 The negress claimed that some time ago Powell had broken clock belonging to her and had on sever al occasions promised to fix it. How ever, he had failed to do so and she, growing tired of his unkept promises, decided to make him do it.
 So she concealed a razor in the folds of her garments last night and meeting him, again requested that he repair the broken artcil.e

U'SU-------- PAY TRIBUTE TO SENATOR DAVIS

The senate of the United States on Sunday held memorial services paying tribute to four congressman and three senators who have died within the past few months. Tributes were paid to the late Senator Jeff Davis, of Arkansas, by Representative s. M. Taylor, Floyd, Oldfield, Jacoway and Goodwin. Congressman s. M. Tay- Tor, of Pine Bluff, said:
 "That sen9tor Davis, as a political campaigner had no superior in Arkan- sas His friends and supporters as wei as his oppontnts, attended his political meetings in great numbers He was not an eloquent speaker, bat he always entertained and interest ed his apdiences.
 We may quarrel with his deduc- tions and decry his methods out the fact rmains that the people largely bs lieved in and followed him. He rose from obscurity to the heights of re; nown, and died on the crest of ths wave"

dragged out the hearing until August r in order to have the time limit eX- pire.'
 In view of the contention of the at torneys for the Taxpayers Protective Association that the Bridge Commls- sion did not give the anti-Bridge peo- pie sufficient time at the hearing of protestants, the statement of MT. Oracle that the hearing was drawn out purposely to accomplish some thing at Washington that they did not succeed in accomplishing, shows conclusively that their efforts to amend the Wilson bill ill the senate are not prompted by any sincere de- sire on their part but merely for the purpose of blocking the needed 1m- provement at any cost
 At the time the Taxpayers secured an injunction it was openly stated by an official of the TaXjayers' Associa- tion that the only object they had i'll view in securing an injunction, was to delay the Free Bridge work until the Legislature convened, when they hoped to bring about repeal of the Free Bridge act
 The insincerity of the anti-Bridge people, who have dwindled from an al- legged majority to an actual 106, the exact number of those who filed pro- tests against the Free Bridge as easements at recent hearing of the board of assessors, is reflected through the public utterances of their chief counsel, Attorney Oracle.
 The Free Bridge amendment meas ure, which has now gene to the sen ate, will probably be added to there by Senator White, who has shown himself to be absolutely unfair to the Bridge advocates and who can accom- plish absolutely nothing in trying to ''kill the amendment" with amend ments in the senate, for the amend ment has not only the endorsement of the Bridge advocates, but the few remaining anti-Bridge people. Attor- ney Oracle admitted before the House judiciary committee that the amend ment included in large measure provisions that the Taxpayers have been complaining about, and because that they were not inserted in the original bill.

STATE NEWS NE;

CAN LEGALLY MAKE BOND ISSUE
 Little Rock, Feb. 24.-At the request of members of the legislature who favor bond issue of $750,00O, the proceeds of which to be used for the cancellation of the states present debts, and financing the state insti7 tuions until sufficient revenue is raised under a new system to be ln- augurated by the legislature, the law firm of Rose, Hemingway, CantreH & Loughborough has prepared a lengthy opinion in which they hold the bond issue can legally be made.
 The report from one of the leading law firms of the state will be read ln the general assembly, r. after which Governor Robinson is expected to send in special message urging the pas sage of the Newton bill whcih pro- vides for such bond issue.

"The bond feature Will eliminate us, if the bill passes that way, for we. cannot make such 8 bond The bill specifies that the bond must be in such shape that if Judgment is found against us, the state can De paid out of it. We would have to put up $2OO,0OO cash to meet these re- quirements.
 "The talk o1 us being indebted to the state is all bosh. There is over $90,00O due us in retained per cent- ages and in approved work by the commission, to say nothing of other work for which we claim remunera- tion."
 Many of the legislators favor the removal of the $200,000 bond feature, merely requiring the contractors to give bond for the costs in case the state wins. The feeling here seems to be to have the matter gone into and settled, and if the state does not owe the contractors, to let the matter drop, and get it out of politics. They
