SUFFERERS ASK
 AID OF GOVERNOR

Little Rock, Feb. Ex-Governor Hays yesterday received request from Sheriff R. F. Milwee for tents to be used by the citizens of south eastern Monroe county, in the vicinity of Postelle, who have been driven out of their homes by the floods. There are many in great distress and help less.
 Under the regulations of the war department, the tents of the national guard cannot be sent out for any pur- pose unless accompanied by a de- tachment of the guard, minimum of five men and one commissioned of ficer, whose expenses must be paid. This would amount to about S9 a day. Governor Hays is exerting every pos sible effort to provide relief for those who are calling for assistance.
 Reports from the state farm are that the marooned convicts are being removed as rapidly as possible with launches, but late yesterday over 200 of them were still huddled on the crumbling fragments of the levee awaiting rescue The condition was most distressing. The commission is doing its utmost to meet it.

 Water pouring through the breaks ] in the levee, is rushing through the town in a torrent, although it is sev- eral miles from the river The cur rent is so swift that row boats could not survive in it.

ELLIS LfYFf OUT
 NEAR M0RR|LT0N MANY FARMS FLOODED
OVERFLOW CAUSES LOSS OF $3,0OO IN FOODSTUFF TO
 ONE FARMER.

Morrilton, Feb. 3.-The breaking of the Ellis levee, four miles south east of Morrilton, on the north side of the Arkansas river, Tuesday night, caused heavy loss. The water rush. ing through break 100 feet wide swept away large storage barn be- longing to R. R. Fiser, containing 1000 bales of alfalfa, 1000 bushels of corn and farming implements. The loss is estimated at $3,000 The flood waters still are rushing through the break and there is some fear that the river may cut a new channel through an old roadbed.
 Another levee broke on the Henry James plantation, four miles from here, on the north side of the river, flooding 400 acres of alfalfa and 100 acres of wheat, which will be total loss.
 At Martins ferry, on the south side of the river, six miles above Nor rilton, a cotton gin, sawmill and pow Ter plant at the foot of Petit Jean mountain, were swept away. The bank still is caving and it is feared that large store also will fall into the river. The ferry boat was de- stroyed by driftwood.
 This news was brought back by a rural mail carrier, who took his mail sacks to Martins ferry on barge.
 Several empty barges from Darda- nelle and houseboat have been res cued from the river here.
 The river is falling slightly here.

EIGHT HOUR LAW
 HAS 4 DEFENDER
Republican A. P. Leased wlrel

CHICAGO, Sept. 29.-"A word about the so- called eight -hour law as related to railroad operatives" by William J. Stone, United States senator from Missouri, was issued by the western national democratic headquarters here today. Accompanying the statement was an assertion that Senator Stone was representing the thought of the administration on the subject. The statement said in part:
 "Messrs. Hughes, Roosevelt, Root Lodge, Penrose, Crane, Pierpont Nor gan, George w Perkins and that en- tire genus, maintain that the president and congress surrendered to force, and thereby discredited public authority and weakened the foundations of our governmental institution.
 "One weakness about this charge is that it is false. Nobody threatened the president or congress- nobody demand ed anything of them. There was no controversy between the government and the railroad employees, nor between the government and the railroad man agements. The controversy was purely l industrial, waged between several hun dred thousand men who actually oper- ate trains on the one hand and the managers of the railroads on the other"

COMMISSION IN
 REGULAR SESSION

Paving between car tracks, the re- moval of the Salt River Valley canal, and many other more or less import ant matters occupied the attention of the city commission at its regular ses- sion yesterday morning. Vice Chair man George N. MacBean presided in the absence of Mayor Peter Corpstein. and the balance of the commission was in attendance.
 That the city may order the paving between the street railway tracks on any street where paving is in progress, and in the event of the failure or re- tusal of the company to do such pav- ing, the city may have the work done and charged back as a lien against the company and collected as taxes, was the substance of an ordinance adopted.
 As there are now two or three streets
 Tn the course of being paved on each slde or the car tracks, it is expected that an order will be issued directing | the paving between the tracks under 1 the provisions of the new ordinance in order to test the measure.
 owners of property adjacent to the town ditch protested that the odOr re- gently arising from the nearly empty
 basln defied description, and urged that the commission declare the ditch a nuisance. By this means they be-
 heVed action could be taken toward US elimination. These property own
 CTS were told that active steps have
 already been taken looking to the diversion of the ditch by the Maricopa canal, and were also informed of the
 sending of the message, printed ex- elusively in The Republican yesterday. to Director A. P. Davis, asking that he
 officially take up the matter.
 Further time was granted the Cali fornia Arizona Construction company : to complete the paving on West Wash lngton street Mrs. Hattie Mosher. in
 a communication read. announced that she would withdraw her proffer of a
 site for combined city hall and court ! house unless the offer was officially accepted within thirty days. A section or the building ordinance, requiring a thickness of one foot in buildings of
 one-story, was amended to make the
 required thickness eight inches.
