State Capitol
 News Notes
THINKERS WALK OUT AT THE
 STATE CAPITOL.
Attempt to Substitute Non-Unior Men May Mean a General
 Strike.

Thirteen timers empfoyed on tho state capitol building walked out Thursday afternoon, OF orders from the St Louis union, following the re- fusal of the Kaufman Heating S5 En- gineering Company, d St. Louis firm, having the capitol contract, to grant a raise of 90 cents day A num- Der of timers are expected from Ok lahoma to work for the St. Louis finn, and it is stated by the strikers that under the rules of the union the newcomers will have to join the Nalkout
 The strike is entirely the result of trouble between the St. Louis firm and the St Louis local No. 36 of the bers of the Little Rock union who are employed on the building did not join in the strike, but will do so III the event that non-union timers are set to work with them. Three steam filters, who work for the Kaufman Heating & Engineering Company, sympathiZe with the timers in their strike, it is said and Foreman Hamil- ton says the strike is bound 70 in clude the steamfitters, eventually, if the demand of the timers is refused.
 This is the second strike of tin ners employed on the state capitol building. Timers struck about three months ago, forcing the contractor to sign up with the union.

Gov. ponaehey May Run for Senate

That Governor George w Donag- hey will announce his candidacy for the United States senate immediate ly after the state convention IS held is the report now going the rounds in state political circles. As yet. the governor has made no statement as to the truth of the reports that he will oppose the renominaton of United States Senator Jeff Davis, but some of his friends openly declare that he will make the race. It is be- lieyed now that the governor will wait until after the state convention is held in this city next week before making any announcement as to his plans.
 Several announcements of import ance are expected during or after the state convention. Some import ant shifts in legislative candidacies may be made during the state con yention, it is predicted and it is also believed that R. F. Milwee of Clar- endon will announce as a candidate for speaker of the next house, either during or immediately after the state convention. There are a num- Der of candidates for speaker of the house and other legislative positions among the members of the next leg islature, and it is expected that some of the races will nass through a thinning process in caucuses and conferences slated to be held during the convention. The various new state officials who are to take office the first of next year are also ex- pected to make the announcement of their clerical forces during the con vention. Thus far, but little interest has been displayed in the convention, although only short time off. The present indications are that the con- vention will not be marked by any great strife over any question.

SPECTACULAR FIRE
 AT TEXARKANA
TANKS OF INTERNATIONAL GRE
 OSoTING COMPANY EXPLODE.
The Tanks Contained 125,OOo Gallons of Creosote and Explosion Shook
 Entire City-Loss, $5,0O0.

TeXarkana.-With a roar that fairly shook the foundations of TeXarkana tank containing thousands of gal Ions of creosote at the plant of the International Lumber & Creosoting Company, two miles west of town, exploded shortly before midnight. A total of 125,000 gallons of the val uable fluid, together with IS carloads of ereosoted crossties and large quantities of raw material, were de. stroyed. It was at first reported that the less would reach nearly $S00000, but later investigation revealed the fact that despite the spectacular fea- lures of he conflagration the actual loss will not reach above $5,00O.
 There was only one man in the i'm mediate neighborhood of the plant at the time of the explosion, and he escaped injury. He was watchman and was on the side of the building farthest away from the tank which first exploded.
 The explosion is supposed to have been caused by leak in one of the tanks. The creosote, a highly eXplo- sive substance, is believed to have flowed down an incline into an en- zine room, where it ignited. Burn ing with great rapidity, the stream of flame from the engine room was swiftly carried to the tank and the entire contents let loose with @ roar
 Three tanks, containing 125,000 gallons of creosote, exploded almost simultaneously, and the glare of the burning oil lighted up the whole of TeXarkana.
 The many sheds in the yards of the plant, saturated with creosote. were quickly in flames. The fire spread with great rapfdity, but a lucky wind kept it away from the main building, which was saved.
 The fact that ereosote had been al- lowed to flow in the yards of the plant is held responsible for the loss of the IS carloads of finished cross ties On a sidetrack near the plant The fire was carried across the ground and quickly ran to the cars. In few minutes after the first eX- plOsion they were a mass of flames. The plant was constructed only re- gently and had been in operation less than two weeks. About 150 men are employed and they will be thrown put of work temporarily.

Crosby Gets Life Sentence.

Henry Crosby of Mississippi coun- ty has received a sentence to the penitentiary for life, the sentence be- ing imposed in the only manner pos sible under the Arkansas law-that is, by communication Of a death sen tence by the governor. Crosby was under sentence of death for murder in Mississippi county, the verdict having been returned against him May 10. It appears that the jury, prosecutor and court were of the opinion that capital punishment was too severe, but they wanted to re- turn a verdict of first degree murder 1t was finally decided to. .return such verdict, with the understanding that the governor would reduce the pun ishment to life Imprisonment, which he did Under the Arkansas crim- inal code 21 years is the maximum sentence on one count for second de- gree murder, and there is no alterna- tive for hanging in first degree murder.

SeVen-MiII Tax Generally Voted.

From returns reaching the depart ment of education it appears that at the recent school election the vote for the full limit of seven-mill tax was much more general than at any preceding election. Deputy Superin- tendent Bond states that practically every city or town of any importance that has reported shows a strong ma iority for the seven-mill tax-a fact which the department regards as in accord with the increased interest and standards of efficiency required of teachers themselves In many cases, too, the vote on bonds for school improvement purposes carried by overwhelming maiorities, another cause of congratulation in view of the hard work being done to arouse general interest in the school i'm provement movement.

