VINCENT BILL
 APPEAL CLAUSE
 UNSATISFACTORY

The appeal clause of the Vincent public utilities bill will not appear in the measure which will be adopted by the State Business Mems Association
 The absolute elimination of the fatal clause was announced to the Bridgeport Business Mems Associa- ton, last night, by Ralph O. Wells, who has had a large hand in pre- pairing the bill which the business men of Connecticut will probably
 MT. Wells was secretary to the special commission, appointed during the term of Governor Woodruff to recommend public utilities bill to the General Assembly. He is on the special committee named by the State Association to draw a satisfactory bill.
 Mr. Wells announced that while SC me of the sections of the Vincent bill were acceptable, that the section relating to appeals by public service corporations has been abandoned
 ''In it's place." he said, twill be sub stituted a section giving an appeal only in case it is claimed an order of the public service commission IS unlawful"
 The Farmer, when the Vincent bill was submitted for public considera- tion, indicated omissions and errors in it, which absolutely destroyed any usefulness that it might otherwise have had.
 The bill as originally presented. omitted to prevent stock water and cid not provide for audit of the ac- counts of public service corporations and was without provisions for pub licity.
 These provisions were inserted by the directors of the business mems association when the bill reached them, but they retained the appeal clause after securing modification of it, written by Judge Simeon E. Bald win.
 The affect of this appeal clause was to give a public service corporation relief from the orders of the com mission if it could show court that it ''couId not afford to obey.
 The clause was believed by State S Attorney Stiles Judson and other able lawyers to be unconstitutional, or at least destructive of the bill.
 The above view, strongly enunciat- ed by the Farmer, was shared by a majority of the directors of the State Association. The appeal clause which the proposed legislation will actually embrace is that favored by the Far mer, which gives recourse to the courts only when it is claimed that the commission has acted unlawfuIIy Senator Charles Peck of Danbury gave an interesting talk upon the sub ject of public utilities legislation. He told how the bill was defeated in the last General Assembly and said that it will be necessary for business men to present solid front in favor of suitable legislation to the next Gen. eral Assembly.

Manager Garvey insisted that Miss Fleming withdraw her entry for the hill climb, and Miss Fleming could see no reason for such action on her part Miss Fleming bases her right to go up Snake Hill in competition on the ground that she is a licensed driver, runs absolutely no risk in climbing the hill, that the climb takes place early in the morning when she is not re- quired to be at the theatre, and that her contract does not eliminate the driving of an auto by her when she sees fit to drive it.
 On the other hand, Manager Gar vey claims that Miss Fleming is un- der contract at a large salary by Man ager PoH for the summer season. that the possibility of an accident calls for his refusal, acting for. Manager Poli to allow Miss Fleming to participate in this climb. which positively involves a risk, and that Miss Fleming owes something to not only Manager Poli but to the Poli patronage by whom she is greatly admired, to not run the dan ger of being injured and thus preclude a possibility of her carrying out her contract with Manager Poli.
 Up to date the contest, marked bv the best of feeling on both sides. has got to one point and stuck there. That point lies in the fact that Miss Fleming says 1T will" and Manager Garvey says You won't.'

Those who have witnessed the pro duction of '"The Lion and the Mouse" at Polls this week will remember that the striking incidents of the drama hinge around the battle of wits be- tween Shirley Rossmore (Alice Elem ing and John ,Burkett Ryder CMr. Ince), ending in the girl getting the best of the man whom no one prev iously could tame.
 Interesting as the battle is on the stage, there. is another battle of wits being waged behind the scenes with Miss Fleming playing the role of Alice Fleming and the John Burkett Ryder in the other instance being Resident Manager Garvey of the theatre.
 The battle originated over vehicle that has caused all sorts of trouble prior to nOw-an automobile.
 It seems that Miss Fleming, an en- thusiastic motorist. recently purchased an Interstate automobile in this city and spends all of her time except when engaged at the theatre in rehearsing or playing. of course excepting sleep ing time, in touring about the nearby country in her new purchase. This was all right as far as the house man. agement was concerned. but when Miss Fleming read that the Snake Hill climb on Decoration Day would not be prevented by the courts she immed- lately notified President Rantz that she desired to enter her car as a con- testant.
 Then the clash came. Resident

THE REPUBLICANS

Because the date fixed by the

June 8.
When the State Executive Com.

NEW SCHOOL LAW
NOW effective
Questions on Agriculture will be
Included in June Examina-
tiOnS, Teachers over State
Warned TO get Busy
On Adopted Text

The teacher who desires to teach
in the public schools of Arkansas
hereafter, barring the few weeks
intervening between this and the
third Sunday in June, must get
busy studying his agricultural prim-
er, for the new law requiring ele-
mentary agriculture and horticul-
ture to be taught in the common
schools has now become effective,
and the next examination questions
for teachers will contain questions
covering agricultural and horticul-
ture.
The law was made "effective" ten
months after its approval, which
would make the effective date about
April |. By an oversight, how
ever, that accompanies many statutes
in which subsequent requirements
are necessary to make the law really
effective, nothing was said as to
when the teachers were to qualify.
Under the law governing school
teaching in Arkansas, no teacher
may instruct in subject unless
having passed a satisfactory exam
ination on same, and of course no
certificate of qualification can be is
sued without an examination. AT
the time the law became effective
the time had just passed for the last
quarterly examinations of teachers,
so that no examinations can now be
held in the subject until the next
regular examinations, June 1917.
