It has been intimated that the defense will ask for continuance until the fall term District Attorney John l.

House Passes Ena blino Act.

The Pipkin enabling act to the ini. tiative and referendum, was passed by the house, after an amendment, proposed by Representative Hardage. had been defeated The amendment provided that those who may insti- ute petitions for the enactment or re. peal of laws. shall deposit with the state treasurer sufficient money to cover the legal cost of advertising the measure to be voted on. If the proposition carries, the cost would be paid by the state, but in case of its failure the deposit by the petitioners would go to pay the expense. MT. Hardage explained that the purpose ot the amendment was to keep people from running the state to unneces. sary expense in proposing foolish and undesirable laws, as they would be more careful to find that a measure would meet with favor in advance if they knew the cost would fall on them in case of it's failure to meet approval Of majority.

Steel Probe to Be Deeper.

Washington-Because of what are said to be marked discrepancies ill the narratives of the absorption of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Com pany by the United States Steel Cor poration in the panicky days of 1907, as given by John w Gates and Ebert H. Gary, the Stanley steel trust in- vestigating committee of the house has determined further light on that deal must be obtained and that other wise every person who had anything to do with 1t must be examined.
 The committee is again considering the necessity of summoning former President Roosevelt and former Sec retary of State Elihu Root for veri. fieation of the conferences with Messrs. Gray and Prick on the Tenn essee transaction

Senate Resumes Normal State.

On Monday, June D, the senate was convened at the regular hour, with President Toney in the chair and with no apparent desire on the floor to dispute his right to preside. When the journal of Saturday was read, Senator Christian made a motion to have it show that the senate con vened at 10 o'clock instead of 1I:4j. as recorded. Senator Watson offered as substitute motion to approve the journal as written, which carried by vote of 19 to II. Then Senator Fletcher moved to have the journal show that on Saturday the senate ad Journed at 40 instead of at 1:4O, as recorded. This motion the chair held out of order on the ground that the senate had already passed upon the hour of converting, which also sus- tained the record as to the hour of adjournment. The decision of the ehalr was appealed from, but was sustained by vote of 21 to 9. Thus ended all contention incident to the instruction, and the senate got down to regular business.

CORN CROPS BEGIN TO SUFFER
lona-Continued Drouth Is Having Ef. feet, Say Agricultural Experts.


 Little Rock.-On account of the re cent dry weather and the heat, the corn throughout the state is begin ming to show signs of damage, ac- cording to the reports of the agri. cultural commissioners of the Iron Mountain. They say that the corn that was planted early enough to get a good start before the dry hot weather set in. is not injured, but the late corn is beginning to roll up and wilt. This, however, is not thought to indicate any great injury, but it is stated that if the dry weather con tinues two weeks longer the Arkan- sas corn crop will be short.
 It was stated that the fact that the farmers this year are devoting more time to the cultivation of the crop mas saved the corn to a great extent In former years it is stated that the corn has been neglected on account Of the cotton and was not plowed more than once or twice during it's growing season. This year the agri- cultural men say the farmers have worked their corn ground as much as possible, and the soft dirt on the surface has held the moisture much longer than where it was not properly tended

House and Senate Deny Right of Veto
 Apropos the governors veto of a concurrent resolution ratifying the proposed income tax amendment to the federal constitution, both the senate and house passed resolutions denying the right of the governor to interfere in matters between the peos pie of Arkansas and the federal con stiution. Following is the senate res olution adopted as offered by Senator Rodgers of Benton, similar one of. fered by Representative Russell hay ing passed the house:
 Whereas, the General Assembly of the state of Arkansas, in regular ses- sion did adopt and ratify the pro- posed amendment to the constitution of the United States permitting con gross to levy an Income tax without reference to the source from which derived; and,
 Whereas. said ratification is effec. tive without the approval of the gov ernor. which said approval is not re quired by law, and,
 Whereas, said resolution was im- properly submitted to the governor and by him vetoed without any au- thority for so doing; therefore, be it
 Resolved, by the senate, the house concurring therein, that copy of said resolution attested by the president and secretary of the senate and the speaker and chief clerk of the house be delivered to the secretary of state and he be authorized and directed to attest the passage of the resolution and to seal the same with the great seal of the state of Arkansas; be it further
 Resolved, That the secretary of state be and is hereby directed to for ward same when so attested and sealed to Hon. P. C. Knox, secretary of state, Washington, D. C."

 priations.
 Just as the twenty-day limit of time which the governor can hold up bills was about to close, Governor Dona- ghey applied his pruning knife to the appropriation bills passed at the regu- lar session, also using the veto mallet to knock other measures in the head: possibly taking the charitable view that 1t would be better to let those measures die in birth than to run the risk of developing into vicious lives as they grew older. The aggre. gate reduction in the appropriation bills. as cut out by scores of items, amounts to $i60,000 in all.
 Almost every institution and state office is affected in the cutting out of important items Of these, the University and the four agricultural schools are the hardest hit Of the acts vetoed in toto are An act amend ing the anti trust law An act deal ing with assessments in the St. Fran cis leeve district. An act providing for state highway from Little Rock to Pine Bluff. and joint resolution ratifying the proposed amendment to the federal constitution providing for an income tax

Another amendment, seeking to oust H. l.. Remmel from the capitol commits sion and put in his place either Sec. retary of State Hodges, Treasurer J. W. Crockett or Attorney General Hal Norwood, provoked lively discus sion. The amendment was offered by Senator Covington, who said he did not see how Democratic senators could refuse to put one of the state officers, chosen by the Democrats of Arkansas, in the place of Repub- lican who is leader of an organization In Arkansas that has sought to as- sassinate democracy. Senator Rainey said that while he had no objection to MT. Hodges nor particular fondness for Mir. Remmel, yet he wished to remind the senator from Johnson that the war was over in 1865 and in his opinion we ought to let bygones be bygones. The amendment lost, 15 to II, and Remmel remains
