 SPECIAL SESSION
GOVERNOR SAYS HE HAS NO IN TENTION OF CALLING LEGlS-
 LATURE-OTHER PLANS.
MIR. MOOSE GIVES HIS OPINION
Says it Would Be Unconstitutional to Divert Capitol Funds-May Bor-
 row From Banks.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rock-It is now almost an as- sured fact that the Arkansas Legisl- ture will not be called into extra ses- sion.
 Governor Hays has expressed him. self as being strongly opposed to calling a session of the legislature.
 T have said from the first time the subject was proposed that 1 have no intention whatever of calling an extra session of the legislature. This is still my intention. Under the circum- stances, I cannot see that any good can come from it, whereas much harm might result. I have the plans in view that hope can be worked out to take care of the expenses of the State charitable institutions, and the neces- sary expenses of the State govern ment."
 The main object in calling ses- sion of the legislature would be to au- thorize the state officials to transfer money from the capitol fund into the general revenue fund. However, At torney General Moose, in an opinion handed down, held that it would be un- constitutional for the legislature to try to divert a portion of one fund to some other fund, where such fund had been created by taxes for a speci- fic purpose, as in the case of the state capitol fund Such an act would be in violation of article 16, section II, of the state constitution. In the opin- ion of Judge Moose, all acts of former legislatures, whereby such transfers have been made, have been in viola ton of the constitution.
 At a conference between Gov. Hays and a number of local bankers plans were devised for a call on the financial interests of the state in the interest of the general revenue fund. It has been the plan of Gov. Hays for some time to present this matter to the Arkansas bankers and request their cooperation in relieving the dificit of the general revenue
 It is estimated by Gov Hays that at least $250,000 will be required to run
 
 tween this and the time for the col lection of the next state taxes. With a deficit in the general fund it be- comes imperative to take some step of remedial nature.
 Gov. Hays idea is to secure advan- es from the banks over the state, in- cluding the banks of the smaller cities, at nominal rate of interest, this loan to be repaid when the taxes come in.
 A call for a general conference of the banking interest of the state for October 13 will be issued to decide on definite plans for revenue and to see just what the banks are willing to do for the state.

 Little Rock-A delegation of promi- nent citizens of Helena called on Sen ator James P. Clarke to urge improve ments on the levees at Helena, for which Congress made an appropriation some time ago of $100,000. Senator Clarke told the gentlemen that he would take the matter up at once with h. zl.~..

SUES HARD COAL TRUST
McReynOlds Files Case Against the
Readings Monopoly.

Philadelphia. sept. 2-Attorney
/ General McReynolfs's first and most
! important attack on the Hard Coal
| trust" was begun here today with the
! filing of a civil suit for the dissolution
/ of the Reading @company'S control of
coal mining and coal carrying railroads
the most potential combination in
! the anthracite fields.
4 The Reading company with its sub
| sidiary and allied Corporations, includ-
/ ing the Central Railroad of New Jer-
! sey and certain of their officers and di-
rectors. are charged by the federal
| government with violating the Sher-
| man antitrust law and the comm obi
! ties clause Off the interstate commerce
| act in an attempts to monopoliZe the
| production and ds5tranSportatiOn of an
| thracite. This com animation controlling
at present So per cent. of the entire
unmined deposits of anthracite and
marketing about 80 per cent. of the
annual supply viii own or control in
! time if not dissolved, the attorney gen.
era1 warns, every ton of commercial
ly available anthracite known to exist.
The importance of the suit is en-
phasized with the declaration that in
this case only the law can afford re-
lief. E+t--
It is pointed out that in almost every
other industry it is at least possible
for monopoly to be broken by the
influx of fresh capital attracted by
high profits. but against a monopoly
of hard coal, the supply of which is
limited, there can'sbe no such protec-
ton.
Today's suit is the second step of
the department of justice to solve the
"hard coal trust situation since the
decision of the supreme court last De-
cember cancehng the so-called 65 per
cent. contracts and ordering the disso
luton of the Temple Iron company.
The court held the government had
failed to prove general combination
among all the coal carriers and left
open to future litigation the so-called
minor combinations of which the
Rea ding is the most imnOrtant
