CHARGES BROUGHT
 BY CITY COUNCIL ALDERMAN C. C. DENNEY SUBMITS RESOLUTIONS FOR AN INVESTIGATION, WHICH
 ARE ADOPTED.

duties by City Marshal w. II. Cana da were preferred in resolution in- troduced in the city council by Alder man C. c. Denney at meeting late yesterday afternoon. The resolution. which provides that the charges be investigated by the judiciary commit tee, was adopted by vote of 4 to 2. The charges, if sustained, constitute grounds for impeachment, the resolu- tion declares.
 The two votes cast against the res olutlon were by Alderman c. J.. Greene and Wellington Robbins, the only members of the judiciary com mitte present. They explained their votes by stating that they did not re- gard it as duty of the judiciary committee to make such an investiea- ton. Alderman A. J. Meadors, the third member of the judiciary com mlttee, was not present at the meet ing. Those voting for the resolution were Mayor J. Frank Jones, and AL dermen c. c. Denney, William J. Drummer and J. R. Donnell. The resolution adopted is as follows:
 Whereas, it is constantly rumored that the marshal of Conway has per sistently neglected to collect all street tax in the city and has neglected to file information against those who re- fused to pay; and
 Whereas, it is constantly reported that he has permitted drunkenness, cursing and speeding without at tempting to stop same; and
 Whereas, it is consistently rumor- ed that he has neglected to collect fines imposed by the mayor and has permitted such parties to leave the city for parts unknown without bond for return;
 "All of this being in violation of the ordinance of the city of Conway and constituting grounds for impeach- ment,
 "Therefore, be it resolved, That the Judiciary committee be instructed and is hereby instructed to investi- gate said charges and report to this council a proper course of proceed ure."
 Marshal Canada was present when the resolution was read and adopted, but made no comment upon the charges. A meeting of the judiciary committee to make the investigation has not yet been called by the chair man, Alderman Greene.
 In order to permit the members of the council to attend the revival ser vices at the Baptist church, the coun- cil met at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, instead of at night. Ordinances ere ating street improvement districts No. 4 and No. were unanimously passed. The No. ? district, which will provide for paving North Front street from the north terminus of district No. 1 to Hendrix College, had already been formed, but slight changes were mace in the territory included and new ordinance was passed. District No. 4 was petitioned for at preced- ing meeting and its boundaries have already been described in this paper. It will provide for paving certain portions of the west side of the pub lie square. West Main street, Locust avenue, College avenue and Center street.
 The council seemed to take new lease on the affairs of the city when a resolution was adopted, insisting upon a more strict observance of the ordinances now in force, and that officers of the city give more atten- tion to the violations of some of the recent ordinances passed by the city council. Among the number being the speeding ordinance, stock law, sidewalks and the sanitary laws.
 "A number of complaints have been made," Mayor Jones said today, about the fast and reckless driving of automobiles and the officers have been directed and the citizens are re- quested to take notice of and report any driver who is disposed to violate this ordinance. Some drivers are un- der the impression that the paved streets were built for speedway and pedestrians are trespassing by using the street crossings. Remember, the supreme court has decided that the pedestrian has the right of way at crossings. A large amount of side walk ordered by the last city council
