LEGISLATURE MAY
DEFY 60-DAY ACT

Little Rock, May members of
the legislature are declaring that the
next session will be longer than go
days, Notwithstanding the fact that
there is little doubt the Norwood
amendment is adopted providing for a
6O-day session. Being a coordinate
law-mak;ng branch with the people,
the legislature, it is claimed, will have
power to amend, repeal or postpone
any act passed by the people under
the initiative, and it is intimated that
it may not be considered convenient
for the members to get through their
work in 60 days next session. An eff
ford will probably therefore be made
to postpone the short session law I'M
til 1915.

wife cold in death. Two hours prev

explanation of her demise is heart
disease. That death came suddenly
is indicated by the position in which
she was discovered, no indication of a
struggle being noticeable. Besides the
heart-broken husband, she leaves six
children, ranging in age from an in
FAINT to the eldest, II years old. The

OUACHITA SEEKS
TO CANCEL GAMES
From Fridcy's Daily.

From Frdcy's Daily.
An attempt upon the part of Coach
Miller of Ouachita to cancel games
with the State Normal May Is and
16. at Arkadelphia, VIII not succeed
with the consent of Coach Nixon, who
states the excuse that the games
might not prove financially profitable
is not valid one. Coach Nixon re-
ceived letter from Coach Miller to-
day, stating that he could not play the
Normal according to the contracts, on
account of the fact that Henderson
had spread the report in Arkadelphia
that the Normal had no team which
could interest Ouachita and the
games would cause him a financial
loss.
GAS a matter of fact, it seems very
clear that Ouach:ta does not want to
play any more games" said Coach
Nixon today. "They claim to have al
ready clinched the state collegiate
championship, yet they have not play
ed Arkansas College at all and have
two more games scheduled with the
Normal OF course, Ouachita is lead
ing in the race at present, and would
prefer to take no chances of losing
two games. AS to the financial end of
it, we played Ouachita at Conway and
lost considerable money on the games,
but the records show we won one Of
the three games and held the visitors
to close scores in the other two. Our
team has greatly improved since we
met Ouachita here, and | believe we
are sure to win one if not both the
Arkadelphia games. If Coach Miller
insists on cancelling the games, l
shall have to ask the executive COM
mittee of the State Athletic Associa-
ton to declare them forfeited to the
Normal"

RIVER IS FALLING
AT FORT SMITH
q FEET AT LITTLE ROCK
ARKANSAS WILL GO TWO FEET
HIGHER THAN FLOOD STAGE
AT LITTLE ROCK.
From Thursdays Daily.

With the Arkansas river falling at
Fort Smith today, the danger of Sc
rious overflow is considered as having
passed Section Director H. F. Alicia
tore makes no change today in his
forecast issued last Tuesday, to the
effect that the river will rise two feet
above flood stage at Little Rock and
Pine Bluff. This stage will not en-
danger the levees in Faulkner county,
and, on account of the amount of
head water in the Cadron being
small, it is not thought that much
Cadron bottom land will be overflow
ed A considerable acreage of unpro-
tected lowlands on the river front,
however, will be covered, but the fall
is expected to come within few days,
in time to allow planting on the over
flow lands.
The stages of the Arkansas at 8
O'Clock this morning were as follows:
Fort Smith, 27.8, a fall of 2 foot;
Dardanelle, "a, rise of 1.6 feet; lit
tie Rock, % (hood stage), a rise of
2.5 feet; Pine Bluff, 24.S, rise of 3.8

The river forecast today follows:

rise Highest stages expected: Lit

27 feet.
