SAY OLD SOLDIERS
 ARE WELL TREATED
Visiting Committee From the Arkan- sas Confederate Veterans Found no Cause for
 Complaint.

Little Rock, Feb. B. The visiting committee tor the Old Soldiers home appointed at the reunion of the Arkansas Confed- crate Veterans has made it's first visit to the home and the report is now in hands of Gen. James F. Smith, the commandant of the Arkansas Division. There IS nothing sensational in the report though au effort was made by the inmates of the home to have it so. The report simply states that the inmates are we'll clothed and their meals are good, with out touching upon the matter in which charges are made by the inmates. The entire com mittee recently went to the la. stitution, gong at such a time as to take the management by sur prise so the fare for the noon day meal could not be changed. The committee arrived while dinner was being served and saw what the inmates had. The commit teemen pronounced 1t good country meal and we'll cooked. Inmates of the home have for several months been com blaming of the management of the in- stitution to members of this com mittee, claiming they were not properly fed, and they had not secured any of the meat from hogs killed in the fall, and tho moral conduct of persons about tne institution was not good The committee did not have time to take up these charges, they being made by childish old men aud women who have nothing all day to do but to imagine such things are happening when they really are not.

Little Rock, Feb. 5.-Senti- meut has changed here consider. ably ou the new state capitol proposition since the report of Major J. s.

PRISON DELIVERY WIPED
Conspir y to Dynamiue Walls of State Pcnitentiary Exphsed
 By Two Conviots

Little Rock, Feb. 5.-A double attempt to escape. one at the old penitentiary and another at the new penitentiary, in which dyua- mite was to figure, which might have resulted in a wholesale jail delivery, was averted early yes terday morning by the failure of two of the men concerned to re- main faithful to their fellow-con- spirators.
 Whether the men fell out among themselves and the two men that gave away the scheme became angry with the others and endeavored to get even with them, or whether the two men became frightened when the mo- ruent to act came. has not been determined by the wardens, and will not be, probably for a week or two, when the details of the attempted escape will leak out.
 The attempt.at the new walls was nipped in the bud just in time to ..prevent what would have been the largest prison de- livery iu the history of the state. The object of the men was to blow out portion of tbe walls with dynamite and then make a dash for freedom.
 It is not known positively where the men obtained the dy- uamite, but it is thought that it Is some they had smuggled in when they returned from the brick kilns a short time ago.
 The three men most prominent ly connected with the attempt are Lambert Wilson of Pope county. who is serving a sentence of one year for grand larceny; Charles Roberts, life prisoner, convicted of murder in the first degree in Greene county; and Will Eppert, who is a new arrival at the pen, havlug been convicted iu Pula ski county of burglary on January l9.
 ]. E. Fitzpatrick, a convict, divulged the scheme to the war deus and prevented the delivery. Fitzpatrick is serving a l2-year sentence for forgery. He is a new arrival, having entered al the same time as Eppert. It is thought that he and Eppert be- came involved iu quarrel. and this resulted in Fitspatrick's ex. posing the attempt.

NEW 2-CENT RATE
 LAW INTRODUCED
Would Stop Shooting Fish and Punish Sunday Fishers Judiciary Com mittee Adverse to Constitu-
 tional Convention.

Little Rock, Feb. 5-The house returned to business last after noon under the new rules adopt ed at the morning session. and resumed roll-caIl for the introduc- tion of bills, after a long period of unfinished business, suspen- sion of rules" etc. The result was decided improvement in the amount of business dispatched, and no little time was saved in the elimination of the habit of calling for the suspensionI of rules in order to get bills Tn ahead of their regular turn.
 Ward of Jackson, intl oduced new rate bill, the joint work of himself and Vim of Pulaski. The bill seeks to re-enact the law of 1907, establishing the 2 cent rate for all trunk-llnes, and IS similar to that introduced earlier in the season by Vim. It differs from that bill, however, in that the penalty for violations is re- duced to read from $l00 to $500, instead of 5000 to 5000. It is contended that this will keep the cases out of the federal court on the ground of the excessive penalties.
 Bouie of Garland introduced house bill No. 123, which seeks to so amend section 3608 of the digest of statues that even the shooting of fish in the streams of the state is forbidden.
 A bill by Brown of Cleveland provides for the punishment of persons convicted of fishing on Sunday in Arkansas, the charge to be a misdemeanor and the fine from $5 to $25.
 The session closed with spirit ed debate over the merits of joint house resolutions No. by Cartwright, providing for such an amendment to article IA, Sec. 3, of the constitution, as will al- low the ITO rating of the taxes collected from railway companies for school purposes in general way, the same as other common school taxes.
 Cartwright defended the bill on the ground that it would help the weaker counties, and declared that the treasury of county having many miles of railway lluG nHOulQ HUI bC AOOuCu WAtu revenue from railroad taxes and it''was evident that..the opposition to its passage was so strong as to very much question its chance on a final vote.

 In the Senate.
 There was no session of the senate last afternoon, but that doesn't mean that the senators were not busy. Many of them were tied up in committee meet ings, and it is feared that the ac- ton ol one of the committees, the judiciary committee, has put bad stumbling block in the path of Senator Moutgomery's bill calling for a constitutional convention next July. The sad committee recommended adversely on the passage of the bill, a report of which action will probably be made at today's session of the senate
