The meeting was an executive one, presided over by President R. Hi McCulloch. Nll members of the committee were present.

June S.-There is a quiet movement on foot to have the mayors of every incor- pOrated town in Arkansas meet here some day before fall, with representatives from every com mercial body in the state. and form an asSucia tion to work for better laws for the towns and cities of the state. Ths conyen- tion is pet scheme of Mayor. w. k. DuEey and it is his desire that it have an executive con- mittee which shall go over the laws of the state and have the next legislature change such avs as are not to be the best intert ests of the cities. 1t is figured that such an organization would provide more liberal laws for the city in the way of Improvements and not only that but would give laXity In the amusements for the towns, permitting Sunday base ball and other innocent amuse- ments on the Sabbath. The cases in which convictions for Sunday violation have been had in Little Rock, have been appealed and it is figured the Supreme Court will pass upon them before the end of the summer should the circuit court of this county also impose penalty. The attorneys who are representing the amusement peo- pie, claim the present law is un- constitutional as it prevents games and places of amusement to operate on the Christian Sab- bath Which is a discrimination and in violation of the four teenth amendment. to the con- stitution of the United States.
