PLAN NO EFFORTS TO
 REPASS RAGING BILL
SPEAKER SAWYER SAYS MAT. TER MAY GO INTO
 THE COURTS.

Little Rock, March 9-Speaker Sawyer of the house and other SUD- porters of the racing bill which Gov. Hays endeavored to veto Monday night said last night that they will make no effort to repass the bill in the legisla- ture. Speaker Sawyer Monday night declared the bill passed on the ground that the governor did not veto it with in the constitutional time limit. He said the matter probably will be tested in the courts. However, it is pointed out that the governor could effectively block the bill by refusing tc appoint the members of the racing commission provided in the bill.
 Gov. Hays last night issued a signed statement in which he said that his tiist act was to veto the bill by writ ing the word "disapproved' with his signature. He said the six men who have signed affidavits that they saw him sign the bill probably referred to his action in crossing out the syllable "dis" from the word "disapproved. He said he crossed out this syllable and afterward wrote it over again. He offered no explanation as to why he did this and said he would add nothing to his signed statement.

OPPOSES THE BOND ISSUE FOR
 BUILDING ROADS.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 I would like to say few words about the Condray road law. 1 think that it is a very unjust law, if it be- comes law. It seems to exempt the merchandise and banks and money of the county, and have the farmers to build the roads, and it don't seem to be equal on the real estate. Those assessors may not know what the ben eft is. They may say if there is no road built down on the Arkansas river it does not benefit that land and the finest land in the county may be eX- empt. Now, I don't think it right for the farmers of the county to build an automobile road for the other fel- low. I am infavor of good roads, but I would like for the wealth of the county to help build them

4 JURORS SELECTED 10 TRY LIE BLOUNT
 CASE ATTRACTS CROWD
SLAYER OF OSCAR L. HONEA PUT ON TRIAL AT SPECIAL
 TERM OF COURT.

A special term of Faulkner circuit court was convened at 10 o'clock at the courthouse this morning by Judge Thomas c. Trimble, Sr., for the pur- pose of trying Lee Blount of May flower, charged with first degree mur- der for killing Deputy Sheriff Oscar l.. Honea. Honea was killed on Octo- Der 22 while attempting to arrest Blount, who with two other prisoners escaped from the county jail on Octo- Der 19.
 Blount was indicted for first degree murder at the January term of court. When brought before the court he ad- mltted killing Honea, but claimed self defense. Being unable to employ coun- sel, the court appointed J. c. Clark and A. l.. Barber, local attorneys, to ! conduct the defense. Today formal plea of not guilty was entered by the defendant.
 The defense asked for a change of venue, but after hearing testimony of J. w. Warner of Chadwick and J. R. Miller and A. L. Martin of Mayhower, the motion was over-ruled, and the court ordered the trial to proceed. The work of securing a jury was begun at 10:45 o'clock, and at noon only one juror, H. B. Bush, farmer who lives near Beryl, was accepted, all members of the first panel being examined. The work of examining the second panel was begun at 1 30 o'clock this afternoon. From the sec ond panel three jurors were selected, w. D. Lybarger of Greenbrier, w. kisson of Mt. Vernon, all of whom are farmers.
 At 2:30 o'clock this afternoon the court directed Sheriff w. w. Bishop to summon a special venir of 75 jury men, and to instruct each to come into court immediately upon being sum- moned, so that there might be no de- lay in the trial. It is thought hard | ly probable that a full jury will be selected today.
 Blount was brought to Conway this morning from the state penitentiary at Little Rock where he had been con- fined since the January term of court He displayed little emotion when brought into the courtroom He lis tened intently as the attorneys pro pounded the questions to the jurors, testing their qualification to serve in his case. Frequently he conferred with his counsel
 Seated beside him was his wife, in whose lap was their little four-yeal old daughter. Directly in front of the prisoner was J. B. Honea, aged fath- CT of the slain officer.
