FOREGO PLEASURES FOR
 BELGIAN RELIEF FUND
NORMAL STUDENTS MAKE SACRIFICE TO CONTRIBUTE
 TO AID OF SUFFERERS

A donation which involved all the elements of real charity and self-de- nial was represented by check for $81.5O forwarded yesterday by stu dents and faculty of the Arkansas State Normal School to Mrs.~John I. Moore of Helena, president of the Ar kansas Federation of Women's Clubs and state representative of the Gen. eral Federation of Women's Clubs who is receiving contributions for the relief of the Belgian war-sufferers.
 It has been the custom of the four literary societies of the Normal, the Crestomath, Nikatima, Wingo and Clary societies each in turn to enter tain the other during the session and at each entertainment light refresh ments are served. Upon their own initiative the societies met yesterday and decided to forego the expense of refreshments at these entertainments during the session and to donate the amount thus saved to the Belgian re- lief fund. To the students donation were added contributions by the indi- vidual members of the faculty and a total of $8l5O, one of the largest single offerings yet announced in the state, was forwarded last night to Mrs. Moore.

DEBATE CONVENT
 INSPECTION BILL LIQUOR TRAFFIC DOOMED
ASSEMBLY ADOPTS AMEND MENT TO PERMIT TAX
 FOR ROAD BONDS.

! Little Rock, January 27.-The con vent inspection measure which was before the legislature in 1913 as tht Posey bill, made it's appearance in the house Tuesday afternoon over the sig natures of Messrs. Steed, Holland Posey, Mosley, Halbert, Young, Sheet and Copeland of Izard. It provide. for the inspection by the sheriff ol grand jury of all public or private hospitals, reformatory homes, houses of detention, convents, asylums, sec tartan seminaries, schools, or institu tions, such inspections may be made unannounced or upon the initiative ot 20 persons and the investigators may interrogate the inmates whether oi not they are the subjects of volun. tary confinement.
 The bill drew the fire of contro. versy with which it has always beer met. Representative Wilson moved when first reading was finished that | it be definitely postponed. It was charged by MT. Rogers of Logan that the measure is a covert attack upon the Catholic church, although no sect or denomination is named in the bill There is not Catholic member of the house. Mr. Robertson favored turn ing on the light and said he believed thorough investigation would find the Catholic church unsullied in rela- tion to its schools and institutions. It would reach the institutions of all fraternal or religious organizations.
 Speaker Sawyer was among those who opposed the bill, and Griffin of Pulaski spoke against it. At 4:3O o'clock the house adjourned with MT. Griffin on the floor.
 Various bills are pending in both the house and senate designed to re- strict the liquor traffic. It is freely predicted that both bodies will pass the White bill providing for statutory statewide prohibition. Polls taken of the two houses are said to show IS in the senate and 70 in the house in fa- vor of statewide prohibition. There are also several pending measures for the punishment of "blind-tigers."
 Statutory prohibition for St. Fran cis county became an established fact when the house Tuesday afternoon passed a senate bill by Slaughter for bidding the sale or manufacture of intoxicating liquors in that county. It was passed by vote of 66 to 2. The negative votes were cast by Buchanan and Rogers of Logan. Representative Sulcer explained that there had been no saloons in the county for four years. By the negro vote the county at the last election voted wet"

people of the general assembly is that drawn by Senators Futrell and Ash ley, adopted by the house Tuesday afternoon. An amendment has been initiated and the petition filed with the secretary of state raising the max imum school levy from 2 to 12 mills, therefore, only one more of the sev- eral resolutions pending can be adopted. The road tax amendment provides that the county courts shall have the power, when authorized by vote of the qualified electors of a county general or special election, to levy an annual tax of three mills on the dollar on all taxable propery; also to issue bonds for period not exceeding 30 years, pledging the reve- nues for that time. All sums so bor- rowed shall be used exclusively in making and repairing the public roads and bridges in the county. The tax and the bond issue shall not both be levied at the same time.
 The senate Tuesday afternoon had it's first test on the repeal of state aid to high schools. The bill was report ed from the house and read once Ob- jection was made to a second reading, and indicated that the senate does not favor the repeal of the bill

 COUNCIL TAKES ACTION
RESOLUTION RESENTS ALEC. ED INTERFERENCE BY
 TOWNSHIP OFFICERS.

