FILES PROTEST AGAINST
 THE GRANTING OF LICENSE

Fort Smith, Jan. 1.-The appeal of the Anti-Saloon League from the decision of County Judge Ezra Hester in awarding liquor licenses was filed in the circuit court today, and unless some unforeseen incident occurs the ease will now be heard at the March term of court.
 The Board of Municipal Commis- sioners today repealed that section of the recently adopted saloon ordinance making it prohibitive for the city to issue liquor licnses to persons who have been convicted or indicted in the past year on charges of violating the liquor laws. As result five applica- tions for licenses that were protested by the city were favorably passed upon today both in the county court and by the city administration.

NARNOCK AGAIN PUSHING
 BANK GUARANTY BILL

Little Rock, Jan. 12.-Robert s. Warnock of Columbia, who has sever al times had bank guaranty bill in troduced, and twice sought to have it initiated by the people to lose out through some legal technicality, is again working for the measure.

SOUTH CAOLINA PEN.
 IS ALMOST EMPTY

Columbia, s. C., Jan. 11.-Less than 125 prisoners were in the state peni- tentiary here today as the result of the large number recently pardoned or paroled by Governor Blease. Ap- proximately 2,000 men remain in the county convict squads, while there are 155 in the state reformitory.
 The governors action in granting full pardons to about 1000 paroled convicts was for the purpose of re- storing their citizenship.
 Available records indicate that the governor has granted clemency to l. 674 prisoners since he was inaug- urated, nearly four years ago. He will retire January 19.

PARDONS MAN
 FOR SELLING LIQUOR

Gov. Hays has relieved w. P. Klapp from the penalty of 150 days in jail assessed against him for the illegal sale of liquor in five cases and fined $100 and sentenced to 30 days in jail in each, in Craighead county. The governor has a letter from Dr. H. A. Stroud, who reports that MT. Klapp is such physical condition that 150 days spent in jail would undoubtedly terminate very seriously. The par don is granted upon the express con- dition that if he is ever convicted of the sale of liquor again, or is ever in- terested in the sale of liquor in any way, the pardon becomes null. He is not relieved from the payment of the fine.

MAY MAKE CHANGE IN PRINT
 ING APPROPRIATIONS

Little Rock, Jan. 12.-The indica tions are that there will be change made in the printing appropriations by the present General Assembly. Instead of making a lump appropria- tion for all departments, each de- partment will probably have it's sepa- rate fund. As it is now it is claimed that some departments get more than their share. The fund is now com pletely exhausted, and there is no money with which to print the bien- nial reports, or even the Governors message.

SENATORS BEGIN
 WORK THIS MORNING
Complete Organization First Day. Mi. nor Officers Selected and Big Grind Began. Interest Mani
 Tested Cows Message.

Little Rock, Jan. 12.-With Elmer J. Lundy of Polk elcted President of the Senate, and L. E. Sawyer of Gar land elected Speaker of the House. the preliminary battles have been fought and won, and each house of the Fortieth General Assembly is pre- pairing to get down to business. The Senate will be speedily organized, but the election of all the minor officers of the House must be fought out on the floor of the House, and this will not be concluded today. The Senate held a caucus Monday afternoon for the selection of subordinate officers. and completed the list ready for con- firmation when the Senate met this morning. Committees will be appoint ed soon, and the Assembly will get down to business. It seems to be the purpose of the lawmakers to eXpedi- ate legislation in every way possible, as there is much to be considered and it must be concluded in sixty days.
 Much interest is manifested in the message of Governor Hays. It has been very carefully guarded, and the governor had not concluded with it Monday evening. Heretofore. it has been the custom to furnish advance copies of the Governors message to the press, several days before deliv- cry, but Gov. Hays found it impracti- cable to do so this time. For the first time in several years, there has been no fund for printing of the message, and there are only typewriter copies It is quite lengthy. consisting of more than thirty-fve typewriter pages. The chief feature of the message, it is understood, is the emphasis that is placed upon economy. The more economical management of all the de- partments and institutions of the state, and the better conservation of the states financial resources is dwelt uBcil Dy lHC SONCliloI. II 10 stlSO uil- derstood that he will present some important suggestions for a revision of the states financial system, to the end that deficits such as that now confronting the state may be avoided.
 The Senate put one over on the House in dispatching business by completing it's organization on the first day, and today it is down to real business. Immediately after the cleo tion of Elmer F.. Lundy as president by an unanimous vote, the Senate ad- journed until o'clock when a caucus was entered into at the Hotel Marion and all appointments filled, or agreed upon, and the result of the caucus was ratified in the session of the Senate today.
