PETITION COURT TO
 STOP ROCK CRUSHfR
FRED HOLDER WANTS STATE HIGHWAYS COMMISSION
 ENDOWED.

Little Rock, Dec. 10-Alleging that the members of the State Highway Commission are unlawfully and wrongfully embarking upon a com mercial enterprise in the operation of the rock crusher at the Weigel rock quarry site, Fred Holder, attorney and former First ward alderman, yes terday petitioned the Chancery Court
 for a restraining order, to enjoin members of the commission from mak- ing contracts for the manufacture, sale or delivery of crushed stone and from dealing from anyone except road districts that may be created in the state.
 Chancellor J. E. Martineau is in Searcy, having adjourned court until his return. The complaint alleges that the commissioners engaged in the business of crushing commercial rock contrary to the intent of the act creat- ing the commission and that tax-pay- ing citizens will be subject to ire parable loss unless the court enjoins them from further work.
 There is no truth in any of the statements contained in the com plaint,' said R. G. Dye, chairman of the State Highway Commission, last night Attorney General Moose has been requested to prepare an answer for the Highway Commission, and this answer will be filed within very few days. The Highway Commission entered into these contracts after con sulting competent legal authorities.

LOW PRICED LANDS
 ATTRACT TEXANS HERE

The marked contrast in the prices of lands in central Texas and in this section of Arkansas is apparently
 having the unusual effect of turning immigration back eastward. At least this is the opinion of E. Atchley, whd arrived in Conway with his family to- day from Cleburne, Tex. MT. Atch- ley was here several days ago and ought 180 acres of land six miles east of Conway at an average price of
 about S10 an acre He states that good farm lands in the portion of Texas from which he comes have ad- vanced as high as $200 an acre, a value so high that it is almost impos- sible to farm them proftably. Five or six other families from that sec tion, he states, are planning to move to Faulkner county at an early date.
