 Month
WAS A SAD FAILURE
National AviatOrs Lost S1O,0O0 and Quit the Game-Swaim Loses
 All Confidence fin Project.

The weeks aviation meet that va to have been pulled eff in this city the latter part of this month by the National Aviators, under the auspices of the Pine Bluff Board of Trade, has been called off. Acting Secretary E A. Howell, of the Board of Trade, yesterday received cancellation of the local contract from w. I. Swain. president of the National Aviators. who declares that the game is very unreliable and that h:s company has already lost $10,000 in the venture. Hs declares that aviators are unreliable in every sense of the word The let- ter of Mir. Swain, whicA is a complehe admission of the failure of the pro. ject, follows:
 Dear Sir:-Since last corresponds ing with you we have been compelled to discontinue the aviation part of our show on account of its being So unre- liable.
 "It seems that either the wind is too strong or the field is not satis- factory, consequently, there would be no flights for the day and, as we have been in the amusement business for the past eighteen years and have never been on record as disappointing the public at large, do not propose to continue in an amusement enterprise that is not reliable.
 While this venture cost us about s1o,o00 and we migh. contint- along getting part of 1t back yet, we prefer to lose rather than to be in bad repute in one single city in America.
 "We came out of New Orleans with the best aviation talent obtainable, three of the best type machines in the world, yet we could not fly at the re- quired time.
 "In conclusion, allow us to warn you about entering into any compact whatsoever with an aviation show or enterprise as the game is the most uncertain thing in the world and to our sorrow and disgust a great many ayiators and those in the business are unreliable in every sense of the word.
 Hope that you will appreciate our position. Kindly allow us to assure you that this is great regret to us.

THE STATE FAIR
 BILL REFERRED Much Opposition to Giving $20,000 to the Hot
 Springs Show WAS NEARLY KILLED
Depleted Treasury Made Newton Op. pose It-Fair No Good to People
 of State, Says Little.

Little Rock, April 7.-The State Fair bill was called up in the House late this afternoon, by the Hot Springs delegation, and had narrow escape from defeat The bill introduced by Senator Williams, passed the Senate by a large majority appropriating $40,0O0 for state fai-, $20,00O for this year and $20.000 for the next. The purposes tor which this money is to be expended are fully set forth in the bill, in detail being chiefly for the payment of premiums.
 The reading of the t;ll had not been completed when Representative Par ker made a motion to indefinitely postpone, but this was ignored until the reading had been finished. MT. Rradham then offered an amendment that the $20,000 for 1912 be divided among four district fairs to be held at the sites of the four agricultural schools. MT. Little, who announced his opposition to the bill in toto, of- fered an amendment that $10,000 be appropriated for each county or dis trict fair in the sta.e which he de- clared was done to bring the proposi- tion into ridicule.
 Parker renewed his motion to in- definitely postpone, declaring that many sins of Legislation are charged to the Farmers Union, when they do not demand it. He declared it had
 been the purpose of the friends of the measure to offer this sop of a division of the funds in 1912 in order to secure more friends for the meas ure. He said the Fair is not a. state
 institution, but is owned by the peo- Lle of Hot Springs, and that Presi
 dent Cole of the Farmers Union was elected president of the Association
 "to save it from wreck"
 A substitute was offered that the
 bill be referred to tEe committee on
 agriculture, that it's merits might be determined, and an intelligent repor: made on it. Representative Little declared that the measure was an in- suit to the patriotism and the intel l:gence of the House and therefore entitled to no consideration at the hands of the Representatives. "This and another bill that has come over from the Senate are alike in this re- spect," he asserted, ''il that they seek 10 take money out of the state treas ury and give it to some isolated pro- ject in which the people of the state as a whole are not intcl ested."
 Representative Newton opposed the
 bill, not because he did not think the
 money would serve good purpose
 but because of the depleted condition
 of the state treasury. The state. he said. has no money b give for this
 and for the same reason he would op'
 pose making an appropriation for ths
 entertainment of the Confederate Re union a bill for $10,00C for that pur' pose having passed the Senate.
 Representative Mclaughlin spoke for the bill as one of u best that had
 been offered this season since it pro vides for money that will be turned
 back directly into the hands of the farmers. He insisted that the bill
