indianapolis, Dec is. Attorney
James Noel opened the argument for
the government in the dynamite com
spiracy trial today. asking for long
prison terms FOR the forty union iron
workers who are defendants.
Noel termed the denials Of testi-
mony and the interpretations OF ann
biguous discriminating letters as lies
gnd explanations that don't explain
perjury.
In discussing the denials Of some Of
the defendants, he said the defense
feared to call some Of the accused men
against whom there was strong evil
dence for fear the charge Of perjury
would be added to their other Of
lenses.
Noel said it wasn't the question rs
to whether the fight Of the defendants
was just or unjust but whether the
laws had been violated.
A sensation was sprung when an un-
identified woman called private de-
tective's office and telephoned warn
ing Of a plot to blow up the court
house where the trial is on. The de-
fense secuted the rumor but the mar
shal increased the guard about the
building.
John T Butler, Buffalo. n ", vice
president OF the International Associa-
tion Of Iron and Structural Steel
Workers, was Tuesday night locked in
jail after His bond Of $1,000 had been
Increased to $4,000. and after the court
had said he committed perjury in tes.
tifying in his own behalf as a defend.
ant in the dynamite conspiracy trial.

sion in which both the prosecution and

LISTENING AGAINST
 SPECIAL SESSION

Little Rock, May 2l-After listining to arguments against the calling of a special session of the Arkansas legislature to pass an act authorizing the St. Francis Levee District to issue $1,500,- 900, worth of bond with which to rebuild the leveeS of that district during the morning hours, and then continued arguments in the afternoon as to why the session should be called, Gov. Donaghey late Monday declined to issue the call.
 Pres. o, N. Killough, of Wynne, presented the case before Gov. Donaghey in the afternoon session, which was attended by a large number of levee board members, as well as prominent property owners of Eastern Ar kansas. Different people were selected to present the different topics, and to Lem Banks of Memphis who is a large property owner of the district, fell the question of answering the claims of the protestants who claim that the government is soon to take over the levees and build them to a better protection of the land.
 In his argument Mir. Banks reviewing the leyee question ot other states which built levees long before Arkansas began the work, showing that the people must first build the levees and then the government went to work to protect these levees, principally through revetments. He stated that the government had no legal right to take over the levees, and could merely do such work on them as would protect the stream leveed against to keep it in condition for interstate commerce. He said that all the states bordering on the stream would have to pass special acts before the legal re strictions on the government taking over the levees could be removed.
 Going further the Memphis resident stated that the issuing of $1,500,00O in bonds would just be placing an additional embargo of S1 on each acre of the district, where the district would lose at least S5 per acre if it became known the special session would not be held in order to grant the people the relief they sought, or that their farms would be unpro- tected from the next high water. He further stated that the St. Francis bottom is now largely owned by Northern people who could do more to get the North. ern representatives in Congress

lowing statement after the leng- thy conferences:
 After promising you a few days ago that I would hear your petition for an extra session of the legislature, I have withheld from the public any opinion that might have subjected until l heard from you.
 Now l give the following as reasons why the legislature should not be convened in ex> traordinary session:-
 The citizens of the levee dis trict themselves, those who are to be directly affected by any bond issue, are divided on the question of special session, and have received many protests from property owners in the St. Francis basin.
 SThere is no question but that a majority of the citizens of the state at large are opposed to the especial session being called.
 There is no certainty that the legislature, if called together in extraordinary session would pass the remedical legislation that might be recommended in any short length of time. Ger tainly any proposed bill providing for the issuance of bonds in any locality would meet with opposi- tion.
 "A special session might incur great expense and the state treasury is in no condition to sustain additional expense, if it can possibly be avoided.
 "So taking everything into consideration, and mainly the fact that it is evident that large majority of the citizens of the state do not want the special ses- sion, including many of the pro. perty owners of the district af fected, together with the uncer- tainty of the general assembly granting the relief that might be asked, l feel that this extraordin- ary session should not be called.
 In arriving at this decision, am acting as the representative of the whole people Of the state. Individually, l can see how it would be of great advantage to the leyee district if arrangements could be made to start work on rebuilding the levees att once, so that as much progress as pos> slble might be made during the probable good weather of the coming summer and fall. But the convening of the general assembly at any time, in extra ordinary session causes more or less uneasiness, dissatisfaction and unrest among our citizens at, to certain extent is demoraliz. ing to business conditions. What should be a short session is sometimes heightened into a ses- sion of great length. There is much the legislature can do be- sides considering legislation mentioned in the call. New laws can be made and existing laws can be repealed. It is this that causes the feeling of uncertainty among the great msss of the people of the state. The chief executive, when he issued such a call must stand sponser for what ever may be done. Under all the circumstances, therefore, I con. clude that it is best not to con-

to help Arkansas than all of those of the South.
 Among other points touched upon by this speaker was the loss to the lumbermen through the high waters of the recent overflow, and the probability of re>occurence at any time. He further stated that if the fences of the district have been away, that alone will mean an outlay of an additional S100,000.
 In conclusion, Mir. Banks pointed out the only good feature about the floods, saying the ticks have been drowned in the oyer flowed districts, and with the use of a few hundred dollars the cattle in Eastern Arkansas can be rid of this pest this year, which he believed would be done
 A. c. Lang. general manager of the Chicago Mill X Lumber Company, which has a plant at Blytheville. was another of the most interesting speakers. He said that his company, (which has hundreds of thousand of acres in Arkansas, had to have some protection such as was ask ed for and was heartily in favor of the bond issue.
 Pres. Killough stated that the levee board did not propose to raise the present rate of tax in the district, as the present rate was suffiiently high to give the money needed if the bond issue could be made. He also stated that it was intimated that the balance of Arkansas was op- posed to special session for this specific purpose, under the assertion that it was placing too great burden on the greater portion of the state to be taxed for beniHt for the small portion. He showed that if the counrty 1 was unprotected for a year the state at large would lose much more in the way of taxation through the decrease in proper ty value, than the special session would cost. He said that with out the special session the great CT portion Of the state would have to pay much more than the cost through carrying the burd- en on the cost of the state gov ernment that Eastern Arkansas had been raising in the past.
 Il. Fletcher Roleson of Mar jana, was called upon to speak along this very line and stated that when the levee district was formed in 1898 that the taxable value of the property there was only S0,000,000 where it is today S25.000,000. He stated that with. out hurried additional protection that value of this property would be reduced so greatly that the loss of revenue would be felt by the whole state. He argued that the cost of the special ses- sion would be small in compar. ion.
 When the arguments ceased Gov. Donagey stated that he saw no way of cOnsenting to cali a special session, even though he had searched every way to assist the stricken people. He regrett, ed that the county courts can not take action, nor that the Board has legal authority to issue the bonds, which will force the ,c.t A.. ..--l. l..
