Point of Order Raised in Senate ard Toney Asks
 Clark's Advice
AND GOT TT QUICK
Income Tax Argument Was Involved and Senator Rogers Carried
 Point.

Little Rock, Ark, April 12.-When Senator Rodgers of Benton County in- trcduced resolution in the State Senate on last Thursday providing for the ratification of the Federal income tax amendment Senator Wlbb Covington raised the point of order that a ,inlller resolution had been acted on in the session, and because of that fact could not be- taken up egain.
 President Toney was not quite sure On the point of order and asked that the matter be allowed to go over un- til today to give him an opportunity to confer with some other parties and get the point of order established. He took it up with Hon. Champ Clark and received a letter this morning ill which he gives it asl his opinion, and cites precedents in Congress to es- tahlish that fact. that the resolution was not out of order, because it could come up as a Senate measure, not withstanding the fact that it had a1- ready been passed on as House measure.
 President Toney and Speaker Clark are strong personal friends, and, holding his opinion as good authority. he ruled that the resolution was not out of order. It came up then on its merits and Senator Rodgers spoke for more than an hour in favor of the passage of the bill. He made com prehensive argument in favor of the amendment and gave reasons why the amendment should be submitted to the people.

LOCAL BASEBALL
 SEASON IS ON
School Boys Not to Be "0utdone" By the Big Leagues-Lakeside
 Defeats Suh. Freshmen

The amateur baseball season was in- augurated in this city yesterday af- ternoon, when the Lakeside boys 'ttook the measure' of the Sub- Fresh men lads of the Pine Bluff High School to the tune Of 2 to 6. The diamond warriors met on the big lot at Ninth avenue and Oak street and spurred On by the yells: of their re- srective admirers the school bops put up a fine article of "town lot" base ball. During the excitement, while the score stood six-six in the last half ohte ninth inning, Hamlin, of the Lakeside team, who had just pre- viously distinguished himself with a two-base hit, scoring two men, stele home and ended the misery Of the skept;cal and nervous ones.
 The game was cne of many fea- lures. Shandy, of the Sub-Freshmen lineup, after registering safe drive for three bags and half. tried to  add to his lanre1s by stealing home and was "killed at the p1ate' with a we'll aimed !throw from left field, performed by Wilson. Both pitchers made good in the box and the game promises to be only starter of a series of contests which are planned for the coming season Goree's work, catching flies, was unusual and Clark at short, and Haynes in center, also came in for share of the honors. The teams appeared of the field as follows:

Three Involuntary Petitions
 Which Aggregates $13,- 800, 1000 Filed in New York
MERRILL IS RECEIVER
Fig Creditors Listed-ActiOn Not Against K ,slOndents as Dir.
 ectOrs of Carnegie Trust.

New York, April 12.-Three invol- Gntary petitions in bankruptcy aggre- gating $13.50O.000 were filed here to- day against three officers of the fail ed Carnegie Trust Company, now ia the hands of the State superintendent of baDks
 The respondents are William J. Cummins. president of the trust com. pany, and Charles Arthur Moore Jr, and Martin J. Condon, directors.
 Their financial status is given in the letition as: Cummins liabiliti .s $5,o00,0O0 and his assets are $400,- 0CO; Moor, liabilities $2,000.0OO and assets $1OO,00O and Condon liabilities $6,50O,000 and assets, $500,000.
 Payson Merrill was named receiver for all three under bonds of $1OO, ,000.
 Only three pe+itio;.ing creditors ara named, which is all the law requires. Their lawyers sai! that many more are associated with them. The cred itors who appear are Hermann c. Brewster, $oO,000; Herbert Hatfield, $s,644, and Jas s. Watson. $SO, 900 all for money loaned. They allege in their aeiiticrs against Cummins trat preferential payments have been made since he became insolvent and likewise there has been concealment of considerable property with tate~t to hinder and defraud creditors.
 The actions were not brought against the respondents as directors of the Carnegie Trust Company. ont as individuals.
 The Carnegie Trust Company, long ou the edge of failure, was thrust over ,:'. plecipice by the fail- ure and indictment of Jos cpl .. Ro"a, president of the Washington Savings Sank. and an of- fiCial closely connected with the Northern Bank of New York, which also failed. The publication of pro- ceedings taken by the state banking department against those two banks showed that Robin, who had formerly been a director of the Carnegie Trust Company, had given 1t his paper for large amounts even :; fter his resjgna t:en. and the mere shadow Of a.s name was sufficient to bring CT run which the bank could not with stand.

