CONVENTION IS CALLED
REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COM MITTEE NAMES JUNE 8
 AS DATE.

Little Rock, April 12.-The Repub- lican state central committee held a meeting in Little Rock yesterday and behind the locked doors a number of warm disputes are said to have taken place. The matter of the Pine Bluff postofice, after some little discussion, was left to the state convention for adjustment. Major Fred Furth for number of years postmaster there, is opposed by Dr. Thompson, and though the committee indorsed Furth at a previous time, the appointment was held up in Washington. General Powell Clayton is said to request the appointment of Furth, so the chances are much in his favor.
 The committee called the state con- vention for Little Rock June 8. The first session will be held at 10 o'clock on that day, and it is probable the Capital theater will be secured for the event. The representation was fixed at one delegate for each county, with one delegate for every 150 votes cast for John l. Worthington the Rep1bl;- can candidate for governor, anl an additional delegate for each major fraction of 15O. This will allow about 375 delegates to the convention. Some minor charges were made in the rules gove1 ming county conventions.
 TT committee indorsed the follow ing for postmasters: Samuel P. Book, Cabot; c. H. Dckerson, Ashdown; J. E. Wells, DeVall's Bluff; J. A. Me Leod, Bearden, anG II [ Stuckert, Big Alow.

There were several indictments. including over 100 counts, returned against the Iron Mountain for failure to provide electric headlight for the locomotives of the Central division, as ordered by the Arkansas railroad commission. | The penalties would have amounted to over $100,000 had the state been able to collect the highest amount and secure a conviction in each count. A compromise was reached by which the railroad company was to pay the state $5,000 and all the court costs. Prosecutor Arbuckle says the road was to pay the amount agreed upon within 10 days, but for some reason secured further time, though it is bound to comply sooner or later.
