SAYS LAW WOULD
RAISE INTEREST
John NJ. Rose Declares that Passage
of the Note Assessment Would
Drive Capital From the
State.

Little Rock, May 30.--Local loan
agents stated yesterday that the bill
passed in the house last week seek
ing TO assess notes, mortgages and
other evidences OF credit, il it be-
came law, will have the effect OF
driving many loan companies from
the state. The opinion was ex-
pressed that the farmers of the
state would be more affected by the
passage of the measure than any
one else. IT was declared the farm
ers would be obliged to pay 10 per
cent interest on all money they bor-
rowed.
One clause in the deed of trust
of local agent reads as follows:
SHOULD this deed of trust, or the
debt thereby secured, or the inter-
est of the second and third parties
| in the land be taxed under any OF
the laws of the state of Arkansas
now or hereafter passed, then and
in that event all of the principle
debt hereby secured and accrued
interest and any unpaid advances
shall Immediately become due and
payable at the option of the holder
of any note hereby secured and
foreclosure by sale under the power
of the proceedings in court may be
had pricisely the same as if the
notes had become due at lapse OF
time."
This clause, with the words,
shall Immediately become due and
payable" in italics, is in the deed OF
trust given by John M. Rose &
Co., agents for companies having
millions of dollars invested in this
state, and Mr.. Rose stated yester-
day that this same clause is con-
tanned in the contracts made by
all loan and insurance companies
here without exception.

ASSAULT OF REBELS
ON DIAz FAILED
Large Force Attacks Deposed Pres
ident's Train Which Is Carrying
Him Out OF His Country, but
Is Repulsed by Guards

Vera Cruz, May 28.-General Por-
flrio Diaz and his party, compris-
ing Madame Diaz, Colonel Porflrio
Diaz and the latter's family, who
are Fastening out Of Mexico, left
Mexico City on a special train COM
posed of three sections for this
place yesterday. The first section
carried the Eleventh regiment OF
infantry, the presidential party was
in the second section, and this was
followed closely by the third sec
tion, carrying other troops.
When approaching Tepeyahualco
the party encountered 700 rebels.
The leading section of the train
pulled up and the federal troops
dismounted. After sharp engage
ment the federals defeated the in
surgents, who retired, leaving thir-
ty dead and box containing c0inittsaiinn n1l
pesos.
The federal troops, 300 strong,
registered three men wounded, one
probably critically.
General Diaz and his son, Colonel
Porfiro Diaz, arriving at the scene
of the engagement, descended from
their car and took part in the af-
fray. Senior Diaz experienced some
difficulty in preventing his troops
from pursuing the revolutionists.

TALKING ADJOURNMENT
Legislature Still Receiving New
Bills and Planning Adjournment,
but Making No Laws.

Little Rock, May 29.-Numerous
bills were considered in the House
today, but none passed. Laskey in
troduced bill repeating the law
authorizing the state capitol COM
mittee to employ 100 convicts on
the new capitol, but it was tabled
Owens introduced a bill to sell
the old state house grounds. The
point of order was raised on the bill
as to whether it could be intro
duced, and was taken under ad-
visement by the speaker. This same
disposition was made of the new
penitentiary bill by Davis, of Co
lumbia, which provided that con-
victs may be worked on road i'm
provement districts.
A bill appropriating $4,000 for
aid of the state fair was allowed
introduced, but was tabled later.
The bill to abolish the state capi-
toll tax was read the second time.
The Senate is considering a res
olution for adjournment sine die.
President Toney returned today
from Pine Bluff and says he finds
sentiment much against both the
Turner revenue bill and the House
bill taxing notes and mortgages. lie
says the measure would run capital
out of the state.

SCHOOL DISTRICT CASE
Chancellor Shaver Passes on Recent
Legislative Act Regarding Form
ing Special Districts

In Chancery court Monday a
question was sumitted to Judge j.
d. Shaver regarding the forming
OF special school districts for the
purpose of raising money for build
ing school houses.
The people of Hatfield and VIC
unity laid out and formed a special
district embracing certain territory
in that vicinity without regard for
|original common school districts.
Then people around Cove started
TO take the same action and in their
district proposed TO take a part OF
the territory covered by the new
district formed at Hatfield.
This caused confusion and the
matter was brought before Judge
Shaver. Judge Shaver held that
while the law stated that a special
district could be formed covering
any given territory, it evidently
was not intended TO work out a
territory disregarding the boundary
lines of the old common school dis
tricts, leaving various small frag-
ments Of these districts in de-
moralized condition.
Judge Shaver expressed the be-
lief that the intention OF the act
was to allow an established COM
mon school district the right to
transform itself into special
school district for the purpose of
voting bonds and borrowing money
for building purposes, but not TO
disturb other districts in doing so.
This was done in forming the Hat
field district.
Five other school districts were
disturbed and under Judge Shaver's
construction of the law the dis
trict will have TO be rearranged to
confirm TO the boundaries of the
old district unless the case should
be taken to the supreme court for
a higher ruling, which Judge
Shaver suggests should be done,
owing to the fact that the law was
not clear in its wording. But there
are old welI-established school
laws, however, which provide that
districts cannot be changed with
out the vote Of all the parties af.-
fected, and ii is the opinion of the
Chancellor that this new law is
not intended TO set aside the right
given the people in the old laws.
The case Of the State Bank OF
Grannis VS.. McCown, a suit in
volving an attachment under q
mortgage for 1880, was submitted
to Judge Shaver Monday morning
Senator Logan, cashier OF the bank
and w. M. pipkin, his attorney
we're both here from Little Rock
where they are attending the leg
isIature, in connection with the
case.

