WOULD ELIMINATE
 LOCAL LEGISLATION
MIR. NEALE WOUL PLACE SUCH MATTERS IN CONTROL
 OF COUNTIES.

Little Rock, March 25.-Unless there are legal complications in the way, Mir. Neale of Perry county will solve the question of ridding the gen. eral assembly of the many local bills which each year take up the time of the assembly. MT. Neale has a bill in course of construction which will take from the general assembly this power and place it in the hands of the people of the various counties of the state, making the county court and county judge, the same for each coun- ty as the legislature and governor now are to the state. He plans to take from the legislature, under the initiative and referendum, and give to the county levying courts the right to form special school districts and to permit drainage, levee and school dis tricts to issue bonds and borrow money. He will also provide for each county electing a county attorney. MT. Neale believes that this plan will solve the question entirely, and with the people so close at hand, there will be no reckless granting of permission to districts to bond themselves. The county levying court can meet four times a year and this will also avoid delay in legalizing deserving enter priseS

l65 MILE GOOD
 ROAD IS PLANNED MAY GO THROUGH CONWAY CAPT. MARTIN OF FAULKNER COUNTY TO INTRODUCE
 BILL FOR ROAD.

Little Rock, March 25.-The most comprehensive good roads scheme ever attempted in the state is now formulating itself and within the next ten days bill will be introduced in the house, asking for the formation of all the territory adjacent to road leading from Little Rock to Fort Smith into an improvement district to macadamize this 165 mile stretch of highway. The cities of Little Rock and Fort Smith are to be included in the district, as they will have to bear a large share of the taxation. The bill is now being drawn by one of the leading legal firms of Little Rock, in order that there will be no legal com plications in the future.
 This bill will hardly specify the route to be taken, that being left to the commissioners who will be named in the bill. There are two routes from Little Rock to Fort Smith, one on the north and one on the south side of the Arkansas river, but the old military road on the north side is the one which will probably be chosen. The plan is to macadamize the road bed 20 feet all the way, and have it connect the two cities with the finest automobile pike in the United States.
 Should the route north of the river be chosen it will pass through Con way, Morrilton and Russellville, and either cross the river at Dardanelle or go on to Clarksville and Ozark, and cross the river there. Those who are backing the enterprise state the cost will be much less than any one would expect, as there is so much rock ac- cessible to the road. The bill will probably be introduced in the house by Mir. w. W. Martin of Faulkner county.

PLAY BY CENTRAL
 SENIORS A SUCCESS
"A SCRAP OF PAPER" PLEASES LARGE AUDIENCE AT THE
 GRAND.

The play, "A Scrap of Paper" by members of the senior class of Cen tral college, assisted by few fellow most attractive offerinps of the ses- sion. There were no mistakes m..de in the casting of the play; Miss Brown, the teacher of expression, having shown, as usual, her remark able ability in discerning the right person in the right place, so there was on one worried by playing against the vein. It is, without ques- tioning, big achievement to produce a play with artistic intelligence, but the caste on last night came very near accomplishing that feat. Each seemed at her best, and the entire play was frightened here and there with humorous touches that for two hours or more brought hearty laugh ter from the audience.
 The caste of the play is as follows; Prosper Couramont ............

CITIZENS COMPLAIN OF
 RAGING ON STREETS

The Log Cabin Democrat has been| asked to call attention to an evil that appears to be on the increase recentlv| that of driving autos and other ve- hicles at high rates of speed on the streets. Instances have been men, toned where accidents have been nar- rowly averted in several cases recent ly, and the citizens who complain of the speeding believe it should be stop- ped before some person is injured or killed. The speed mania is not con- fined to drivers of automobiles and motorcycles, but the owners of sev- eral spirited horses are in the habit of driving them rather recklessly over the streets of the city. It should be stated, however, that most of those running automobiles are apparent lyly very careful in drivin- them, and those who have been exceeding a safe rate of speed have probably done so because their attention has not not been called to the danger of such a procedure It is probable that the city council at its next meeting will be asked to pass an ordinance pre- scribing the maximum rate of speed for automobiles and other vehicles on the streets of Conway.

HENDRIX SHOWS
 WELL IN OPENER
CENTENARY PROVES EASY
UISIANA COLLEGE TEAM LOSES IN RATHER SLOW
 GAME OF BALL.

