ENGINEERS REPORT
 AGAINST DOU; , i,
Little Rock Office Says No Improve. ments Are Necessary on Arkansas River at That Point.

Washington, D. C., April 7.-The engineers office of the army at Little Rock has reported the results of its preliminary examination of the banks of the Arkansas river at Douglas, un- der the act approved March 3, 1909, to the effect that no improvement in that vicinity is, necessary in the in- terest of navigation.
 Congressman Joe T. Robinson, who secured the appropriation, stated to- day that he contemplated appearing before the board of engineers for rivers and harbors, now in session here, and presenting the matter for their consideration, in the hope that a different view of the subject may prevail.
 It will be practically impossible to secure an appropriation from the fed eral government to protect the banks there if the board of engineers takes ths same view as that expressed in the report of the engineers office

BUSINESS LOOKING UP.

According to Banker Henry CIews of New York. business Is looking up all over the country. Mr. Clews says that reports from various parts of the country are also more encouraging, and suggest moderate revival in in many cases orders have been hel back owing to various uncertainties, and that shelves in consequence have become more or less bare of stock The result is an accumulation of or ders, which necessarily affords signs of improved activity. A glance at clearing house returns In leading cities of the United States last week shows that bank clearings were more than II per cent in excess of a year ago, the gain being we'll distributed In all sections of the country. In the previous week the increase In clear ings was 17 per cent every section of the country participating in the i'm provement It is also worthy of note that the gross clearings in the third week of March were considerably larger than in any of the three pre- ceding years; even in 1906 when spec
 ulation was so much more active than now. Railroad earnings also making more gratifying reports. forty-flve roads In the second week of March showing gain of nearly per cent over year ago, while for

KERWIN LINES UP
 WITH THE GOVERNOR
State Capitol Bill Discussed and Jef- ferson County Representative Was There Among the Others "A.Fight' ing.

Judge E. J. Kerwin, of this city showed his colors for Governor Don- aghey yesterday when he discussed one of the capitol bills, which was brought before the house. Of his re- marks the Little Rock Gazette says:
 Mir Kerwin then spoke against the bill, which he declared had been
 "adroitly and cunningly drawn by some smart lawyer not employed by the state." He stated that the four old commissioners on the commission would appoint the man to superintend the construction of the building that Caldwell & Drake would want. At that point he was corrected and in- formed that the amendment adopted provided that the governor appoint the superintendent of construction. MT. kerw.n then referred to the court record of the dealingss with Caldwell & Drake with the legislature and de- NAo1 GU tuaI Cuc ACNO1o OA tuc \uPl CHIC court showed that more than $12,- 900 had been used by the contractors in the senate and that as the result good man had been corrupted be- cause he did not have the strength to resist, the black mark had been put on his brow and caused his wis and children to go down In shame. And these mon have not changed one jot," declared Mr Kerwin. His decla- ration was followed by applause. This bill Is to pay Caldwell & Drake what the commission thinks the state owes them," he continued, and then they can go to more pleas ant fields to reap better harvNts.' The speaker referred to consultation between the contractors and their friends and some of the legislators.
 At that point Messrs. Heartsill. of Sebastian, and Thompson, of Inde- pendence. asked MT. Kerwin if he knew anything about consultations as the result of members of the house being called to the governors office from the floor of the house. Mir Ker- win replied that If he had been on the other side in the fight he might be in a better position to answer" Mir. Winn asked if the matter was to be fought as a fight between "sides" or as business proposition, with the interests of Arkansas at stake. Mir. Kerwin read from the supreme court report in speaking of the court record of Caldwell & Drake and insisted that the joker of the bill lies in the fact that it provides for a commits sion which will be ruled by the pres ent commissioners .and will allow them to make 8 settlement of any kind they see fit with Caldwell & Drake"
