CONNECTS MAY BE
 USED ON ROADS PROVISIONS ON PIKE BILLS SENATE DEFEATS BILL TO IN CREASE STATE GENERAL
 TAX RATE.

Little Rock, May 2.-The house Monday afternoon passed two state highway bills that call for the con- struction of 250 miles of macadam road from Fort Smith to the state farm in Lincoln county. It is the most notable piece of good roads leg islation yet enacted by the general as- sembly, and is believed to be the be- ginning of series of new roads that will in time cover the whole state.
 One bill is that of President Toney, which had already passed the senate, providing for the building of a road from Pine Bluff to Little Rock This was amended by the house upon mo- ton of Representative kersh to ex- tend 40 miles further to the state farm in Lincoln county. This road will be 90 miles in length. The sec ond bill passed by the house was in troduced by Representative Ragon of Johnson and Martin of Faulkner and provides for the construction of a road from Little Rock to Fort Smith, through the towns of Conway, Rus >eilville, Morrilton, Clarksville and Van Buren, distance of 160 miles For this road district Governor Don aghey, w. A. Falconer of Fort Smith and John M. Davis are named as com. missioners for term of six years. The territory comprised in this dis trict shall be the corporate limits of the cities of Little Rock and Fort Smith, all lands between the highway and the Arkansas river, and all ter ritory within three miles of the high. way on the north side. Provision is made for the levying of taxes on this property sufficient to borrow money and issue bonds therefor, which shall not run for more than 30 years. The vote on the bill was 54 ayes to 26 noes
 Supplementary to this a bill has been passed by the senate and is pend. ing in the house, providing for the employment of 100 state convicts on the road Convicts are also to be asked for the Little Rock-Pine Bluff highway. A bill was also read twice in the senate and made special order for today, providing for the right of eminent domain for new public high ways in the various counties.
 The most important action of the senate Monday afternoon was the de- feat of the Friedell bill, raising the tax levy for general purposes from 1 3-4 mills to 1-2 mills, the vote on the measure being | ayes to IS noes. Holland, Toney and Keel favored the bill, while Holt, Watson and Coving ton were opposed to it, holding that the way to raise more revenue is not to raise the levy but to go after the tax-dodger. President Toney said it was a bill necessary to relieve de. pleted treasury. Senator Fredell said it was the best thing he could offer, and no one had offered a better rem edy

COVER RNOR DISCOVERS
 AN INDIAN RELATIVE
WALTER DONAGHEY, A CLOG TAW, RAKES UP KINSHlP
 WITH EXECUTIVE.

Little Rock, May 3.--Among the Tuesday callers at the office of Gov ernor Donaghey was Walter Dona- ghey, a Choctaw Indian, of Ada, Okla. Walter Donaghey is a quarter-blood Choctaw, but looks to be almost a fullblood, and has all the features of a model of that type. The name being the same, caused Walter Dona- ghey to cali upon the governor, and in their conversation they unearthed a relationship, being distant, however. Governor Donaghey states that though he has an Indian relative, and is a good Indian himself, he is still full-blooded Irish and expects to re- main that way.

afternoon was spent in the considera- tion of an amendment offered by ker-
 win of Jefferson, providing that the promssory notes to be issued by the commission shall not be in excess of the total appropriation of $672, ,000 carried by the bill The item was stricken out entirely in committee of the whole, but the administration forces are attempting to save it by placing restrictions about it that will meet the objections of the other side.

In his interviews with the newspa-

two questions which he answered;
one was relative to issues and the
other was in reference to candidates.
In his address, "The Passing of

by saying that he advised candidates
for the presidency to begin early like
himself, so they could witness the
triumph of many of their ideas.
Whatever the object of the meeting
called by National Committeeman

large outpouring of Democrats. There
were from so to so Democrats from
North Dakota, almost as many from
Iowa, while Minnesota sent a goodly
