OFFICIALS CONFIRMED
ALL SAVE G0FFMAN

Monday evening alter one of the
warmest sessions Of the state senate
since the session begun in January,
James Surridge Of Walnut Ridge,
was confirmed by that body TO the
SIX year term on the State Charities
board. At the same time the State
Senate refused TO confirm the ap.
pointment to the board of oharita.
BILE institutions of l.. l.. Coifman.
who resigned as state autilor last
Wednesday TO accept the new place.
A former deputy preferred charges
a. ainst Mr.. Coffman before the
Senate.
Charges were filed against James
SurFidge of Walnut Ridge before
the Senate IN executive session this
afternoon, and after threshing them
out for two hours he was confirmed.
Gov. Hays will Tuesday morning
be advised of the confirmation of all
his appolutees, as well as those Of
Acting Gov. Futrell, with the ex.
ception Of LII. Coffman, whom the
Senate refuses TO confirm. Surridge
was nominated for the sIx-year term
as a member of the board Of con.
troll Of the state charitable instItu-
tious and Coffman for the two-year
term.
The Senate was loath to 60 into
the executive session, but Senator
Edmondson insisted that he had
something of Interest that should
go before the body, so alters eyeral
votes had been taken, the curiosity
OF the members either became too
great for resistance or the oratory
Of those who desired the executive
session so convincing that the spec
tators and newspaper men were eI-
cluded and the work begun. 1t is
surmlssed that the charges against
Snrridge were that he had violated
the liquor laws IN Lawrence county
operating there a "blfnd tiger" but
this was many years ago, according
to court records of the county. IL
Is rumored that the vote on Surridge
confirmation was very close.
According to report, none Of the
contests of Saturday were reopened
In spite of rumors that they would
be. When the senators emerged, a
motion by Senator Edmondson to
withhold the report to the governor
until Tuesday afternoon at o'clock
had been supplanted with instruc-
tions to Secretary Terral to report
to Gov. Hays the result of all exc.
cutive sessions early Tuesday morn
ing, in order that he may make an
other appointment for the short
term member of the board of con-
troll and the Senate still have time
to confirm or reject.
Former State Auditor Colfman,
who resigned to accept the appoint
ment to which the Senate has de-
cllned confirmation, was outside tn e
Senate chamber during the afternoon
session and was confident that his
case would not only be reopened
and he be permitted to testify, but
that he would be confirmed. He
was not called, however, nor was
his case gone into, even though he
had supplied the Senate literally
with printed documents setting
forth his side of the case.
