Little Rock, May f2.--Regardless OF
the fact that this is practically the
last day for work of the present
term Of the legislature, and with
many measures not acted upon, the
State Senate adjourned shortly aft
er noon today until tomorrow morn
ing.
This action was taken following a
hot wrangle over the bill which has
passed the House appropriatinp
S672,000 for the completion Of the
state capitol building.
Unless something unusual occurs
this defeats this measure and stops
all hope of the Senate passing any
more of the bills that have been
acted upon by the House, because
the last day of the session is never
devoted to the consideration of bills

FOREST FIRES ARE
TAKING HEAVY TOLL
Many Lives Lost and Hundreds OF
Miles of Timber Destroyed in
West Virginia - Mountains
Left Bare by the Flames.

BelIington, w. Va, May i5.-For-
est fires are raging over an area of
Barbour, Upshur, Tucker and RAN
dolph counties, and ten lives have
already been lost, according to ad-
vices received from points in the
fire swept sections
Along the Baltimore & Ohio and
Western Maryland railroads the
mountains are vast sheets of
flames, while fire fighters are work
ing desperately TO check the con-
flagration by back firing.
Neare Moore, Tucker county,
James voerner dropped dead from
fright when he found himself
hemmed in by flames. His body
was consumed. Last night Milton
Gregory was surrounded by the
flames near Buck Hammon and
burned to death. Both men were
fire fighters. This place has been
surrounded by flames for 4S hours
and in the Laurel mountains be-
tween here and Elkins every stick
of timber has been swept away.
Practically all work is suspended
in every town in the burned area
and workers are out fighting the
flames. 1t is estimated that 100000
acres of timber have been burned,
but the loss cannot be estimated
until the flames are checked so that
men may venture over the burned
area.

RESUME MONDAY, MAY z
Special Telegram to The Star.

| Special Telegram to The Star.
Little Rock, May f3.-Govcrnor
Donaghey at noon today issued a
proclamation calling an extra ses-
sion of the Arkansas Legislature.
This action was brought about by
the failure OF the Legislature to
transact business which in the gov
ernor's opinion and in the opinion
of many legislators and people of
the state were of great Importance.
The legislature adjourned today
with much unfinished business on
the calender. Principal among this
was the state revenue bill. The
state is bankrupt and the legislature
has passed number of bills appro-
lpriating large sums of money and
then adjourned today without pro-
viding any means OF getting the
money to supply the funds called
for by the appropriations. This
lcondition was brought about large
| ly by feeling of enmity between
the Senate and the House. The
House passed the Bradham-H Hurst
bill. 1t was measure prepared by
| the new tax commission and ap-
proved by the administration and
Iplaced the property for assessment
on its real value and reduced the
ltax rate, but it was claimed it would
have caught tax dodgers to such an
extent that the revenue would have
lbeen greatly increased without in
creasing the taxes on the poor man
and the man who has been honest
in giving in his assessment. After
spending a great deal of time on
this bill, the House passed it, but il
was promptly killed by the Senate.
| Then the Senate passed the Keel
bill, which placed in the power Of
the state auditor TO name the tax
rate according to the needs Of the
state. The House killed this bill.
In the closing hours of the ses-
sion, which went into history today,
Representative pipkin passed an
enabling act for the Initiative and
Referendum amendment, which the
Ipeople of the state adopted by big
majority at the last election. The
Senate thwarted the will of the peo-
pie of the state by failing to
pass this act putting into effect the
amendment passed by the people.
Governor Donaghey set the date
for the meeting of the extra ses-
sion for Monday, May 22-one week
from next Monday. In his call he
names as the matters to be consid-
cred:
The revenue bill.
The enabling act for the Initiative
and Referendum amendment.
The abolition Of the convict lease
system.
1t has been intimated that il Gov
ernor Donaghey called an extra
lsession he would also put in the
statewide prohibition measure
IThis was not mentioned, however
lin the extra session call.

REUNION VISITORS
FLOOD LlTTLEROCK
Grand Gathering Under Ideal Con-
ditions, but Too Many Came
Camp Shaver Filled Beyond
It's Capacity.

