GOVERNOR WITHOUT POWER TO SPEND
 PEOPLES MONEY
Supreme Court Rule Is That Only Legislature Can
 Appropriate.

Little Rock, July 13.-In the course of the opinion in the school fund case, the supreme court uses the following expression:
 "The power of the general assem- bly, with respect to the public funds raised bv general taxation is supreme, and no state official, from the high est to the lowest, has power to ere ate an obligation of the state, either legal or moral unless there has first been a specific appropriation of funds to meet the obligation. The const- tuition provides, too. that no appropri- ation shall be for a longer period than two years. and thus period Is h&eo over which the lawmakers hold com plete control of the purse-strlngs or inc state" 7EgM
 Inquiry of members of the supreme court failed to elicit further informa- ton than that it is merely the reltera- ton of an established rule. It has been construed by some. however, to mean that the governor has no power | to issue deficiency proclamations. This contention is borne out by a statement made by Justice Hart to the effect that "the governor has no power to issue deficiency procla- nation either to replace an item or part of an item vetoed or for any other article" Since the adjournment of the legls- lature Governor Hays has issued de- ficiency procl9mations for various de- sartments authorizing expenditures aggregating s36,91o.5o. The governor contends that the law permits him to do this in cases of emergency or dire necessity and that the precedent was set by Acting Governor Futreil. When the deficiency is created. it IS entirely with the legislature whether an appropriation will be made to GOV CT it. He considers that he hss acted entirely within his prerogatiyes, and that the ruling of the supreme court cannot applv to his action.

The spark would have had to go clean over and around the building to reach the place in- side the door where the fire started and certainly the spark did not knock the door down.
 Arrest Fellows Fire.
 Wylie Goode was arrested early yesterday, following the fire, on com plaint of D. T.. Purnell, and will be given trial before Police Judge J. R. Stewart this morning, on charge of disturbing the peace.
 Purnell alleges that Goode drove up to his place of business after the fire yesterday, accused him of having started the fire at the furniture fac tory, and appeared as if about to strike him, after using abusive lan- guage.
 .Goode jumped out of his buggy and started in my direction" said Mir. Purnell in the courtroom, "I thought he had gun, so 1 left"
 General denial of the accusation was made by Goode.
 Three young white men, who are accused by Mir. Purnell of shooting craps on the sidewalk opposite his store about o'clock yesterday morn- ing, were arrested on complaint of Mir. Purnell, and will be tried this morning.

General Monro's report had been re-
