SUPREME COURT BY UNANl. NOUS OPINION GUSTS OLDHAM FROM EXECUTIVE OFFICE.
 
DECLARES FOR ]. M. FUTRELL
Latter immediately Issues a Call for Special Election 10 be Held July 25th--Quick Change
 Takes Place.

Little Rock, Ark March 24--J. M Futrell is governor of Arkansas, ac- cording to unanimous opinion O.. the Supreme Court of Arkansas, ih an opinion handed down yesterday morning. and w. K oldham, broth er-in-law of Ex-Gov. Joe T. Robinson, who has been holding the office~since the adjournment of the legislature, will now be entitled to write "ex." in the title prefix to his name.
 The arguments in the gubernator- ial situation had been submitted last week and the court had adjourned un- til yesterday morning The decision of the court on this question had been expected, and there was a large crowd of interested politicians at the state house when the court con yened. The opinion was concurred in by every member of the supreme bench adding a finality to the opin. ion which ought to govern in all fu- ture cases of this character.
 Five minutes before the opinion had been handed down Acting Gov ernor Oldham performed his last of fieial act, that of pardoning a man convicted for second degree murder and sentenced to serve sixteen years This pardon was granted to man convicted from Futrells home coun- ty and he had served less than two years of his sentence.
 Within a few minutes after the an- nouncement of the decision, Cover nor Futrell performed his initial of ficial act. the signing of a requsi- ton for man arrested and held in Illinois for the Arkansas authorities.
 From this it will be seen that the executive machinery of the state was not interfered with or delayed in the transaction of business.
 AS soon as the decision was given out Oldham vacated the executive office and Futrell took possession.
 No sooner had he entered the of flee than he announced that he would call a special election to se- feet a new governor at once. and later he issued the call for the cleo tion to be held on July 2S.
 In political circles and with the public at large public opinion was with Futrell and the opinion of the court occasioned but little surprise. Futrell was elected president pro tenn of the senate at the close of the last session, and by virtue of this office was acting governor of the c4ete, according to the provisions of the constitution oldham, who was president of the senate, and whose term had not yet expired, contended that he was still president of the senate and thereby acting governor.
 No sooner had the decision of the supreme court been rendered than there was immdiate activity in poli- tical circles as to the probable candi- dates who will make the race in the special eilection and there have been a large number of names mentioned, and thesjssuance of the call by Gov. Futrell Stimulated the friends of prospective candidates to quick ac- ton
