RESENTATIVE w. B. w. HEARTSiLlS DEATH A SUR-
 PRISE WAR VETERAN
OLDEST MEMBER OF BODY
Home Was in GreenWood-SurVived by Wife and Chiidren-Curio
 Collector.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rock.-Representa Wylie Blount Wright Heartsill of Greenwood Sebasatian county, died unexpectedly here in local hospital.
 When the news of the death reached the statehouse both houses adjourned. When the body was sent to Greenwood In a special car committee from the general assembly accompanied it.
 Representative Heartsill was - years old and probably was the oldest member in either branch of the legis- lature. He was horn September 13, 1S40, at Louisville, Tenn, and served with distinction throughout the Civil war. During the last three years of the war he was a captain in the Con- federate army.
 Mir Heartsill was elected represen. tative from Sebastian county in 1907 and again in 1909. Then skipping a term. he was elected for the third time in 1912.
 He was studious and read the great CT part of his leisure time.
 lie also took an interest in the col. lection of antique articles and heir looms, and at the time of his death possessed probably the most extensive and valuable collection of it's kind in the state.
 One article in his collection, prob ably valued by him above all others, is clay teapot which is perfectly plated with silver. The teapot is known to have been in the Heartsill family for more than 600 years. It is said that the plating of clay with silver is a lost art now.
 Representative Heartsill is survived by his wife, two daughters, Mrs. Wal ker Gentry and Miss Christine Heart sill, and three sons, all of whom live at Greenwood.

APPROPRIATIONS KEEP SOLONS BUSY THE AXE FREELY USED IN EF- FORT TO STAY WITHIN
 STATES FINANCES.
SENATE LETS HOUSE WORK
Lower Branch Expected to Make Big Reductions to Which Senate
 Would Agree.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 Definite action was taken on two ap- propriation bills, those for the main- tenance of the University of Arkansas and four agricultural schools, byt the senate. In addit to this the general appropriation bill, after being consid- cred in a committee of the whole, was reported on favorably.
 The agricultural school appropria- tion went through with practically no reduction, except at the Thrid district school Magnolia, where cut of $l2,- 900 was made voluntarily by the sen ator from that district. After declining to make the reductions sought by the battle axe" brigade, the senate cut off further discussion and amendments drought the previous question be- ing demanded. The bill was then pass ed and sent over to the house.
 The only reduction in the University of Arkansas / appropriation was the elimination of the item appropriating SIb,UuU LOI lllc pui ShacC VI a ie'i 'iA AC' the a, agricultural department, and the $4, ,OOO provided for the summer school. This bill was also saved from further cutting by the previous question" af- ter which the bill passed. There was little discussion oh the measure, after the items cut out had been placed back in the bill. The principal of these was the increase of the appropriation for the sub-stations and soil survey of the agricultural department, back to $1O,- GOO. It was cut to S6,000.
 The attitude of the senate on the appropriation 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 in the amendments or call for conference committee to reach an agreement
 The general appropriation bill was considered but short time, the post age account of the commissioner of agriculture withstanding an effort to reduce 1t from Sl,500 to $4S0, after which the house bill was amended by placing back in it the item appropriate ing $1 200 for a day watchman at the old statehouse, raising the salary of the stenographer in the land office to $2,400 and the cutting out of a $3,- GOO rate clerk for the railroad com mission. An effort 10 eliminate clerk in the land office with a salary of $2,- 4OO failed. The committee of the whole then reported the bill favOrably.
