 Representative Vreeland, of Nevada, continued his analysis of the report of he monetary commission and made m exhaustive review of the plans for ! national reserved association.
 Repres ntative Frank Clark, of Nlorida, made sensational charges against the Department of Agricul- ure had issued "Colored reports" re- ,arding drained lands in Florida and encouraged investors to buy land ,ractically worthless.. s47'sffiiie- F Ire charges were made before the so-called Moss committee of the House, which inves- igated the Wiley-McGabe controver- y, and the committee voted to instt- ute another inquiry into the depart nent.
 Senator Root introduced bill ap- )ropriating $2,0O0,000 for a mammoth all in Washington to he known IS he George Washington memorial and be used for balls and celebrations
 The Democratic senators remained caucus for more than an hour.
 They considered the resolution of ,enator Newlands for the appoin;- nent of the two additional members the finance committee,s but came o no definite decision. The matter vas left to the committee on commit- ees for report. The only other mat CT discussed by the Democrats was 1eed of a so-called Legislative coin- nittee" whose duty it will be to keep he Senate informed as to the legisla- i've situation at all times and to in- sure the Senate scrutiny of all bills passed.

We will al ways have something to sell after supplying our home trade and tho merchants, business men and citizens will be prosperous"

TWO MORE JURORS TAKEN TUESDAY The McVay Murder Case
 Moved Slowly in the
 Circuit Court.
WANTS A. NEW PANEL
Judge Grace Discharges TaIesmcn and Orders Sherihf to Bring More
 in From the Country.
After Judge A. B. Grace, in the

After Judge A. B. Grace, in the Jefferson circuit court, who is hear ing the case of the State against J. M. McVay, under indictment for the al- legged murder of J. w. Ethridge in thls city on November 20, 1911, had excus- ed nineteen talesman, after the State had excused three and the defense four, leaving a total of 22 talesmen to be heard from, without securing more than two jurors, all of the req maining talesmen were discharged by the court Tuesday afternoon and Sheriff Brewster was ordered to sum- mon special venire of 35 for Tues day morning. The court ordered the sheriff to get the talesmen from the country districts outside of Pine Bluff.
 This action was taken by Judge Grace after a greater part of the day had been used in trying t. complete lllt Jul Ol llNS Clldl udu UGcll SSllI III to the jury box on Monday. Many Of the talesmen who were discharged, af- ter being questioned frankly admitted to the court that from what they had seen, heard and read of the tragedy they were afraid tEat they could not give the defendant a fair. trial even after the evidence mad been submit- ted Each of them were in turn dis qualified. Two new witnesses were added during the day, J. c. Hightow CT, mechanic, and Charles P. Clem- mons, a farmer, making the total num- Der of jurors in the box seven. The state has used six challenges and the defense eleven.
 Many of the prospective jurors call ed yesterday were discharged because they went on record as being opposed to capital punishment. Some of them stated that they did not question the right of the state to inflict the death penalty, but they did not want to be one of twelve men to send a man to the gallows.
 Deputy Sheriffs Green and Williams continued to enforce the order of Judge Grace throughout the day and searched every man who entered the court room for firearms.
 It is most likely that a jury will have been secured by noon Wednesday and that the opening statements and taking of testimony will follow.

 Tho citizens of the Magnetic Cen Ter City are expecting great thinss from the five lines leading into her limits as I consequence of th' ac- tieH Of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific and the St Louis and If99 Mountain lines at Little Rock. fhe city has always been generous in it's granting CT privilege to the roaas coming iuio her limits and il is not unlikely That within the next few days the ron will return the cour- tfay of these laHors by proportioncd UHlldt IttlS Fp tHf iAtHlilAii

nouncement was enthusiastically ap- plauded.
 The committees that will start out today to insure the coming of the Pine Bluff and Northern and Anderson and Saline River roads will also dispose of stock in what will be known as local terminals and un- ion depot site, which is to be used by all roads entering this city. It is the purpose of those behind the project to raise $25,O0O or $5O,oo0 with view to organizing a local company to lease and maintain the terminals. P. P. Byrd and Ben
 Altheimer, and J. H. Allen jointly stated at the meeting that they would subscribe ten per cent of the stock to be issued for such an en- terprise. It is planned to permit
 railroads to jointly use the right of way and terminals, paying the stock holders reasonable rental for the use thereof. In this manner rail- roads will avoid the necessity of building their own terminals and 1t will also have a tendency to central ize traffic
 The joint terminal idea is not a new one. It has been successfully carried out in many cities in recent years and has proven fine invest ment for local capital
 When the committees go out today to dispose of the bond issue for the Anderson and Saline River Railway the business men and others will be asked to subscribe for bonds in ac- cordance with previous announces ment. It is contemplated that the road will cost approximately $50o,- 900. Messrs. Altheimer and Allen propose to pay s200,000 of that amount in cash and the balance is to be realized out of a sale of bonds, aggregating $3OO,OO0 These bonds are to be secured by first mortgage upon the entire properties of the new railroad and there will be no other lien or claim ahead 2f them It is proposed to issue these bonds ill denominations ranging firm $100 to $1,00O each. They will bear interest at six per cent per annum, payable semi-annually. In this way not only will the large investor purchase these bonds, but many persons of moderate means and on small sal aries can purchaseSa bond, paying $5 per month thereon and receiving a bond 1r $100 at the expiration of twenty months, as the agreement is to pay only per cent per month of the amount subscribed for.

Mrs. Snead Declines to Take the Stand to Aid Husband
 In Fight For Life.
FATHER TESTIFIES
Says She is Insane-Edward Cobb Deals the Defense a
 Hard Blow.

Fort Worth, Texas, Feb. 6.-Mrs' Lena Snead today became the pivotal factor in the trial of her husband, J. B. Snead, for the murder of Captain A. G. Boyce ST. The fight by the a. torneys for the defense without the court room to induce her to testify Ill favor of her husband has overhadow- ed the fight within. So far she has declined to take the stand.
 Capt. Tom Snyder, father of Lena Snead, was on the stand all the after- noon today. He testified that his daughter was really insane, that Snead proved good husband and that the Boyces, led by Captain Boyce, his lifelong friend, plotted to steal Snead's wife and keep her with young Alfred Boyce, merely to prevent AL fred from leading a profligate lire Snyder said the elder Boyce admit ted this much to him.
 The defense suffered hard bio" today when Edward Cobb resumed the witness stand and refuted his tes' timony of yesterday, when he declar- ed that Captain Boyce had informed him that Albert and Mrs. Snead would return to Fort Worth and live together. Today he denied that Boyce ever made such remark.
 He resumed the stand only after bitter clash betwen attorneys for botA sides and Judge Swayne.
