STATE IS AIDING
FLOOD SITUATION

Little Rock, April 6.-Gen. B. W.
Green, adjutant general of the Ar
kansas National Guard, left Friday
for Barfield upon directions of Gov
ernor Donaghey to look after the food
situation an dpossible relief Of dis
tress. Gen. W. K. Surridge of Wal
nut Ridge, commanding the guard,
wired the governor that he was ready
to go to the front, without pay, to
render whatever assistance possible
and the governor wired him to go OF
his earliest convenience.
The governor is keeping in constant
communication with the st. Francis
levee and other authorities in charge

an increasing gravity in the flood con-
ditons at weak points along the levee.
Reports of distress are also being re-
ceived from several points.

Will CENTRAL
Be MOVED?
QUESTION UP YESTERDAY
WILL BE DECIDED AT MEETING
OF BAPTIST EDUCATIONAL
BOARD WEDNESDAY,.

| The question of whether or not Lit
tie Rock, or any other city, will have
an opportunity to bid for Ouachita
and Central Colleges, will be decided
at a meeting of the Baptist Educa-
tional Board, to be held in Little
Rock Wednesday.
The members of this Educational
Board seem agreed that it will not be
possible to actually remove the col
leges; that they could only be aban-
doned. 1t is said, also, that the
Board is not personally disposed to
consider the question of removal; but
feels that it is driven to some such
action in order to lift their indebted
ness which stands upon the two col
| leges.
News has reached Conway that
| Arkadelphia will come before the
Board next week with an assurance
that the city will contribute $4,000
tc the Indebtedness on Ouachha Col
lege, and to make improvements. At
an informal meeting of the business
men of Conway yesterday afternoon
| It was the consensus of opinion that
| the business interests of Conway pro-
vide the sum of $4,000 for the en-
largement of Central College, after
some of the obligations already con-
tracted by our citizens have been met.
The Baptist Board of Education
has already pledged itself to raise in
the state a sum of not less than S1O,-
900 for the erection of Conservatory
| OF Music at Central College, after the
debts have been lifted from the lnsti-
tuition. 1t is probable that the west
wing will be added to the main build
ing during the present or next year.
The college dormitories are now full
to OVERLOOKING, and President Conger
says it will be easy to add so more
students to the enrolment as soon as
there are adequate accommodations
| for them.
The business men present yester-
dav afternoon expressed their great
qualification at the progress of the
institution under President Conger.

five indictments against Wynne, four
of which charge him with a felony
and one with a misdemeanor. The
bond in the felony cases is fixed at
700 each, and $1,000 in the other.

St. Louis, April "A new plan OF
handling fast freight shipments on
the Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain
system that is expected to prove pop
ular with the patrons is to be Install
ed April l. The important feature is
the prompt information given ship
pers regarding the movement of their
freight.
Under this new method commodl-
ties offered for transportation are di-
vided into two classes-red ball and
ordinary freight. The former group
includes all perishable goods, food
stuffs, furniture, machinery, dry
goods, glassware, oils, hardware, all
import and export freight, and va
rious other commodities. Ordinary
freight is non-perishable and is made
up of all shipments which do not
come within the classification of red
ball.
"Red ball" is fast freight, and it is
made up IN separate trains. "A con-
spicuous cred ball" card containing
the symbol letter and number assign
ed the car is tackled on it, and this
is recorded in a book together with
the contents and destination OF the
car. This record of the train is tele-
graphed to the office of the superln-
tendent of transportation. Every con-
signee of freight is advised on what
day and hour it left st. Louis and
when he may expect 1T.
Check is kept of the progress OF the

graph reports, and patrons are kept
advised. When a car of red ball
