TONEY SALARY BILL
 GOES UP TODAY

It is improbable that either of the measures by Senator Toney placing the county officers of Jefferson coun- ty on salary and fixing the salary of the prosecuting attorney at $1,Soo a year will come up before Friday for consideration in the House, as that is Senate day in that body. Both meas ures have already passed the Senate. The Jefferson delegation appears to be divided on the measures, partlcul- arly that fixing the salaries of county officers, and it is likely that there will be warm time over the measures MT. Pinney, one of the members from Jefferson, states that he is not par ticularly opposed to the salary propos- ition, but he is emphatically opposed to the salaries as fixed in the bill' both for the county officers and the prosecuting attorney. He Will proo- ably move to postpone consideration of the prosecuting attorney bill hde- finitely when the bill comes up TOT consideration. Rock Gazette. |.

reply, word came to the court room that the jury was about to return. They filed in and took their seats and the foreman said: Your Honor, We are unable to agree'' Juror No. 12 Frank Knau jumped up in his seat and said: No we can't agree. but We stand II to 1 for not guilty Here, here, you must not say any, thing about that exclaimed Judge Jordan, banging his gavel on the desk.
 "Yes, II to 1, and there's the one," said Juror Knau, pointing to Isaac Hayman, who sat directly in front of him. Eleven of us wanted to acquit her.
 Again the Judge hammered his bench, but the jurors all excited nod ded their heads and several of them pointed to Hayman. He nodded his head too, as though asserting his position. One of the jurors said :: "The principal reason for the stand in favor of acquittal was the doubt in their minds as to the testimony of the two chief witnesses for the state. Isaac Hayman, the lone juror who stood out for conviction, said: voted according to my conscious and the evidence. l believe beyond all reasonable doubt that the woman was guilty. I'll keep on voting for a conviction for a year if necessary"

HOUSE PASSED
 INSPECTION BILL Was Presented By Repre- sentative Pinney and
 Drawn By Nixon.
IT HAD CHAMPIONS
Judge kcrwin Opposed It On Ground That it Did Not Provide
 q Bond.

Little Rock, Ark, Jan. 26.--The passage of the bill by Representative Pinney of Jefferson county, providing such an amendment to the present law as will authorize any taxpayer to in- spect the record books of fees of all county officers, was a feature of the early morning proceedings in the House.
 Mr. Pinney introduced the bill yes- terday and had it made a special or der for this morning. It was opposed by Mir. Kerwin of Jefferson on the ground that it does not require that the person making the inspection fur nish bond of any kind, and that it would thus open the books to persons irresponsible in a measure for any recommendations they might make. He did not believe this. would be fair to the officers of county.
 As champions of the bill, however, MT. Glover of Hot Spring, MT. Brown of Cleveland and MT. Little of Miss issippi, as we'll as it's author, MT. Pin ney, declared that every taxpayer should have the right to look at the record books of county officer if he chooses to do so, and that any law that does not authorize him to inspect ic ,pi iIoo h: rights as citizen.
 During the discussion there was considerable allusion to the recent &C., tion of certain officials in Jefferson county in declining to allow the prose- cutting attorney to have such record books when he had planned to have them audited.
 The bill finally went to vote and was passed.
 The bill was drawn by District At torney T. Havis Nixon, of Pine Bluff, after he had been refused the priv ilege of inspecting the books or even naming an expert account to inspect and audit the Jefferson county re- cords. The bill was originally drawn so as to give the prosecuting attorney the same privilege enjoyed under the law by the circuit judge and the coun- ty judge. It was amended, however, before being presented to give any taxpayer the right to inspect the coun- ty records at any time.

MRS. SCHENK IS HAPPY
International News Special


 Wheeling, w. Va, Jan. 26.-With eleven men in favor of acquittal and just one standing out for verdict of guilty the jury that tried Laura Farnsworth Schenk on the charge of having tried to kill her millionaire husband by poisoning him, came into court at o'clock this afternoon and announced they could not possibly ar rive at unanimous decision. Judge Jordan discharged them after asking each one if there was any hope of verdict and receiving from each of them, '.No."
 Mrs Schenk, almost as happy as though she had been set free, returned to her cell in a high turret of the jail. My innocence has been proved,' she exclaimed as she left the court room With her lawyer. My babies can grow up without stain upon their names. know that if I am ever tried again I will be acquitted at once" It is believed unlikely that she will have to undergo the ordeal through which she passed during the past three weeks. Prosecutor Handlan made formal motion for new trial and declared he wanted it begun in the present term of court before Judge Harvey. but privately he told friends that he did not believe he could ever prosecute the woman again. Public sentiment seems to be in her favor,'' he said, "and it would be hard to get another jury to convict her in spite of the states al- most perfect case. I am bitterly dis appointed at the outcome.''
 Mrs. Schenk's lawyers, Joseph and Frank O'Brien and Samuel Boyce, were the heroes of the city tonight. Congratulations were showered upon them, a banquet was given in their honor and wherever they went they Were followed by admiring crowds.
 uCy UOA1OV0 CAdC CaO1l S11CIC D bond will be reduced from $1O,000, which she never was able to secure, to some normal amount and that she will be set free within few weeks.
 The return of the jury this after noon was accompanied by all sorts of thrills. About 4:30 D. m. Prose- cutor Handlan, who had been pacing hervously up and down the court house corridors, suddenly appeared before Judge Jordan and asked for the discharge of the jury. Then came the first bit of excitement. Attorney Joseph O'Brien said: Your Honor, we have request to make, too. We insist that. the deputies who have had charge of this jury be replaced and some lodging place other than the Hotel Stamm be found for the jurors. It has come to our knowledge that attempts were to be made to use money, that part of the Schenk mill lions we're to be, expended to bring about verdict of guilty"

