Penitentiary Board Meets. Pass Hot Words Charging Bad Faith and Hires Out More State
 Prisoners.

Little Rock, June 2l.--At a called meeting of tue penitentiary board this morning a rather hot colloquy was precipItated between Governor Donaghey and certain members ot tbe board. The ques- tiou was over the hiring out of convicts.
 The governor wanted to adopt resolution introduced by Audi tor lobe, providing that convicis shall be hired out only after seal ed bids have been received through advertising for the same. He said he believed tho board could get Sl.25 per day. Com missioner Guy Tucker wanted to know if the governor had ev [ found any oue who would glve $l 25 per day for convicts.
 The governor said he had had intimations that meant the same thing.
 Secretary Ludwig challenged him to give names of the persons.
 All right" returned the gov ernor-'if you call for names can give them. Judge Gould came to me before the last board meeting and said that SIPS would be given for convicts, but 1 could never get the matter be- fore the board"
 "Why didn't you tell us that al the meeting? You said nothing about such an offer at the last meeting," said Ludwig.
 "I never had chance, replied the governor, "but Pm telling you right now what was said.
 Jobe's resolution was voted down, however, iu favor of an of fer from K. l.. Raleigh for 200 convicts at $l. 10 each. This had been fought by the governor and auditor, who wanted bids for the highest price in the market.
 Following this, Secretary Lud- wig then moved that Auditor Jobe's resolution be adopted to apply hereafter"
 "Oh, yes, you want to shut the door after the meats gone," sar- castically remarked the governor.
 Attorney General Norwood, in voting on the Raleigh contract, declared that if any one knew of a higher price than $l. 10 and had not reported same to the board he was "derelict in duty" This was aimed at Governor Donaghey in connection with the above statement.
 On advice of Attorney Genera NorwoJd, the board voted that the state capitol commission would have to agree to feed and clothe convicts before they would be granted for use on the new state house, under the Oldham bill.
 The session was one of the bit terest yet held.

TWO STATE OFFICES
To be Filled in July Election. Posi- tions, Chief and Associate Just
 ice of Supreme Court.

Little Rock, June l9.-In less than two weeks July l, 1909, ev- cry county in ihe state where any official vacancy has occurred in he past two years and been filled through the appointiye power of the governor, will hold a special election to fill these offices, as tue two vacancies in state posi-. lions.
 The only two state offices to be filled at this election are those in the Arkansas Supreme court, !, Judge E. A. McCulloch, Chief Justice, and Judge Samuel Frau enthal, Associate Justice, are the ooly candidates tor the places to be filled in this election.
 They are the occupants of these positions and each is the Demo- cratic nominee, which iusures his selection by the people. Chief Justice McCulloch is man among the few of the state and has been upon the Supreme Court bench for a number of years. His hav- ing been before the people several times, makes him well known to every section of the state and all voters. Associate Justice Frau enthal, though cue of the most learned men of the state and a most successful attorneys of cen tral Arkansas, has never before been a candidate, but is well known to the bar and the people.
 Though a member of the su- preme court for only a few months, Samuel Fraueuthal has taken shold of the work as though he had been there for years, and has rendered many opinions since February 1 which have been commented upon with favor by the bar of the state.
 Samuel Frauenthal IS yet a young man. He was born and raised in Louisville, Ky, attend ing school in that city, but com pleting his education at Bethel College, Russellville, Ky, where he graduated as the valedictorian of his class. After graduating from this college he studied law iu the office of !. H. Bowden, judge of the superior court of Kentucky, and J. s. Rhea, con- gressman from the Third district of that state. In 1885 Associate Justice Fraueuthal moved to Con- way, where he was engaged in the active practice of law until he was appointed associate justice of the supreme court.
 Justice Frauenthal has always been a champion of the truth and stands for all that is best and cleanest in law and Government. He is highly esteemed as man of high moral and intellectual at tainments, and the assurance he will remain upon the supreme bench is gratifying to the bar of the state and all who have met him.
