NOT A CENT YET PAID OUT
Gov. Donaghey Answers Legis-
 lat0r's Charge.
Brinkley Funds not Misappropriated, for Simple Reason That Not Penny
 has been Distributed.

Little Rock, March 26.-Reply- ing to charges made by Represen- tative J. T. Ard of Jackson county in the house yesterday, that the funds of the Brinkley relief fund had been misappropriated, Gov ernor Donanhey this morning sent a special message to the house.
 The governor knocked the props from under Ards insinuations by stating that there could be no mis- appropriation of the funds for the simple reason that not one cent Of the relief fund has as yet been paid out.
 Gov. Donaghey states that he has been working out systematic method of distribution for the fund in order to prevent any possibility of its misuse, and that pending the perfecting of these details no part whatever of the appropriation had been released.

Immediately following the Brink ley tornado the legislature passed an appropriation of SIo, 900 for the relief of the sufferers in the storm and making the fund payable on vouchers to be issued by the gov ernor. In speech on the floor of the house yesterday morning, Rep resentative Ard declared that he had been reliably informed that relief funds were being paid to wealthy citizens of Brinkley, while people in actual distress were be- ing refused assistance.

MARTIAL LAW ORDER REVOKED
Brinkley Again in Hands of it's
 Own Officers.
Confer About Special Primary Election

Little Rock, March 26.-Brink ley is now again in the hands of the citizens and peace officers of the town, all military laws being revoked and in the future the town must look out for itself, as it did before the cyclone. The remain ing I5 soldiers of the McCrory company were sent home lastnight. and Sheriff R. F. Milwee, who was in command all the time, has turned the government over to the town officers.
 He was in Little Rock last night conferrlng with Bruce T. Bullion, secretary of the state Democratic central committee, of which he is the chairman, relative to the call ed meeting of the committee which is to be held here Tuesday for the purpose of selecting rules and a date for the special primary cleo ton for chief and associate justice of the supreme court, and county, district and township officers over the state wherever there is va cancy. Chairman Milwee express ed the opinion that the election would be quiet one, as no one anticipates opposition to Chief Justice McCulloch and Associate Justice Fraue1thal.
 Prof. Cunningham of Wander bilt University addressed the stu dents of Hendrix College th1s morning in the interest of the cor respondence department of that university.

ANOTHER PROHIBITION BILL
House Passes Little-Parks An
 ti-Liquor Law.
Contenders for Submission are Defeated Senate Votes to Repeal State
 Capitol Tax.

Little Rock, March 26.-Special. Debating all day upon the Lit tie Parks statutory prohibition bill, the house allowed it to go to vote late in the afternoon and it was passed, 4S to B. The bill was called up early in the morning by Thompson of Independence and as the bill was on its third reading the debate soon became warm. Hurst and Martin lead the opposition, contending for submis- sion, as called for by the last Dem ocratic state committee meeting.
 Hurst stood out to the last, but voted for the bill upon its passage. Martin went down with the ship. The argument against submission was that 1t was considered uncon- stitutional to have the people make laws, which would be done if they were permitted to enact a prohibi- ton law by their votes.
 The Little bill goes into effect January I, 1910, should 1t be pass ed by the senate and be signed by the governor. Its passage in the in the senate is doubtful, however, as that body has already turned down the Gam bill, passing it on ly after the submission amendment was added.

FEWER POETS IN ENGLAND.
Among English Spring Books There Is
 Not Volume By Real Poet.

From a London Letter to the New York
 Times.
 The decline in the output of English poetry continues. The minor poets, the poets that bloom in spring, are always singing and always printing their labors at their own expense. But in all the lists of announcements of English spring books there Is scarcely a volume by man or woman who has proven himself or her self a real poet.
 What contrast to the days when Will liam Watson and Richard Le Gallienne sang from the Bodley Head, when Rud- yard Kipling beat drum tap from some where else, when a "near-poet'' was "dis- covered each morning to 8 wondering world Thomas Hardy has given up flc- tion and writes verse and his senior. the veteran George Meredith, Hits us an occa- sional staye but all that mas nothing to do with the question-where are our poets of yesterday? Where are the dozen or so volumes of poetry of real inspira- tion which we were wont to find in the announcement lists of spring? The Eng fish book world has become more prac- tical, more business like, more eommer- cial, but might we not have been spared the poets corner?

The Iron Market.

Southern furnace interests, as a rule, are inclined to think that the demand for pig iron will soon be brisker than it has been for a long time. Stocks are light and with strong buying movement prices should advance readily. Rogers, Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati report says:
 Encouragement is noticed in the firm Ing up of prices, less range in the high and low figures wanted by the furnaces and an Improvement in inquiries and sales. Some furnaces are refusing to con- slider figures at which they took busi- ness a week ago, and while there Is no unusual feature the whole situation is stronger.
 Tt is good to note the position of large buyers who have been actively engaged in locating iron in instances where they have made offers which have been re- fused, have placed the business at high CT level.
 "The average daily production of pig iron was less during March than Febru- ary. Beginning April 1 the output of fur naces was at tho r~'o of about o1 ,5o0noo

