his entrance and demonstrated that
they were present in force by defeat
ing a motion to adjourn early in the
by a vote of 327 to 2lS.
The substance of Mr.. Asquith's mo-
ton was that the Bapbury amendment
he rescinded "Notwithstanding any
thing in any standing order of this
House" and that the order of the
House in respect to the home rule
bin take effect as though Mondays
proceedings had not taken place. The
effect of this would be practically TO
begin again the consideration of the
bill at the clause Where the Ban
bury amendment was offered.
Andrew Bonar Law, leader Of the
Opposition, had the floor quickly and
inquired whether there was any pre-
oetient for the governments course
and whether it would not destroy all
safeguards for regularity in the
House of Commons proceedings The
Speaker answered that he could find
no precedent for resembling the deci-
sion of the House arrived at during
the passage of a bill.
Whether it would destroy the safe
guard was matter on which every
member must form his own Judgment.
There was q long discussion on the
parliamentary points and then Mr.. AS

chopped out with axes.
The first of the injured We're TAX

removed to nearby residences and
later taken to- the Deaconess hospital
here. Several of those fatally injured
later died there.
The bodies, as fast as they were
brought out of the wreckage, were
conveyed TO the morgue here to await
identification. Passengers in the Pull

been left open by the head brake
man of the freight train when it went
into the siding to permit the passen-

Firemen and police worked at the wreck
two hours before the first body was
found. Holes were chopped in the tops
OF the cars and the injured supplied with

CHICKENS HAVE
RIGHT OF WAY
Attorney General Norwood Says
State of Arkansas Puts No Limit
on Their Ncfarious Activities
Lax Enforcement of City Laws

Little Rock, April i7.-Now that
spring is here in all its damp glory,
and the barnyard hens have gone
forth to seek new flower beds to
destroy, the following letter by
Attorney General Norwood in re-
gard to chickens will be appreciat-
ed by those who have chickens and
others who have flower beds:
Mr.. L. C. Long, Huntsville, Ark.
Dear Sir:-I am in receipt of
your letter of recent date, in which
you ask me IF man has to put a
chicken fence around his place 50
that other men can raise chickens,
or does the man that has the chick
ems have to make a fence that will
keep his own ehickens?"
| beg to reply that we have no
state law preventing chickens from
running at large, and ordinarily, a
man who wishes to have a garden,
flowers, ETC., is compelled to build a
fence to protect them against the
vandalism of few old hens.
Some municipalities have ordi-
nances preventing the running at
large of chickens, but from the lax
enforcement of such laws, am
constrained to believe that the mu-
nicipal authorities generally have
some Partially for chickens.

PAVING WASHED AWAY
Heavy Downpour of Rain Played
Havoc at Hot Springs.

Hot Springs, April i8.-Park ave-
nue., one of the principal thorough
fares of this city, is being paved
with creosoted blocks, and yester-
days rain came down in such tor
rents that several hundred dollars
worth of the completed work was
washed away. II is believed the
trouble would have not occurred if
the blocks had been laid a sufii-
Client time to have set.
Considerable property damage
was also done at the same time by
the flooding of yards and washing
away of fences and other property.
The mountains adjacent to Park
avenue shed an enormous amount
of water upon that street and nu-
merous floods have resulted, and in
one of them six people lost their
lives. Such an accident as this
could never occur again, however,
as the dry wall drains of that time
have been replaced by strong walls
of stone and brick masonry.
