TO RECEIVE 62 PER CENT
Confederate Pensioners to Get
 Less Than Last Year.
Fund Amounting to $462 ,ooo will be Dis tributed to Veterans
 This Week

Little Rock, Sept. 8. 8.-Confeder- ate pensioners in Arkansas will this year receive 62 per cent of the amount allowed them by the state pension board. This was defn- itely determined yesterday after noon by Auditor John R. lobe, who totaled the amounts received from the counties of the state for the pension fund and then com pared it with the appropriation of the legislature.
 Only one county Lad not paid in the tax, Monroe county, which was given additional time in which to settle oil account of the Brink ley cyclone. It was decided to make the distribution without waiting On this county, which would not materially increase the percentage, and which will be added next year. The amount paid in by Monroe county last year amounted to about Sc, ,ooo.
 The pensioners will this year receive about S462 32e S2. The appropriation was considerably larger than that. being about S65o, 900, but no more can be paid out than is collected and the amount to be distributed is just 62 per cent of the appropriation. This is 5 per cent less than last year, when 67 was paid to the pensioners. The cause for this is the increased number of pensioners and the de crease in the amount of tax col lected. Last year S466, 48S was paid out to about s, 200 pensioners. This year there are about s, ,7oc pensioners and over S4 GOO less money,
 There will be about 5000 left in the fund, but corrections which are always to be made, will eat this up. The fund will now be apportioned among the counties and distributed before the end o1 the week.

 After the dissolution of the receivers restrai Il ng ord CT, Gibbs, who is a wealthy negro, conveyed all of his property to a newly organized concern, which was supposed to have been organ ized for that pu4 pose. The consid- eration in the transfer was $50, ,ooo and the properly was further safe guarded by the placing of S5o,- 900 mortgage upon it by the com pany. Gibb has now left the state and is making his home in Wash ington, D. C., where he has a fine residence. About $50, 900 of the claims against the bank held by depositors have been bought up by Gibb or his ,ents at so cents on the dollar and it is said he is still offering that amount for all brought to his agents.

In his message he stated that he would reach Chateau Bay on Sept. 7, and asked that arrange ments be made to transmit the story of his great discovery, but up to noon today nothing further had been heard from him. The de- tails of his discovery, following so closely upon the announcement of Dr. Frederick A. Cooks finding the pole April 2I last year, are awaited with great interest.

NOTHING FOR DEPOSITORS

 Not Get One Tenth.
Only $4 ,ooo is in the Receivers Hands to Meet Claims of About
 $75,ooo.

Little Rock, Sept. That creditors of the Capitol City Sav- ings Bank, the negro institution which collapsed here a little over a.year ago, will be lucky if they get more than 10 per cent of their claims, 1t is the statement of Mar vim Harris, the receiver of the in- stitution. He says the liabilities amount to about S75, 900 and he has collected about S4,ooo which will be increased about S, ,ooo, by the sale of the interest of Charles B. King, the cashier of the defunct institution, and his brother in the estate of P. King, which was turned over to the re- ceiver after the failure. There are number of claims held by the receiver on notes and other obli- gations which have been through the lower courts with a judgment for the receiver and which have been appealed to circuit court, These will bring approximately SI ,ooo more, but 1t will be next spring before they can go through the higher court.
 The receiver thought he would be able to pay all of the liabilities, but the supreme court ill it's decis- ion several months ago. which it dissolved the injunction preventing M. w. Gibb, the president of the institution, from selling his prop erty, removed the possibility of the receiver collecting a sum sufficient to make up the deficiency from him. The court at the same time