AHeQe Law Is Invalid.

Attorneys for Dr. A. s. McCrary of Little Rock, who is contesting the right of the State Medical Board to revoke his license as a practicing physician, have filed an abstract and brief in the case in the supreme court setting up the grounds of un- constitutionality alleged against the flaw authorizing the medical board to revoke license. The case is to be submitted to the supreme court on June IS. Dr. McCrary was charged with unprofessional conduct as a physician, and an attempt made by the medical board to revoke his li- cense, the board having this privil- ege according to statute passed two years ago. He secured a tenn porary injunction against the board in the Pulaski county circuit court. but on a hearing for a permanent injun ction that court sustained the law creating the boards revoking power The case was then appealed to the supreme court.

LITTLE ROCK HIGHLY PRAISED
The National Provisioner Pays Many
 Compliments to Arkansas.

SCn1piifnCHIS 10 AFkdnSdS.
 Little Rock-Lavish praise of the hospitality of Little Rock and Of the treatment of the cottonseed crushers at their meeting here recently is given by the National Provisioner, a weekly trade magazine published at Chicago and New York. The maga- zine gives a complete report of the proceedings of the convention and prints in full all the papers delivered at the meeting.
 The National Proyisioner begins it's story by saying:
 If atmosphere has anything to do with it, then the Interstate Cotton seed Crushers' Association was for tunate in the selection of Little Rock. Ark, as the place for holding it's fourteenth annual meeting. Little Rock, like the state of which it is the capital, appears to be entering upon a new era of enterprise and prosperity, with boundless possibili- ties ahead for development. The at mosphere is permeated with a spirit of energy and optimism, which ap- pears to affect everyone coming with in it's limits. This may account in a measure for a new lease of life which the association appeared to take on with the holding of this Little Rock convention. From what visitors to Little Rock heard, there is nothing that cannot be produced in Arkansas, and nothing impossible of accomplish ment there. Absorbing this spirit of indomitable enthusiasm, men in the cottonseed products industry began to think there was nothing impossible in their own industry.
 'The hospitality of the South is proverbial, and visitors to the con ventions of the cottonseed crushers are sure of getting their full meas ure. But on this occasion they ex- perienced Southern hospitality of the Arkansas brand, which is triple plated and then some morel The welcome given and the good times offered the visitors were of a sort that even the Southerner used to such things will not soon forget"

Says Laws Are Too Adverse.

In rendering to the secretary of state it's charter as a corporation, the stockholders of the Occidental Land Company of Little Eock gave an un- equivocal reason as follows:
 ''Whereas, On account of the fact that there are no particular advan- tages to be obtained by continuing as corporate organization, and on account of the many fees and taxes that are now required of corporations in this state, it is deemed advisable to liquidate the affairs of the cor. poration."

 Joe r. Robinson.
 Although Congressman Robinson is the first to announce his intention O, opposing Senator Davis for re-elec- ion, it is generally. believed among state politicians that Governor Geo. w.

NEW TRUNK LINE IN STATE.
Only Two Small Gaps Left Between
 Fort Smith and Little Rock.

Little Rock.-With the granting by the state board of railroad incorpora- tion Of a charter for the extension of the Fort Smith, Subiaco X Eastern railroad. another link was provided for in what it is believed will event ually be another through line from Little Rock L. Fort Smith and prob ably a part of some one of the big railroad systems of the country.
 The charter just granted provides for the extension of the Fort Smith, Subiaco & Eastern road from it's present terminus at Scranton to Dar- danelle When this extension is com pleted, there will be an almost con- tinuous line of small roads extending from Little Rock to Fort Smith. There will be but two small gaps, and railroad men who are in a po- sition to know believe that the Santa Fe, the Frisco or some other big sys- tenn operating in Oklahoma or touch ing Fort Smith, will eventually take over all these short lines and thus gain entrance to Little Rock.
 The Fort Smith, Subiaco & East ern road is now in operation from Paris to Subiaco, a distance of 5.71 miles, and is rapidly completing an extension from Subiaco to Scranton. All of the line built so far is in Lo- gan county. The extension from Subiaco to Dardanelle will be 23 miles long.

Hurry Work on Beebe Camp Ground


 Arrangements have been made to put the new permanent encampment ground at Beebe in shape for encamp- ments at once. It has been decided that the new rifle range on the per manent camp ground should be ready by July 1, in order that that range may be used during the two weeks of rifle shooting over the state. 1t was further decided that all the worK mapped out at a recent conference should be completed by July l. Tie guard will spend $2,000 at once, get ting the ground into shape. Among other things, it has been definitely decided to build a modern ,00O-yard rifle range on the ground, and all details in connection with the con structiOn of the range were decided upon. A concrete wall feet hign and 100 feet long will be erected at one end of the range. The targets will be operated above this wall, ana the men operating the targets will work behind it. There will be no target pits on the range In front of the concrete wall will be an em- bankment of dirt, 24 feet through at the base and six feet at the top. This embankment will be sodded later. A concrete walk will be built behind the wall for the use of the men operating the targets. The lat est pattern of targets will be secured for the range Instead of the present revolving pattern, new shift target will be secured. While one target is up above the sky line being shot at, the other is down below the wall being dressed preparatory to replac- ing the other. The entire ground, consisting of nearly POO acres, is al ready fenced.