Hendrix baseball rooters were de- lighted with the showing made by their favorites in the opening game of the season yesterday afternoon, when the local collegians defeated Centenary College of Shreveport, La, 8 to 5. The game was rather slow and listless, the weather being much too cool for fast baseball, but the con- test showed unmstakably that Hen drix has this season the best aggrega- ton gotten together in recent years and probably the best in the history of the institution.
 With each station occupied by a vet eran, the infeld is one of the classiest ever seen on local diamond. Charles in center is considered the find of the season, while Martin, who plays left, seems to have the making of sure fielder. Scott in right did not get a chance.
 Roberts pitching arm was sore and he was batted freely, the visitors gathering 10 safeties off his delivery. He was accorded fine support, howev- CT, and pitched we'll in pinches, once striking out two with the bases full and no outs. Hendrix took well to Wilbanks' offerings, rapping him for II hits.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR

Plans have been laid for the organ ization of a Christian Endeavor So- ciety at the Presbyterian church on Sunday, April 9. A committee com posed of Prof. w. J. Sowder, MT. Car michael and Mrs. Jo Frauenthal has been appointed to help carry out the organization work and will make re port on that date. A Christian En- deavor Society was formerly conduct ed in connection with the church, but disbanded about two years ago. It is thought now that if the new organiza- ton is made that it will be success.

MARTINS CADRON
 BILL IS PASSED IN THE LOWER HOUSE
MEASURE TO RECLAIM 50,000 ACRES IN THIS COUNTY
 IS PASSED.
Special to the Log Cabin Democrat

Little Rock, March 25.-The house today passed Representative w. w. Martins bill, creating an improve ment district in Faulkner and Con- way counties for the purpose of re- claiming about 50,000 acres in the bottoms of Cadron creek and it's trib- utaries. There was no opposition to the passage of the bill in the house.
 The territory embraced in the bill is the largest of any improvement dis trict ever created in this section of the state It includes the lands lying within a distance of one-half mile to one mile on either side of Cadron creek from Gleason to the junction of the two forks, also on either side of the North Fork, the East Fork, Beav- CT Fork, Greenbrier creek, Cypress creek and Muddy Bayou. The ex- treme northern limit of the district is section l, township 6, range 12 The total length of the district is ap- proximately 35 miles, and it varies from one to four miles in width
 It is proposed to construct a con- crete dam and locks at Gleason to prevent the backwater from the Ar kansas river at flood stage from over flowing the lands to the north and east of this point. By means of this dam it is believed that probably 40,- 900 acres of what is now worthless land can be opened up for cultiva- tion and thousands of acres of other land now in cultivation can be pro- tected from overflow.
 J. D. Collier, s. D. Freeman, D. o. Harton, S. s. Surratt and F. U. Hal ter are named in the bill as direct tors of the district.

FINDS MONEY HE
 SUPPOSED STOLEN
CONSTABLE HAD GIVEN ROLL TO HOTEL MAN AND FOR
 GOTTEN IT.

Nellie Smith, Kate Anderson, Nellie Stone, Thelma Lawrence, Inez Rogers and Ethel Woods, inmates of a resort at 300 1-2 East Markham street, who Were arrested Tuesday afternoon charged with having robbed Hall Morril, constable of Faulkner county, of $335, while he was at the resort on the same afternoon, were discharg- ed by Justice Meisner yesterday after noon before the case came to trial, the money which Morril accused the wom- en of having stolen from him having been found in the possession of Jack Mahoney, proprietor of the Mahoney hotel, to whom Morril is said to have given it before going to the resort.
 Morril has ehretofore been referred to as Fred Potts, in the Gazette sto- ries about the matter, this being the name he was understood to have given at the time he made the charge.
 The confusion of the names is the cause of the delay in the explanation of the affair.
 As soon as Mr Mahoney learned that Morril was the man referred to as Fred Potts, he informed the au- thorities that Morril had given him the money in question Tuesday after noon before he went to the resort, for safekeeping, which cleared the mat ter up at once.
 It is stated that Morril got drunk after giving the money to Mahoney, and forgot where he had left it. Be fore leaving the resort he missed the money and accused the women of hay ing robbed him. The case has been continued three times since Tuesday Little Rock Gazette.
 There is no constable in Faulkner county by the name of either MorriI or Potts. It is understood the man referred to lives in Conway county.

7 l.2 CENT FARE
 BILL INTRODUCED

Little Rock, March 25.-The rail road rate proposition has come up again in the legislature, through q bill introduced by Senator Christian, providing that the rate on railroads over 50 miles in length shall be ? 12 cents per mile. The bill has been read twice and referred to the com mittee on railroads. The act of 1907, fixing the rate at ? cents a mile has been fighting it's way through the courts ever since, and a federal court has asserted that 2 i-Z cents q mile would be an equitable charge. Most of them are charging cents again, pending a final determination of the case. but it hoped that the passage of the Christian act will validate a rate that will be acceptable to rail roads and travelling public alike.