TORNADO SWFFPS
 OVER COUNTRY Three States Visited By a Twister Yesterday--Many are Dead and Injured

 St. Louis, April 12.-At least a score of persons were killed, hundreds were injured and inestimable damage done to property by tornado which swept from Missouri through the Southeastern corner of Kansas and into Oklahoma this morning.
 Eight persons were killed and ten injured at Big Horn, Oklahoma, a town on the Midland Valley railroad in the Osage Nation. The entire town was devastated. Scarcely a single home of the four hundred in- habitants remain standing, according to messages received late tonight from those aboard relief trains, which went from Pawhuska and Avant.
 The town of Whiting, 25 miles north of Topeka, Kansas, was wiped out. More than thirty persons were injur- cd and upwards of sixty houses blown down. The High School build ing was wrecked at Esl1ridge, twen- ty-five miles south of Topeka and several persons injured.
 The tornado apparently swept on to Netawaka and Powhattan. Both towns report heavy damage tonight. At Powhattan g. woman and a child were killed and large number were injured at Netawaka. A farmer, div ing towards Whiting this afternoon, found Mrs. David Stone, of Whiting, dead in the road. She had beea blown from the steps of her house a half a mile away.
 The most graphic description If the tornado was given tonight at Esk- ridge by George M. Scott, an engineer who witnessed the spectacle from his cab. He saw it sweeping over the country for several miles, cverturn- ing houses and barns and carrying many of them through the air for long distances. The tail end of the tornado hit his train and sucked Ben jamin Resch, his fireman, from his seat in the cab ard hurled him to the ground. He was not seriously hurt.
 One child was killed at Manviile, Kansas, where several buildings we e:e blown down.

St. Francis Levee District. We would issue bonds and in other ways con- duct affairs similarly. The only peo- ple who oppose this have submitted an amendment which I will be glad to adopt.'
 The amendment submitted changes the route to coincide more nearly with the old 'dirt road'' along the railroad, and, with the route as the bill is amended, the road will enter Little Rock via Sweet Home. An- other amendment offered by Senator Toney and adopted by the committee places Judge H. R. Lucas of Lincolg county On the board of commission CTS.
 Senator Toney also took up anoth- CT road bill which had been received in the house Tuesday and of which he was the author, requesting the use of 100 state convicts on the road. "It is asking the state for an appropria~ tion of $5,000 less than has often been given the railroads in gifts of land, and the increased valuation of the land should bring the money tue state should lose on it's convicts back into the treasury in additional taxes in a few years," he said.
 Representative Brown of Cleveland, opposed the bill strongly. He opposed Little Rocks being one of the term inals, declaring that it was an effort to make the city hub, from which all other roads would radiate in time.
 County Judge Joe Asher replied that Little Rock and Pulaski county need no especial help ill the build ing of their roads; that they had built the Benton road at a less cost to the county than to the people.

Pine Bluff Will Reap More Benefits From the Pro-
 posed Road
BEFORE COMMITTEE
Citizens of Lincoln County Appeared and Urged its Extension
 Senator Toney Heard.

It developed that when the Toney state highway bill was brought be- fore the judiciary committee of the state Senate at Little Rock Tuesday night, large delegation of promin- ent and wealthy property owners were present from Lincoln county with many Pine Bluff;ans who favor cd the bill, and that they were strong ly in favor of extending the state highway, already planned from Lit tie Rock to Pine Bluff, to the state farm at Cummins, in Lincoln county, m additional twenty:-seve miles from this city. This idea met with an immediate approval of the Pine Bluff fans and will doubtless be received with much favor by residents Of this county and of Lincoln county. c. L. Wiley, one large property owner of Lincoln county, who thor oughly appreciates and knows the value of good roads, went so tar as to say he would make handsome cash donation to the state to aid it in building the road, if 1t was ex- tended south from Pine Bluff to the state farm.
 Aside from the great value and convenience that would accrue from the improved highway from F'ne Bluff to Cummins, 1t was argued that the state would be greatly benefited, as 1t is now an almost impossibi!ity to get to and from the state farm be- cause of bad roads. I: would en- able the state to move it's cotton promptly to the markets, and espe- c;ally to Pine Bluff, which would be the most convenient market for it. The property owners of Lincoln and ad- joining counties are said to he heart fly in favor of the plan and it is most likely that an amendment, providing for the extension of the original state highway, will be fa7orohiy reported by the Judiciary committee. It was cited that last year several hundred bales of cotton. belonging to the state were stuck fast on a steamboat in the Arkansas river for weeks last fall and that when it was finally gotten to the markets 1t had to be sold at great loss to the state.
 The indications are that the state highway bill will go through beth the Senate and House with little oprosi- ton.
 "This Is measure that should re- ceive ardent support" said President Toney, "The state encourages the railroad and other public service cor porations. but, to our shame be it said, we have not encouraged high way building. This road would be operated much in the manner of the
