 Little Rock, Jan. I2.-Special. For the first time in the history of Arkansas the senate and house opened for business on the second day. The senate showed up with full organization from president to page, due to the excellent organ ization Of the forces of President Jess M. Martin and Speaker F.

Milwee is entitled to the honors for the Brown organization. Both campaign generals are still in the city and will remain until after the committees of the two branch es have been named and the new governor, George w. Donaghey, is inaugurated.
 The inauguration of Governor Donaghey, who will take the oath of office before Chief Justice J. M. Hill, promises to be one of the greatest events of the kind ever held in Little Rock. Donaghey being a man who arouses enthusi' asm just at the mention of his name, has the greatest following ol any man ever entering the office oi the chief executive, and they will be here in numbers from all over the state to see him take the oath and listen to his inaugural address. The message will be delivered tc the branches of the general assem- bly in joint session. Senator X. O. Pindal!, who yesterday retired in favor of Jess M. Martin as act ing governor, will first deliver his final address to the legislature i'm mediately preceding the inaugu- ral address. With Governor Don aghey in the chair, Martin presid- ing over the senate, and Brown in the house, Arkansas has three ol the cleanest and straightforward men ever holding office in the state, and much is expected oi them in the present session ot the legislature.
 The full organization of the sen ate is as follows: President, Jess NJ. Martin; secretary, George H. Trevathan; assistant secretary, Frank Nelson; sergeant-at-arms, w. D. Redmond; Rev. w. B. Car lock; journal clerk, Bruce Gree
