NO ACTION TAKEN
 BY LEGISLATURE ON CONVICT QUESTION
GOVERNOR, IN SPECIAL MES. SAGE, URGES END OF
 LEASE SYSTEM.

Little Rock, March 29.-What shall have been employed under contract is the question that has been propound- ed to the legislature by the peniten- tiary board and the governor. And the legislature d oes not show any great willingness to attempt an an SWer.
 At meeting of the penitentiary board Governor Donaghey offered a resolution that, as the Reaves con tract for the employ of 200 men eX- pred March 24, their disposition be left to the legislature. General Nor wood offered a substitute that the men be continued under contract with w. L. Reaves. The substitute was voted down, to 2, Commissioner Phillips voting with General Norwood. The original resolution was then adopted by the same vote.
 At the afternoon session the gover- nor transmitted to each house a copy of the resolution embodied in a special message, in which he said:
 "I recommend that you immediately pass a concurrent resolution express 
 ing it as the sense of your honorable body that the practice of leasing out ronvicts to contractors be discontinued at once, and that you follow this reso- lution by the enactment of bill re- pealng the existing laws by which convicts are hired out to contractors and that you further provide that the
 abor of all convicts not needed on the state farm be given to such counties of the state as will pay all the eX- penses of maintenance of said con victs for the building of public high ways. By this method of employment the expenses for running the peni- tentary would be reduced more than two-thirds of the present rate. There would be no cause for furthe rdefcien- cy in the penitentiary fund and the communities of the state would get the direct benefit"
 Attempts in the house and senate to get the resolution up by Messrs. Hurt and Jacobson failed Their resolu- tions, which are identical, provided that the board should continue to make such disposition of the convicts as they might deem proper.

STORM DAMAGES
 ELECTRIC LINES

The heavy wind storm of yesterday and last night seriously crippled the electric light service in several parts of the city. About score of poles were blown down and in some sections of the city it was impossible to re- store the lines during the night. Su- perintendent Leverett stated today that he expected to give service as usual to each consumer tonight. The pole lines, he stated, are in a very bad condition, but now that the eoun- cil has made provision to secure funds for the purpose, he expects to have them in first-class shape within a short time

TWO FINED FOR
 FAST RIDING

Mayor w. H. Duncan yesterday aft ernoon assessed fines of $5 each against two defendants for fast and reckless horseback riding on the pub lie square. The mayor states that he intends to break up the practice of reckless horseback riding and driving on the streets by all parties and in- tends to strictly enforce the ordinan- ces of the city covering this offense.

The committee also reported that 1t had succeeded in financing warrants on the revenue of next year to the amount of $2,500, the two local banks agreeing to accept them at discount at the rate of per cent interest, in accordance with an appropriation made by the council last September for the purpose of installing sep crate street lighting circuit, rebuild ing the pole lines and otherwise inn proving the plant. In the street light ing system about 100 of the new tung- sten lights will be used and they will be arranged so that they can be cut off when not needed. A carload of cedar poles and a large amount of new and heavier wire will be used in recon structing the pole lines, and as soon as the improvements are completed the day service will be extended through out the city. It is also planned to in- stall an open water heater at the pow erhouse which will utilize the exhaust steam from the engines to raising the temperature of the water to the boil ing point, effecting an estimated sav- ing of 5 per cent on fuel.
 The street committee was authoriz- ed to open Mitchell street through the Jones and Harmed property in the Anderson addition, at a cost not to eX- ceed $25.
 A petition was filed by T. M. Jack son and others, asking that sidewalks be ordered laid along their property in the Anderson addition. Mayor Dun can referred the petition to a special committee composed of Aldermen Cole, Drummer and Hairston, and the com r1ittee was instructed to ascertain whether walks should be ordered in any other section of the city so that they could be included in the same ordinance when passed.
 R. L. Metcalfe petitioned the coun- cil to license him to operate boX-ball alley, the petition being on motion re- ferred to the improvement committee.
 Accounts amounting to $204.16, in- cludng $l55.35 for the car of street crossing stone just received, were al- lowed

ASKS FOR PART
 OF ROAD TAX
PETITION TOLECISLATURE CITY COUNCIL ADOPTS RESO- LUTON SEEKING THIRD
 OF REVENUE.

The city council at it's regular meet ing last night unanimously adopted a resolution asking Senator A. C. Mar tin and Representative W. w. Martin to secure the passage of bill requir- Ing that the county court eXpend one third of the revenue collected on the property within the city each year in the improvement of the city streets and bridges. The resolution recites that for many years the taxpayers of the city had been paying three-mill road tax, which now approXimates S2,- 300 a year, and that no part of this revenue has ever been spent within the city, the entire amount being ap- propriated for work in that part of the territory of road district No. 1, which lies outside of the city limits. It points that the city treasury will on account of the cost of improving the light plant and purchasing fire ap- paratus to be used in connection with the new waterworks system, and it is just that at least one-third of the road taxes paid by the people of the city should be used in the improvement of their streets. Copies of the resolu- ton, together with bill carrying out it's provisions, will be forwarded to Senator Martin and Capt. Martin by Mayor w. H. Duncan today.
 The question of cleaning up the city came in for good deal of discussion by the council, and it was tentatively agreed to fix a day in the second week in April for this purpose. As an aid to keeping the business part of the city cleaner Alderman w. ]. Grum- mer was instructed to order eight garbage cans to be palced at conven- tent points. These cans will be emp tied under contract of the city scav- enger without extra expense.

YEOMEN LODGE ORGANIZED.

Through the efforts of W. H. Crounse and c. S. Simmons, district managers, there has been organized a Homestead of Brotherhood of Ameri- can Yeomen in our city, with about 30 charter members. Their unique plan of insurance is steadily appealing to the sound thinking public as is shown by their stead growth. Their manner of creating their reserve and the way it is handled furnishes the Yeomen with flat rate of insurance, which is very satisfying when one reaches old age-Atkins Chronicle.

HENDRIX SHUT OUT
 BY OUACHITA TEAM

Tn the second game between Hen dIix and Ouachita the Conway boys were shut out by the Arkadelphia team, the score being to 0. Ouachita played errorless ball with the excep- tion of one little pebble made by Can non on a throw to first. Most of the first half of the game was played in a shower of rain, and the umpire had to stop the game three times during the second inning.
 Griffin pitcher his initial game for Hendrix, flaming only three men and allowing II hits. He used plenty of speed and good control, but has not been developed beyond this. Hendrix reached third only once during the game, in the fifth inning, when three men were walked.
 This game was the first won by Summons this season. The youngster twirled in unusually good form, allow ing but three singles.
