HENDRIX PROFESSOR
H0N0RED AT NASHVILLE

Prof. G. A. Simmons, head of the
Department of Latin and. Greek in
Hendrix College, and Prof. w. D.
Reynolds, assistant in Latin, have re-
turned from Nashville, Tenn, where
they had been attending the Classical
Association of the middle west and
south. This is the largest classical
association in the world, having over
1000 members.
The meetings were held partly at
Vanderbilt University and partly at
Peabody College. The program was a
very full and interesting one, by the
leading classicists in the middle west
and south, including Prof. Shorey of
University of Chicago, Prof. Scott of
Northwestern, Prof. Clark of Yale,
Chancellor Kirkland of Vanderbilt,
and Prof. Cole of University of Col
orado.
Prof. Simmons was twice honored
by the association, in being appointed
on the auditing committee, and in be
ing elected to the vice presidency of
the association for the state of Ar
kansas.
The next meeting of the associa-
ton will be held in the University of

RAP1DITY WITH WHICH THE
FLY BREEDS.

Suppose that out of the 100 eggs
that the fly lays only 20 live and re-
produce and that the process is re-
peated only every 10 days. Then sup
pose all those live until the end of the
season. Then in one season, or from
the first of April to the first of Dc
tober one fly would have defendants
to the number of about 250, ,000,-
$1,000 900, 100000, in other words
250 seXtillions. If you were able tc
crowd 80 flies upon the square inch OF
the earth it would still take five
worlds the size Of our to accommodate
this number! If you don't believe il
figure it out yourself.
Suppose we place these same flies,
the defendants of single fly for one
season, side by side in line, allow
ing ten to the inch, they would reach
around the world 100000 200
times. They would reach to the moon
1,000,0 100000 times. They would
reach to the sun and back $50 100000
times.
This suggests something of the fly
problems. But do not be discouraged.
There is more to be said.

FR|SCO'S TWO-CfNT
RATE CQNF|SCATORY
JUDGE TRIEBER'S RULING
RAILROAD CASE WILL AGAIN
BE APPEALED TO U. S.
SUPREME COURT.

Little Rock, April 6.--Judge Trieber,
IN the federal court here yesterday
made perpetual the temporary in
Junction he issued several years AGO.
restraining the state from enforcing
the tWo-cent passenger rate and the
standard distance freight tariff SEIZED
ule against the Frisco railroad.
By agreement made between the
Parties at the time the suit was insti-
tated the order will also apply to the
Kansas City Southern railroad.
Judge Trieber held that the passen-
ger and freight rates as applied to
the Frisco was confscatory. The
legislature of 1907 passed a law fix
Ing the maximum passenger rate at
two cents per mile in Arkansas. The
Iron Mountain and Cotton Belt rail
roads filed an injunction suit against
the enforcement of the rate and a
temporary injunction was granted at
st. Paul by Judge Vandeventer. This
injunction was in this case upheld the
railroads and the state then appealed
! to the supreme court of the United
States. This tribunal reversed Judge
Trieber's ruling, declaring that the
railroads had not produced sufficient
evidence to show that the rates were
contiscatory and the case was return
ed to the lower court.
Exhibits by the railroad company
show that, covering a period of four
years, the intrastate freight receipts
We're 81 ,045, 1880, and the intrastate
passenger receipts $2,680,095.59,
while the interstate freight receipts
were $10,150, S34.01, and the inter
state passenger receipts were $13,-
al ,556.41. Besides this there were
mail and express earnings of $780,
S06.86, making the grand total of
passenger revenues $16,68S, 486.S6
The yearly earnings were taken as
$4,172,121.71.
Upon the basis of the assessed val
uation of the Frisco's property in
Arkansas it was held that the rail
road had made on interstate business
was approximately 5.63 per cent On
interstate business it was shown that
virtually nothing was returned.
The state will appeal to the United
States supreme court.
