SENATE REFUSES TO
CONFIRM COFFMAN
Turns Down Governors Appointment
on Board of Charities-HUt
Fight on Surrid9e.

Little Rock, March 9,-The state
senate yesterday refused to confirm
the appointment to the board of
charitable institutions of l.. l.. Coff-
man, who resigned as state auditor
last Wednesday to accept the new
place. A former deputy preferred
charges against Mr.. C0ffman before
the senate.
Charges were filed against James
Surridge of Walnut Ridge before the
senate in executive session yesterday
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 appointees, as well as those of
Acting Gov. Futrell, with the eXcep-
ton of l.. l.. Coffman, whom the SEN
ate refuses to confirm. Surridge was
nominated for the six year term as a
member of the board of control of
the state charitable Institutions, and
Coffman for the two year term.
The senate was loath to go into
the executive session, but Senator

something of interest that should 60

votes had been taken, the curiosity
of the members either became too
great for resistance or the oratory OF

that the charges against Surridge
were that he had violated the liquor

records of the county. 1t is rumor-

WHY HH0GMANAY7'

Various Explanations Given OF SCOTCH
Name For New Years Eve.
1t is natural with New Years even
more than with other holidays that a
large part of the observance should
fall upon the eve rather than upon
the day. In no other festival or fast
Is any single moment SO important as
the moment of midnight that marks
the change from the 31st Of December
to the LIST of January. That Is the
turning pois in the celebration, the
thing itself Which Is celebrated. The
early ceremonies lead up to it. and
the later ones begin with II.
Nobody knows why the 81st OF De
cember should be called Hogmanay in
Scotland In the north Of England this
word is Hagmena. and in two or
three other countries there are names
for the day that sound a little like
these Several unlikely guesses have
been made at the origin OF the word,
and they are as improbable as guess
es made entirely without basis Of
knowledge usually are. One OF them
is that the words 'Hogmanay, trollo
lay" which occur In song, are a cor
ruption of ''Homme est ne-trois rois
la" This theory ignores with calm
ness OF indifference that is positively
fascinating the fact that the word
trolloiay occurs In a thousand other
songs where it could not by any pos
sible stretch OF pathological magma.
ton mean .'trois rois la" It is here
set down only TO illustrate once more
the absurd extremity to which the
craze for ignorantly deriving words
win carry its victims. The word Hog
manay was applied also to a certain
dole OF oat cakes. sometimes accom-
panied by cheese, given, to a child on
this day. The children OF the poorer
people went about in companies ask.
ing these gifts, and the people who
were more well to do often gave them
in such, quantities that the problem
was rather how to carry them than
how to get them.
Going about in large parties to visit
neighbors with one sort of ceremony
or another formed a part Of the OBJ
servance OF many an old custom in
England and Scotland, but the pres.
ent time seems to pave been one Of the
most favored Of all In this respect
