BOARD SEEKS TO
 CONTROL WIRES
PHONE AND TELEGRAPH
COMMISSION FAVORS PLAN AD- VOCATED EDITORIALLY IN
 THIS PAPER.
From Thursdays Daily.


 Chairman W. F. Mcknight, J. Sam Rowland and George w. Bellamy composing the Arkansas Railroad Commission, yesterday gave emphatic endorsement of the passage of an act giving the commission control over telegraph and telephone wires in this state, a policy which has recently been urged in several editorial articles in the Log Cabin Democrat. The com missioners did not state whether they favored in addition the supervision of such other public utilities as gas, cleo tric light and water plants, but in the states cited by them in an inter- view yesterday all public service cor porations are under the supervision of a state commission.
 Today's Arkansas Gazette contains the following reference to the matter
 The members of the Arkansas Rail- road Commission unanimously favor passage of an act by the legislature which will give the commission con- trol over telegraph and telephone lines operating in this state In speaking of the matter yesterday the members urged that the commissions of other states have this power and that the corporations of the state are entirely under control of the railroad or cor poration commissions. Missouri, Ok lahoma and Louisiana were pointed out as examples.
 "There is movement on foot now,' v said J. Sam Rowland, land this move ment probably will result in some such action being taken by the next legis- lature. If the commission only had this power now it could handle the pro- posed increase in rates which the tele- phone company is Said to be preparing to install in Little Rock"
 Chairman w. F.. Mcknight agreed that action was essential in the matter and Major George w. Bellamy was emphatic in declaring the commits sion should have supervision over all corporations in the state.
 "Oklahoma, Missouri and Louis- iana's commissions have these powers and as result the corporations of the states are regulated under the super vision of bodies composed of experts, v he said.

JAMES CARTWRIGHT
 SENT BACK 10 PEN
FAULKNER W|FE-SLAY[R
FROM STATE ASYLUM-M'VEIGH ALSO RE-
 GAINS MIND.

Little Rock, Feb. 7.-James Cart wright, white man who was convlct- ed in Faulkner county in October 1909. of murder in the second degree for the murder of his wife, has been transferred from the asylum to the penitentiary. He has Q sentence of Fl years.
 John McVay, the one-legged white man from Jefferson county, once un- der the shadow of the gallows for murder, has also been. transferred from the state insane asylum to the state penitentiary.
 It is one of the noted cases in the states criminal history. He was con- victed of the murder of J. T. Ethridge at Pine Bluff, and sentenced to hang He became insane, and strong ap- tpeal was made to Governor Robinson to save his life. The governor went to Pine Bluff in person to make an in- vestigation. and then granted Q com mutation of sentence to life imprison- ment on account of insanity. The convict was then transferred to the insane asylum, and several days age Dr. Green certified that he had suffi- ciently recovered to be returned to the penitentiary. Two of his brothers Cullen and Ed McVay, who were con- victed of murder in the second degree in connection with the same crime and sentenced to 12 years in the peniten- tiary, are now on the state farm. Johr McVay is unable to work on the farm and will probably be given employ. ment in the tailor shop.

AUDITOR 10 MAKE FIRST CALL APR|L25
STATE DEBT S668,682.99
.SHERIFFS TO BE ASKED FOR PARTIAL SETTLEMENT ON
 STATE GENERAL FUND.
from Tuesdays Daily.

Before leaving Conway yesterday afternoon State Auditor L. L. Golf man informed the Log Cabin Demo crat that he will issue the first call for partial settlements by the sheriffs of the state on the state general fund on April 25. Auditor Coffman stated that he would probably request the collectors to pay in about 60 per cent of their total collections on this fund on that date, and that this amount will practically retire all the out standing state warrants.
 The matter is one of particular in- terest in Conway, as all of the funds for the support of the State Normal School come out of the general reve- nue fund, and ever since last August it has been necessary for the members of the faculty and all employees of that institution to discount their war rants in order to draw cash on their salaries. Local banks have been car rying these warrants at discount equivalent to eight per cent annual in terest.
 Auditor Coffman has inaugurated a new custom in his office and now is- sues daily a statement showing the exact financial condition of the state. "At the close of business Saturday, he said, ''the outstanding unpaid war rants on the general fund totaled $668, ,68299. The total revenue from the state general tax this year will be in round figures $1,000,0O0. A 60 per cent settlement with the sheriffs on April 25, together with the liquor license and other revenue, will prac- tically retire all outstanding warrants on that date.'
 Auditor Coffman stated that there were considerable sums of money in the state treasury to the credit of va rious other funds, but none in the general revenue fund. In the Confed- crate pension fund, for instance, there was $8,604 at the close of business Saturday.
 Mir. Coffman says that he is receiv- ing much encouragement in his race for reelection, and believes he will receive a large majority at the March primary.

