WANT GOVERNOR
 AS 4 WITNESS
TESTIMONY OF EXECUTIVE IS WANTED BY OLD CHARITIES
 BOARD, SAYS ATTORNEY.
Little Rock

Little Rock
 Gov. George w. Hays is the next witness desired by the attorneys for the Old Charities Board in the investi- gation by a legislative committee Of the State Hospial for Nervous Dis eases. However, the governor cannot be compelled to appear and 1t is not known whether he will testify volun- tarily.
 Three sessions of the Investigating committee have been held. E. c. Par sons, member of the old Charities Board, was the only witness examined at Fridays hearing. J. F. Henderson of Fort Smith, former steward at the State Hospital, and J. P. Flight, who recently resigned as steward, were on the stand. At the close of the session the hearing was adjourned until next Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock.
 Senator J. o. A. Bush, chairman Of the Investigating committee, sug- gested that R. w. Hart, former secre- tary of the Charities Board, be called. X. o. Pindall, one of the attorneys, ob- jected, saying that they did not want to present MT. Hart until Governor Hays had testified.
 Have you asked him to come?' asked Senator Bush.
 We asked for a subpoena" was the reply.
 But have you endeavored to ascer- tain if he will come?" said Senator Bush. The subpoena has been issued, but you know even the Supreme Court cannot compel Governor Hays to ap- pear before them if he does not wish" :"
 We haven't asked him personally - replied w. H. Martin, another of the attorneys. Our relations with Gov ernor Hays at this time are rather strained and we have no ambassador whom We can send to see him"
 J. E. Henderson, the first witness testified that he was steward at the State Hospital from 1909 to 1913. An swering questions by attorneys for the old board, who offered him as a wit ness, he said the food during the ad- ninistration of Dr. H. c. Stinson, pr. J. L. Greene's predecessor, was well prepared and furnished in sufficient quantities. He was asked about the discharge of an employe named Cole man and Dr. Greene's manner when dismissing him. He said Dr Greene called Coleman "a miserable cur" and told him to get of the ground in 20 minutes. He said he thought that Dr. Greene was armed. Dr. Greene in

Senator J. L. Carter of Eudora, a member of the Investigating commit tee, then read from the acts of 1909 a law in exact accordance with Dr. Greene's testimony.
 I'm glad l didn't bet" was Mir Pindall's only reply.
 E. C. Parsons, member of the de- 1 posed Charities Board was the only witnessed examined during the ses- sion.
 MT. Parsons testimony was chiefly in refutation of charges made against the board by pr. Greene at the time of his resignation and in his testimo- ny before the committee.
 The new power plant, for which s75,- coo was appropriated by the 1913 legis- lature, has cost the state S112,000, ac- cording to MT Parsons. This, he said, is taking into consideration the pur- chase of 20 mules used in the construc- tion work, and their subsequent sale. The cost of raw material, he said, was S70,000
 MT. Parsons said he understood that only the preliminary plans were pre- sented to the legislature when the ap- propriation was made. He said the plans used in the construction of the plant were revised by H. F. Smith, en- gineer in charge of the work, and by | Dr. Greene. Dr. Greene disclaimed all but small part in making these plans.
 At the conclusion Of MT. Parsons testimony Pf Greene asked that he be excused from further attendance at the hearing, saying that he did not feel called upon to fight the governors battle for him. Dr. Greene said he only sought to vindicate himself Of charges made against him.
 x. o. Pindall, attorney for the old board members, said that should the course pursued by Dr. Greene con- tinue little longer there would be no occasion to continue the hearing. He said the case is rapidly shaping itself into matter of personal differences between Dr. Greene and the board. and that practically all charges excepting that of incompetency had been with drawn by both sides
 Dr. Greene admitted that he did not charge the members Of the old board with anything but lack of knowledge of their duties and failure to do their Guty expeditiously. He said that the board had started out to get him dis charged and that when he resigned he decided to reverse the tables and get them discharged
 And I did," he said.
 NO, you didn't retorted MT. Parsons, referring to the contention of i the old board members that the gov ernor had no right to discharge it's members.
 Well, I'll modify it, then" said pr. Greene. "I accomplished your at. tempted discharge"

SEPARATED LAMBS AND GOATS
Governor Knew What He Was Doing When He Told Anecdote of
 Ancient Vintage.

The governor of southern state came to his office with a friend one morning to find number of men wait ing in the anteroom. Pausing an in- stant, he told a story that was de- cided chestnut" When he got inside the private office the friend said: That was a horribly old one you sprung on those fellows"
 T know it, chuckled the governor. but did you notice that one that laughed?"
 Well, l noticed that three or four did"
 Those said the governor, "are the fellows who won't get in to see me- They are the ones who have favors to ask. k.'-Rehoboth Sunday Herald

MAGNOLIA SCHOOL
 ID BE CONTINUED
SALARIES WILL BE PAID OUT OF MAINTENANCE FUND, SAYS
 DIRECTOR ROGERS.
HONOR STATE VOUCHERS
Governor May Issue Proclamation Covering Salaries For the
 Teachers.
Little Rock

