Senate Votes To Submit to
People University Removal
Amendment to Bill Creating District in Pulaski to
Raise $1,000,000 Provid es for People to Vote
On Question

Little Rock, Feb. 21.-By declining
to indefinitely postpone an amend
ment to submit the proposition to the
people OF Arkansas, and later adopt
ing the amendment, the senate We'd
nesday morning surprised every men,
Der in it, and instead of being dead
without hope of resurrection, the
Alexander -Edmondson bill to create
most of Pulaski county into an i'm
provement district to raise $1,000,0O0
for University Of Arkansas to be
located in the county seems to have
a fighting chance for passage.
Senator Edmondson called the bill
up for amendment early in the SEES
sion, and as there was nothing about
the amendment to identify it, except
by number, and the amendment only
called for submission, it was read
twice before Senator Greenhouse, from
Washington county, where the univer-
sity is located, rose to his feet and
moved an indefinite postponement.
Senator Greathouse then spoke at
length on the amendment, going
largely into the agreement between
the state and the citizens of Fayette-
vile, which was ratified by the legis-
lative session of 1871. He charged
that Little Rock did not then bid for
the university, or was hopeless bid
der, and now seeks to take everything
from every other section and move it
to Little Rock. Senator Greenhouse
was quite sarcastic in his remarks
concerning Little Rock, Pulaski coun-
,ty and the authors Of the bill. He de-
clared that it is moral obligation on
the part of the state, and answered
the charge of inaccessibility by stat
ing that the expenses of the student
were so much less in Fayetteville that
he could we'll afford to pay the ex-
cess fare
Says Governor lnterferes.
Senator Alexander replied TO the ar
guments of Senator Greathouse and
created quite ripple of surprise
when he stated that he had been called
TO the office of the governor, and
there requested to hold the bill up
Tor III days. He had complied and
not even spoken to a member about
1t, and at the end of the ten days the
governor then asked him to bring the
Dill up, and he had been informed
that in the meantime the governor
mad been interviewing senators on the

subject until % had pledged against
it. Senator Alexander stated he had
been a victim of practical politics. He
declared that Senator Greenhouse was
afraid to submit the proposition, for
the people of Arkansas were SO
strongly in favor or central univer
sity that they would support the bill.
In questioning another speaker a
short time later, Senator Alexander
established the fact that Vol Walker,
Fayetteville attorney, and close friend
of the administration, had stated in a
speech to the Democratic convention
that the question ought to be settled
now and for all time and on its
merits, and this was virtual admis-
sion that the people should be given
the right to decide.
Senator Brown also spoke against
the indefinite postponement, saying
that the people could be trusted to de-
eide what they wanted to dO in the
matter, and Senator Greenhouse ask
ing him what he thought about the
rights of Fayetteville in the matter,
he replied that the question of whose
university it was decided that. He
stated that if the university belonged
to the people of Arkansas they could
certainly move it if they decided to
do so, and if it belonged to Fayette-
vile, then the people had nothing to
say.
Senator Bush argued against the
location of an university in Little
Rock, stating that the morals OF a city
were not what could be expected of a
smaller town.
Caldwell for POstpOnement.
Senator Caldwell called for the mo-
ton to Indefinitely postpone, assert
ing that the legislature had right tC
undo the actions of the legislature OF
1871, but no legislator would do sc
when he considered the question
fully. He answered the plea for sub
mission by stating that the people
would never know the moral Obliga
tons of the state to Fayetteville, bu1
would hear plenty of the accessibility
of Little Rock, and would vote who'll,
upon whether or not Little Rock was
| the better location.
Before the roll was called Senator
! Smith raised point of order that the
| indefinite postponement of the amend
| ment would not carry with it the in
definite pOstponement of the bill as
stated by the president. Presiden
Davenport stated he would reserve his
final decision on this point. but thu
roll call removed the responsibility
for such a decision.
The senate voted as follows on thu
motion to indefinitely postpone thu
amendment:

REBUILDING OF
TELEPHONE PLANT
TO START SOON
Plans Indicate That System
Will Be Practically New
When Work Finished.

Additions, extensions and replace.
ments to and general overhauling Of
the entire plant Of the telephone
company will be part of the work TO
he done in the near future, as the re-
suit Of the decision of the directors
of the Southwestern Bell Telephone
company to eXpend something more
than $4,000,00O for general improve
ment and extension of the lines of
and Oklahoma.
c. 0. Williams. one of the engi-
neers of the company, spent several
days here last week, and is expected
to return today OR tomorrow, to make
further estimates of the work to be
undertaken here. Local officials of
the company are not in position TO
make airy definite statement as to the
details of the work to be undertaken,
except that It will be Of such nature
as to make the local plant one of the
best and most modern in the state,
capable at all times of caring for all
the demands that may be made upon
it.
1t is known that part of the new
work will be the installation of ad-
ditional switchboard equipment, to
allow for the spreading of the heavy
work of the rush hours and the rush
days. The present switchboard equip.
ment is sufficient for the ordinary
business, but does moi allow for the
big emergency rush periods expected
in the near future, and due primarily
to the growth and building up of the
city and its immediate surroundings.
New cables, some underground and
some overhead, replacing of some
poles, general repairs, complete over
hauling and the increase in capacity.
will constitute the bull, of the work
to be done under the tentative plans
already formed by the engineering
department of the company. This
work will extend to the toll lines
into the surrounding country, the i'm
provements not being confined to the
local lines only The approximate
cost Of the proposed work, has not
been made known, although it is gen.
orally understood la.ge outlay will
be necessary. 1t is planned to begin
the work just as soon as the detailed
plans are completed and the neces.
sary material can be brought here.

TRAINS DISCONTINUED.

The Southern Railroad has been
granted authority to discontinue "a
number of it's trains which will be
effective July first.
The roads throughout the country
will follow the Southern in the aban-
donment of its passenger trains and
the roads in Mississippi may soon be
expected to ask authority of the
railroad commission to take off all
passenger trains that can be conven-
iently to the public discontinued.
The discontinuance of the "News
Boy" out of Memphis which con-
meets with the Mobile and Ohio at
-Corinth will make it necessary for
the Commercial Appeal, u morning
papers to be brought out by the early
Frisco train from Memphis, which ar
rives here at 10:45. This will put
the morning paper in Tupelo a little
more than an hour later than hereto
fore.
