 HAS FUEL FAMINE
Low Gas Pressure Brings Demands fer MainS-Suppiy Thought
 Adequate.

TeXarkana, Dec. 10-The cold wave which struck Texarkana last night brought to the front for the second time this winter the fuel question. The gas supply was so low that many families suffered from the cold. The executive committee of the Board of Trade met this afternoon and adopted resolutions calling on the gas con- pany to install 12-inch mains in place Of the eight-inch pipes now in use from it's well to the compressors at Rodessa, distance of 12 miles. It is thought this change would relieve the situation in TcXarkana.
 For the past three years TeXarkana has depended upCn natural gas from the Caddo fields for her fuel supply, but each cold snap recently has caus- ed great deal of inconvenience. Public schools today were dismissed and manufacturers expressed uneasi- ness
 w. IL. Wood, manager of the gas company, said the enlarged mains would be installed within two weeks. President Leo Kreuz of the Beard of Trade said he believed the supply of gas in the Caddo fields to be practi- cally ineXhaustible, but thought the present trouble to be due entirely to the inadequate size of the company's mains from the wells to the compress sOr.

Little Rock, Dec. 10.-- Gov. Dona- ghey returned today from his Eastern trip, having attended a conference of thirty governors at R chmond, Va, and q reception at the White House rendered by President Taft. At Richmond his guests, specially as- signed to nm, were Judge Christian, and Judge Watson, the latter being the jurist who sat in the Beattie case. The conference was in session four days, and many interesting questions were discussed
 Relative to the incident of Gov. Blease, Gov Donaghiey said his speech wt2s political and wholly out of place in such conference, al- though no one objected to it at the time it was made What Blease real ly s3id was "When the constitution of my state gets n my way from protecting a white woman from the hands of black brute, then 10 hell with the constitution"
 Gov. Donaghey says that what ne said on the floor of the conference on the resolution condemning Blease was substantially as follows: My standpoint ,9s citizen and offic al has always been in favcr of law en-
