near a personal alteration in he
House Wednesday afternoon, and the

them to prevent further trouble. Kec-
win moved to reconsider the vote by
which the House had passed the Deaf
Mute appropriation bill for $127,5O0,
that he might amend by striking Oh:
the clause permitting the Board to
apply unexpended balances for other
purposes than those appropriated
The motion prevailed, and Newton,
of Lonoke, offered an amendment to
flJcrease the item for current eX-
penses from $51,S36 to $4,000 Ker-
win said that the amendment was not
honest, statement which Newton Re.
scented, starting down the aisle in a
menacing attitude toward the gentle
man from jefferson. He declared
that he was tired Of having his &C
tons impugned and wrong motives
imputed to his action on public mat
ters. Mr.. Kerwin insisted that he
meant no personal reflection and this
with the interference of the mace
bearer prevented actual hostilities,
A number of amendments were Of
fered by Mr. Kerwin, and adopted,
the effect of which was to make the
bill an exact copy of that passed by
the Legislature in 1909, itemized, and
with all the safeguards. During he
discussion there was a spirited eX-
change between Keith of Benten, the
patriarch of the House and Hurst,

it, or the interests of the people

children. Although Alexander was
in the county Jail for months he
would never tell where mis- family
lived, but he always said his home
was in Little RRck.

shrewd penman and is thought to
have worked" other cities over the
state, securing various sums Of mo-
ney. He came here from Little