Little Rock, May i6.-Under what
The Commander-in-Chief, General
George w. Gordon of Memphis, pro-
nounces the most ideal conditions
ever planned, the national reunion
of United Confederate Veterans
opened here today.
The first general session was held
at the auditorium this morning,
where 5000 people heard the well
come from Governor Donaghey and
responses by General Gordon,
amidst strains of Dixie" and "The
Girl | Left Behind Me-"
The veterans attended in a body,
uniformed, and with each state
delegations position marked by
banners. Twenty states were rep
resented.
r.. G. Cave of st. Louis delivered
the annual oration this Afternoon.
Over $4,000 visitors are already in
the city, and an estimate based on
ticket sales by the Rock Island and
Missouri Pacific, is for a full at
tendance of f25,000.
Over 10000 veterans will be in
the line of parade Thursday, with
seventeen bands attending.
The opening attendance is exceed
ing all expectations, and the city is
already crowded to the limit.
The United Confederate Choirs of
America are feature, under the
leadership of Mrs. Grilf Edwards of
Portsmouth, Va.
I'VE are literally swamped. We
asked the veterans commanders to
notify us of the number of vet
erans who would ask free enter
tainment. We were notified of
1900 We were prepared for $500.
Now we have 1900 to entertain.
We have reached our limit. We
can entertain no more"
This was the statement of Judge
w. M. Kavanaugh, chairman of the
Executive Committee of the Re-
union OF 4 o'clock this (Tuesday)
I'VE are confronted by crisis" :"
said Judge Kavanaugh. "The crowd
exceeds our widest expectations.
I want to appeal to every public
spirited citizen of Little Rock to
appoint himself committee of one
to entertain the veterans and Wis
itors. Let us show that Little Rock
can rise to crisis.
by doubling up at Camp Shaver
we were able to provide lodging
for 1000 last night" said the judge.
Last night we fed $500 In the
Kramer school we provided free
entertainment for 600; in the Pea
body school 1900 We have rented
every cot we could find"
Judge Kavanaugh spent the en-
tire night working at Camp Shaver.
The present condition of affairs,
it is reported, is to a large extent,
that many applications have been
made for free entertainment by
veterans who are able to pay for
Accommodations. One case is re-
ported Of high officer. who is said
to be millionaire, having demand
ed free Accommodations. Several
other cases were reported of vet
erans having slipped their wives in
to the tents, which is contrary to
the orders of the committees. Sew
eral cases of young men slipping
into the tents of the old veterans
were also reported.

| ment is pP0Diematical. Unuer the
provisions of the constitution the
session must continue until the
measures set forth have been con-
sidered, after which, by two-thirds
vote of both houses the session can
be continued not longer than Is
days.
Expect Long Session.
This means, unquestionably, a
long program, some members say
ing two and others four months,
while some say: "We'll be here
till frost" Nearly every matter re-
ferred to in the proclamation came
up in some form in the session just
closed and members say they are
not likely TO change their minds
because of the extra session.
The governor plainly intimates
that he will veto all present ap-
preparation bills, which means all
will have TO be considered and
passed again. Indications are that
the extra session will draw more
fire than the past session, as
many members interpret the call
back to be charge of incompe-
teney'' against them.
An extra session will probably
require q reorganization of both
houses and the election Of new
officers.
Legislative deliberations have all
ready cost about $4,000, not in
cluding the cost of retaining the
officers and clerks to complete the
clerical work after the session
closes, the printing of journals, etc.
Records in the office OF the state
auditor show that the state has
already borrowed" about 100000
of the general fund, this amount
having been turned in by collect
ors to date in advance of the June
settlements. The general revenue
fund has been broke" for week,
with vouchers accumulating. The
stress was slightly relieved today
by a 5000 remittance from Jeffer-
son.
Before adjournment Of the Sem
ate, the committee appointed to in
vestigate the charge that the Sec
retary of the senate had corruptly
spent the contingent fund filed
majority report saying they had
examined the vouchers and found
nothing wrong, and that purchases,
especially for furniture for the
senate, were made under custom.
airy prices, and mo shadow OF fraud
was found"
CarlLee filed a minority report,
saying he had not had time TO make
q complete investigation.
