EXTRA LEVY OF
 } MILLS ASKED
SCHOOLS NEED OF FUNDS
IS DISCUSSED IN REPORT OF COMMITTEE OF CONWAY
 BOARD.

An extra levy of three mills, to be collected with the regular taxes and turned into the funds of the Conway school district, is suggested in a re- port of a committee of the local school board as means of relieving the present financial situation of the dis trict. The directors will ask the vot- CTS of the district to give their con- sent to this eXtra-legal levy at the an- nual election, May IS, and they be- lieve practically unanimous consent will be obtained from the taxpayers. Unless this means is adopted, the com- mittee states, it will be necessary to put the school on a tuition basis or to close it for one year, neither of which the directors think would be advisable. The additional three mill levy, which will add only 30 cents on each $100 assessed valuation, is re- garded as a more equitable means of meeting the needs of the district than private subscriptions.
 The report of the special committee, which was adopted by the board is as follows:
 Directors of the Conway Public
 School:
 'We, as the committee appointed by you to devise some means or make some arrangement whereby the finan- cial situation of this school district could be remedied. find that it will be imperative that the board do one of two things or the public to do another, so as to be able to continue the school each year hereafter to it's fullest time, and meet the conditions that will come up. The first two things, one or the other, should the public not come to the rescue, can be, in our opinion, to place the school from a certain grade upon the tuition basis, or dismiss for one entire year. We believe the public should be made familiar with these condition so that it would be impress ed more fully on their minds the ne- cessity of following the other plan which We suggest should be placed be- fore them at the coming election. We know the seven-mill tax is the limit according to law, that can be forced as a collection, but we believe We can separately have the public express themselves at the coming school cleo tion and on vote get them to agree to pay three-mill tax additional fo1 one or two years, which will, We think relieve the conditions, but not then give us enough to enlarge the school facilities, which is almost imperative In any event, it would not be good policy to pay any indebtedness now that we can possibly refund and ex- tend for number of years. It may be possible that We could refund and get enough money to build a $10,000 building which could be starter for a high school building to be added to and completed as we become able to do so.

BALL PLAYERS
 ARE RE|NSTATFD

Baseball fans at Hendrix College were delighted by the announcement in chapel exercises this morning that the faculty had decided to lift the sus- pension of the five members of the ball team and permit them to engage in regulation association games dur in" the remainder of the season. This means that Hendrix will get back into the championship race and endeavor to repeat last years achievement of winning the state collegiate pennant
 Coach w. O. Wilson said today the team is in good shape. Although it seemed for a while that no games would be possible this year, the sus- pension of the players weakening the the team to such an extent that Coach Wilson disbanded the squad, but the players kept up their daily practice and are said to be in good condition. Efforts are being made to secure two games with Ouachita at Conway, which are the only contests Hendrix had cancelled. The remainder of the schedule with the collegiate teams will be played as originally scheduled. Hendrix will play Cumberland at Clarksville Monday and Tuesday and probably go to Fayetteville for games with the University Wednesday and Thursday

LIZZIE BREAKS

The log cabin Democrat., 1912-04-13

Marshal w. E. Clibourn received a telegram from Charles Davidson this afternoon that the levee at Arkansas 1 City broke this morning, and the town was inundated.
 Little Rock, April 12-"By Satur- day morning we fear that Lake Vil- iage will be swept away was the startling message received by Cover nor Donaghey Friday afternoon, from Attorney Will Kirten, over long-d dist ance telephone.
 MT. Klrten said the levee had boken and the rush of waters was inundat- Ing the city, being already three feet deep in the railroad station The peo- pie were in panic, and immediate as- slstance was imperative. It was fear ed that the town would be destroyed, just as Napoleon was years ago at the mouth of White river.
 At the same time is was reported that the water was running over the top of the levee at Helena, and that a break was momentarily expected.
 Earlier in the day messages had been received from o. N. Killough. president of the St. Francis Levee District; Mayor J. L.. Dean of Lux ora, Mayor J J. Ledbetter of Blythe vile and others to the effect that the engineers had give up the fight; that the levees were in imminent danger of breaking, and should they go out. there would be great loss of life as we'll as property. They reported that the resources of the levee board are exhausted, and that the local levee engineers are worn out, leaving the cit lzens to cope with the situation. The water had not yet begun to recede and they expected fight of many days duration. For this reason, they urged that U. $. engineers at Memphis send experienced men to assist in the work, as they could not hold out much 1 longer.
 Governor Donaghey wired Lenten- ant Hanna, U. s. A., who is in charge of the government relief work at Wynne, Forrest City, Marianna and Helena, to extend his scope of opera tions to include Lake Village, Arkan- sas City, Luxora and Blytheville.
 Requests for aid for Lake Village and Arkansas City were sent to Mais, Smith and Normoyle. Governor Don aghey is in constant touch with the situation, and while he has no availa- ble state funds with which to provide relief, the services of the state guard are at the command of those in need for relief purposes, and the governor IS doing much in directing the relief campaign. He has been in the over- flowed district once, and expects to go again soon.
