SEWER CONTRA( TORS
 SIGN AGREEMENT
To Rush Completion Of System Or Voluntarily Reinquish
 Contract.

The best possible solution of the proposition of completing Newport's sewerage system is generally believed to have been secured by the district $ com missioners, c. c. Henry, Al corn Ferguson and William Bengel through a written contract closed with Noble & Gardner, whereby the contrac- tors specify the amount of work to be done each day and agree through the employment of a large force of men to rush the work to an e@ly completion. Mir. Noble agrees to remain in the city and superintend the work.
 It is a provision of this con tract that if Noble & Gardner do not expedite the work as agreed, the contract is to be turned over to the commissioners without lit |igation.
 The contractors have put on fifty to sixty laborers and should have the system completed by | May |. It must then be tested before accepted and the machin- |ery at the pumping station in- stalled. This part of the con tract was taken over some time ago by the commissioners.
 It is a very satisfactory termi- nation of controversy that threatened litigation and perhaps delay of the sewerage system s completion.

Riggs Getting Many Recruits.


 Boss" Schmidt and Manager Riggs headed the rival teams in yesterday s work out and the game was a nifty one. Schmidt bunch would have won in walk but they were attempting to inn prove Lath Summers delivery, and the new movement bothered the Clarksville boy, Riggs bunch making five runs off him in one inning. Schmidt is work ing the soreness, which bothered him so in the Cleveland game, out of his arm and will report to the Detroit team in crack-a-jack shape.
 Mcdaniel, who was seen here last year with Spiro and is now a commercial college student, was in the box for Riggs team and proved himself a classy twirler. His discomfiture came in the tenth when poor support filled the bags and Jimmy Henley lift ed one to the score board. Weaver got his foot caught under the fence and the bags were cleared.
 The score was 9 to 5.
 Quite anumber of fans go out to League Park every afternoon to see the players work out and get acquainted with them. The new men are coming in so fast that the fans have to get out of ten to keep up with them. Doe Nuding was out yesterday, and Mathews.

MANY CITIES
 FEEL QUAkES
Distinct Shocks Felt In Many Towns Of Eastern Ark
 ansas.

Little Rock, April 1.-Distinct earthquake shocks were felt yes terday morning throughout east and southeast Arkansas, the dis turbances being confined to that locality of the state exclusively. In many towns two shocks were felt and in some as many as three but no damage was done any where except in Pine Bluff, where many windows were cracked, and in De Witt, where the courthouse and all two and three-story build ings were more or less damaged.
 In all of the towns where the shocks were the most distinct there was great excitement, peo- pie rushing from their homes, ,and in lany instances refusing to go back for some time. Reports snow that no shocks were felt in any, place in north, northeast or northwest Arkansas. As near as could be learned, the disturbances began about II o'clock, lasting several seconds each time.
 People Ran From Houses.
 In Pnne Bluff one shock is said to have been felt about 10 o'clocl and another about noon, following ! the main shock about Il o'clock The shock at II o'clock was so distinct and severe that people ran from their homes and all of the downtown business houses were deserted for awhile. To- night people are still suffering with excitement, many of them fearing a repetition of the dis turbances of the morning.

1 the state would be growing fur ther and further in debt to nam tain them; and that the people of this state would have to go down in their pockets to raise money to keep the penitentlary going.
 This argument was also made by others opposing this resolution Since hearing those gentlemen discuss the problems of the peni- tentiary I propose to go with you into detail, and speak from flg- ures obtained from the books of the penitentiary board.
 "Mr. Speaker,I suppose they are true, the secretary told me they were correct; I presume he told me the truth; therefore l am voicing the true facts and not dealing in idle fields of fancy, nor indulging in theory. 1"
 Mr. Grant here went into a careful analysis of the amounts received by the state from con tractors for the labor of convicts, quoting the figures of the secre- tary of the penitentiary board, showing that it cost 50 cents a day to keep convicts in such camps over the state while only 50 cents was necessary to main tain and keep a convict m the penitentiary. The speaker went on to show that the state con victs were worked to the best pro fit on the state farm and urged the use of all surplus convict la Dor in clearing and putting into cultivation additional land.
 Mr. Grant next dealt with the humanitarian issue involved Tn the leasing of the states con victs to private parties declaring that the treatment of these men
 
