JAIL BREAKING EASY.

Walking out of the city jail at Hot Springs seems to be about as easy as walking through Happy Hollow.' Charles Everitt, regarded as one of the most notorious criminals and one of the cleverest forgers with whom the police of America have dealt with in recent years, escaped from the city jail there few days ago, while being held for the Seattle, Washing ton authorities, to be taken back to answer. many charges of defrauding Seattle banks out of large sums of money. IA Seattle officer was at Hot Springs ready to return him to the Western state when he made his get away. He has not been recaptured.
 There is evidently something rotten in official circles at Hot Springs. Con- lin, another clever criminal, made his escape from the city jail at the Springs several months ago, in about the same manner as Everitt. Con- lin was wanted at San Francisco and an officer was there to take him away when he left unceremoniously. An investigation would do Hot Springs some good in this line. It is disheart- ening to good officers to know that iails cannot hold criminals after they are run down after months of shad- owing and pursuit

Tnc Steam E.notue.


 The Maranis of Worcester while i'm pri5oped ia the Tower of London in lG56 invented and constructed a per feet steam engine and had it publicly exhibited the same year at Vauxhal in successful operation Thirty-fouT years later, in 1890, Dennis Papin add cd the piston to the marquis discovery. In 1898 Captain sayary devised and built steam engine different in many details from those made by Worcester and Papin, and in 17O5 Newcomb. Caw- ley and Savary constructed their cele- brated atmospheric engine. which was complete fn every detail. The above array of historical facts notwithstand- !:s. James Watt who was not born until sixty years after these great men had given the steam engine to the world. enjoys the distinction of being the, veritahle inventor, originator and author of the most useful contrivance of the present day. Fulton, who lived and worked in the early part of the nineteenth century, is given the credit of being the man who demonstrated that steam could be applied to naviga' tion-this too. in face of the well known historical fact that De Gary propelled a vessel by steam in the har- Dor of Barcelona in 1543.-St. James Gazette.

he had introduced providing for the same. The purpose of the amendment is to reach a con-
 dition which, it is agreed, could not be remedied py statute. None of the pro- posed amendments have yet been fought out on the floor, and the work i. bling up on the committee that has them in charge.
 The first of the bills for the SUD- port of the state institutions was in- troduced Wednesday afternoon by Senators Oldham, being a bill for $120,00O for the Deaf Mute Institute. The total amount appropriated in 1909 was $1S2,716, of which $52,57O was ve- toed by the governor, and of the re- mainder $35,000 was saved by the Board, leaving the total amount used in the maintenance of the school for the biennial period $94,146. During the past two years the average has been 226 pupils in the state. It is stated that Prof. I. B. Gardner, of the institute, is in full sympathy with the financial condition of the state and feels the importance of saving every dollar consistent with the proper man. agement of the institution. During the past two years it was necessary to reduce the term from eight to sev- en months due to lack of funds.
 Senator Johnson introduced a bill appropriating $10,0OO for a geological survey. Senator Dill offered bill to make Prairie Grove city of the sec ond class. Senator Henderson in- troduced a bill providing that no fath- CT. mother, child, widow, or collater- al kindred shall inherit or be endowed with any property of any person whose life he may have feloniously taken, or been accessory before the fact in the killing of such person. Senator Ram ey introduced bill providing that a foreign insurance company may loan money on Arkansas real estate to the amount of $30.000 and deposit mort gage for same in the state auditors office in lieu of the $20,000 now re- quired. IA bill by Senator Fletcher was passed requiring railroad conn., panies to employ competent men as engineers and conductorsA A House bill by Kerwin to pay $8,837 back sal aries of cifcuit judges was passed in the Senate The Senate passed bills

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE. Delivered By Carrier
LEGALITY OF FREE BRIDGE.

