ROBINSON RESIGNS
 TIE G0VERNORSHIP
ACTION OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF ARKANSAS IS SURPRISE TO
 WHOLE STATE.
HAS GONE 10 WASHINGTON
Issues Pardons. Commutes Sentence and Performs Marriage cere-
 mony on Last Day.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rock, Ark.-GoY Robinson has resigned. This was the news that surprised Arkansas Sunday
 Mir Robinson's last actio.s were to commute the death sentence of W. s. Rhea to life imprisonment. Perform the marriage ceremony that united Miss Bertha Merriwether of Memphis and his former private secetary, Wal ter c. Hendricks, whom he recently appointed judge of the third division of the Pulaski and Perry circuit court
 Granted six pardons
 As governor of Arkansas, signed his own commission as United States senator from Arkansas.
 Sent his resignation as governor, to take effect at once, to w. k. Oldham, president of the state senate, who thus becomes acting governor.
 Left immediately for Washington to take up his duties as United States senator 5N
 Mr Robinson's resignation came as a surprise to most every one, as it gen. orally was believed he would continue i'll office until the legislature adjourn ed, at least.
 His resignation written at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon, is perhaps the most brief document of it's kind ever written. It was addressed to Senator Oldham and read as follows:
 This is to inform you that I have this day resigned and hereby tender my resignation as governor of the state of Arkansas, the same to take effect at once.'
 When this message was delivered to Senator Oldham he immediately pro, ceded to the governors office where the affairs of the, state were turned over to him. -atzz-
 Gov. Oldham refused to make any statement to the newspapers after asuming office. He said he was no lawyer and preferred keeping silence till he knew his grounds better.
 The acting governor did consent, however. to let it be known as coming from him that he did not believe the legislature would be able in the few remaining days to pass the necessary appropriation bills. But he would not say whether he will call an extra ses- sion of the legislature if the bills are not passed.
 May Be Big Tange.
 One opinion is that the vacancy in the office of governor having been fill ed before the end of the legislative sesion, the president pro tenn will not succeed Senator Oldham This, it Is asserted, is why Governor Robinson decided to vacate the office before the end of the session.
 Should the present holder not call a special election the question has been asked who will compel him to do so and how they will proceed to compel the action,
 And another problem would present itself should special election not be called. The present acting governors term of office as senator will expire in September, 1914. In this event, the question arises as to whether the present pro tenn of the senate would succeed him until the regularly elect ed governor assumes office early in 1915.

The fight on the militia appropria- tion began soon after the night ses- sion was called to order The motion by Davis of Lafayette that the bill be tabled failed by a vote of 2S to 41.
 Kidder of Pulaski declared that he hoped the occasion would never arise when the governor has no state guard to call out for the protection of the people in case of riot or epidemics, and said that because two or three drunken men created a disturbance at Fordyce the entire guard sould not be condemned. He said that there are hypocrites even in the church, but that for this reason the churches should not be condemned.
 Davis of Lafayette said the legisla- ture was there to appropriate money for the cause of education, and not for "murdering machines. '5 He declar- ed that this is a civilized age, and there is no use for the militia. When asked by Grant of Johnson if he did not know there is resurrection" going on down in Mexico, he said that the honest citizenship is ready to de- fend the country, and may generally be found on the job when the militia has done run off"

 During consideration of the, bill Shouse of Boone county, issued word of warning to the members who sought to prevent the cutting of the appropriations. He said that there is a sentiment growing in his county for the total abolition of the university. He said that he had even heard of the possibility of bill being initiated by the people for this purpose.
 Boggs of Little River said he would like to see such a bill initiated. He said that the general sentiment to- ward the university then would be as- certained, which might result in bet ter support of the institution.

Yer Branch Expected to Make Big
 Reductions to Which Senate Would Agree.

Stern Newspaper Union News Service.
 efinite action was taken on two ap-
 Driation bills, those for the main-
 ice of the University of Arkansas
 kour agricultural schools, byt the
 E.e. In addition to this the general
 opriation bill, after being consid-
 in committee of the whole, was
 srted on faVorably.
 le agricultural school appropria-
 went through with practically no
 $Iction, except at the Thrid district Aool, Magnolia, where a cut of $12,-
 was made voluntarily by the sen
 from that district. After declining
 make the reductions sought by the lttle axe" brigade, the senate cut further discussion and amendments Fought the previous question: be- k demanded. The bill was then pass
 and sent over to the house.
 &rhe only reduction in the University
 Arkansas appropriation was the Elimination of the item appropriating a5,010 for the purchase of farm for 4e | ricultural department, and the ,00O provided for the summer school. his bill was also saved from further Hitting by the previous question" af- er which the bill passed. There was tile discussion on the measure, after seitems cut out had been placed back
 the bih1~The principal of these was he increase of the appropriation for he sub-stations and soil survey of the agricultural department, back to $1O,- poo. It was cut to $b,U9S.
 The attitude of the senate on the bills, was to let the house do the wrangling over the reduc- tions, and then pass the bills as they come from the house, for should the senate cut, the house would still fur ther make reductions, and the senate would then have to concur ln the or call for a conference to reach an agreement.
 The general appropriation Dill was considered but short time, the post age account of the commissioner of agriculture withstanding an effort to reduce it from s1,500 to $4S0, after which the house bill was amended by placing back in it the item appropriat- ing S1 200 for a day watchman at the old statehouse, raising the salary Of the stenographer in the land office to s2.400 and the cutting out of $3,- GOO rate clerk for the railroad com mission. An effort to eliminate clerk in the land office with salary of S2,- 400. failed. The committee of the whole then reported the bill favorably.
