State Capitol News Notes
ECES FRAUD IN THE STATE BOARD OF HEALTH
 BILL.
Attorney Declares Measure Signed by Governor Was Not Passed
 by Legislature.

That fraud was practiced-perhaps with the best of intentions-in secur- ing Governor Donaghey's signature to the bill providing for the creation of a state board of health is the sub- stance of report submitted to Mayor Charles E. Taylor by Attorney c. w.. Hendricks of Little Rock. Attorney Hendricks had been retained by the hoard of health to investigate the le- gality of the bill.
 In his report, MT. Hendricks sur prised the mayor by stating that as a result of his investigations he has discovered that the bill which passed the senate and house of representa- lives is not the same bill that was signed by the governor. He says that the bill which passed the two houses of the legislature was lost-probably by the enrolling committee. AS this was during the last days of the legis- latiye session and there was no chance to get the bill passed again, he says that a well-known Little Rock physician who was much interested in seeing that the bill passed con ceived the brilliant idea of furnishing the enrolling committee with what he asserted was a copy of the bill. From this copy Mir. Hendricks says the en- rolled bill was made. This, he de- clares, was presented to Governor Donaghey about II o'clock on the night of the last day on which enroll ed bills could be presented to the governor. He declares that Governor Donaghey, naturally supposing that the bill was in perfectly legal form, signed it.
 When this original legislative stunt of supplying the original bill by copy was pulled off, the fact that the senate bill had been amend ed in the house was overlooked" ]" says Mir Hendricks in his report. To prove this he quotes from the house journal the amendment to the bill that was adopted by that body. He then quotes from the bill that was signed by the governor showing that this house amendment had been omit ted by the overzealous doctor who furnished the enrolling committee with the copy.
 After reading Mir Hendricks re- port Mayor Taylor said
 "Alr Hendricks' report establishes the fact that the bill is null and I believe that the counci will recognize our present municipal board"

Can Not Give Aid in Stanley Trial

In reply to communication from Prosecuting Attorney Paul Little of Sebastian county, relative to the ef- forts being made to secure the return of J. NJ. Stanley from Oklahoma to Sebastian county on charge of kid naping, Assistant Attorney General Rector states that the attorney gen erals office will be unable to send representative to Pauls Valley, Okla, to prosecute the case in any manner, owing to lack of contingent funds. Stanley was arrested through the efforts of Sebastian county off cers but declined to return to Ar kansas without reqmsition papers. These were issued by Governor Dona- ghey and honored by Governor Cruce, but Stanley, who is an attorney and well yersed in law, still fought the case, securing his release on habeas corpus writ. As it would require money to carry on the legal fight for the return of Stanley to Arkansas, the matter was taken up with the state legal department