HIGHWAY AND
 LAND BUREAU Representative Toler Would Have MacadamiZed Roads
 in All Directions.
GIVEN MUCH THOUGHT
Eight Trunk Lines Proposed by Leg iSlatOr in Bill Offered
 Thursday.

Little Rock, Ark, Jan. 26.-If the measure introduced by Representative Toler, creating state farm bureau of highways and land surveys, is enacted it will provide a way for threading Arkansas with modern macadamized highways radiating at first from Little Rock in eight principal directions to the borders of the state and later con- meeting these and other trunk high ways in a maze of turnpikes and im- proved roads that will exceed any thing now enjoyed by any state in the Union. At least that is the be- lief of the author of the measure, and he has spent much time in working out the details of what he believes is a logical good roads measure.
 To begin with, the bureau created by the bill is to continue for a per- iod of twenty years and to b. in charge of an engineering expert at a salary of $3,O0O per year, who shall have supervision not only over the trunk line highways proposed, but shall have general supervision of all county surveyors and road ovorseers to the end that all enterprises for road improvement may be undertaken sys- tematically.
 The bureau is to have a secretary, who is likewise to be an expert engi- neer, whose particular business is to look after the drainage and levee districts of the state, secure data con- corning their financial conditions, op- erations O. their directors, etc, and to make a biennial report to the gov- , ernor of the state as to the general status of drainage and levee work in the state, together with such recom- promotion of land reclamation in Ar kansas.
 Eight Trunk Lines Proposed.
 In the beginning Mr. Toler proposes eight trunk line highways raliating from Littie Rock in as many directions 70 the four lines and corners of the state These are designatel as No. :" "NC 2.' etc.. and are so project ed as 10 connect the capital with the most important cities of the state and at the same time to follow to a great extent tlc railroad lines, nor 'e' that In launching the movement the cost of road construction may be reduced as much as possible by eliminating the necessity for long hauls for materials.
 These roads are to be constructed With the aid of State convicts, but no road is to be undertaken until the people along the proposed route have subscribed at least 20 per cent of the

APPROVE BILL
 BUT DELAY II That's What Petitioner Say in Appealing to the Rep
 resentatives.
UNJUST AT PRESENT
May Be Amended By kerWin to Be. come Effective Two Years
 From Now. +# #el

A petition, signed by about one hun- dred business men, bankers and oth- CTS prominent in commercial circles of this city and county, was yesterday forwarded to the members of the House of Representatives from Jeff ferson county, asking them to amend the present county salary law, as proposed under the bill of President H. K Toney, of the Senate, so as to make it effective after the expiration of the present term of the county officials.
 The petition was generally circulat- ed by opponents of the bill and three of them were left at local banks, to be signed by financiers and others visit ing the institutions during the day. Many of the signers opposed the en- tire bill, as written, but there were many who, after signing their names to the petition, gave other reasons why it should be passed as it is, but not made effective until October 31, 1912, when the present two-year terms of the Jefferson county off, cials end. It is expected that Judge E. J. Ker- Win, who is championing the Toney measure in the House, will offer an amendment today, when the bill is 1nJ to Jn u,it n1o effective and after its passage He will amend it, it is said, to have 1t become effective in 1912, after the present terms of the county officers expire. Judge Kerwin, it is said, con- ferred with several prominent offi- cials and business men Wednesday night while in the city, and was ad- vised to amend the bill. Judge Ker- win will not agree to amendment, changing the salaries as listed for the various officials in the measure. He will, however, consent to amend the bill to delay its becoming law The petition, as signed yesterday, reads:
 Pine Bluff, Ark, Jan. 26, 1911 To the Members Of the General As-
 sembly from Jefferson county, Ark.
 Gentlemen We have read the sal- ary bill as passed by Senator Toney applying to this county. As taxpayers and property holders we are in favor of a salary bill but do strongly pro- test against the present bill because the bill is unjust and unfair in that it becomes law from and after date. The bill, if passed, in our Judgment, ought not to be effective before the term of office expire for the present incumbents.
 The Toney county salary bill will be called up this morning in the House by Judge Kerwin. It will he read once and then probably amend ed The Toney salary bill, affecting the prosecuting attorneys office In this district, is also in the House.
 1t was reported here yesterday that Representatives Pinney and McAllis- ter were drafting a measure that will give Jefferson county salary sys- tenn, governing it's officials, but that bill will contain the initiative and re- ferendum clause, so that it might be referred to the voters of this county for approval or disapproval. It is said that they will introduce such a meas ure today.
