publican senators who have stood
with him in opposition to the bill as
II was prepared by the attorney-gen-
eral and introduced by Senator Eikins
In behalf of the administration.
The statement was made in the
shape of a brief speech delivered In
support of an amendment placing up
on railroad companies. the burden of
proof I'm hearings on rate increases.
This amendment was accepted by
Senator Elkins and became q part OF
the bill by general consent, thus con-
stituting the only amendment pre-
sented by the Iowa senator that has
been accepted by the senate
In his speech Mr. Cummins said
that while the bill left much to be
desired he considered II step for
ward In railroad legislation. He
enumerated the various provisions Of
the measure and said that with the
exception of the court Of commerce
sections he considered It in every way
desirable legislation. He felicitated
himself and his associates especially
upon the expurgation OF sections z
and IL, dealing with the traffic agree
ment and mergers. The first of these
he characterized as a reproach and
the second as q curiosity.
Aside from the Cummins' provision
the action OF the day consisted In the
rejection of Senator Browns amend
ment prohibiting the consolidation OF
competitive railroads. This amend
ment went out on an adverse vote or
20 to Al. The principal discussion OF
the day was over the Brown amend
ment and Senator La Follette's amend
ment requiring the interstate COM
merce commission to make physical
valuation of the railroads.
When, late in the day, II looked as
IL II would be at east possible to OBJ
tain vote on this amendment, Sen
ator Stone took the floor with the in
tention of delivering a set speech on
another amendment, which he said he
intended to introduce. He refused to
yield the floor for a vote.

RUSS lLVILLE ID
 LIGHT -kfICHBOR DAY AND NIGHT SERVICE TO BE GIVEN DARDANELLE BY RUSSELLVILLE LIGHT AND
 POWER COMPANY.

By a unanimous vote of the city council of Dardanelle last night franchise was granted the Russell vile Water and Light Company ct supply the town across the river with electricity for lights and power, says the Russellville Courier Democrat. The power will be supplied from the company's dam five miles north of this city and carried across the river to Dardanelle, distance of ten miles. The wire will be strung across the rive rfrom a tower on this side to Dardanelle rock, a span of 1900 feet.
 Dardanelle has been lighted by municipal plant, and it was a consid- eration of the franchise that the Rus sellville Water and Light Company purchase their plant and equipment, consisting of engine and boilers, dy names, meters, wiring, etc, the pur- chase price being $10,000. The fran chise is a copy of the one effective in this city, the rates being the same. These rates are not only lower than the rates in force by the municipal plant in Dardanelle, but her people will also enjoy a continuous day and night current under the new fran cnlSe.
 ' Dardanelle also owns her own wat CT plant and will continue to operate this, though it is more than likely that power for pumping will be supplied by the Russellville company in the near future.
 ! The Russellville Water and Light company have abundant power to sup ply towns within radius of 20 or 30 miles of Russellville, and have been working to this end. Almost every day marks the installation of some new electric driven machinery in this city, the biggest consumer thus far being the Southern Anthracite Coal Mines, who use more than 100-horse power machinery and fans. The fact that these mines find it cheaper to use the electric power than to generate steam with their own coal is one of the best evidences of the economy, to say noth- ing of the convenience the hydro electric power, which is available in Russellville for manufacturing pur- poses or otherwise.

PRUDENT PARENTS
 HEAD OFF LICENSES

Taking time by the forelock, two parents of love-lorn youths in this county have in the past day or two re- quested County Clerk J. H. Bailey ont to issue licenses for the marriage of their respective children, should they be applied for, one of them serv- ing written notice on both the clerk and his deputy not to issue such a li- cense for a period of at least three years. Clerk Bailey declined to state the names of the prudent parents, but said one request had come from Con- way and the other from Enola. He said, however, that there seemed to be little danger of anybody getting married, from the appearance of his license record recently. 'It looks like marrying has gone out of style in this county. l haven't issued a license this month"; said the clerk.

PIERCE
 DIED OF WOUNDS
DESPERADO FICHTSPOSSE
VAN BUREN COUNTY MAN IS WOUNDED IN BATTLE
 WITH OFFICERS.

Little Rock, May 12.-Deputy Mar shal w. F. Freeman, who came to Lit tie Rock yesterday and told of the fight his posse had with Bert Pierce in Van Buren county Saturday night, left again this morning to take up the trial and make an effort to locate the desperado. Freeman is of the opinion that Pierce is dead from the wounds he received in the fight with the posse. Pierce, who has been several times in the Pulaski county jail for selling liquor illegally, was brought back again by the government on an ale gation that he had attempted to rob the postoffice at Lexington, Van Blu ren county He escaped from the has been spending the most of his time about Morrilton and Atkins sell ing liquor in defiance of government officers.
 Pierce went to the home of his fath- CT Friday night and Saturday word was to Freeman: He organized e pos which were pr. J. N. Clark, Will N lock, John Pierce and Depu- ty Freeman. They went to the fence and were just ready to make raid when Pierce walked out and struck a match. He saw the men and ran back in the house, grabbed his Winchester and went out the back way He be- l gan shooting as he ran and it is al 1 legged his father began shooting with another rife from a window. Free man and Dr. Clark barred the way of Pierce and they exchanged number of shots, Pierce using rifle and the others shot guns. After shooting the second time, Freeman saw Pierce fall but he was up and gone before he reached the spot He left only his hat behind.
 Pierce was trailed to the house of a neighbor who told the officers he was struck in the back of the head with buck shot, twice in the back, and once in the shoulder, besides a pistol i ball passing through the calf of one leg. The officers looked for Pierce from that time until Tuesday noon knowing he was hidden in the noun tains close about, but they could find no trace of him.
 Freeman believes when Pierce is found he will not be alive. Whillock was the only man in the fight with the Pierces armed with a revolver, SC it is probable that it was he who shot Pierce in the leg. The elder Pierce stooting from the window, struck nc one, but bullet from his rifle splint. cred a paling on the fence between Whillock and John Pierce, member of the possee but no relative of Bert Pierce.

Granfield states that the fiscal year ending June 30 is the period dur ing which the qualifications of offices for free delivery are ascertained If the receipts for that period amount to more than $10,000, he requests the postmaster to file an application for

COLLEGE PROFESSORS
 ON DELINQUENT LIST

G. NJ. Easterwood, who is collecting the delinquent personal taxes in Cad ron township, stated this morning that three local college professors were on the list of those who had failed to pay their taxes within the time required by law MT. Easter wood said the professors kicked" on paying the 25 per cent penalty, saying the officers ought to have notified them of their delinquency, but he told them they should read the county papers, which have been advertising for the past four months that the tax-books would close April 10. Two of the professors had also failed to assess their taxes and had to pay assessors penalties.

 MT. Owen says the receipts for the current fiscal year already exceed $10,000, so there will be no difficulty in making the proper showing to the department along that line when the time comes There is some question, however, as to whether the service will be immediately established, even though the department finds the city entitled to free. delivery. H. L.
