ARKANSAS EQUAL TO ANY
Visitor to Capitol Says Building Is
 Surpassed By None.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Carl Schader of Los Angeles, who visited his brother in this city, vis- tied the state captol, and while call ing upon Governor Donaghey declared it seemed to him that the new capitol is admirably situated to be made the nucleus of a civic center, in which all the public buildings of the city will be grouped
 T do not think I ever saw a loca- tion that would lend itself more read fly to the development of a civic cen ter, such as many of the most enter prising cities of the countries are now trying to develop" said MT. Schader. 'It seems to me that the state should condemn the blocks of ground imme- diately in front of the capitol Then a courthouse could be built on one side of the capitol and city hall or some other public building on the other. There would be ample room for library and any other building that should be erected later.
 "The whole group could be arrang- ed on plan that would give Little Rock one of the most beautiful civic centers in the country. N.ith these buildings standing on the hill sur rounding the capitol, the view down Capitol avenue from Main street would be magnificent"
 Governor Donaghey expressed him. self as being in hearty accord with Mir. Schadef's idea and said he would do anything In his power if it were possible to bring such a condition about.
 MT. Schader was enthusiastic in his praise of the new capitol.
 T have visited most of the state capitols in the West and Central West, as well as many of the public buildings of Canada" he said, but have not seen any that surpasses the Arkansas capitol. The location is ad. mirable and full advantage of it has been taken in the erection of the building. It is structure of which the state should be proud"

 sition of Arkansas Executive.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Governor Donaghey has asked for further information from the authori- ties of Sebastian county regarding the charges against c. T. Palmer, requisition for whom has been denied by Governor Hadley of Missouri. Gov ernor Donaghey has asked for an opinion as to whether Palmer's al legged offense is covered by Arkan- sas statutes and he will take no fur ther actions upon the matter until he has received further advice.
 Governor Hadley, in refusing to honor the requisition issued by Gov ernor Donaghey, stated that he did not believe the action of Palmer would constitute an ofense unless it should be covered by some special statute of the state.
 Palmer appeared at the Merchants National bank in Fort Smith, where he had an account, and asked the cashier how much money he had on deposit. The cashier confused his account with another depositor and told him he had 1,400. Palmer then drew check for $500, and it was paid. A short time later it was dis covered that Palmer had only little more than S100 to his credit. Palmer was indicted on charge of grand larceny.
 Palmer paid back the S900 to the bank, and the receipt is on file in the governors office. Palmer declares he was operating barber colleges in number of cities and that money from the other cities was supposed to be sent to the Fort Smith bank to be placed to his credit. He stated that he did not know how much money he had on deposit there and that he re- lied upon the statement of the cashier
