governor stated that part of the pro-
 posed road runs through very poor and sparsely settled stretch of coun-
 try and these lands would have to be
 taxed for it's construction and main-
 tenance. He stated that neither the
 citizens of Little Rock nor Pine BlIff
 are included in the territory to be
 taxed. He says that both of these cities will derive great benefit from the construction of such highway and he does not think it would be just for this road to be built since the burden should not fall altogether upon the shoulders of the farmer along the proposed route. Another objection was the fact that the state convict farm would be taxed for the payment of interest and principal on long time, which might bring about the serious complications with respect to the states interests and policy
 These reasons are not well taken for County Judge Asher, of Pulaa.zi county, was going to give $50.C00 out of the city road fund, that which ap- plies to the county's share, and Judge C. M Philpot. of this county, had agreed to give $25,OO0 out Of sim,. lar fund, to aid the state in bull ling 1t. The Iron Mountain railroad, which opposed the bill from start to finish, would have had to pay ona -ft:,1rth If the entire assessment, as it's tight of way is included i'll the district outlin- sd in the bill, all the way from Little Rock to The State Farm.
 I. vetoing this measure Governor Donaghey has nl)t hurt the feelings cf Senator Toney, but has gone anntrery to demands and wishes of practically every property owner along he pro posed route of the highway. He has much good, taking the view of he Iron Mountain officials.
 This bill was urged by practically every business man and property owner in Southeast Arkansas. A st8te highway and good road to tAa state capital hss long been wanted al,d needed in this section. It would have been more valuable than trnok line of railroad.
 Presideu. H. K.

BIG SCANDAL
FOLLOWS RAID
DISCOVERIES IN CHINESE DEN
MAY LEAD TO IMPORTANT
DEVELOPMENTS.
U. S. AUTHORITIES BUSY
CORRUPT CHINESE AND POLICE
OFFICIALS SAID TO BE
IN ALLIANCE.

New York-Disclosure of a sensa-
tional nature were made of the fact
that in raid on an opium den in this
city recently by customs inspectors
a mass OF documentary evidence was
found which probably will result in
the solution of the Elsie Sigel and
other murder mysteries and which eu.
tablishes beyond question the exist.
ence OF corrupt relations between a
syndicate Of Chinese criminals and
palice officials in this and other cit
les.
These revelations have started an
investigation which federal and city
authorities agree will be one Of the
most far reaching and searching in
the history of New York.
The documents seized in the raid
are looked upon as SO important by
Henry A. Wise, United States district
attorney, that he will not turn any
OF them over to the New York po-
lice until the Treasury Department a:
Washington decides upon its course.
The New York police are anxious
to get at the records which show how
the murderer of Elsie Sigel escaped
and the sums Of money that have
been paid by Chinese criminals to po'
lice officials in this city and else.
where. So conservative an official as
Deputy Commissioner Flynn said
that because of the revelations made
in these records. one OF the greatest
shake-ups in the history of the New
York police department is inevitable.
II has been learned that not only
have the United States district attor.
ney and the district attorney Of this
county entered upon the case. but in
addition to the inquiry now being pur-
sued by the customs inspectors. the
secret service division OF the Treas
ury Department has been called In.
The large packing boxes filled with
discriminating documents are now In
n room in the federal building. guard
ed by an armed watchman. 1t has
been physically impossible to trans
late all of the communications. which
are written In Chinese, but the mos;
skilled translators In the federal serv-
vice in this city are at work upon
them.
Many OF the receipts, letters and
memoranda are written in English and
these point to connivance between
police officials and Chinese Grimm
ais OF a character. which. when 1t be-
comes known, will result in the dis
grace and prosecution OF many police
officials.
From the federal authorities Dep
uty Commissioner Flynn has learned
Of the existence of proof OF this gull
ty relationship although he has not
yet been permitted to examine the
documents themselves.
AS the situation stands. all the evil
dence relating to the smuggling of
Chinese into this country. the opium
traffic and the murders OF which the
Chinese have been guilty is still held
by the federal authorities.
