ARKANSAS RIVER
 STATES BIG ASSET

Little Rock, April 2S.-Among the distinguished visitors in the city Wednesday was United States Senator Jos. B. Ransdell of Lake Providence La. He was returning home from the Southern Commercial congress at Muskogee, and stopped over in Little Rock to call on personal friends. He was driven over the city, viewing many scenes of interest, and called on Gov. Hays and Mayor Taylor.
 Senator Ransdell, who is president of the National Rivers and Harbors congress and one of the most enthusi- astic promoters of water ways inn provement in the United States sen ate, says that there are wonderful potentialities in the Arkansas river. Cheap transportation will open up the coal beds of western Arkansas, and cheap coal will give a great impetus to manufacturing and commercial en- terprises. He cites the fact that the Monongahela has been improved by the national government at a cost of about $7,00O,000, and it has made Pittsburgh one of the greatest manu- featuring cities of the world. It is not exaggerating to say that equal possibilities exist in Arkansas.

 UNCONSTITUTIONAL Two Stockholders of Bank of Pine Bluff Answer Com
 plaint of Commissioner.
FIGHTING ASSESSMENT
w. K. Graham and \. w. Nunn Con tend They Cannot Be Held Liable Because They Contracted Obliga.
 tions Before Act Was Passed.

That the. state banking act is un- constitutional and void, insotr as it affects their liability to an assess ment of 100 per cent of the amount of their stock, because it conflicts with sections of the federal and state constitutions, is the defense set up by w. E. Graham and A. w.. Nunn, who filed answers yesterday to the siuts instituted against them and several other stockholders of the Bank of Pine Bluff to collect an as sessment of 100 per cent.
 The answers are identical, except as to names and the amount of stock held. MT. Graham owned 320 shares of stock in the bank while MT. Mum owned 40 shares. The par value. was $25 a share.
 It is denied that the assets of the bank are insufficient to pay credi- tors in full, and the contention is made that the defendants came in;o possession of the stock prior to the passage of act No. 113 of 1913, which is declared to be unconstitu- tional insofar as it affects liability to assessment, because section 10 of the constitution of the United States says that not state shall pass any bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts" and that section, [ of article ? of the Arkansas constitution contains a
