The New York Symphony Orchestra, assisted by Miss Grace Kerns, soprano; Miss Merle Alcock, alto; Mir. John Campbell, tenor; and Mir. Milo Picco, bass; are these stel- lar attractions.
 The New York Symphony Orchestra with Walter Damrosch as conductor, has no rival anywhere. Damrosch is recognized as the worlds greatest.
 The Little Rock Festival Chorus, with 150 voices, will be assisted by the junior chorus of 300 voices on the first night. The musical corterie choruses of Pine Bluff, Stuttgart and other cities will also appear on this night. Miss Sarah Yancey Cline of Little Rock will act as director. On H. { .l.. rus will render Hande's Judas Mac cabeus." The orchestra will assist in this, as we'll as the soloists.

VETO CAUSES INCONVEN-
 IENCE TO BAR OF STATE

Little Rock, April 1.-In vetoing the item of $27,500 for the printing of the Supreme Court reports the governor has caused great inconvenience to the bar of the state. For some time five and half volumes year have been printed in an effort to catch up with the court proceedings. Unless the printer is willing to do the work and risk deficiency appropriation in 1917 no reports can be printed for the next two years. The only way the lawyers can get the opinions otherwise is in the Arkansas Court Reporter month ly pamphlet issued privately, and the Southwestern Reporter, which costs $6 volume, and prints Arkansas re- ports with those of other States.

uFN GAME LAW WILL
 PROVE UNPOPULAR
Freedom of Hunter and pes"Is es"Issr,eu-Commission to Start ''s on Campaign of Education to demonstrate Necessity

N. act ever passed by the Arkan- " Iooislature will be so unpopular s'' fow wears as the new game law, ". V, # will require diplomatic handling aDu A.. commission to survive the next " '..on The commission realizes the ,ssl;up ,.s the people will display when ss .ssr nrovisions of the act are enforced, ay t certainly does destroy all free lom of the hunter and fisherman who s.vo @ considered the entire state their snnting ground in the past.
 N has always been the same, but ,.. commission will start on cam ,.icn of education to demonstrate to be people that their actions are ab- ,.lutelv necessary to protect the game in order that future generations may ,row the plasures of quail shooting and game fishing.
 The complaint so far has come from ,be market fishermen and out of state ,Oortsmen who have long pillaged upon the state. There classes will rive the commission little trouble, for they can be easily controlled, but 1t f the farmer and the small town hunt or that will be hard to convince that he must leave something for his grand children.
 Fishermen who supply the market from the Arkansas river, spawning place for those classic aquatic animals the buffalo, drum and grinnel fish, aye raising quite an uproar over the cur ailment of their rights. The act, so far as they are concerned, may well be termed one for "the protection of public peace and health" of the com munity.

MINIMUM WAGE LAW
 IS EFFECTIVE TODAY
Act Will Be Enforced Despite the Mix Up Concerning Its Enactment. Firms to Begin to Comply
 With Law Today.

Arkansas minimum wage law for women becomes effective today. De- spite a recent muddle in which it was found the bills that passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, and the one Governor Hays signed, varied it is blieved that through the State Bureau of Labor and Statistics and the commission to be appointed, the act can be enforced.
 Four hundred women and girls in Little Rock, perhaps 2,OOO or more through the state, are affected.
 Words are Juggled.
 In the enrolling of the bill the words Cor mercantile" were left out. How ever, they were written in after the bill was approved. This was done at the instruction of Governor Hays who had been advised by the attorney general that the act would be legal. Also the number four applying to the limit of persons employed to make the employer responsible under the law was changed to "three." Whether mercantile establishments will attack the act is not known.
 That mercantile establishments are within the jurisdiction of the law is the opinion of J. C. Clary, state labor commissioner, who has said that even should the writing be held illegal. the mercantile establishment could be in- cluded by the commission, which the law provides with power to name en- ployers subject to the law.
 None of the laundries of Little Rock and Argenta, it is said, will take steps to test the law. The Southwestern Telegraph and Telephone Company denied several days ago, statement that it would bring suit to test the law. Officials of some of the largest mercantile establishments in Little Rock said they were not considering opening litigation.
 The law provides that no female in any of the specified establishments shall be employed more than nine hour in any one day or more than six days or 54 hours in any one week. The minimum wage is $1 per day for in experienced workers and SIPS per day for experienced workers. An expert need worker is one who has served two months. All who employ three or more girls or women in the same building at the same time at the same task are subject to the law.
 Mir. Clary Out of City. Commissioner Clary was out of the city yesterday but Deputy Martin said that the bureau had received informa- tion from practically all Little Rock firms affected by the law that they would begin to comply with it's provi- sidons today. Mr. Clary will return to Little Rock tonight and will at once take steps to enforce the law ac- cording to MT. Martin.-Arkansas Gazette

CHARITIES BOARD
 REPORT DELAYED UNTIL CLOSE OF SESSION BILL TO ABOLISH HIGHWAY COMMISSION DEFEATED
 22 TO 6.
Special to the Log Cabin Democrat.

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat
 Little Rock, March 3.-The special committee of the legislature appoint ed to investigate the state charities board muddle announced today that 1t would be unable to make it's report until after the close of the legislative session. The investigation, the com mlttee reported, is still under way.
 The senate. this morning decisively defeated the Wagner bill to abolish the state highway commission, the vote being 22 to 6.
 Hopelessly in the minority, a mere handful of senators Tuesday after noon made remarkable fight against the Posey-Steed convent inspection bill, but they were assaulting an inn pregnable position, and in spite of their strenuous efforts the bill was passed, 22 to S.
 This bill, aimed directly at the Cath olic institutions of the sttae, but in order to reach them putting all pri- vate hospitals and similar institutions under its provisions, was met with a motion from Senator Jones of Pulaski, when 1t was called, to place back on the second reading for the purpose of exempting Pulaski county by amendment His proposition was met with an avalanche of opposition in the bill, and followed it with motion for previous questions, thus limiting the debate to thirty minutes a side in closing.
 The senate read most of the house bills reported there, making many of them special orders, and as the cal endar was nearly clean, decided not to have night session, as had pre- viously been ordered. The Robertson bill to repeal sections of the child labor act was made a special order for Friday afternoon. The Reigler bill for the turning over of the old sttae house and other state property to the Arkansas medical society for the erection of David O. Dodd hos pital to be operated by the state, was also made special order for Friday afternoon, after being read twice.
 The amendment placed on the Flu trell game bill in the house were con- cured in and the roll caled upon the bill. As soon as signed by the govern or it becomes law.
 The senate then adjourned in order that many members might appear be- fore the lobby investigation commit tee, having been summoned during the day. :