 was barbarous. He said:
 "The gentlemen on the floor talk about the humane way the penitentiary officials have of treating the convicts; how good they are, and to them and how kindly the convicts are treated. With them I beg to differ. l will call your attention to the fact that Col. Roddy, the gentleman from Woodruff, said while on the floor this morning that as a member of the penitentiary com mittee when he investigated the State farm he inquired of the convicts how they were cared for, that they answered they were we'll cared for, and were treated well.
 "What pity we have no re- port from those poor unfortunate creatures working out under con- tracts, up and down the railroads and on other public works. l wish they could whisper the trutf to this Assembly that we might all know. I will relate one in- stance that happened in North Arkansas. While the construc- ton company, l do not know whether it was Reeves, Wilson or Raleigh, yet it was some one working men wearing Arkansas convict stripes, were working on the Rock Island at Jacksonport there was in their charge 9 poor unfortunate boy who had been

 Little Rock, March 31.-One of the most effective speeches delivered in the House on the convict lease system was made by Representative Grant of Jack son county.
 He stated that he desired to be Exceedingly brief in his remarks before the House, but that he was going to do something that none #of the balance of the persons speaking for and against the mo- tion had yet dared to do, deal in facts and figures concerning the management of the state peniten- tiary as to leasing or hiring out the convicts, the profits and ex- penses of working them on the convict farm. He said:
 Mir. Speaker, you have heard much said by the distinguished gentlemen upon the floor, as we'll as by your attorney general, be- fore this body; and right here, MT. Speaker and gentlemen, I want to state lest I may be mis-
 
 understood, General Norwood is my attorney general too; why, sir, when he ran. for attorney gen eral he was total stranger Tn Jackson county, but I admired him and do now; l went into the fight for him and when the last ballot was counted he had carried my county over the Hon. F. R. Andrews of Augusta, who was living at my own door; and furthermore, when the next cleo ton comes round, if something lawful does not happen to change my mind, I will place vote in the ballot box for Hal Norwood for governor.
 But, Mir. Speaker, l have al ways reserved the right to speak freely and honestly upon all great subjects when it was my duty to do 50. If I should go away from here, or sit idly by and let pass this hellish question without raising my voice in be- half of those poor unfortunate persons who today are bound in manacles and shackles I would not dare face my people at home, for I know I would not have dis charged that official trust which they have placed in my hands < 1 would be too ungrateful to mee' my mother mad father and claim to be their son. Your attorney general, and my attorney gener- al, has told you that when the present penitentiary board went into offcie in 1908 there was a debt owed by the penitentiary board amounting to $98,00O; that there was a debt of $51, ,0OO due on the purchase price of the State farm. He said that both of those obligations had been dis charged, and that it was necessary to hire out the convicts to make them self-supporting; that il they were not hired out they would not be self-supporting and

SHARP PARSONS
 SUIT UNSETTLED Judgment Not To Be Entered At This Term On All Points
 Involved.

In the civil suit of Robert w. Sharp versus Frank Parsons, heard Friday and Saturday by Judge R. E. Jeffery in the Jack son circuit court at an adjourned session, the court held that plain tiff was entitled to an undivided one-fith interest in two lots in Swifton in controversy,
 but held that defendant should receive credit for the betterments in a new house constructed on
 one of these lots.
 MT. Parsons purchased the two lots for $35O, from Chris, James
 and Morris Sharp and Mrs. Ella |E. Coffin and it was thought at that time that the other heir
 Robert w. Sharp was dead. MT. Parsons sold one of the lots to
 Billie Altman who spent $500 up
 on a new house on the lot. MT.
 Parsons also made improvements upon the other house and 1t $ upon this point that the case goes lover for further hearing. The whole property is now estimated to be worth $350O.
