APPROPRIATIONS UNDER WAYI
Legislature Making Progress as
 Close of Session Ends.
Urging Passage of Logan Cap itol Bill.

Little Rock, April 23.-The gen eral assembly has gotten well along with appropriation bills, which makes the followers of the houses believe the legislature will actually adjourn May IT, as intend ed when the extension bill was passed. The blind school appro- priation bill was passed by the house yesterday afternoon, only a small drainage item, amounting to about S ,ooo, being cut out. The house also adopted the conference report on the general appropriation bill and 1t is now ready to receive the approval of the governor, so that the departments can begin drawing from the different funds. The house also approved the con- federate home, deaf mute institute and agricultural experimental sta ton appropriation bills yesterday.
 Vim of Pulaski, introduced bill in the afternoon session to tax railroads and all transportations companies one per cent of their revenue, with six per cent penalty for failure to pay the tax promptly. It is figured that the bill would produce a revenue of SIOo, 900 year, to be divided equally be- tween the general fund and the common school fund. Martin of Yell attempted to call up the pen itentiary bill which furnished the fireworks Wednesday, but he was unsuccessful and it went over un- til next week.
 The senate spent the most of the day discussing the Mckenzie soil survey bill and finally killed it by by vote of Y to I4. This bill was considered to be one of the most important of the session. It would have appropriated SIo, ,ooo

 CONSENT TO ACT

Little Rock, April 23.-Special. Accepting the appointment made ill the Patterson act providing that they shall act as arbitrators in set ting the differences between Cald- we'll & Drake, the discharged capi- tol contractors, and the state, as to the amount due them for work on the state capitol contract, Federal Judges Jarob Trieber of Little Rock and John H Rogers of Fort Smith met this afternoon with Chief Justice E. A. McCulloch of the state supreme court.
 The commissioners organized by electing Judge McCulloch as chair man of the board.
 Caldwell & Drake must now file their agreement to abide by the decision of the arbitrators be- fore any further action will be talk en by the commission.
 The action of the three judges today is the first intimation given out by them that the position of arbiters would be accepted by them.

should be disputed by the Cumber- land players. In the two preceding games between Cumberland and the Normal and Hendrix, Pence acted as umpire and none of his rulings were questioned. The state ment that Henderson players warned Cumberland against Pence is also heard with surprise, as Pence, assisted by Kirby, umpired all the Henderson series here and no Henderson player registered a kick over his work.
 The protested game is being considered by the State Athletic Association in Little Rock and the Normal team is confident that the final decision will be in their favor.
 MT. Pence this morning made an explanation of the circumstances under which the disputed decision was made. "At the beginning of the game," he said, both teams adopted the ground rule that run ner should take only one extra base on an overthrown ball to first base which went to the fence. In the case which occurred in the sixth inning, the ball was not thrown too high, but was muffed by Cowan, Cumberland's s first baseman, and did not roll to the fence. Cowan recovered the ball and threw to Basham too late to catch Piercey at home, while Basham threw wild to catch Piercey going to third !; the latter scoring. Cumberland then left the field, and, of course, my only possible course was, after tue legal time had elapsed, to award the game to the Normal. '"

 McCracken and Clerget Reply.
 MT. McCracken denied the alle- gations that the bill would result in voting a lower school tax and and also stated that ill supporting the Martinville district bill MT. Batson had spoken in anything but complimentary terms of the terri tory in Conway county affected. MT. McCracken stated that the same argument reversed would hold good in this case. MT. Clerget op- posed the motion and spoke in fa- vor of the bill. He declared that the Martinville district bill had taken twice as valuable territory from Conway county as the bill before the house would take out of Faulkner county. The motion to postpone was lost.

for the work. Senator Tucker gave notice after the bill was defeated, he would make an effort to have it reconsidered. The senate passed the Watson bill providing for an annual tax of SIo on automobiles.
 Keel Attacks Governor
 The senate wound up with the consideration of the Logan state capitol bill which provides for an appropriation of S375,oo to com plete the state capitol instead of the SS25, 900 as provided in the Old ham bill. Senator Keel spent over an hour in an eloquent appeal for the passage of the Logan bill and this speech is regarded as the classic of the session. He attacked Governor Donaghey for his course in the state capitol matter, but Governor Donaghey stated after the session that he had heard that so much it bothered him but little. The senate adjourned before reach ing a vote on the matter.
 Both houses will probably hold night sessions next week, and then until the end of the session.
 Batson Opposes Special District.
 Shortly after the house convened in the morning Mir. McCracker of Conway introduced house bill No. 465, providing for the attachment of a part of School District No. 35 in Faulkner county tc School Dis trict No. ST in Conway county. MT. Batson of Faulkner moved to indefinitely postpone further con- sideration of the bill. He spoke in favor of his motion, declaring that the petitions endorsing the bill were from Conway county and not Faulkner county people, that the bill would result in voting a lower school tax in the locality affected and that the bill was in retaliation for his bill providing for adding

Arkansan Making Good.

Little Rock, April 23.-Patrick Folbre, the Forrest City boy, is certainly making good in the Southern league this year, he pitching another winning game Mobile yesterday, his second vic tory of the season, and he is yet to taste defeat. Folbre struck out 5, gave no bases on balls nor hit batsman, and allowed but seven scattered hits. Little Rock won the game 4 to o, breaking its losing streak. Little Rock only made hits, but they were timely.

CUMBERLAND PROTESTS GAME
Claim Fences Decisions In Nor
 nal Game Unfair.
Ask State Athletic Association to Reverse Ruling which Caused Visitors to
 Quit the Field.

The Cumberland College base ball team of Clarksville has filed a protest with the State Athletic Association asking that the decision of Umpire Hugh Pence in the State Normal game Wednesday, forfeit ing the game to the Normal, be reversed. In letter published in the Gazette this morning, the team states its case as follows:
 "Clarksville, April 22, 1909. Sporting Editor Gazette:
 "We quit the game at Conway because we could no longer stand tn , deal that Pence was giving us as umpire. We refused to go in the game with him as umpire, but we were forced to take him or not play the game. We had been told he was unfair by Henderson Col lege men who had played at Con- way lately. Hence we objected to him.
 "Mr. Kirby, who went in to as sist him umpiring, did not quit the game because he was disgusted at the Cumberland players, and no fai- man will say so. If MT. Kirby will say he quit because of our ac- tions we will give the Normals the game. We have filed our protest with the Athletic Association and believe they will give us the game. We had the game 6 to I in the sixth inning when Fences decision on ground rules allowed the Nor nal to score two runs. The Nor nal is not entitled to this game and if the association makes us play it over, we will demonstrate the truthfulness of this statement beyond the question of doubt.
