assessment valuation of property in

increased valuation of real estate
was $1,525,147 and of personal
property $520,16S. The number of
poll taxes assessed in 1914 was
3SS,516, gain of ID, sos over 1913.

1914 was S451, 15S,575, as compar-
ed with SAC, 113,260 in 1913. The

erty in 1914 $13O,161, 402 and in

an increase in horses, cattle and

amos and vehicles assessed in 1914
was considerably less than in 1913.

Sheep also showed a slight decline
in total valuation, although the in
crease in number was about 10 per
cent. Railroad real estate was as
sessed at $S0,OS5,465 in 1914, an

uatiOn of town lots increased from

an increase of 5,067 over the pre-
vious year.

Little Rock, 24.-In using words OF PLAN Engllsf
the suit to test the validity of the Hot Springs racing b

The trial will serve forum at which Will be brought

and will also have his witnesses but IN this case ne is OPP
posed by many of the men who worked Tor MN IN MS
first race for gubernatolia honos Reports that nave
been circulated indicate that one transaction regarding
the racing bill will bring out another until some OF tne
most interesting political scheming OF the past decade
has been aired before the public.
The acceptance of the position OF chief counsel Tor
the proponents Of the Sawyer bill by United States Sen
ator James P Clarke is of the best indications that
the case to be warmly contested and is considered on
all sides as further indication that 1t Will be means
of delvng into political history which is almost too fresh
in the minds of the people of the state to be classified
as history There is further intmation that Senator
Clarke is not the only eminent Arkansas politician that
will be interested in the the side of the residents
of Hot Springs but that Stephen Brundidge may be ask
ed to assist This would clear cut array OF Hays
and anti-Hays in the courts, with the governor lacking
considerable of the strength that put him in office yet
with the addition Of the forces who fought the bill and
succeeded in getting it vetoed
While Governor Hays has been roundly condemned
in some quarters he has been equally praised in others
for his action on the racing BILL and his friends assert
that he will be able to for himself when the fl
aaly comes to trial.

RAILROAD LOST
100000 SUIT
Iron Mountain Must Pay Mrs. sa-

Walnut Ridge, March 19.-The
hardest fought case in circuit court
so far has been the case brought
here from Greenwood, Sebastian
county, in which Mrs. Sadie Miller
brought suit against the Iron Noun
tain railroad for $4,000 for the
killing of her husband, Fred C. Mil
Ter, who was switchman in the
employ of the defendant railroad,
at Van Buren, last April. The evil
dence showed that Miller was on the
sidetrack with the switch engine
weighing car and stepped on the
main line just in time to be struck
by the engine pulling passenger
train No. 104. The jury took the
case at O'Clock Wednesday night,
and at II O'Clock brought in a yer
dict for the widow for $4,000.

as turned over to the enrolling
clerk, Mrs Mai Sparks Briant There
was no clerical error shown in re-
gard to the enrolling of the bill.
Yesterday Gov Hays, with the
advice of Attorney General Moose,
had the enrolled bill amended by
inserting the words ''or mercan-
tile" the attorney general being UNI
der the impression that the error
had been made in enrolling the bin
from the engrossed copy, and that
the insertion would be curative. Up
on learning that there was no err
ror in the enrolling of the bill,
Judge Moose stated frankly that
the status of the bill might be en-
tirely different, and he was not GER
tain that the insertion of the miss
ing words would be legal or binding
or that the act so changed would
be valid
That the measure will not get by

tain.

E|MISTAKE'' MAY INVALIDATE
NEW WACELAW FOR WOMEN
80
Investigation Proves That House Passed One
Document With Words "0r Mercantile" !.
While Senate Omitted Them.

Little Rock, March 24.-Develop-
ments in regard to the minimum
wage act for women and the alleged
irregularity as to it's passage did
not clarity the conditions surround
ing the measure yesterday or abate
the interest in the act; in fact, COM
PARSONS of the engrossed bill that
was finally passed by the senate
and the amended bill that came
from the house to the senate seemed
to show that two distinct bills had
been passed by the two branches,
one bearing the words "or mercan-
tile" and the other being minus
these words.
This raised the question as to
whether the measure had been le
gally passed, as the law requires
that a measure, in order to be val
id, must pass in identical form both
houses of the legislature.
The records filed in the office of
the secretary of state show that the
amended bill, as it came back to the
senate from the house, contained
the words "or mercantile" in the
first paragraph, which relates to the
classes of establishments affected by
the bill. The engrossed bill, which
finally passed the senate and which
is presumed to have been a correct
copy of the amended bill, does not
contain the words cor mercantile -
Therefore, the ground for the con-
tention that both branches did not
pass the same identical bill, and
that, therefore, neither the one nor
the other can be law.

Little Rock, March 20.-Ouster
proceedings to take the Odd Eel
lows widows and orphans home
at Batesville from the present board
of trustees and to place it under
control of a board consisting of six
Odd Fellows and three Rebekahs,
together with the state grand mas
ter and the grand secretary, will be
begun at Batesville Immediately
according to C. w. Highfill of Par
agould, grand master. A meeting
of members of the new board was
held at the Hotel Marion yesterday
afternoon and tentative plans made.
H. j. Nemnick of Imboden, grand
secretary refused to participate in
the meeting.
Charges of misconduct in man
agement of the home have been
made by Mr.. Highfill, and recently
he sent notices to members of the
several lodges of Odd Fellows
throughout the state that he would
reorganize the board, which he
claims should have charge of the
home.
The home now is under control
of a board of trustees composed of
three members-E. e. Morrell, Null
berry; j. B. Baker, Melbourne, and
w ID. Crawford, Batesville. Mr..
Crawford also is superintendent of
the board. Members of the board
of trustees so far have refused to
relinquish control of the home and
have denied emphatically the
charges preferred against them by
Mr.. Highfill
Under laws of the lodge, accord
ing to Mr.. Highfill, the board is
illegally in control of the home, and
he called yesterday afternoons
meeting to reorganize the legal
eating custer proceedings, will Sc
lect new superintendent and ma
iron.
Yesterday afternoons meeting
was open.
The new board which met and
organized yesterday afternoon was
composed of the following: c. M.

agould; H. c. Graham, Hot Springs;
Mrs. Rose Dutlinger, Little Rock;

1.-The old board, unless it recedes
from it's stand and turns manage
ment of the home over TO the new
board, will be defendant in custer
proceedings" said Mr. Highfill yes
terday morning.
Charges against the management
of the home caused a sensation
throughout the state. At expiration
of Mr.. Highfill's predecessor as
grand master of the state, the pres
ent board of trustees was left to
manage the home. Mr.. Highfill, in
presenting part of the lodges con-
stitutiOn, maintains the board of
trustees has illegal possession of
the home, which should be in
charge of a board consisting of the
grand master, grand secretary, six
Odd Fellows and three Rebekahs,
