Sec. Ludwig Prepares Old statehouse for General Assembiy-NeW Cap
 itol Will Be Ready.

Secretary of State o. c. Ludwig, | who is custodian of the statehouse, has announced that he will prepare the hall of the house of representa- tives and the senate chamber for the meeting of the General Assembly on January 9. He proposes to have both rooms thoroughly renovated, the chairs and desks placed in position as they have been since the year 1863, when the territory of Arkansas was admitted as a state to the feder- al union. He says he does not pro pose to deviate one jot or title from the precedent set by his predecessors in office. He will put in proper con dition the two halls of the legislature in the old statehouse for the meeting of the body as the law directs, and then it will be up to the legislature as to whether it will meet there or not. The work of renovating the old building will begin December 20.
 In speaking of Secretary Ludwig's action Governor Donaghey said:
 Secretary Ludwig is custodian of the statehouse. Any arrangements that he may make around the old statehouse are entirely his own af- fair As chairman of the capitol commission it is my duty to have the new capitol ready for the occu- pancy of the legislature. This will be done. It will then be up to the members of the legislature to decide where they wish to convene

Plen- ty of room is what is needed for an institution of that kind, he thinks With hospital with such surround ings as the board proposes, he said, the tuberculosis patients could be segregated and other patients could be classified and kept separate from the others, while those who are able to work could raise the products nee essary for the partial support of the institution.