At least one of the four district az. ricultural schools will not close as q result Of Governor Hays veto of the salary items for the institutions. J. l.. Rogers, a member Of the Board of Directors of the Magnolia school, that he was sure the school at that place would continue
 "I have talked with Auditor Dick inson,' MT. Rogers said. and he has assured me that he will honor salary vouchers drawn against the general ex- pense fund of the school The goyer nor also assured me that this meets with his approval and I feel that there will be no question about our school opening again next year.
 "Of course the school will be some what handicapped in it's operation, but l believe that by strict economy and possibly a reduction in the teaching force we can maintain the institution, although on a smaller scale than here tofore. It is the opinion of the board, l believe, that it will be much better to operate the school in this way than to close it down completely To do so will maintain the interest in the schools already created and will be a means of protecting the states prop erty better than by having the build ings and grounds deserted for pc riod of time"
 Officials connected with other schools have not indicated that they Will change from the position taken at the meeting of the boards. It is be- heyed that they may seek to have Governor Hays issue a proclamation covering the salaries for teachers.

 cross-examination brought out the in formation that Coleman had threat ened to attack him. Dr. Greene ad- nitted that he put a pistol in his pocket when he went to discharge the man.
 MT. Henderson testified that Dr. Greene had increased the amount of beef when he took charge and reduced the amount of bacon and other meats On cross-eXamination he said the amount of beef was increased with the increase of patients, from 1,500 pounds to 10000 pounds monthly. He said no complaints were made at the hospital about the amount of food and that the only objection was to hash for breakfast
 On cross-examination 1t was shown the change was made from bacon to a mixture of beef and potatoes because lack of cook stove space prevented ba- con being properly cooked.
 J. P. flight testified that it costs more to serve bacon than beef and for that reason bacon was not served at all times.
 Mir. Henderson said that he resigned as steward because Dr. Greene made it unpleasant for him. He cited some instances where Dr. Greene had re- ported to the board something which he had done or failed to do.
 If naValnnp6 oiroo 4i(,y, that the direct cause of his resigna- ton was the filing of information by Mr. Henderson, with the board, to the effect that one of the physicians had been guilty of immoral conduct at the institution. The physician still is employed at the institution, the wit hess said.
 MT. flight was placed on the stand to testify in regard to a deficiency in the current expense fund which amounted to about s55,00O when the Legislature met in 1913. He testified that because of a mistake in calcula- tion by him, the board recommended and the legislature passed a bill ap- propriating s65,000 to cover this def- ciency. It was brought out that Dr.. Greene was instrumental in having this bill vetoed and another for an ap- propriation of so5,00O introduced and passed
 During Dr. Greene's cross~examina- tion he testified that he was regis. tered as physician and licensed un- der reciprocity law which allowed a registered physician from another state present his credentials and be registered in Arkansas. Preceding the opening of the session a discussion between Dr. Greene and X. o. Pindall took place in which MT. Pindall said he did not believe there is a recipro- city provision in the Arkansas medical laws
 Dr. Greene said that he had never seen it, but that he would wager S20O to S1 that there was such law, MT. Pindall refused to wager, but contin- lIed to assert that there was no such law in Arkansas, saying that he had looked thoroughly for it since the day before.

Announcement was made that peti- uediately for signatures to initiate law placing the State University ana the four agricultural schools on the millage basis. It will require about 12,Q00 signatures to initiate the meas ure, which will be submitted to the voters of the state at the election to be held in November, 1916. It Is claim ed by friends of the university that a tax levy of one mill will provide the institution with sufficient funds to run for the biennial period of two years. 1t IS very likely that the four agricul- tural schools will ask for a similar levy
 For the past 20 years or more off cers of the University of Arkansas were compelled to remain in Little Rock during the greater part of the legislative session, looking after neces- sary appropriations for the institution, and in a number of instances the ap- tropriations did not come up to the re- ouirements or were considerably less than the amount asked for by the 6oard of trustees of the university.
 In the event the tax levy system is adopted it will not be necessary to ap- peal to the Legislature for the appro- priations, as the money for the support Of the institutions would come from fund already created for that pur- pose, just as is now done with the common school and Confederate pen sion funds. John C. Futrell, who was in Little Rock, stated that the board of trustees of the University Of Arkansas are unanimous in the opin- ion that the millage basis will place the university out of politics entirely and place it on sound financial basis

Governor Hays will take a hand in the fight that has been started by Rep resentative Jo Johnson of Sebastian County to restrain the state auditor and the state treasurer from issuing further warrants to the members Of the legislative investigation commit tees. However, Governor Hays will be very much on the other side of the fence from MT. Johnson.
 The governor believes the investiga tions should be carried on at all haz- ards, and, in view of the suit filed by MT. Johrson, Governor Hays has ad- dressed a letter to the members of the two Investigating committees in which he says that the political atmosphere of the past few months has been hay with charges and countercharges Of m1smanagement and irregularities Of different kinds" and that the papers have been full Of criticisms of different parties.

The warrants issued totaled s1,- 545.70. The legislature appropriated $500 to pay the per diem and mileage of the members of the State Chari- ties Board. This fund was insuffi- oient to pay all the claims. and the remainder was allowed out of the de- felt current expense fund of the state hospital amounting to S110,000, ap- propriated by the Legislature to pay deficiencies for the months of Febru- ary and March. 1915, because the cur rent expense fund of the institution was exhausted February 1. The new Board of Control agreed to this and issued certificates for the warrants on the fund as a result of the conference.
