 BILL IN THE HOUSE

A bill has been introduced in the House of Representatives at Little Rock that is of interest to the Com mission Form of government advo- cates in the city. The measure was introduced yesterday by Representa- tive Osborne, of Sebastian county. 1t follows:
 House Bill No. 37 (Osborne), pro- viding for a commission form of gov ernment for cities with a population of 1S,OOO to 10000. There shall be one mayor at a salary of $2,400 a year, and four commissioners, at a salary of $2,000 a year. It provides for civil service for all municipal en- ployes; also that the commissioners shall become eX-officio boards of inn provement without extra compensa- ton and under bond. Read twice and

the subscribers be reimbursed," said MT. Russell yesterday Without their financial aid the state of Arkansas would not nave been represented in the sui. as there was absolutely no appropriation for this purpose. The members of the railroad commission at that time Cn 190S) implored us 10 aid them and assured us that they would use their efforts to have bill passed by the legislature refunding our money. Though the suit was won by the railroads, it was later carried to the Supreme Court and is there now. The Commissioners did make some effort to get a Il through and two bills approXimating S65, ,000 were passed, but as the amount for refunding our money was not speci- fled the money could not be returned to us. Senator Toney introduced two bills, one in the 1909 legislature and another in 1911, but the House mem- befs were unable to get taIem through before the legislature adjourned.'

 w. B. Plunkett was made treas urer of the fund and what part was not expended in the litigation was re- turned to the shippers. Pine Bluff men received $142.46.
 A bill was presented in the 1909 legislature prov ding $50000 for such emergencies but as the claim of the shippers was not included ill the bill Attorney General Hal Norwool, up on request, gave an opinion to the effect that the shippers could not be reimburssd ou; of that appropriation but stated t,at they should be relm- bursed by lihe state. Bills were pre- sented and passed by the Senate but negligence, t is said on the pari of the Jefferson county representativ4 $, permitted the session to draw 70 a close without bringing Aaem up in the House until the last few days of the session and they were crowded out.
 MT. Russell has addressed a letter to ex-Attorney General Hal l.. Nor wood, calling il s attention to the mat ter and requesting that ne take it up with MT. Plunkett, the treasurer, and assis. in formulating te'a proper bill or resolution which will obtain the desired apprcpriat on. MT. Rus sell also requests that the matter be brought to the atten ion of the pres them to give the claim some atten- tion.
 The Fort Smith and Little Rock shippers who contributed to the fund will also use the r influence ana 1t is probable that t.Ne bill will be in- troduce1 early in the session.
 Among the Pine Bluff firms that contributed are tae Southern Grocery Company. Arkansas Brokerage Com pany, Gillespie and Brothers Grocery Company, C. NJ.

HEAVY FIRES FOR
 NEGRO SH0PLIFTERS
THREE WOMEN ARE BOUND OVER AND GIVEN HEAVY
 FINES
Various Merchants Identify Stolen Goods, Aggreg.lting Value of
 5000.

After an all day session ill the cir cui, sourt room, the magistrate $ of' flee being 700 small to accommodate the defendants, witnesses and court at tendants, three negro women were hevily ned and sentenced on petit larceny charges by Magistrate Gabe Meyer yesterday.
 Mary Sellis was fined $25 and sen fenced to 30 days on the county farm in six cases; Lille Cooper received the same punishment, and Lula Moore was given the same fine and sen tences in we cases. They were also held to the grand ury on charges of grand larceny.
 Three negro men, husbands of tho three women, and another negro named Walker MeMurris, were dis charged as the testimony showed that the only part they had taken in the shOplifting was to permit the stolen goods to be, stored in their homes but as Husbands of the women could not be held as accessories after the fact. They were Major Moore, Nel- son Cooper and Sam Sellis.
 c. G. Gillespie, T. McEwen. J, o. Sivess, Manager Fuqua, of the Ark ansas Short Leaf Commissary; Wolf Nichols, and others, representing firms ta at had been robbed, appeared as witnesses and identified the stolen goods which amounted to about $500. Gillespie, proprietor of a nation store on Main street, was perhaps the heav es.t loser, but recovered most of his goods.
 The negroes were arrs sted Tues day morning by Saer.ff Brews,er's s men and Patrolman Campster. The goods were found at the homes of the negro women and it is the opinion of the authorities that they have been syss ematicially robbing the firms dur ing a per cd covering over two months.
 Attorneys Shaw, Hunt and RoWel' appeared for the defendants and D.s- trict Attorney Nixon prosecuted the cases.
