That the legislative visiting com mittee was very favorably impressed with the Arkansas State Normal School was evidenced this morning by talks made by each member of the committee during chapel exercises at that institution. Every member of the committee was apparently both surprised and delighted with the in stitution and gave assurances that the modest appropriation sought by the board of trustees for the coming biennial period would have the com mittee's cordial support.
 The committee here today is com posed of Senators B. H. Greenhouse of Washington county and s. c. Sims of Prairie county; Representative J. c. Belote of Hot Spring county and w. L. Pope of Randolph county. Rep resentative A. c. Gray of Independ- ence county, another member, was un- able to make the trip to Conway to- day.

HOUSE Y0IES FOR NEW CONSTITUTION WOULD CALL CONVENTION HOUSE ADJOURNS TO MONDAY WITH CONDRAY OPPOSING
 DOWDY BILL.

Little Rock, Feb. 11.-Should the senate pass bill which passed the house by a vote of 60 to 31, Arkansas will have new constitution before the close of the present year. The bill was introduced early in the ses- sion by MT. Yerger of Chicot, and originally provided for an election on June P, 1915, of 12S delegates for a convention to be held September 5, 1915. This was amended to reduce the number of delegates from 12S to S5, of whom one is to be elected from each county and ten from the state at large. Speeches against the bill were made by Messrs. Gray and Brockman, and speeches in support of it's passage were made by Messrs. Yerger, Condray, Belote, Griffin and Josephs. The bill carries approxi- mately 1000 for the expenses of the convention,
 When the house reconvenes next Monday morning it will resume con sderation of the Dowdy bill provid- ing for the creation of state fiscal board for the control of all the states educational, penal and charitable in stitutions. It is being opposed by MT. Condray of Faulkner county, who had not yielded the floor at the time of adjournment, 1 p. m., Wednesday. He declares that it centralizes too much power in board of seven mem bers. Speaker Sawyer took the floor in support of the bill.
 The bill presented to the Oklahoma house of representatives carrying with it an appropriation of SAY ,366, insuring an equal amount from the federal government under the Smith Lever bill, was passed on February 8, without a dissenting vote. This is giv- ing encouragement to the profitable farming campaign in Arkansas, and it is hoped will have a bearing upon the bill pending in the Arkansas leg islature

CONWAY MAY GET
 S75,OOO BUILDING BILL IS INTRODUCED ak4hx .la CONGRESSMA WRITES HE HAS STRONG HOPES OF
 ITS PASSAGE.

Following the selection by the treasury department of site for a postof1ice building at Conway, Jo Frauenthal today received a letter from Congressman II. NJ. Jacoway stating that he expects to press the passage of an appropriation of $75,- 900 for a building to be erected on the site.
 It has not been generally known that such bill was pending in con 9ress, but MT. Jacoway writes that it was introduced by him sometime ago but that he was not in a position to urge it's passage until the site for the building had been decided upon. The congressman states that he now has strong hopes of securing an appropri- alton of the amount asked for.
 Mi. Jacoway's letter states he has already compiled considerable data upon the need of government build ing in Conway, but that he desires further information as to the amount of paved streets, sidewalks, other pub lie improvements and the educational institutions of the city. MT. Frauen- thai is arranging tc compile and for ward this data at once.
 Although it has been stated that the architects bureau of the treasury department is several years behind with building projects already author zed, it is believed here that arrange ments can be made to cooperate with the government architects and fur nish them outside assistance, so that the construction of the Conway build ing can be greatly hastened after the appropriation has been made.

S40,000 PANAMA
 FAIR BILL PASSES CONSOLIDATE ELECTIONS SENATE ALSO PASSES BILL, FOR THAT PURPOSE-LEVEE
 BILL ADOPTED.

Little Rock, Feb. 11.-Starting out as though stern opposition was to be offered to the Duty bill appropriating S40,000 for an exhibit at the Panama Pacific International Exposition, the senate Wednesday afternoon began offering amendments to the bill. when considered in committee of the whole, but after the first was voted down the opposition crumbled and the bill passed, with only seven dissent ing votes.
 The senate in it's afternoon session passed the Robertson bill from the house, permitting the directors of the St. Francis Levee District to make an additional bond issue, and the Great house bill consolidating elections. The Collins and Jones bill fixing a mini mum wage for women was also dis cussed, but the Greenhouse bill dis placed 1t on the calendar.
 The senate considered briefly the Adamson bill which gives judges the right to grant paroles in vacation. This was amended to prevent any judge from granting parole for vio- lation of liquor laws. Senator Adam son stated that he did not wish to have his bill placed back on second reading for amendment, but had been advised that it would possibly be de feated if he did not consent to this amendment, so he acquiesed
 There was rather spirited debate on the Greenhouse consolidation of election bill, Senator Collins raising the disturbance when he referred to conditions during reconstruction days, when the elections were held at the same time. This started Senator Alexander Hamilton, veteran of the civil war, and he gave personal ex- periences at the polls during those days of strife. Senator Smith of Un- ion did not speak on the bill, but he called attention to the fact that Sen ator Hamilton had been a ku-klux Senator Greenhouse replied that Ar kansas was one of the few states not having the national and state cleo tions on the same date, being a back number in that line, along with Mas sachusetts and few other "Yankee" states He declared that a crooked election could not be held by consoi- dation, and that it would arouse in- terest Senator Greenhouse stated that the present apathy was liable to send a negro to congress some day. The bill then passed on vote of 17 to 12
 When the Panama-P Pacific approp- riation bill was read Senator Smith of Union offered an amendment to strike out the $40,000 wherever it ap- peared in the bill.
 What will that leave to the bill?' asked Senator Greenhouse.
 Nothing in Gods world but the paper it is written on," replied Sena- tor Smith.
 We had better buy seed for the people of Arkansas who suffer from last years drouth,' continued Senator Smith, than to appropriate this money to send few men who have already been selected away off there to make a big show. We don't need this to let people know Arkansas is on the map
