Senate Democrats to Wait.


Informal conferences were held
among democrats, their conclusion
being that there is no reason 1or
unusual haste on the part of the
senate and that action by the house
may be awaited unless the Sims re-
peal bill should encounter unusual
delay in that body. Should the
house prolong its discussion of the
measure unreasOnahly, administra-
ton leaders in the senate may make
an effort to take initiative action
in the upper branch.

 ing in disgust on account of the po- sition taken by these four members.
 6. The attitude of Governor Hays,
 State Auditor Coffman and State Treasurer Crockett Governor Hays, who ought to be in a position to know the merits of the case, has clearly shown that he accepts Dr. Greene's charges as being true and therefore he cannot believe the answer thereto. State Auditor Coffman has stated that he will refuse to honor vouchers is- sued by the discharged members of the board unless he is directed by court order to do so. State Treas urer Crockett is ex-officio chairman of the charities board, yet during the past two years, on account of having no vote except in case of tie. he has declined to sit with the board of which four members have been dis missed; but MT. Crockett presided at the meetings of the preceding board, and it is known that his sympathies in the present controversy are with Dr. Greene.
 That legislative investigation of the controversy will be made is prac- tically certain. Until this is done and Dr. Greene's charges are effectu- ally disproved, and in the light of the circumstantial facts set forth above, we shall continue of the opinion that these four members of the state char ities board made an egregious mistake when they forced pr. Greene to re- sign from his position.

MERCURY DfSCfNDS
 10 Z ABOVE ZERO,
EXTREME C0LDCONTINUFS
MANY CASES OF DESTITUTION REPORTED-LITTLE WARM
 FER TUESDAY.

Two degrees above zero was the minimum recorded on the government thermometer at Conway this morning, marking the coldest December day in five years, and five degrees below the minimum registered Monday morning. in December, 1909, however, a temper ature of 10 below zero was recorded, and this will probably stand as rec ord for many years to come.
 Although it is several degrees warmer this afternoon than yester- day, the weather forecast issued this morning holds out little hope of. any considerable relief. The weather bu- reau today predicts fair weather without much change in temperature for the next 36 hours.
 The extreme cold has caused much suffering among the poor, and many cases of Restitution have been report ed. The social service department of the Conway School and Civic Club is finding it impossible to meet all the demands for relief and are consider ing plans to secure additional contri button. While the supplies donated at the public school on Thanksgiving day have not been exhausted, the club has none of the necessaries, such as flour, meat, coal, etc, and no funds with which to purchase these needed arti- cles. An ample supply of canned and package goods is on hand, however, and relief is being extended to all who apply.

THE BOARDS ANSWER

In the Arkansas Gazette of today tDecember 15) appears the long de- iayed answer of the four discharged members of the state charities board to the charges preferred against them by Dr. J. l.. Greene on November 27. The answer is an adroitly drafted pa- per of great length. It is said to have been written by an attorney employed by these four members, and for whose services the state will doubtless be called upon to pay.
 AS was to be expected, the answer consists in the main of denials and of counter-charges against pr. Greene. The charges are taken up seriatim and practically every reply simply raises question of veracity between Dr. Greene and the four members who signed the report. The charges against Secretary Hart are disposed of by the simple statement that MT. Hart says they are untrue and that the four members believe Mir. Hart. The leading counter-charge against pr. Greene and the one upon which the discharged members apparently rely as proof that pr. Greene is lying and they are telling the truth, is that Dr. Greene is Republican in politics and that he came from the north.
 But we must admit that the answer IS an unusually we'll prepared docu- ment and worthy of the good lawyer who drafted it. It is we'll calculated to bring about some change in the pub- lie sentiment, which has been align ed solidly with Dr.. Greene in the controversy AS we have said, the is- sues are mainly these of facts, which ought to be susceptible of proof. Yet there are some circumstances connect ed with the controversy which should not be overlooked in a reading of the answer to Dr. Greene's charges. Among them are these:
 l. The known and admitted fact that prior to Dr. Greene,s administra- ton the jails of the state were filled with insane persons, and that, with out additional buildings, Dr. Greene has provided room and given treat ment to these unfortunate insane prisoners.
 2. The testimony of former pa tients, many of whom have written to the newspapers and many others of whom have otherwise attested to the. excellent character of treatment they received while inmates of the in- stitution
 g. The fact that Dr. Greene was employed through the efforts of the late Dr. E. R. Dibrell, recognized as the foremost practitioner in his time in Arkansas, who made thorough investigation of Dr. Greenes qualifi- 1 cations before recommending him to the then board of charities
 4 The fact that during the ad- | ministration of Governor Donaghey, i whose charities board, it will be ad- 1 mitted, has never been excelled in ability and integrity, there was no friction between the board and Dr. i Greene, and no word of objection was ever raised as to the superintendent efficiency and fitness for the position. i
