NAMES ATTORNEYS
 TO DEFEND STATE

Little Rock, Jan. 20.-J. R. Crock CT, late chief deputy in the office of Secretary of State Hodges, has re- turned to his home at Ozark to en- gage in the practice of law. Before his departure, Governor Hays ap- pointed him special counsel for the purpose of collecting delinquent fran chise tax, of which there is several thousand dollars. In some instances the delinquencies extend back to 1907.
 There are pending in the Pulaski circuit court suits affecting the State Nurse and Veterinary Boards and the State Game Commission. Attor- ney General Davis has requested as- sistance in looking after these cases, and for this purpose Governor Hays has appointed J. M. Futrell and D. C.. Beauchamp of Paragould, and Lee Miles of Little Rock as special coun- sel. The suits seek to tie up the funds for these various purposes on the ground that no appropriation was made by direct statute for their eX- penditure. It is the contention of the state that the acts creating the varl- ous boards and commissions provide for the disposal of the funds without further appropriation.
