he had changed his views after consulting with the governor. He said the governor had pointed out that the city of Conway had put up elegant buildings for the school without cost to the state, and that on that account the town is worthy of favorable consideration at the hands of the legislature. He said the governor advanced the opinion that if the revenue laws of the state are revised to embrace the tax commission idea, the deficit in the general fund of the state will soon be thing of the past. Senators Toney and Keel favored the reten- ton of the forty thousand dollar item.
 Representative Simmons intro duced yesterday afternoon a bill appropriating an unexpended bal ance of S2I6o of the amount appro- priated two years ago for the main tenance of the Normal. As no ap- propriation can be made for long CT period than two years, the amount appropriated by the last general assembly would otherwise revert to the general fund on May I4.
 President Doyne Not Displeased.
 President J. J. Doyne, while disappointed over he fact that the new dormitory building was sacri- feed and other needed appropria- tions cut, takes an optimistic view of the action of the senate on the State Normal appropriation bill yesterday. "The board of trus- tees, in preparing their budget, " he said, "of course asked for noth- ing more than was needed for the school. The dormitory building, while it would have been a splen did acquisition, is not, however, an absolute necessity at this time. Before the school opened last Sep tember a canvass of the town de veloped the fact that there are ac- commodations in the private homes for more than 500 students, and the difficulty when the school be-

ATTORNEY GENERALS LAMENT
Says Peoples Queries Would
 Keep Him Busy.
No Time Would be Left for Duties of Office 1T all Inquiries Were
 Answered.

Little Rock, April 2I.-"Had I nothing else to do but answer let ters, l would be busy from morn- ing to night" is the lament of Attorney General Hal l.. Norwood, without touching for single in- stant the work which the state is paying me to do. If I refuse to give the information sought by the writers I offend someone, and if I take the time to look up their trivial matters, I cost the state much for looking after the interests of private individuals. If I was practicing law and received a fee for every inquiry which comes in here, would be rich in a year. I get letters from three or four peo- pie in the same town relative to the same question. This shows they have an argument on the question and have taken sides and want me to referee the dispute. It takes much time to answer all these letters, and the state is profit ed none i'll the end.
 "I wish the people of the state would realize the office of the at- torney general is for the sole use of the state and county officials, !" he continued, land in no case is an opinion expected for the pri- vate citizen or the minor county official.

 In discussing the elimination of the dormitory building, Senator Wingo gave 1t as his opinion that the building should be erected. He said it was true that the school could get along without the dor mitory for the girls, but that he really thought the building should be erected.
 Senators Mcknight, Yopp and Arnold favored the amendment on the ground that the state treasury is not ill condition at this time to warrant expenditures that are not absolutely necessary. Senator Simms said that while he was op- posed to the building of the dormi- tory when it was first suggested,

Of JACKIES' HEALTH
Inaugural Day Story Illus
trateS Phase of AdmiralS
Character.

They are telling a story about Admiral
Sperry up at the Capitol that illustrates
the admiraPs fondness for his men and
forethOught for their welfare The COM
mander of the battIeship fleet was in
Washington on the day Of the inau-
gural, in command Of the force of
1900 jackies who came to take part In
the parade.
Admiral Sperry went to the Capitol
early and had about an hour to wait
before he went to the Senate chamber
to watch, in his official capacity, the
swearing in OF the President and Vice
President He wandered around to the
office of the sergeant-at-arms and I'D
geted about, looking out Of the window
most Of the time, watching the blizzard
in full swing. Some one remarked that
he seemed tired of waiting and restless.
YES said the commander of the
battleship feet. i've got 1900 of my
boys here and they've got to get out in
that storm and march I'm afraid lot
of them Will be sick and some of them
die as the result of it 1t worries me.
I'm awfully sorry that they have 10 be
exposed in weather like this"
Admiral Sperry didn't say it. but his
nearer got the impression that If the
man who took the battleShip fleet most
of the way around the world had his
way there would either be no parade or
at least no seaman from his fleet In the
line OF march.

BADGERS MAY BREAK
SENATE TRADITIONS
Doubtful If La Toilette VIII Escort Stephenson to Chan
to Be Sworn in--Old Customs Occa-
sionaly Violated.

About the corridors Of the Senate
wing Of the Capitol there is wonder
whether Robert Marion La Toilette and
Isaac Stephenson are going to walk
arm in arm down the middle aisle Of
the Senate chamber March 10. the date
when the latter will be sworn In Tt will
lend a piquant interest to the Senate
proceedings If Fighting Bob and
Uncle Ike do march UP to the Vice
Presidents desk together; II will lend
a more piquant interest If they do not,
When Senator StephensOn's original
credentials arrived, based on the separ-
ate votes Of the two houses of the Wis
COnsin Legislature, Senator La Toilette
refused to present them unless he &C
companied' the presentation with p.
statement OF his position, which was IN
opposition to the credentials being fled
at that time. Senator Nelson was then
prevailed on to present the credentials.
With charges against Senator Stephen
son pending at Madison, 1t is thought
doubtful whether Senator La Toilette
VIII forego his opposition to Uncle
Ike" long enough to escort him down
the aisle TO take the oath.
Spooner Followed Custom.
Nearly every year, some unhappy
complications arise in connection with
that Senate tradition that expects the
Senator from a State to escort to the
desk his colleague from the same State
for the purpose of having the oath adj
ministered. When Senator La Toilette
himself entered the Senate, there was
much speculation whether Senator John
&. Spooner would escheW his bitterness
against Fighting Bob lOLg enough to
accompany him TO the desk Of the pre-
siding officer.
