Senate Kills Commission Govern meni
The Calvert bill which had passed
the house, providing for commi ssion
form of government in cities of 5000
to $4,000 population, was killed ia the
senate by indefip'i postpone ment
after it had beeS. --ended SO as to in
clude Little RocK SenatoT Keel of
fered an amendmeS~ providing that
Alderman Chris Le6~7dge should be q
member Of the cGs1S- ssion during the
life OF the act Hs said that Chris
Ledwidge is the m~~t prominent man
In Little Rock and ~'ct if any change
is made in the fJrm or the city gov
ernment he was entitled to perma-
nent position so that he might contin-
ue to manage its affairs. If the gen.
eral assembly of Arkansas is to give
Little Rock a commission form of gov
eminent, he said, it is no more than
right that we name one Of the COM
missioners, and we need Chris Led
widge on the commission to keep a
line on the other members, who will
likely be Republicans and Socialists.
Senator Covington, in concluding the
debate, bitterly assailed the princi-
pies Of commission form and declared
that the bill was prepared by one Of
the most prominent Republicans of
the state and that it did not contain
single principle Of Democracy. He
did not believe a majority of the Dem
ocrats in Little Rock or any other city
wanted to change their form of gov
c-nment and he was not in favor Of
consulting Republicans and Socialists
on the subject.

Hurst.srsdham Revenue Bill.


The -Bradham revenue bill
which has passed the house had a
rather rocky road in the senate for a
while when the measure was brought
up for consideration in that body.
Senator Holland, chairman OF the SEN
ate judiciary committee, made a mo-
tion to table the bill, which failed, and
then Senator Keel moved to indefi-
nitely postpone, which also failed, and
discussion of the merits of the bill
followed. Among the important fea.
lures of the measure are that all
property shall be listed for taxes at
its full value, instead of only so per
cent, as is the present custom, there
by assuring a more equitable distri-
button of the burdens of taxation
among the wealthy and the poor peo-
pie When all taxable property is as.
sessed at full value the levy can be
lowered by reason of the, increased
volume Of assessed valuation, thereby
tightening the burden on the small
property owner, who, as a rule, lists his
property for taxes as much nearer its
true value now than the holders Of
large interests, such as railroads,
banks, etc. as well as of lcads being
held for speculation. Another feature
provides that appeals for the lowering
Of assessments shall be taken before
the state tax commission instead OF
before the county court, as at present
Senators Covington, Martin, CarlLee
and Clerget spoke in favor of the bill
while Senators Holland, Keel, White
and Friedell spoke against it,

Urge Agricultural Training

Hon. George A. Cole, president Of
the State Farmers Union, and H. S.
Nobley, lecturer and organizer of
boys corn clubs in Arkansas, ad-
dressed the house in response to an
invitation by that body. Mr.. Cole said
he thought the state had no better
law than that requiring agriculture
to be taught in the common schools
of the country, but he thought it
should he carried further and provide
plot of ground to be utilized by
each school for experimental work
He gave as a cause for the failure Of
many agricultural schools the fact
that they have at their head literary
men instead of practical farmers, and
pointed out the distinction between
the book method and the scientific
way of teaching agriculture. He
called attention to the fact that one
fourth of the people produce the food
consumed by the other three-fourths,
and declared that it is to the interest
of the majority that the farmer be ed
ucated to the highest possible stand
ard of perfection in his line of indus
try. He declared that unless our
farmer boys are trained in their call
ing our land will soon go into the
hands Of aliens, many of whom are
scientific farmers. Without proper
equipment of our agricultural schools
he said, our boys and girls will drift
into the literary schools, which do not
fit them for practical vocations. NJ
Mobley called attention to the t7.c
kinds of education, the classic and
the avocational The classic educa-
ton, he said, fits no one for the prac-
teal side of life, while those espe-
cially trained in any pursuit, ever
though with limited literary educa
tion, are the ones who succeed. He
reviewed the work of the boys corn
clubs as an educational factor which
is having a potent influence for the
uplift of the farming industry in Ark
ansas, and appealed to the legislators
to not graft literary branches upon
the agricultural schools of Arkansas.

Fight Agricultural Appropriation Bill.

Fight Agricultural Appropriation Bill
Representative Kersh Of Union is
waging a vigorous warfare against
the Turner bill, which has passed the
senate, carrying an appropriation Of
$495,0O0 for the four agricultural
schools of the state. Mr.. Kersh says
he has no objection to that part Of
the bill which provides for the main
tenance of those worthy institutions,
but it is an item of $27,50O contained
in the bill to finish paying the $4,000
bonus which Jonesboro subscribed in
order to secure the school which is
located at that place, that he is OBJ
iecting to. He contends that Jones'
boro should come across and pay the
full amount of the bonus herself, just
as the towns did where the other
schools are located. He therefore in
sisted that this item of $27500 be
stricken from the bill and the re-
mainder pro rated equally among the
four schools in the state.

EWING CASE IS OVER.
Jury Expected to Return a Verdict
This Evening.

Argument by the attorneys in the
Nan Ewing murder case is on in the
district court this morning. The
jury is expected to get the case and
return a verdict before they are re-
leased by the court today.
County Attorney Simon closed the
Introduction of evidence by calling DR..
w. S. Lindsay, an insanity expert, in
rebuttal of medical testimony by the
defense. While the state had sum-
animation was regarded as delay to
trial which has already taken four
days of the courts time, and therefore
dispensed with.
Only one of the medical witnesses
for the defense claimed to be an, sex-
pert. He was DR.. E. S. Pettyjohn.
Hence, the state was satisfied with
placing one expert opposite him. This
position DR.. Lindsay took in decided
manner. He declared Nan Ewing, or
rather the person involved in the hy-
pothetical question, was sane. The
expert testimony amounted, therefore,
to two conflicting medical statements
and the jury is left as the referee.
Upon the close of the testimony,
Judge A. w. Dana gave the jury a
long list of instructions and the attor-
neys elected to talk two hours on
side.
Murder in the first degree or man
slaughter in the fourth degree or ac-
quittal are the three possible findings
of the jury under the Instructions of
the court.
If they find that Nan Ewing deliber-
ately gave. Joseph Rice morphine for
the purpose of killing him, then they
will send her to the penitentiary for
life for murder. If they find that she
gave him morphine with the desire
1only to relieve his illness and negli
gently gave him enough to produce
his death she will be sent to jail for
manslaughter in the fourth degree.
But if they find she was insane from
the use of morphine and could not be
responsible for the act, or that in truth
she gave him no morphine whatever,
but that Rice died from other causes,
then of course, they will send her
away free.
James A. Mcclure, assistant county
attorney opened the argument for the
state with a concise statement of the
history of the case and the evidence
from the beginning. Hugh Mcfarland
led off for the defense outlining the
defense and the weaknesses in the
states case. George McDermont will
close for the defense and County a
torney Simon for the state.
