 turaI institutes.

Western Newspaper Onion News Service.
 Little Rock.-Dean Martin Nelson Of the College of Agriculture of the Uni versity of Arkansas and the balance of the agricultural faculty have re- turned to Fayetteville after spending the summer in conducting farmers in stitutes at different points in the state. These institutes have been held at the county seats of nine counties. Magnolia, each institute lasted week and practical lectures and demonstra- tions were given each day from about S:30 in the morning until 4:30 in the afternoon. A total of 2,150 farmers were enrolled in the courses and a large majority of these attended prac- tically all the lectures given during the course of the institute. The last work done was at Hot Springs, where q course lasting for three days was given to about 70 of the government agricultural demonstrators, who were assembled in Hot Springs for their annual meeting.
 1t is the purpose of the university to continue this work to as great an extent as possible throughout the fall and winter and to go into it in the summer of 1914 on a greater scale than ever Practically all the places at which institutes were held this summer have made requests for an- other one in 1914 and many additional requests have come in from other coun- ties. It is probable that throughout the fall and winter number of week end institutes, lasting for two or three days each, will be held in various counties

New Development in Eastern Arkan'
 sas Controversy.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Marion.-Announce was made by Sheriff Louis Barton of Crittenden county that indictments against various members of the St. Francis Levee Board of Arkansas had been placed in his hands for service. Other than that the alleged indictments, which he said were among those re- turned by the Crittenden County Grand Jury, referred generally to the admin, istration of the affairs of the board, MT. Barton refused to make public the nature of the charges.
 Barton said members of the board will be required to report at Marion at once.
 Developments came as climax to differences between members of the board and residents of the territory bordering the Mississippi river and protected by levees under it's jurisdic- tion, the dispute dating back to the floods of last spring when the fight to hold the levees intact was unsuccess- ful The dispute eliminated recently in the removal of Eugene Williams as treasurer of the board, his reinstate- ment at a subsequent meeting and the refusal of H. w. Morrison, named to succeed Williams when he was depos- ed, to turn over the books to Williams when he was reinstated.
 Several days ago compliant was made to Gov. George w Hays by tax payers of several counties along the river front as to the conduct of the boards affairs and in an effort to ad- just the differences, the governor is- sued call for a mass meeting of citi- zens to be held at Marion, September 30,
 When informed of the indictment, Gov. Hays expressed surprise and said he had no intimation that charges were to be filed.

NJ DANGER IF A
 SPECIAL SESSION
GOVERNOR SAYS HE HAS NO IN TENTloN OF, CALLING LEGlS-
 LATURE-OTHER PLANS.
MIR. MOOSE GIVES HIS OPINION
Says it Would Be Unconstitutional to Divert Capitol Funds-May Bor-
 row From Banks.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rock-It is now almost an as- sured fact that the Arkansas Legisl- ture will not be called into extra ses- sion.
 Governor Hays has expressed him self as being strongly opposed to calling a session of the legislature.
 q have said from the first time the subject was proposed that l have no intention whatever of calling an extra session of the legislature. This is still my intention. Under the circum- stances, 1 cannot see that any good can come from it, whereas much harm might result. have the plans in view that hope can be worked out to take care of the expenses of the State charitable institutions. and the neces- sary expenses of the State govern ment"
 The main object in calling a ses- sion of the legislature would be to au- thorize the state officials to transfer money from the capitol fund into the general revenue fund. However, At torney General Moose, in an opinion handed down, held that it would be un- constitutional for the legislature to try to divert a portion of one fund to some other fund where such fund had been created by taxes for a speci- fife purpose, as in the case of the state capitol fund. Such an act would be in violation of article 16, section II, of the state constitution. In the opin- ion of Judge Moose, all acts of former legislatures, whereby such transfers have been made, have been in viola tion of the constitution.
 At a conference between Gov Hays and a number of local bankers plans were devised for call on the financial interests of the state in the interest of the general revenue fund. It has been the plan of Gov. Hays for some time to present this matter to the Arkansas bankers and request their cooperation in relieving the dificit of the general revenue.
 It is estimated by Gov. Hays that at least $230,000 will be required to run the. sfates general expenditures be- tween this and the time for the col lection of the next state taxes. With d deficit in the general fund it be- comes imperative to take some step of remedial nature.
 Gov Hays idea is to secure advan- es from the banks over the state, in cluding the banks of the smaller cities, at nominal rate of interest, this loan to be repaid when the taxes come in.
 A call for a general conference of the banking interest of the state for October 13 will be issued to decide on definite plans for revenue and to see just what the banks are willing to do for the state.