As tO An Income Tax

The democrats of the Senate have decided to support an income tax and a reduction in the duties on the neces- saries of life. Every democratic Sen ator will line up straight and true on these two propositions, and on these they can win the support of the voters.
 Nor will they stand alone in de- manding these two features, for Sena- tors Cummins and Borah at least favor an income tax and probably other re- publicans. Senators Cummins and Borah are excellent lawyers and they say the supreme court has substan- tially reversed itself since 1t declared the income tax provision Of the Wilson law unconstitutional. The pest opinion seems to be that cal efully drawn clause would be held constitutional by the supreme court as it stands today, for the court includes five members that did not sit on it when the Wilson law provision was declared unconstitu. tional
 Senator Aldrich claims that his tariff bill will provide needful revenue, but no one else thinks as he does. The best experts, including our own Oscar Underwood, look for deficit in the coming fiscal year of so0 100000 under the Payne-Aldrich bill. More taxation is needed-more revenue, and the democrats of the Senate will serve their country well if they push an in- come provision to the front and de- mand yea-and-nay vote upon it.
 If the republicans are willing to face deficit after voting down an income tax, well and good. Let that become the chief issue of the tariff problem.

FARMS FOR SURPLUS WOMEN,

From the New York World.
 To put the 100000 surpluSspinsters and widows of Massachusetts profitably to work on tracts of land near the largo cities Is the scheme of the Women s Homestead association. It is planned to have the petticoated agriculturists raise flowers herbs mushrooms, berries, vege- tables chickens, bees and even pigs to meet home demands.
 On the point of women's chances of suc- cess in garden occupations there are ample precedents.
 Of women farmers there were in the United States at the time of the last census over 900,000; of women farm labor CTS nearly 5O0,O00. most of whom were in the southern states and of the negro race. In France nearly 100000 women are en- gagged in farm work. Out of the Euro pean peasantry have come most of the 5000 women farmers and farm laborers who can be found on the truck farms of Long Island and Connecticut within easy distance of New York
 With the homestead plan succeeding, Massachusetts women will face a more grateful means of sustenance than that provided through ordinary charitable forms of outdoor relief"

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
4 Story Recalled.

Said a professional man In con nection with Emma Eames approaching concert engagement here an interesting story is recalled Madame Eames is a dramatic soprano and has long been distinguished as a Wagnerian star. She was cast for the leading solo in Lohen- grin when the Metropolitan Opera company presented that popular music drama in Birmingham several years ago. But few of our citizens insisted on hearing Sembrich in the star part and Carrie Bridewell in the contralto role. Neither of these artists were suited by temperament for the Lohen- grin characters, but as the demand was made for them Grau, who was then manager of the Metropolitan opera, and Walter Damrosch, the conductor, re- luctantly consented to make the change. Madame Sembrich, much against her will, appeared in the roll of Elsa and Madame Flames took a day off The opera was given at the Bijou and the box office receipts amounted to a It. tie more than $7000. That, by the way, was the largest amount ever received here for a single performance, Lohen- grin was gorgeously staged, but as the cast was wrong there was consid- erable disappointment on the part of educated musicians. But as MT. Gucken- berger remarked at the time there was one redeeming feature-Damrosch and his orchestra. He said he had never sheard an orch play Wagner quite so well and had never known a conduc- tor who interpreted Wagner so we'll as Damrosch.
 "Sembrich as a colature soprano Is uneXcelled, but she felt hurt at being compelled to assume role for which in voice and method she was united. The moral: Leave the arrangement of casts to the director"

As things look now the Young Turks are defeated, and the old regime and autoc- racy and spy system seem to be in a way to be restored to power Consti- tutional government is not acceptable to the people of Turkey. They are not ready to receive 1t, and the reaction ary elements at the instigation of the Sultan took advantage of the increas- ing discontent

PERU.
Prom the Altoona Tribune.

Prom the Altoona Tribune.
 The recent announcement of the mak- ing of two loans aggregating $5,000,0OO. by Peru is not to be regarded as ominous or unfavorable, remarks the New York Tribune, but rather as an indication of the fiscal integrity and general welfare of that progressive country. We are told that the proceeds of these loans are to be used for cancelling the German loan of 100000, which was made three years ago and which has been guaran- teed by the salt tax, and for settling some floating indebtedness which was in- cured by the last administration, thus establishing a normal fiscal situation in the republic. When these things are done Peru will have no foreign debt what ever and only about s25, 100000 of do- mestic debt, of which less than $14000,- 900 is funded and bearing interest at only 1 per cent, while the remaining sl,- 900 900 is also funded but bears no in- terest. In such circumstances and with a yearly revenue several millions greater than expenditures and with exports ex- ceeding imports by several millions, the republic is in a condition which many of it's neighbors might well envy. It is true that nine years ago in order to get rid of her then large foreign debt, Peru turned over to a corporation the state railroads and some rich guano. min eral and real estate concessions. But the bargain was a good one for the republic and, with the adoption and secure maintenance of the gold standard, it placed Peruvian credit high among the nations.
 Peru is, in fact, far richer, more prosperous and more important coun- try than most Americans probably sup pose It is, pending the completion of the Panama canal, so isolated from us commercially that we know much less about 1t than about other lands which are actually more remote, but at pres ent more easily accessible. sumptuous folio volume which was written by MT. Garland and published by order of Dr. Pardo while he was President of Peru. last year, gives a comprehensive and accurate account of the republic which is worthy of careful study by all who would have correct knowledge of a great South American state which has long been distinguished by its friendship to the United States.
