JACOWAy 10 PUSH
 CONWAY BUILDING WANTS DATA ON CITY
CONGRESSMAN PROMISES TO WORK FOR POSTOFFICE
 BUILDING HERE.

A letter received today from Con gressman H. NJ. Jacoway, addressed to Jo Frauenthal, president of the Board of Trade, states that it seems now that congress will adjourn within the course of the next two or three weeks, and "this being so, you can se- cure all the data you have relative to the needs of the town for a post office building and sometime when I am in Conway will get the same"
 MT. Jacoway also says, "As a gen. eral rule, it takes some time to get q public building for q town, but a start must be made and the quicker it is launched the quicker it will be secur- ed. l will leave nothing undone to se- cure the building at the quickest pos sible moment
 MT. Frauenthal informed the Log Cabin Democrat that steps have al- ready been taken to obtain the neces- sary data. Letters have been address ed to the heads of local educational institutions requesting facts as to number of students and other vital statistics. The secretary of the Board ot Trade IS now engaged in securing information regarding the number of business houses here and the volume of business done by them. The bank clearings, which are an index of the city s business progress, will be shown; statistics with reference to our churches will be obtained. and the mayor and city council will be request ed to report valuable information as to the city's progress, as to sidewalks. paved streets, sewerage, waterworks. population, etc. The postmaster will De requested to furnish information as to rural routes and business han dled by the local office.
 When all the data is received by the Board of Trade it will be compiled. printed and bound in handsome manner and turned over to the con- gressman.
 With intelligent action here and with the zeal of the congressman di- rected to that end, it is believed a liberal appropriation will be made by congress. When that has been at tained it is proposed to cooperate with the department as to plans in such way that a federal building will be had in Conway much sooner than is usual in such cases The pro- gross made and efforts of Mr. Jaco- way will be followed with much in terest.

RAGING BILL. IS
 BEFORE SENATE HOLD NIGHT SESSIONS
SENATE WILL MEET AT NIGHT TUESDAY AND FRIDAY
 EACH WEEK.

Little Rock, Feb. 24.-The greater portion of the Tuesday afternoon ses- sion of the senate was consumed, like the morning session, in clearing a path to the Sawyer Hot Springs fair commission bill, in order that it may be brought from the calendar, where it rests ready for third reading when way can be discovered to suspend the rules and reach it, or it can be brought up on regular order.
 House bill 271, by Mr. Condray, be- came the goat for the adherents of the Sawyer bill, a motion being offer ed by Senator Edmondson, when it was read a third time, to defer furth- CT action upon it until II o'clock Tues day night. Senator Toler moved to table this motion, losing on tie vote 15-l5. Senator Moore then amended the Edmondson motion to postpone the bill until Friday morning at II o'clock and this was adopted.
 Further consideration on the Rob- ertson bill to repeal the child labor act, so far as it concerned certain DOT tions of the state, was deferred on motion of Senator Calvert until Tues day morning.
 A resolution by Senator Ashley, calling for night sessions on Tuesdays and Fridays to consider house busi- ness, was amended to read local house bills and for the introduction of local senate bills,' and for the first time in history the senate began working at night
 The senate then accepted an invita- tion from the colored students of the branch Normal of Pine Bluff, to a chicken dinner in the basement, and adjourned.

GIBBONS GETS ONE YEAR IN PRISON IN
 SPITE 0F FRIENDS

Tom Gibbons, dragged down in the swirl of crime set in motion by Har- vey Melosh, adiudged by a jury of his peers to be guilty of the felony Iof receiving stolen goods, yesterday stood before Judge Stanford to re- ceive sentence of from one to two years in the penitentiary.
 To the last minute Gibbons was the smiling. debonair well dressed young man, so much admired and looked up to by the score or more of young men in hIs set. His nerve never left him. He sat with smile on his face throughout the argument of his attorney, Benton Dick for q new trial
 When the motion was refused, Gib- bons showed no sign that the last barrier between himself and the pri son at Florence had been let down, and that the way to confinement be- hind the great gray walls was open and clear ahead of him.
 The judge called him forward. ask ed him if he had anything to say why sentence should not be passed. Gibbons hung his head for a minute as if contemplating what to say, and then shook his head in the negative. The judge then called on MT. Dick to say few words in behalf of the prisoner.
 Mir. Dick made a strong and i'm .passioned plea for a suspended sent ence for Gibbons. He stated that Gibbons days were numbered on this earth. and that 1t seemed inhunan to shut the young man up for the few remaining months he had left coming to him. The judge then re piled saving he had made inquiries as Q the accommodation for sick people at the prison and that they were entirely adequate
 Gibbons friends did not desert him up to the last minute At the time of passing sentence, a number of the young men were present in the court room, and during the course of the judges remarks, it developed that a number of these friends had made strong pleas in his behalf But after sentence had been passed. and all hope that Gibbons might be liberated had gone glimmering, il was very noticeable that none of them came IoIWdTu ID say q laSI Wofd 1r SO De fore he was taken downstairs to be locked up.
 Upon reaching the jail, he calmly took a seat in the sherifrs office joked with the deputies as Co the of particularly good looking silk shirt he was wearing. and asked if they wore stripes at Florence. He was calm till the last moment-then he made the remark that he would just as leave have received 10 years as one It has not yet been announced when he will be taken to Florence to start serving his time

APPROPRIATION CASE
 IS NOT YET PREPARED
Application May Not Be Made Until Tomorrow-State Road Work
 Seriously Hampered

The work of preparing the appli- cation for writ of mandamus against State Auditor CalIaghan to compel the payment of claims under the new appropriation bill was not completed yesterday and may not be finished today.
 Attorney George J. Stoneman, who is preparing the applications, stated yesterday that the task of copy ing the claims had been about half completed and that the case might not reach the superior court before Wednesday,
 Unless there is an early decision in the case all state road work save that which is being done by convict labor will shortly be at a standstiIl. The Htate has a large number of men at work in various sections. and all these will have to be dropped until there gre sufficient funds available to carry on the work. In Coconino county the payroll amounts to ap- prOXimately $6000 per month, but as the payment of all claims has been suspended, it is not considered likely that the work can be continued much longer. Work on the north approach to the state highway bridge at Flor cnce, which was washed out repeat edly last winter was postponed until July l. when funds would be available for the work, but owing to the muddle over the appropriations. this will also Le suspended until the money is forthcoming.
