Little Rock. May 5.-"It is up to Bob Rogers" is the way legis- lators and the public look upon the Legislative scandal that was sprung by Representative Little in the House last Wednesday when he charged that there had been wholesale bribery in the Arkansas Senate.
 Representative Little, who rendered his resignation inn mediately after his sensational speech, is again in his seat, but not participating in the delibera tions of the body. By the. urgent solicitation of many friends, he has consented that his aesigna tion be temporary withheld from the House, bat he refuses to withdraw it, and will insist be- fore adjournment that it be acted upon.
 In the Senate all references to the speech was prohibited by President Toney. Senator Gov ington attempted to refer to it in a speech but a point of order against him was sustained. Sena- tor Jacobson introduced a resolu- tion denouncing the speech as "a cowardly attack" and request ing Mr. Little to appear before the bar of the Senate and make specific charges concerning the use of money in influencing leg islation. President Toney, how ever ruled it out of order, declar- ing that it was improper for -the members of one house to criticise the members or the proceedings of the other. He further declared that the speech was the vapor- ing of diseased mind" tn t should have no consideration. Senator Robertson and others