FAULKNER CONVICT
 SEEKS A PAROLE LEE HARRIS MAKES PLEA BOY CONVICTED OF CRIME AGAINST COUSIN ASKS TO
 BE GIVEN CHANGE.
From Mondays Daily.

rTOm DaHy
 Asserting that he has served in the penitentiary sufficient length of time to be entitled to parole, provided he can get the promise of situation and can make bond for $1O0, Lee Har ris, convicted in Faulkner county in 1910 and sentenced to 10 years inn prisonment, makes plea through the columns of the Arkansas Gazette Sun day for someone to come to his aid.
 Harris, who was only about 15 years of age when convicted was tried in the circuit court of this county on August 30, 1910, and on September 1 the jury was discharged on account of being unable to agree. His alleged crime was an assault upon Mary Hen ry, his cousin, a young girl living near Mt. Vernon. The girl testified against him in the trial and there was appar- ently little doubt in the minds of the jury as to the defendants guilt, but the members were unable to agree up- OH Cnc leIlStn oI lihplI IoouihOhI' Oi the last ballot taken before the jury was discharged, the vote stood seven for seven years and five for three years imprisonment. Harris then en- tered a plea of guilty to the charge and Judge E. M. Merriman sitting in the place of Judge Lankford, pro- nounced sentence of 10 years upon him.
 One-third of the sentence had been served last month and Harris IS now entitled to parole if the penitentiary commission sees fit to grant it. His communication to the Gazette follows:
 'State Penitentiary, Feb. 7, 1914. -"To the Arkansas Gazette:

TAKE NO ACTION ON SALARY ORDINANCE COUNCIL HOLDS MEETING MEASURE TO ABOLISH MAYORS
 SALARY READ ONCE AND
 NOT DISCUSSED.

An ordinance abolishing the salary and fees of the mayor and cutting the lcompensation of the marshal and re- corder to less than half the present amount, which was introduced last night in the city council jointly by Aldermen A. J. Meadors and R. B. Me- Culloch, was read once and allowed to take it's place on the calendar without discussion. When the ordinance was introduced Mayor Duncan is said to have inquired who drafted it and ex- pressed the opinion that if the right man" was elected mayor at the forth coming primary there would be no further action on the ordinance. As stated yesterday, the proposed ordinance would abolish the present salary of $2O per month to the mayor and also require him to pay into the city treasury all fees collected in the trial of cases. The marshaps salary would be cut from $50 to $25 per month, and he would also be required to turn the fees collected by him into the treasury. The salary of 5he re- corder would be reduced from $12O to $50 per year.
 Aside from the introduction of the ordinance little business of import ance was transacted. The ordinance committee was instructed to draft an ordinance requiring property owners to lay sidewalks in all places where deemed necessary. The mayor report ed the assessment of $5 in fines during the month of January and the marshal reported the collection of an equal amount.
 Alderman Meadors requested that street crossing be laid across College avenue at Davis street and the matter was referred to the street and alley committee.
 Accounts were allowed as follows: Mayors salary, $2O; marshaPs salary $50; recorders salary, $1O; w. M. farrell & O., for fencing used on Watkins street, $31.50; s. V. Love- land, waste pipe from Faulkner Coun- tv Bank water fountain, $8.50; Grum- mer Hardware Co.,, tools, $1.2O; total, $12O.9O.
 For a consideration of S4O, the council granted 99-year lease to J. D. Collier and J. w. Holt on portion of lot 2, block 4, Robinson's plan.
