L.,,." Rock AZ. July li For the
fin. time ln a number Of years the
Arka-sas supreme court today re-
ycr-"d Nself lt vas in the case OF
Mcconnell IS The Arkansas Brick
and Manufacturing Company decided
several years ago against Mcconnell
who vas acting for the state a.
superntend".t OF the peu.,eutiary.
IN reversing its position the su.
pr.me court frankly states chat i' re.
grn'. 20 take this action. but tha,
a majority ~ 'he members of the
count believe that doctrine 20 have
been erroneous and "untenable" and
tha, 10 should therefore bc reversed
t- speedily AS possible.
Where property rights are inyolv-
"d Boo court dic'um." says the opin.
on. "a reversal should rot bo made.
but as there is no question Of prop
e-'y involved So the present case.
and as s, regards the dignity Of the
state 20 be a matter az issue, the
court believes tho Mcconnell case
should bc reversed.
"ln the case noted n was held

This distinction is untcuable. The
tcntiary board Is the only agent
Of the state by which these convicts
may be- handled. and b. is the on ;.
agent authorized 20 make contracts
respecting the dispps ZION of the r1i.-

the Pon t"ntary board is an action
against the state. whore suit is

The duties of the pcnitcntiary
commissioners are not merely min.
4 isterial," says the court, nor was the
board trespassing upon property or
taking the property Of another when
II ordered the convicts removed.
Hence the action by the Arkansas

both sides. the bank boys offending most
in this respect.
From Gallaudets standpoint the pitch

were the features. while the fielding of
Boykin at short and Parham at second
counted most for the Trust Company's g
team The score.
