A new bill affecting the coal mining industry, operators and miners, has been introduced in the house at the instance Of State Mine Inspector Thomas H. Shaw, as substitute for the bill introduced several weeks ago by Representative Johnson of Sebas- tion county. The Johnson bill, it Is understood, has been looked upon with
 dfsfavor by the House Committee on Mines and Mining, a rather strenuous hearing having been held on the bill before that committee. The coal ope- rators were particularly opposed 10 the measure, declaring it entirely too drastic. The new bill, according to State Mine Inspector Shaw, is for the purpose of restoring to the inspector the rights given him under the act of 1893, but which were subsequently, re- pealed, by implication. in the act of 1905 governing the operation of mines

Senator Lundy, in advocating an amendment to telephone rate bill in the Senate to prohibit city officials from accepting free telephone service, said:
 When a man accepts city office he should pay to ride on street cars and pay for his telephone out of his salary. If he can't afford it on the salary he receives, he should give up the job. It is unfair and a graft to tax the people higher rates to pay for the free service extended city off cials.

After the house had defeated the Senate bill for the extension of tax paying time all over the state until November l, Representative Gray of Independence secured the cooperation of the representatives of twelve other counties, and introduced. local bill affecting those counties alone.
 They are: Independence, Izard, Full ton. Sharp, Jackson, Clay, Randolph, Green, Lawrence. Howard, Nevada, Prairie and Monroe.
 But this bill had hard sailing from the first. Objection was raised that this was a general bill as affecting the revenues of the whole state, and could not therefore be considered on local bill day. This point of order was over ruled by Mir. Gentry, temporary Speaker. Intellectual attempts were made to indefinitely postpone and to table, and the bill was finally referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

liG III Sl LII lilt fOiut committees report on the audit Of tha Departments of State was made in the house and Senate Thursday afternoon covering the investigation of the De partment of Land, Highways and I'm. provements. The report makes sc rtous charges against the conduct of the affairs Of the Department.
 w. B. Owen. state land commis. sioner, said subsequently, that the re- port does not properly reflect eondi- tions in his department and emphat- ieally denies all charges of irregulari- ty that had been made by the commit tee. He said there mad been no mis- use of funds and that the rock crusher has been run at a profit to the state rather than as at a loss as charged by the committee.
 It is charged that it has been the custom of the department:
 ''To receive money on state accounts for services and matters pertaining to that department contrary to law. This disobedience of the law absolutely de- stroys an accounting and checking system. their own books being the on. ly evidence we have of part of the money received by the department The committee assumes that all moneys belonging to the state have been accounted for. but it has no way to verify this assumption"
 The committee charges that the de. partment spent $1.275.75 for an auto mobile. in defiance of law and with out precedent in our state govern ment."
 It is also charged that from Novem- Der, 1913, to January 31. 1915, the sum of S640.3l was expended for gasoline and S675.75 for automobile repairs out of the rock crusher fund This says the committee, illustrates the fact that automobiles are expensive They find a further sum of $9S6.11 for auto mobile expenses making a total of S2,- 303.07, which we leave without fur. ther comment"
 It Is charged that all but S541 has been expended Of an appropriation of $1,250 in 1913 to pay the per diem and travelling expenses of the highway commission. In addition the commits sion drew from another appropriation for the same purpose the sum of s. 402.67, which they alleged was "con. trary to law" Attention is called to trip made by members of the Com mission to Good Road Convention at Atlanta at cost of s1,17705. This trip says the report, cost the State of Arkansas about S100 a day. What good was done by the trip is not stat ed and your committee is not specifi- eally advised"
 It is charged that the rock crusher account shows a loss to the state of S11,17680. Charges were also made that during the year 1915 to date 43 official or free automobile tags have been issued. a clear loss of s10 each to the state, whereas there is no au- thority in law permitting the issuance of free tags to any person, anywhere, at any time. The committee submits that such conduct is unjustifiable con trary to law, and a gross abuse of power" The committee says the commissioners responsible for their is- suance should be made to repay the state the amount thus lost.

According to authentic reports the

1 ,0s4 paintings, $4,000 eschings. 5,00t
autographs, and a quantity Of 5manti-
scripts Of which as vet 1t has been
impossible to even make an estimate.
Austrian Poles bitterly resent this
raiding Of their art and literary holy
lof-holies, since among the objects
carried on there are many priceless
specimens Of an original literary and
art historical character which II
would be impossible to replace.
The institution was founded about
1873 by Count joseph AfasN,nilian os-

grew RAPIDLY and in 1887 1t included
one Of the largest and best collections
Of iaster-ot-paris casts in Huroec
in addition to coins and medals. cop

'hensiye collection OF objects related

a few years later q large printing
