the people of the state can act upon and initiate legislation, that the state is interested in reject ed laws that the state is inter ested in, so the people of mu- nicipality and of county can initiate legislation within their own territory and reject meas ures that affect them alone.
 Now, to my mind, that is the easy and natural construction, and, my friends, that is the pur- pose of the law as understood by those who favor it. Do you know of anybody in this state who is asking for such construction as these opponents place upon it? Do you know of any group of people anywhere who are trying to free cities and counties from the effect of state laws?
 Nov, if you know of no peo pie anywhere who want this con- struction, if there are DO people anywhere asking for it, if this is the construction placed upon the law not by it's friends, but only by it's enemies, have you not right to suppose that the court will consider that and not accept a strained construction present- ed, not by the friends of the law. but by enemies of the law?
 But 1 will go further than that, if thought that your court could come to no other concluS. ion poi nted out, I would still be in favor of Amendment No 10. (Applau se.) Why? Because, my friends, you could amend that as quickly as the law would allow a petition to be presented It is in the power of the people to amend 1t, and it is an insult to the intel llgence of the people of Arkan- sas to say that they would sit idly, by and allow these disasters as pictured by your eminent law. yers to go on in this state, when they have it in their power to pass laws by initiative and ref erendum to stop these very things.
 The speech lasted for p min utes, and at 3:15 Mr. Bryan was placed in the car of Mrs. Louella Moncrief, and guided by her clever hands, the machine was Whirled back to the train, which immediately pulled out for Cur don, leaving many new converts to Amendment No. 10.

BRYAN SPEAKS FOR
 TWENTY-FIVE MINUTES

The special train bearing MT. Bryan and party arrived in Pres colt from Hope this afternoon at 2:35 o'clock, and Mr. Bryan and Gonernor Donaghey were imme- diately ushered into the automo- bile of H. E. Bemis, and rushed to the park pavilion, where a crowd of several thousand peo- pie were waiting to here the dis tinguished speaker.
 He was introduced by Cover nor Donaghey and immediately began his address. The main feature of his talk was his argu- ment against the alleged joker" to Amendment No. 10, and on this subject said in part:
 The most important objection to Amendment No. 10 is to the language of one paragraph, and they say a joker" has been in serted. Let me read you the paragraph to which they refer.
 1.-The legislative powers of this state shall be vested in a Gen. eral Assembly, which shall con. sist of the Senate and House of Representatives, but the people of each municipality, each coun- ty and of the state, reserve to themselves power to propose laws and amendments to tlle constitution and to enact or re ject the same at the polls, inde- pendent of the legislative assem- bly,, and also reserve the power at their own option, to approve or reject at the polls any act of the legislative assembly,"
 Now, that is the paragraph to which most exception is taken, and these 40 lawyers construe that to mean that county or municipality may reject at the polls a part of the cons titution or
 statute, if they so desire.
 My friends, does not it occur to you that if these terrible things would come from that construction that there may be some other construction by which you could avoid them, and after reading this over, 1 reached the conclus- ion that there was very simple construction that the court could place upon it, that would give you this amendment and all that is wanted by those who favor it, and yet not open the gates to this terrible condition.
 And what is this construc- tion? The simple, plain, natural construction is, that when coun- ties and municipalities act they act upon the questions that con cern them and them alone: not that they can reject the act of a state; not that they can act for other parts of the state.
 The natural, the simple con- struction. and the construction which, in my mind, judge jus tice, court would place upon it, is that these words, however awkward they may be in their expression, simply mean that as

.SPITzER GETS TWO
YEARS IN PRISON
Says He Had to Go to Save
Sugar Men Higher Up

New York, Feb. 11.-Oliver S.
Splitter, former dock superintendent
of the Williamsburg refinery of the
sugar trust, who was found guilty of
conspiring to defraud the government
in the weighing of importations of
sugar, was sentenced to serve two
years in the federal prison in Atlanta,
by Judge Martin, in the criminal
branch of the United States circuit
court.
''The sugar trust made scapegoat
of me. 1t deserted me absolutely, it
pounded and ruined me after l served
it faithfully for twenty-nine years, %
said Splitter after sentence was pro-
nounced. In broken tones Splitter
bitterly arraigned the sugar trust,
saying that the government wanted a
victim and he was given. He declared
that he had to go to make those higher
up safe, and denied that he had even
the slightest knowledge of frauds a:
the docks.

The large house on what was for
merly the Hall property in the West
End now owned by Steven Keith was
badly damaged by fire Friday fore
noon. The reports of the fire tend to
show that the usual combination of
children and matches was responsible
for the blaze. The building was &C.
cupied b. two families. Mr.. Currier
and Mr.. Schoolcraft, who saved the
greater part of their household effects.
Schoolcraft was absent from home
and knew nothing of the fire till his
return at nine o'clock in the evening.
The ell of the house was practically
ruined and considerable damage re-
suited to the main part. both by fire
and water. The fire company did
good work in saving any part of the
building as the weather was inclement
and MIGRANTS are scarce in that local
ity. The building was fairly well in
sured.
