STATE CAPITOL OPEN 10 VISITORS WORK PROGRESSING FAST MORE ROTTEN CONSTRUCTION OF CALDWELL AND DRAKE
 IS UNCOVERED.

Little Rock, May 16.-For the pur- pose of allowing the people of Arkan- sas to get an insight into the way the new state capitol is being erected, the of visitors to the city dur ing the conventions of the Arkansas Retail Hardware Dealers Association, and the Arkansas Elks' Association, the contractors have agreed to maln- tain open house during the noon hour when the men are not at work.
 The visitors will see the entire north .wing laid off into rooms as it will appear when completed, the par ttons being in from sub-basement to committee rooms on the third floor. The partitions are in on the first two floors of the south wing. The plaster CTS have about half their work done and the marble setters are through with the marble about the basement stairway. The base on the first floor has also been set. The treads for the stairways will be put in place this week and then boxed over to avoid in- jury of the marble until the building is completed. The steel workers will be through with their contract by the first day of June, as agreed, though the steel which is yet to be raised is for the pinnacle of the dome, and the placing of this will be difficult and tedious. All of the bracing for the heavy steel has been put in place and riveted. The first shipment of stone and cement for the dome arrived Sat urday and the stone settlers will com mence their work this week. An ele- yator for the raising of concrete to be poured about the steel in the dome is now being erected, standing tall and straight in front of the building, about in height.

LITTLE ROCK HOPES
 TO GET FRANCHISE

Little Rock, May 16.-With Mont gomery fans supporting the team there very poorly, the chances of Lit tie Rock getting back into the league get brighter every day. Although it has been denied by those who claim to know what is going on in Little Rock in a sporting way, but evident ly do not, that negotiations are pro- gressing between Little Rock and Montgomery officials, the negotiations are going on just the same. The offer has been put to Montgomery, and a flat refusal sent back. A bit more sweetenng has been added and Mont gomery is now said to be considering it. The fans have been given to un- derstand that such an offer has been made and if the team is not better patronized, it will be accepted.

to go to his assistance.
The fire started on the top floor of

reached it. William Meyers was one
of the first to obey his fathers COM

The flames soon came near the men,
the smoke became thick and water
drenched them. All but Meyers left.
Then suddenly he realized he was cut
off.
Creeping to the elevator shaft, the

but there was no way to reach the
boy.

the Kendall family on the CaZadero
ranch, is, according to William Igiau,

Monday, declaring he had seen the Jap
anese and his woman companion on the
overland train which reached Ogden
late Saturday afternoon.

was drawn to the pair by their strange
actions on the train, and after reaching
Ogden he learned they had purchased
tickets for Gooding, Idaho. He de-
clares the features of the Japanese
tailed exactly with those of the pub

Wayman called the case of State Rep
resentative Robert E. Wilson, carged
with having been the distributor of the
alleged jack pot at st. Louis, in Judge
Honores court today.
If this was a ruse to get Wilson into
court so that he could be brought into

failed. Judge Honore postponed the
Wilson case until after the disposal of
the Browne case and refused to declare
Wilson's bond forfeit.

White, who alleged that Browne bribed
him to vote for William Lorimer for
United States senator, was resumed
before Judge Kersten. Attorney For
rest of the defense clashed with the
court in trying to get ''yes" or mo"

ton as to whether he expected to be
indicted on his confession that he had
accepted a bribe.
"I do not know" was Whites repeat
