WAITED FOR BURGLAR
Little Rock Man Shoots Intruder, Who Escapes After Leaving Trail
 of Blood.

Little Rock. March "A fter being shot and apparently ser iously wounded by Arthur L. Rodgers while attempting to loot the home of the latter, an uu- known burglar left trail of blood for eight blocks and then disap- peartd completely, leaving no clue for the police to work upon. At the corner of Ninth and Arch streets, where the bloody trail ends, big pool of blood and a h udkerchief completely saturat- ed, were found. Then the trail euded.
 After an examination of the pool and the tracks of the would be robber, the city detectives de- clared that it seemed impossible { rat the man could have gone fur tier unaided after losing so much blood.
 The man was shot by MI. Rogd- CTS as he was stealthily making his way into the room where the latter slept. MT. Rodgers WAS awakened about 2:30 o'clock yes terday morning by the slam ming of door, which was followed quickly by the sound of some one retiring from the house. MT. Rodgers remained quiet and eau tiously investigated, thinking that the burglar would return if he thought no one had been awakened.
 In few minutes he heard the
 man stealthily approa ching the same door. While waiting MT. Rodgers had secured a small Der.
 ringer revolver, which he had in
 the room, and placed himself in a position to get a good shot. Then as the intruder opened the door he fired. The man cried out and ran.

4 FRANK ADMISSION
sFNAToR DAVIS OF ARKANSAS TO GET AFEE IF CERTAIN
 BILL PASSES.
TRIED TO CHANGE THE RECORD
House Committee on Public Lands Re. fused to Allow the Senator to Alter the stenographic Report of It's Meet inos-Has Violated the Law.

Washington, Mar. 4.-Senator Jeff Davis of Arkansas, who has thundered in inc senate against corporation and graft and who has preached the doc trine of civic and political purity con. fessed 10 the house committee on pub. uc lands he had received a fee and would receive more on the passage of inc Arkansas sunk land" bill, now under consideration by the commit tee
 The bill is drawn to quiet title to about 100 900 acres of swamp lands in the eastern part of Arkansas, over which there is dispute Of ownership between the United States, Arkansas, inc St. Francis Levee board and set Hers on the land. who claim title.
 Representative Oldfield of Arkansas introduced the bill in the house at the request of Senator Davis, who said that Senator Clarke of Arkansas also approved the bill Recently Senator Davis appeared before sub-com- mi.tee of the house committee in ad. yocaey of the bill. The stenographic report of that meeting contains the following:
 "Senator Dayis:-I confess there is inst that much of selfishness in it to me because there is good fee if can recover the price of that timber. I do not care where 1t gees, to Arkansas or the St. Francis Levee Board, but I would rather 1t would not go to the ct. Francis Levee Board"
 The committee met to receive Sena- tor Davis revised copy of the steno- graphic report. It was discovered that the senator had cut out that DOT ton confessing he was to receive a fee and had inserted:
 q am attorney for the St. Francis Levee Board for the recovery of this timber"
 There was disposition on the part of the committee to challenge this al. teration.
 Chairman Mondell asked: What is your recollection of what you said?"
 Senator Davis: Just as it now ap pears in the corrected copy
 Chairman Mondell: My recollection does not agree with that"
 NIT. Robinson; Is 1t contingent fee or an absolute fee you are to re- ceive on passage Of this bill?"
 Senator Davis: 'I have an absolute fee as well as contingent fee"
 Representative Oldfield said the bill had been introduced by him at the re- quest of Senator Davis. After intro ducing the bill, MT Oldfield had tried unnecessarily to withdraw it.
 The committee after a lengthy ex- ecutive session, declined to permit Senator Davis to revise his remarks SO that there should he material change. He was permitted to make al- terations in ycrbiage only. The orig inal stenographic report will be print ed in the committee records.
 "Tt is the opinion of some senators that Senator Davis has violated crim. inal statutes. Senator Burrows says that Senator Davis cannot be reached under the statutes invoked against Senator Mitchell of Oregon, or Burton of Kansas. but that he has violated a general law.

DONAGHEY MADE
 CONVINCING TALK
Replied in Detail to Charges Against His Administration How He Releas- ed Confederate Pensioners Money
 -Grafters Displeased.

When Governor Donaghey spoke at the court house at o'clock Thursday afternoon every seat in the auditorium and ali stand. ing room was occupied. Many people were turned away, unable to gain entrance to the hall. Many country people were in town to bear the governor.
 MT. Douagheg spoke for over an hour and half and was given closest attention and much ap- plause. He did not mention his opponents name during the speech, but replied to every cam paign charge and said that the only trouble was that there was a political ring h the state capi- tai fighting him because in his business administration this ring could not work it's graft.
 The governor said he had been given Sl75,000 to tear out rotten work in the capitol building. He had done the work for SIPS, ,0OO and left the remaining $50, 900 in the treasury. Such conduct as this the ring did not like.
 In building the state capitol and taking it out of politics, he had appointed one Republican on board iu same spirit of fairness that caused the legislature to provide for one Republican as election judge in each precinct. He said that Senator Clark, while governor, had put RemmeI on the State Charity Board and at the same time had appointed w. M. ksvanaugh as sheriff, who at once sent to Kentucky for his brother 10 come and serve as a deputy, aud that neither one of them had eyer been heard blam- ing Clark for his act
 He replied to the charge that he had vetoed the Confed dera te peSsion bill, saying that it had never been presented to him, but was pigeonholed by the clerk in the senate. But when the audi tor spoke to him of the matter, he told him to issue the pension money, and if ''you get in trouble I'll pardon you" He said that his efforts for a tax commission added 9 million dollars to the Pu- laski county tax assessment, which gave $12,00 more to the pension fund. The commission added $50, 1000, 900 10 the tax as- sessment, which meant SIS, 1000 added to the pension fund and $500, 900 to the school fund.
 The governor said he had cut appropriations because he was compelled to do so or put the state on scrip basis. He cut $50, ,000 off University. but they had had enough to add new teach CTS and increase salaries and meet all expenses. He had cut blird school appropriation, but they still had S466 year for esch stu dent in the school. H ought this enough, consid rag hat the inmates of the Maspgic and Odd Fellows orphan h ms at Bates vile were ma'ute med on less than half this sun.
