Al. ter being produced in the senate Feb l4, 1ysll, by Senator Cummfns, it passed into the hands of other sena, tors, he said, and he never afterward saw 1t or heard of it.

 Facts brought out by the examina ton. indicated that the paper taken by the page might nave been another document that Senator Bailey was exhibiting to the senate. Attempts by Senator Gore to interrupt The tes timony by suggestions were several times the cause of sharp common; by Senator Dillingham;

WILL BE HURRIED TO THE Su- PREME COURT FOR DECISION
 AT EARLIEST DATE.
TWO MEN STILL ON THE JOB
None Of the Important Matters Pend. ing Win Be Handled By Either Until the Supreme Court Ken.

srocial to the sentineI-Record.

Special to the SentineI-Record
 Little Rock, March Governors Oldham and Fntrell both continued on the job of being the states chief executive today, and the offices or each in their respective ends of the state capitol building were the gath ering places Of many friends. some ot whom urged drastic action in the premises
 The first steps taken towards de- termining sust whether Oldham or Futrell is entitled to the job until special election may be called was taken today when through agreement a friendly suit was filed, which it is believed will determine the question i'll the supreme court within a week.
 Governor Oldham issued commits sion to a notary public, exercising an appointive power of the governor, and through prearrangement, Seare- tary of State Earl Hodges refused 10 follow the order Of Lldham, under the presumption that Governor Fut> reil was governor so the matter was hurried into Judge Failk's court, where Governor Oldham was upheld.
 Judge Fulk stated that he had not made lengthy research into the question, but he understood that what was wanted was ruling. ana that either way the matter would be appealed to the supreme court. so ne was inclined to the belief that Old ham was governor
 I'hap ttanfif,xt fr<t. :. a,&f.aaI ff.a supreme court was made. and by peal will be taken up with the sti- Dreme court next Monday and an early decision asked for.
 The supreme court, recognizing the importance of the question. is expect ed to hand down decision within a short time, which will settle the mat ter.
 Governor Oldham and Governor Futrell both today agreed that they would not take up any important mat ters for favor or disfavor until the decision was handed down which would decide the question as to which was really entitled to hold the of ice.
 The bills which were passed in the latter days of the legislative session will become laws without approval after 20 days, and thesefore will not need attention from either of the men who claim the governors office.
 Talk of trouble over tho situation was quieted today There had been some violent expressions on both sides of the question in the closing hours of the legislative session. and the followers Of both the factions pre- dicted there might be trouble but that view of the situation has waped, and there will probably be very little done by either of the acting goyer- nors now nntii the supreme court de cides the question
 In the event Governor Futrell wins he will immediately issue an order for special election for governor. In the event Governor Oldham wins he will probably hold the office him. self for an indefinite period. and per- haps later issue the special election cali.

NEW GOLF RULES CRITICISED.
One Player Believes Much Of the
Code Is SuperhuOus.

BY this time the vast army of golfers
throughout the country have had time to
digest the changes in the rules OF the
game announced recently by the United
States Golf Association and effective Feb
ruary 1. Though there were many
changes. most of them had to do largely
with verbiage; still a change in rules Is
rarely considered deeply by golfers until
actually tried out or studied out after
having been put in concrete form. Thus
it is that comment on the changes is be-
ing heard at this time.
In some quarters one of the changes
has caused adverse criticism. This is
with regard to Rule 4. paragraph of
General and Through the Green and
reads: "A player is entitled at any time
during the play of hole to ascertain
