LEGISLATURE MAY
 ADJOURN THURSDAY
The Senate Inclined to Refuse to Pass the House Resolution Extending
 the Session.

Little Rock, March s - Only four days Of the regular session Of the General Assembly of 1909 remain and the principal queE- tion heard now is whether or not the Senate will pass the con- current resolution already pass ed by the House, extending the session for 60 days. Rumor strong and disputed by but few members Of the Upper House, has it that there are more than one third of the senate who will vote against an extension of the session, and thus cause an adjournment Of the General Assembly Thursday ev- ening. They figure, according to the rumor that such move would force the governor to is- sue a call for a special session for specific purposes. naming the things to be considered during the special session, the Capitol muddle being the chief one, and in this manner the Gam prohi~ bition bill can be defeated. This very report if anything, will pre- vent the senate from refusing to adjourn, for they do not wish to have it said they voted to dodge the prohibition issue. There are more than 12 members of the senate who are opposed to the Gam bill becoming a law, so it remains to be seen how far they will go and the ti!ne is not long to wait. for something must be done by Thursday. Gov OOna ghey says he knows nothing a. bout the proposition, but intim atea if the Senate adjourns he will immediately call it back to do something on the state capi- tclc

ARKANSAS PEACHES
 WIN OVER CALIFORNIA
Bert Johnson of Elberta Succeeds in In. trOducIng Fruit at Hot Springs
 Hotels.

Hot Springs, March S.-Arkan- Sas peaches are to displace Cal l1ornla fruit among the big ho- tels here. For years it had, been thought that the epicurian pal ates Of the millionaire guests would be satisfied only with the western product but now this has all changed and the lucious fruit of Nor rthwestern Arkansas has after it's first trial shown it's superiority over all rivals It is pronounced sweater and more "fruity" than that of California the latter having a more insipid taste than the Arkansas product.
 Despite the demonstrated su- periority of the Bear State fruit it was with great difficulty that it was introduced here It's intro duction is due chiefly to thtj efforts of Bert Johnson Supcrin- tendent of the Arkansas Orchard Planters Association Upon his first trip here he was given a cold reception by the jobbers, but he sold a carload of the canned fruit to retailers and upon his second trip jobbers and hotel men were eager to purchase Arkansas Peaches

NEW LAW GOVERNING
 FLOUR BLEACHING
After June 9th Next All Flour Must Be
 Sold As Ground From the Wheat.

One of our local grocery men this morning called our attention to the law recently passed by Congress which prevents roller mills from using any means for bleaching flour, and handed us a letter stating that June 9, 1909 is the time limit given all dea,- CTS in which to dispose of stocks now on hand.
 The new law means that after June 9th all flour must be sod as it comes from the mill, after being ground from the wheat. and that no means can be- used bleach it.
 While the day of pure white flour is nearing an end, the baking qualities will probably be better. and instead of getting an inferior grade, as one will sup pose at glance they are really getting a better article from tho standpoint of nutrition.
 The natural color Of flour has a brOwnish tint and the break fast biscuits will probably be Sus pected Of getting too much soda until they are once tasted.

Ito's Korean Program.

1t appears to have. been necessary for
the japanese government to announce
formally that Prince Itos plans for the
reformation of Korea will be executed re-
CARELESS of his assassination. Immedi-
ately after the crime certain influences
in Japan voiced a demand for the i'm
mediate annexation of the peninsula.
while from another quarter came a de-
mand for the moderation of Japanese
suzerainty there. There was no reason
to believe that Ito's death would effect
change in any respect. but the official
announcement has nevertheless followed
putting at rest all rumors Of change OF
policy.
Japan could not relinquish it's control
over Korean affairs without surrendering
virtually all the fruits of the war with
Russia. which was waged to prevent the
establishment in Korea of any other for
eign interest and thus to safeguard japan
from too close an approach of a possibly
inimical power. On the other hand, it
could not. without a violation of its
pledges. render the terms of it's control
more severe or definitely annex the pen
Ursula. II Is committed to the policy
Of administering Korean affairs for the
benefit of the people, the correction of
abuses. the establishment Of progressive
institutions. and the redemption of the
land from its deplorable state of back
wardness.

street at once 1t Is true that vehicles must
cross the car tracks to get upon the open
side. But this is not more dangerous than
to be forced into the narrow space OF the
street railways right of way. A vehicle
thus crossing the track to reach the open
side would be naturally so guided as to
reduce the danger to minimum. 1t Is
safer to cross the track perpendicularly
or at an angle than to have the street car
directly behind for considerable dis
lance. When traffic is thrown to one side
as to the maintenance of the right-hand
rule as though the entire street were
open, with the difference that all the
street users must in such cases adjust to
the changed conditions.
The point has been raised in this con-
nection, and is entitled to the most serious
consideration, that the closing of both
sides at once imposes serious handicap
upon the movement of the fire engines.
which must be driven at high speed and
should have assuredly a wider opening
than the distance between a street car
and the outer rail of the adjacent track.
Already one life has been sacrificed to
this practice. The District government
should not wait for another tragedy or
for the disablement of a fire department S
steamer, perhaps involving an immense
loss OF property or the loss Of life. before
adopting the obviously safer method of
street improvements which last week s
accident SO clearly suggests.

The fact that the accident which cost

employe of the Districts engineer depart.
ment which accompanied the simultane-
Gus closing OF both sides Of a street for
improvements is not an impressive argu.
ment -for continuing that practice. All
other considerations fail In the face OF the
fact that fatal accident did occur which
was unquestionably due primarily to the
closing Of Connecticut avenue extended on
both sides up to the car rails. Capt.
Markham's statement on this point.
printed the other day. is based upon the
assumption that it is safer to confine all
the trafic of the street to the few feet
between the two outer rails of the car
tracks than to leave open the street from
the outer rail of one track to the farther
curb. In other words, according to this
view twelve feet are safer than thirty or
thirty-five, a proposition that will not
strongly appeal to the average observer
Of street conditions.
With the closing Of only one side Of the
