several months that a compromise rate of ? l2 cents, would be agreed 10 by the railroads of Arkansas. Recently in the Arkansas senate Senator Mont gomery introduced q bill making 2 1-2 cents the legal passenger rate in this state. The bill was read twice and referred to committed, and at the time it was stated the railways of the state would agree to the rate and would likely not combat it in the courts.
 The railways, it was stated, agreed that straight l-2 cent rate was more rcmuaerat,ve than a 3 cent rate with the usual excursion rates and concessions upon this basis.
 Since Septembor 3, 1908, the date on which the circuit court of the United States for the Eastern District of Ar kansas granted a temporary injunc- tion against the 2 cent rate the rail- ways of Arkansas have been charg- ing cents. per mile and issuing re- bate slips contingent upon the disso- lution of the temporary injunction, in l which event they agree to refund to the purchaser the difference in the two rates.
 This class of tickets in selling has entailed great hardship upon the ticket agents of the state, as every 1 purchaser of ticket is required to give his name and be registered upon the ticket records for future reference l in case the injunction was dissolved and the railways compelled to refund to the purchaser l cent mile upon every ticket purchased
 Under the present arrangement 1t is believed the Rock Island will be compelled to continue the issuance of l the contingent relate slips based upon the , 12 cent rate instead of the 3 1 cent rate now in vogue.
 Rock Island Takes Lead.
 The Rock Island in the reduction of the rate ill Arkansas has assumed the lead in the matter. At the local ticket office of the Iron Mountain this morn ing it was stated that nothing had been heard from the officials of that | road relatives to a reduction of the rate.
 1t is the general public opinion. however, that the Iron Mountain will be compelled to follow the lead of the Rock Island, as the two lines are in almost direct competition throughout
