Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, May 90 The
forty-second annual meeting OF
the Arkansas Press Association
concluded a three days session
here today. There wree about
400 newspaper workers present,
and thirty new members were
elected. The attendance was
larger than ever before, and
there was a greater proportion
of wives and daughters than u
sual. The members of the Asso-
citation were most lavishly and
bountifully entertained by the
Little Rock Press Club and the
citizens, and the three days
were filled with receptions, en-
tertainments, luncheons, and
sightseeing, interspersed with
some necessary business ses-
sions.
The following officers were e.
lected: President V. A. Beeson
Of the Morilton Headlight; Vice
Presidents, Claude Mann of the
Malvern Times Journal G. A.
Berry of the Huttig News, and
T. L. Pound of the Danville DEM
ocrat; Ed McCorkle of the Star
of Hope.
There is an interesting con-
test on for the next meeting
place of the convention, invita-
tons having been extended by
Harrison and Pine Bluff, and the
indications are that Harrison
will win out. 1t is planned that
the last day and night OF the
convention will be passed at Eu-
reka Springs.
After a spirited discussion on
Tuesday afternoon, a resolution
was adopted to the effect that it
is the sense of the Association
that the subscription price OF
weeklies should be advanced
from 81 to $3.50 per annum.
This was not in any wise bind
ing upon the publishers, and
many expressed themselves as
opposed to it, but a majority
considered that the increased
cost of raw material, and the
higher cost of al commodities,
should justify an advance in the
subscription price of the news
papers.
Among the distinguished Wis
itors present from outside the
state were, Wright A. Patterson
Of Chicago, editor-in-chief OF
the Western Newspaper Union.

Washington, D. c., May 20. -
Justification will be the reply
of William Rockefeller and other
high officials of the New Haven
railroad in reply to Mellen's
story of West Chester Amalga-
nation. Mellen's criticism will
be repudiated if the directors
are called to testify.
Although only 26 miles of rail-
read was secured for thirty-fve
million dollars, it will be ex-
planned that it was six track
and equipped with high power
engines and frst-class rolling
stock, extending from the Har-
lem river to the Connecticut
line and will eventually be worth
many times the purchase price.
