Both Speaker Clark and Vice Presi-

are departments enough and until some

Congress II would be unwise to accede

BEAUTIFUL DARING
WESTERN GIRLS
AS Much At Home On a Horse
AS City Girl In a Troll
ley Car.

In no part of the habitable
globe are there better lady riders
than can be found in the west.
A girl must be able to ride if she
wants to visit her neighbors Of
ten. And how some Of these
young creatures can manage a
horse. What pictures of beauty,
daring and health they are as
they come dashing along at full
speed, playing games, chasing
each other or racing just for fun.
Indeed, horseback riding is a
common and easy pastime to a
wild western girl" just as troll
ley riding is to a city girl.
The Western girl goes every
where on horseback. She can
join a set of equine quadrilles or
Virginia reel and gallop twenty
miles on an errand without feel
ing the slightest fatigue. She
keeps company" goes to school,
visits her next door neighbor"
(maybe fifteen miles away all
on the back of her favorite pony.
Yes, the Western girl can GER
tainly ride, as you will readily
perceive when you witness the
performance of the bevy of
Western Beauties with Kit Car
sons Buffalo Ranch Big Three
Ring Wild West Circus. Watch
them in the Hippodrome Races
note their skill and fearlessness,
be enchanted by their beauty,
spellbound by their achieve
ments, and awakened to the
pleasures and enjoyment of the
competition by their silvery
ringing laughter.
There are many things worth
seeing with this splendid attrac-

Mitchell Wrote Davidson Fare.
well.

wen.
Little Rock, Sept. 16.-That
E. G. Mitchell, attorney for Odus
Davidson, wrote the farewell
letter which had Davidson's
name signed to it, and that Da-
wilson never saw the letter, was
the statement of Prosecuting
Attorney Seawell, who was in
Little Rock yesterday and who
conferred with Governor Hays
about the matter.
After Davidson's execution at
Harrison for the brutal murder
Of 18-year-old Ella Barham, a
letter was produced purported to
be signed by Davidson. In it the
doomed man said that he realiz-
ed that he must hang, that there
was no hope for him, but that
he wished to declare his inno-
cence before he died.
'In defense of Governor
Hays" said Mr.. Seawell last
night, 81 might say that l
strongly protested against a re-
prieve. When Mr.. Mitchell filed
his petition for a rehearing, he
asked the Supreme Court to
pass it until this fall. That is
known. The record shows that
at the time the supreme court
denied his petition for the re-
hearing, it also denied his mo-
ton for delay. These are facts
that cannot be denied, and show
that despite charges Mr.. Mitch
ell has made against the govern
or and others, myself included,
he was resorting to trickery
throughout the whole proceed
ing, attempting to stay the exc
cution of man who was found
guilty and who was guilty, and
who, 1 have heard, was told by
his attorney that he was guilty.
''The governor was actuated
by the purest motives of right in
refusing to interfere.
eff anyone desires to know
the full history Of the case, l am
willing to furnish data from the
record. It is my opinion that a
man who not only defiled one Of
the purest girls that ever lived
in North Arkansas, but cruelty
mutilated her body and laid it on
a lonesome hillside for hogs to
feed upon, was convicted OF the
crime and paid the penalty OF

HAYS SAYS NO
EXTRA SESSION
Will Be Called But Has Other
Plans For Relief of The
State.
Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Sept. 16.-"I have
said from the first time the
subject was proposed, that |
have no intention whatever of
calling an extra session of the
legislature. This is still my in
tentlon. Under the circumstance
es | cannot see that any good can
come from it, whereas much
harm might result. | have other
plans in view that | hope can be
worked out to take care of the
expenses of the state charitable
institutions and the necessary
expenses Of the state govern
ment.'
This is the statement made bv
Governor Hays Monday even
ing in answer to a question as
to whether he would call an ex-
ira session Of the legislature for
the purpose of providing a
means for taking care of the
expenses of the state govern
ment.
For several days, ever since
State Auditor Cofman offered
the suggestion that the legisla-
ture should be called in extra
session to borrow a quarter of a
million dollars from the state
capitol fund, Governor Hays
has been the recipient Of num-
erous messages from all parts
of the state for and against the
proposition, some urging him to
call the session, and others be-
ing as urgent that he should not
do so.
Attorney General Moose ad-
vised Auditor Cofman Mon
day, informally, that in his o.
pinion, Mr.. Coffman's plan
would be unconstitutional, cit
ing the following:
article XVI, Sec. 11-No tax
shall be levied except in pursu-
ance of law, and every law i'm
posing a tax shall state dis
tinctly the object of the same !;
and no moneys arising from a
tax levied for one purpose shall
be used for any other purpose. :"
'This makes it clear to my
mind" said Judge Moose, "that
the legislature would have no
power whatever to borrow any
money from the state capitol
tax to be used for any other pur-
pose than that for which it was
specifically levied. 1t follows
that if the legislature in the
past has diverted any specific
levy for another purpose it has
acted unlawfuhy."
Thus it appears that all pros
poets Of a special session of the
legislature have passed, and
that the administration will en-
deavor to make arrangements
with the banking institutions
of the state to carry it's credit
for whatever may be needed I'M
til the revenue is available
next year.