Both Polk County Lawmakers Here

Senator John p. Logan arrived IN
Mena Monday and with Representa-
tive w. NJ. pipkin has been attend
ing to matters in Chancery court
Representative pipkin left that aft
ernoon for Little Rock, while SEN
ator Logan went to his home at
Grannis, where he will probably re-
main several days. Neither one OF
the gentlemen expect the present
extra session to accomplish much
Mr.. Logan thinks there is little or
nothing more needed iii the way Q!
legislation, and that Governor Dom
aghey is exaggerating the condi-
tions. Mr.. pipkin thinks that the
House of Representatives has done
all it could in the face of the Sem
ate's action, and believes that the
Senate has not done its duty in vot-
ing down the House bills, such as
the Bradham- Hurst revenue bill,
and then failing to submit to the
House any reasonable substitute.

SENATOR ]. DAVIS
AGAIN TALKS ROUGH
Arkansas Senator Rebuhed Twice
in the Senate for Words Used i'm
His Discussion of the Lor-
inner Case.

Washington, May 30.--A virtual
agreement to refer the Lorimer
case to the Senate Committee on
Privileges and Elections with the
understanding that the committee
shall intrust the proposed inquiry
to a bipartisan and bi-Lorimer sub
committee of eight was effected in
the Senate yesterday.
Their suggestion is for the selec-
tion of a subcommittee TO be COM
posed of two Republican members
who voted for Lorimer in the last
Senate and two who did not, and of
two Democrats who voted for him
and two who did not, with the un-
derstanding that in case OF vote
on the admission of testimony, it
will be admitted.
Senator Davis Rebuked.
Advocating re-inquiry, Senator
JEFF Davis of Arkansas so expressed
himself as to call down two rebukes
from Senator Hepburn, who occu-
pied the chair. In contending that
Mr.. Lorimer knew his election was
brought about as a result Of bribery,
Senator Davis said:
If he did not know he is the big
gest ass that ever disgraced the
country; he is the biggest ass or the
biggest knove that ever came into
the Senate. A man would have
been a fool not to have known what
was going on"
Here the gavel descended, and the
Arkansas senator was informed he
had violated the rules regulating
reference to other senators.
Mr.. Davis recalled his words, ac-
knowledging they had been unwise-
ly chosen. But little later, after
saying that an inquiry was to be
had, whatever the form of the res
olution adopted, he exclaimed:
Poor old Lorimerl He has been
garroted; his ship has been scut-
tled--he's gonel"
The rule was again invoked.
Lets take another term" said the
Arkansas senator. Poor Lorimer
has been marrooned. He's out on
an island and the ship has passed
on"
Expressing an intention to vote
with the insurgents on this propo-
sition, he said to his Democratic
colleagues:
Il do not like to leave you fellows
and go with that crowd over there,
but I'm afraid I'll have to do it,"

LITTLE WAS DONE
THE FIRST WEEK
Special Session of Legislature Is
Thus Far Practically Barren of
Anything Accomplished-But
Three Bills Were Passed.

Little Rock, May 2s.-The first
weeks work of the extraordinary
session of the Thirty-Eighth Gen
eral Assembly closed yesterday aft
ernoon when the Senate, after re-
naming in session about ten min
utes, adjourned until Monday after
noon at 2 o'clock.
During the week thirty-two bills
were introduced in the two houses.
twelve in the Senate and twenty in
the House. OF this number seven
were ruled out of order because of
the subjects not being embraced
within the extra session call of the
governor, five in the Senate and
two in the House.
Three Bills Passed.
The Senate passed but one bill
during the week and the House
passed two. The bill passed by the
Senate is Senate bill No. s, by SEN
ator Oldham, providing the manner
OF levying the general revenue rate
of taxation. The two bills passed
by the House are House bill No. 9,
by Representative Glover, increas-
'ng the tax on the net receipts of
insurance companies, and House
bill No. II, by Representative Bel
lamy Jones OF Washington and Par
tain for the taxation of notes, mort
cages, etc.
No bill introduced in either hous,
and which has passed the BODY in
which It originated has been cor
sidered by the other.
