Bars Liquor From Dry Counties.

A dry bill, even more radical than
the prohibitionists want, was passed
by the house. When the attention of
the body was called to it by Hay of
Galloway, a few vets and some of
the drys rallied and refused to recon
slider the vote by which it passed.
The measure was introduced by
Representative Orr. 1t prohibits the
shipment of liquor for any purpose
into dry counties. Hay discoyeAed
that it prohibits the shipment of IL
quor into local option counties even
for medical purposes. This was more
than the drys wanted, and they fought
for reconsideration of the bills pass
age.
Speaker Hull ruled that a two-thirds
majority was necessary to reconsider,
but the most the drys could muster
was go votes, while the friends Of the
bill polled 81.

pert Bill Passed.

Jefferson City.-A temporary solu-
ton of the convict law vas reached
by the passage by the house of the
Crossley senate bill authorizing the
contracting of prisoners at an incfease
of 5 cents a day over the old rate of
20 cents until December 81, 1915.
With the end of the session close
and no prospect of deciding on some
way to care for the prisoners unless
by contracting them, an imperative
need was felt for immediate action.
Many members did not favor con-
tracing prisoners at less than IS
cents a day, and the house already
had passed a bill to this effect.
DUNN of Cole declared it would be
impossible to obtain this amount, and
that if the house adopted such an
amendment to the senate bill, as pre-
scented by Swiers of Christian, con-
tractors would not bid for the labor.
In that event the governor would
have been compelled to call a special
session of the legislature to appropri-
ate $500, 900 for the support of the
prisoners during the next biennial
period.
The sentiment of the Republicans
seemed to be with the Democrats, in
favor of abolishing convict labor as
provided in a bill passed by the last
legislature.
Strenuous objections have been
raised by free labor to employing the
convicts at manufacturing anything to
compete with free labor, and until, the
passage of the bill there was a grave
possibility of the prisoners being idle.
The O'Brien bill prescribing a 12-
hour day for firemen in st. Louis
passed the house by a vote of 118 to 2.
The Towson bill authorizing a
$4,000 appropriation for the trans
portation Of Missourians who fought
in the battle of Gettysburg to the
peace jubilee at Gettysburg next July
also passed.

In many years. Martin Simons &

were the victims and the property
stolen includes $25O,O00 worth Of jew

5000 0 in securities.
The thieves entered the pawnbrok.
ers' vaults by a tunnel from an abut-
ting building. The police are of the
opinion that six cracksmen we're en-
ployed on the job and that the tunnel
ing required all of Saturday night and
the greater part of Sunday. 1t is
their belief that the robbery took
place while hundreds of persons were
| passing along the street. A janitress,
peering through the window of the
shop, noticed the litter near the vault
and gave the alarm.
Tunnel Discovered In Cellar.
The police found that the tunnel
was begun in the cellar of a house in
Eldridge street adjoining Simon's
place. 1t was driven through the wall
of the Eldridge street house and into
a woodbin in the cellar of the Simon
store.
There, leading up into the pawn
broker shop, is a flight of stairs. They
were wired for a burglar alarm, how
ever, and the thieves avoided them
and sawed away the overhead floor
ing at a spot directly in front of the
vault, which stands II feet high and
is built into the wall. 1t was entered
by chopping away the masonry. ST.
mons & Sons was literally p~atronized
because the interest charged was be-
low the legal rate.
Watches Piled Foot High.
The looters left behind them in the
litter about the vault three pairs Of
gloves. The police are of the opin
ion the cracksmen wore the gloves,
realizing the extent to which the fin
ger-print bureau of the police depart
ment is capable of going in detecting
crooks.
Watches and other jewelry of less
value, packed away in 260 drawers
and compartments, were not taken, al
though they had been pulled from
their places and dropped on the floor
until they were a foot deep.

Legislature Reaches Agreement on
Appropriations, AdIourps-Gov-
ernorshlp in Middle.

Little Rock, Ark.-After repeat
ed reports by joint conference
committees over lens in the general
appropriation bill, which had been the
bone of contention between the two
houses, the house and senate reached
an agreement and adjourned at noon.
The conference agreement averted an
extra session. This was the first SEES
sion of the legislature under the 60
day limit, recently put into the con.
stitution.
All appropriation bills were taken
care of, except for the state guard.
This organization will be disbanded
April l, leaving Arkansas the only
state without militia. A fight was
made on the organization because of
alleged excuses by guardsmen during
a trip to military mhneuvers several
months ago, when they shot up the
negro section of Fordyce.
Among the last acts was one to fur
nish seats for I'M employees when
not actually engaged in work. An
act creating a state bureau of labor
and statistics also passed.
The gubernatorial muddle, with two
aspirants for office as acting governor,
has not been cleared materially by
the legislative adjournment, further
than to indicate that Acting Gov. w.
K. Oldham, former president of the
senate, proposed to hold on as long
as possible, despite the fact that the
senate has elected a new president,
John M, Futrell, who qualified as pres
ident pro tempore and lieutenant gov
ernor and will attempt to exercise gu
bernatorial privileges.