The address of Attorney N. J. Can't, the prominent young local lawyer, before the Retail Merchants Associa- ton Tuesday night, will probably re- suit in united effort on the part of the business men and the taxpayers of this city to secure a free bridge for Pine Bluff at the earliest possible day. He has defined the law, govern ing an improvement district, the for nation of which seems to be the most effective way to secure free bridge udr. Can't, after careful investigation. is confident that there will be no legal entanglements that might prevent the building of the bridge.
 There is one thing certain, Pine Bluff and Jefferson county must have a free bridge and have it with out further delay. There is nothing that will aid more to develop Pine Bluff and Jefferson county than free bridge. It is doubtful if two new railroads would result in greater fi- nancial benefit to the merchants and property owners.
 The richest section of Jefferson county is on the North side of the Ar kansas river. The merchants and property owners of that part of the county have been reaping harvest for the past several years from busi- ness that rightfully belongs to Pine Bluff. Pine Bluff is the natural bus lness hub of the county. Its business men, as a rule, have developed the section north of Pine Bluff in past years and are entitled to receive the benefits from such commercial and Agricultural expansion. But the bus 1ness men of Pine Bluff have remain ed idle and let other towns north of the city enjoy the fruits of their la- bors.
 Naturally there will be some oppost ton to free bridge. There is op. position to everything in Pine Bluff md this also applies to other cities and towns. where taxpayers are con tinually complaining about the thigh cost of living" and the excessive tax rate.'
 Attorney Can't solved the question Tuesday night by advancing the sug- eestion that some of the residents oi the rural districts, who might not be directly benefited by free bridge md who would naturally object to its <onstruction, be taxed according t the benefits they would derive iron such an improvement,
 ! MT. Can't said he believed that ev ory man in Pine Bluff would sign { petition for the formation of the i'm sprovement district. He spoke iron 2 public spirited standpoint and with. out bias predicted that every mal would enjoy benefits from his sigma '1nre

''PR0iI.' BILLS
 ARE PLENTIFUL Three State Wide Prohibi- tion Measures in the Leg islature For Approval.
SIX AMENDMENTS TOO
Heating Plant Money Appropriated Kerwin's Bill Allowing Back
 Salaries Passed.


 tions are that there will be at least three statewide prohibition bills in the Legislature. One has already been introduced, (H. B. No. IA, by Kersh, providing for submission to the gen. eral election of 1912. An intellectual attempt was made Wednesday by Rep resentative Hurst to amend by permit ting an alternative vote at the same time on local option. This was bit terly fought by the Prohibitionists, who insist that there be no complica- tions in the measure. This bill is now in the hands of the expressing committee and will soon come up on it's final passage. The Anti-Saloon League bill to originate in the Senate, for submission to a special election June 26, will soon be introduced. Rep resentative Hardage, of Clark County, has drawn a bill modelled after the Schafer bill of several sessions ago, providing for submission with refer endum clause This bill will seek to prohibit the sale of intoxicants by any one in the state except druggists, on tue prescriptions of physicians, and a complete record of all liquors sold, amounts, to whom and for what pur- pose, must be certified to the circuit court.
 Governor Scores Victory.
 The governor scored a victory in the Senate Wednesday when, after several days of hard fight, a bill was passed. 22 to ', providing for the pay ment of bill of $75,0OO for the tenn porary heating plant at the new state capitol and other things in connection with the preparation of the building for the meeting of the Legislature. Senator Covington made a fight to place the bill back on second reading, declaring that the heating plant cost only s3S,0o0,, end he did not know what ''other things" were. President IOneV, IFOIu Cuo llOOl Sdlu IIdI tIiC enemies of the bill should not kill it with amendments and delays and fn- sisted upon it's passage. Senator Keel argued that it should be defer- red until the Senate Capitol Commit tee had reported. Senator White, au- thor of the amendment providing that the money be paid out of the capitol fund, replied to the opposition that $75,000 was already itemize6 Sena- tor Covington during the forenoon made two strong arguments against it, but his motion was lost and the bill passed by vote of 22 to T.
 There are six proposed constitu tional amendments in the Senate, and an equal number in the House, but neither body has yet passed a resolu- tion for the submissions of any one. The latest to be offered is a resolution by Senator Holt of submitting to the people the question of franchise tax, after the, withdrawal of a bill

fol the Augusta special school dis trict and the Higden special district. The Senate passed the McBee bill pro hibiting the sale of intoxicants in Crittenden county.