The report by Mayor J. Frank Jones of instances of alleged interfer- ence with cases in the municipal court by township officers and Deputy Pros ecuting Attorney P. H. Prince featur- ed last nights session of the Conway city council. Although the mayor stated there had been other instances, a case which occurred Monday night was cited. Mayor Jones reported that eight persons were arrested by Night Marshal John Durham, who took for feits from some and ordered all to appear in the mayors court Tuesday morning, and that Deputy Prosecut- ing Attorney Prince, hearing of the arrests, came to town at midnight and filed information against the parties arrested with Justice of the Peace G. M Easterwood, where two of thoes arrested were convicted and fined. The mayors contention was that the prisoners were in custody of the city and should not have been tried in the township court. Follow ing the statement, the council adopt ed the resolution printed below:
 Whereas, the present administra- tion is using it's best efforts to pre- serve the peace and welfare of the city, by insisting upon strict en- forcement of it's ordinances;
 Therefore, be it resolved, that we hereby resent the action of those off cials who are inclined to infringe up- on the city's right, and the mayor is hereby requested to appeal to the prosecuting attorney of this district asking for more strict observance of the city's rights governing matters coming under it's jurisdiction.'
 The council also took cognizance of a petition in circulation asking for a special act to permit the council to elect the city marshal, adopting the following resolution
 Whereas, there have come to us petitions signed by a number of rep resentative citizens of our city, ask ing that we urge our representative in legislature to secure for us local law, whereby the city marshal shall be elected by the council instead of the people direct;
 Therefore, be it resolved, that we do hereby join in said petition, and request our representative to intro dace such a bill in the house at the present session."
 An ordinance changing the time of paying the assessments in Street 1m- provement District No. 3, which in- cludes West Oak, Caldwell and a DOT tion of Center street, from February 1 to November l, was passed under suspension of the rules.
 A petition asking that meat mar kets and fresh meat peddlers be taxed S1OO per year, with an additional tax of 50 cents per day on peddlers, was referred to the judiciary committee.
 Accounts amounting to $97.5O were allowed by the council.

MAYFLOWFR MAN KILLED IN ARCfNTA WAS STRUCK BY AUTO 5. A. COCHRAN RUNS DOWN
 BLIND FAULKNER
 FARMER.

Little Rock, Jan. 27.-Struck by an automobile driven by S. A. Cochran, president of the Cochran Foster Lum- Der Company, G. P. Handley, 61, of Mayfiower, Faulkner county, died at 9:45 o'clock last night at the City hospital. The accident occurred at 6 o'clock last night at Fourth and Main streets, Argenta.
 Il regret the accident more than I can tell. It was unavoidable" said MT. Cochran.
 According to Mir. Cochran's ac- count, as he neared the corner of Fourth and Main streets, running about 10 miles an hour, coming west on Fourth street, from the offices of the Cochran-Foster Lumber Company 200 East Fourth street, Argenta, Mir. Handley, who was partially blind, with his two sons, aged 12 and 16, crossed Fourth street, going south. He had nearly reached the south side of the street, when he apparently be- came panic-stricken, and turned back directly in front of the machine.
 The machine struck him and threw him to the pavement, breaking five ribs on the right side and three on the left, and injuring his head. MT. Cochran stopped the machine within 15 feet, he says, but was unable to avert the accident. An ambulance was called and MT. Hadley was taken to the City hospital. He remained conscious until a few minutes before his death.

4 WANT DIyORCES:: NONE ASK MARRIAGE LICENSES
CHANCERY CLERK DOES THRIV ING BUSINESS; COUNTY
 CLERK IDLE.

Four suits for divorce filed in the office of the chancery clerk without a single application for marriage li- cense in the office of the county clerk was yesterdays unusual record at the Faulkner county courthouse. Cupid was evidently taking lay-off, and while the clerk of the chancery court was kept busy docketing suits brought by those who claimed to have plucked lemons in the garden of love, the county clerk was vainly awaiting the arrival of some one willing to take a voyage on the uncertain matrimonial sea.
 The divorce suits were filed as fol- lows:
 Beulah Cooper against Frank Coop Ter; married September 9, 1913; de- sertion since January 4, 1914, alleged.
 Myrtle Naylor vs. A. c. Naylor; married October 30, 1912; cruel treat ment and non-support alleged; plain tia asks custody of two children, AL fred, ? years old, and Adolph, 6 months old.
 Pearl Jackson vs. J. B. Jackson, married August IT, 1918; abuse and desertion since January 1, 1914, al- legged.
