LOWER RATES
ARE EFFECTIVE
FROM MONDAYS DAILY.

Little Rock, May 3 This is the
day set for the Inauguration of the
az cent passenger rate on the
lines of the Rock Island in Ark
ansas. The low rae is a conces-
sion to the general demand of the
public and marks an important
step in the fight between the rail
roads and the people over the rate
question.
1t is thought that other roads
will follow the lead of the Rock
Island, although the Iron Noun
tain management announces that
there will be no reduction in pas
senge tariff until the cases pend
ing before Federal Judge McPher-
son at Kansas City, are settled.
1t is possible and regarded gen
orally as probable, that the first of
June will see the ~ cent rate
operative on all lines in the state
more than IS miles in length, and
the lower freight rate based on
Judge Trleber's suggested tariff
which is 3313 more than the tariff
promulgated by the Arkansas
Railroad commission which the
railroads called conhscatory.
There will be a conference be-
tween railroad officials and the
states special counsel which is
fighting for the state railway COM
mission, held in Little Rock on
May 10 at which it is hoped by
the railroad commission that a
final agreement may be reached
and the courts tariff enabled to be
put into effect by June 1.
Should such an agreement be
reached the pending litigation
would be dropped for a year, &C.
cording to the recommendations of
the report made Saturday to the
governor by the states special
counsel, Former Chief Justice Hill
of the State Supreme Court, Form
er Attorney General w. F. Kirby
and Judge Jas. II. Harrod.

NUDE infant
FOUND DEAD

Little Rock, May Little Rock
has babe of the sewer mystery.
Thursday night a very hard rain
fell here, the hardest in years, and
washed out every ditch in the city.
Late in the afternoon yesterday a
boy playing on the bank of the
Arkansas river at the foot of Spring
street, just behind the Pulaski
county Jail, discovered the nude
body of four months old infant.
The gruesome find was reported
to the police AID the remains turn
ed over to Healy & R>th. under
takers, at which morgue an inquest
will be held today. From all ap-
pearances, the child had been
dead but short time. There is
no clew to the identity of the child
and there are no marks on the body
which would indicate foul play. IL
is supposed the body was thrown
in ditch which empties into the
river near the foot OF Spring street,
and was washed out by the aood
Thursday night. The body was
buried yesterday afternoon by or
der of Coroner S. F.. Hodges.

HAS NO RECORD OF DIVORCE
Proud Boast of Woman Pastor Who
Has United a Large Number of
Loving Couples.

Is the woman parson a panacea for
the divorce evil? Rev. Anna Shaw
thinks she is and bases her conclu-
sions on 80 years experience in
marrying couples, not one of whom
have sought to have their matri-
monial bonds set aside.
On Cape Cod, where the we'll
known suffrage orator began life as
Methodist minister, she was ex-
tremely popular with young couples.
at used to be quite the fashion
for couples to come from nearby
settlements to be married by the
woman parson," said Miss Shaw,
''and it is a matter of great delight
to me that these marriages have
turned out 80 well.
81 attribute the large number Of
successful marriages which have
fallen to my share as minister to
the fact that any man who is broad
minded enough to be married by a
woman minister thinks sufficiently
well of our sex to make a good hus-
band, one who will have respect for
his wife and consider her entitled to
an equal share in the government of
the household"

OLDHAM BILL STIRS HOUSE
First Reading Gets Solons cup
in the Air"
Members, However, Descend to Earth ia
Time to Attend the
Ball Game

Little Rock, May Special.
The house yesterday afternoon
received the Oldham state capital
bill and read it once, White of JEFF
ferson calling the bill up. After it
was read once Parks of Lafayette
moved that the house 20 into a
committee of the whole to consid-
er the bill. This motion carried
and Carl Lee of Woodruff was
placed in the chair. Objection was
made to the reading of the bill
second time, but the majority was
on the other side.
The first section was read and
an amendment offered but without
it being read the chairman de
clared the section adopted. This
brought Thompson of Indepen-
dance to his feet to demand recog-
milton. Martin of Yell was also
on the floor clamoring for recogni-
ton. Chairman Carl Lee ordered
the sergeant at arms to seat the
the two members, but they refused
to obey his orders. Chairman Carl
Lee then asked Thompson why hi
rose to a point of order and receiv-
ed the reply that he did so because
he offered an amendment and it
had not been read. Chairman Carl
Lee apologized and stated that he
had not seen it.
Martin was recognized after the
bill was placed back on the second
reading for amendment to the first
section if the house desired to
make it, and suggested that the
house postpone action on the bill
for the present, as the Legislators
seemed to be all up in the air.
Parks then moved an adjourn
ment, and at $50 the Legislators
filed out to take in the ball game.
The bill will now go over until
next week, as today is local bill
day, though it can be called up at
any time.
As has been the custom of the
entire session the senate adjourned
at noon Friday, there being moth
ing OF special Importance for the
body to transact. The senatorial
delegation also assisted in swelling
the box receipts at the ball game
between Mobile and Little Rock.

blown away was exaggerated. No

made to restore telephone commu-

Storm General Over Arkansas.

Little Rock, April so "A severe
storm, carrying with 1t several tor.
nadoes, swept over Arkansas last
night, destroying property and
causing loss of life. Wires are
down and at an early hour this
morning it is impossible to ascer
tain the damage or extent OF the
life loss. Several people are re-
ported killed and others fatally and
many seriously injured. According
to the reports received thus far, the
storm was worst almost directly
east of Little Rock and betw cen
here and Fort Smith. Two lorna
does are reported to have struck
near Brinkley, which was recently
destroyed by tornado. A general
storm throughout the central part
of the state was accompanied by an
electrical storm and heavy hail,
which, it is estimated, has done
considerable damage.
Two people are reported hurt at
SHIRLEY in Crawford county, and
the Davidson hotel at Dyer in the
same county, was demolished. The
entire town of Harrolton in the
same county Is reported to have
been wiped out. At Knoxville,
Mrs. Richard Conner and E. Jones
were fatally hurt. Twenty others
were injured there. At Kibler,
Crawford county, Thomas ] Trout
was so badly hurt he is not expect
ed to live. From Van Buren, comes
the report that the fruit crop has
been greatly damaged by the heavy
hail.
Damage Near Brinkley.
A number of dwelling houses
two and one-half miles north OF
Brinkley were demolished. One
negro woman sustained a broken
ankle. About three miles north
of Wheatley, close to Brinkley, 10
or houses were der olished and
an injured negro is not expected to
live.
Citizens of Brinkley, fully appre-
ciating the horrors of tornado,
have sent a relief train of wagons
overland and another has gone
from Wheatley to the aid of the
sufferers in that district.
Six Reported Killed.
A report from Forrest City is to
the effect that six were killed be-
tween Haynes and Mariana. The
report is not confirmed.
Three houses were demolished
near Forrest City.

Martinville, May I.-Special.-
Later reports from the storm at
Bee Branch Friday night indicate
that the first reports of the tornado
were exaggerated as to the number
of houses destroyed, although the
number of injured and the suffer
ing of the people was not overstat-
ed yesterday.
DR.. Sandford Cole, who was re-
ported probably fatally injured, is
said to be somewhat better today.
DR.. Cole was the only person in
the Cole Hotel who was seriously
injured, although the building was
blown off its pillars and badly
damaged. He was standing on
the porch watching the clouds
when the storm struck him and
was blown a distance of 800 yards.
In the family of Newt Collum
every member was injured, two
quite seriously. The two badly
hurt are Miss Bessie Collum and a
brother.
