ial to the Log Cabin Democrat.

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat
 Little Rock, Feb. 20.-The senate today passed number of important house bills, including the following: The Josephs-Gentry bill, providing fo rreprnting the supreme court re- ports; the McFarlin bill, appropriat- ing $5,000 to fight the introduction of insect pests in fruit treets; the Cardwell bill, providing for filling vacancies in the office of United States senator by appointment of the governor if the vacancy occurs within less than year from the ex- piration of the term; and the Harris bill permitting special school dis tricts to issue bonds.
 The Ruff bill regulating the sale of patent medicines was withdrawn in the senate today.
 The senate yesterday afternoon passed the Duty bill for guaranty of bank deposits. The Collier bill provided for deposits being guaran- teed by each bank through an in crease of the liability of the stock holders. This bill presented one of the most strenuous battles yet seen in the senate. It was passed by vote of IF to Is, but was left open for reconsideration.
 As soon as the bill was declared carried Senator Duty was recog- nized and offered a motion that the vote by which the bill passed be re- considered and that motion laid on the table. There was opposition to this and senators voted by rising un- til there was so much confusion that President Davenport declared he would force a roll call. The senate then voted 17 to F on the motion, and it was declared lost on a tie, hence the bill remained in the senate and subject to reconsideration with in three days.
 Notwithstanding the urgent spec ial message of Governor Brough for the creation of the office of fire mar shal, the earnest and eloquent speeches in it's favor by Representa- tives Josephs and Johnson, and the expressed willingness and desire on the part of the insurance men for the passage of the bill, the house yesterday afternoon defeated the Josephs bill by vote of 27 to 61. It was shown that the expense would be borne by increased taxes from the insurance companies, but they were willing to bear the extra expense because of the added protection they would receive against incendiarism and carelessness, and by the elimina tion of the cement that operates against the moral hazard.

TENANT ATTACKS FARMER WITH AK 
 J. ". HARRINGTON HURT Struck in Head with an AK by John Fish, Who is Jailed on Assault
 to Kill Charge.

Following a dispute this morning, J. w. ("Doc") Harrington, living four miles south of Conway, was struck with an ax and dangerously wounded by John Fish, a tenant. Harrington received a wound about six inches long on his neck and shoulder. Dr. l. N. McCollum, who attended him, said that his wound may not prove serious. Fish was ar rested and placed in the county jail by Sheriff w. w. Bishop. A charge of assault with intent to kill will be lodged against him.
 According to the story given the officers, Fish had contracted to make a share crop on Harringtpn's place, known as the Oviatt place, but late ly he hired to another farmer. When Harrington visited Fish this morn7 ing, he told Fish that he would have to start working on his place or move off his premises. Harrington then started to leave, and when he turned his back Fish picked up an aX and struck him.
 Harrington recently moved to the Oviatt place from near Greenbrier.

MAYOR PLEASED WITH
 TRAFFIC OBSERVANCE

q wish you would express to the people my thanks for the commenda- ble manner in which they are com plying with the traffic ordinance" said Mayor J. c. Dawson to the Log Cabin Democrat today. "Since the notice was given that the provisions of this ordinance would be strictly enforced it seems that everyone IS cheerfully endeavoring to comply with them, and it may be that some serious accidents that would other wise have occurred will be avoided. There are, however, still one or two provisions of the ordinance that are not being as carefully observed as they should be. Some drivers are still driving up to the left side of the street and are turning their vehi- cles between blocks rather than at street crossings, as the regulations require. Another point l would men tion is that the provisions of the or dinance apply with equal force to horse-drawn vehicles and they are governed by the same regulations as to keeping to the right, turning cor ners. etc, as the motor-driven ve- hicles"

thing approaching a conclusive esti'
mate as 10 the number OF men actu-
ally enrolled. An official statement
returns as were at hand indicated that
the 10.200O0O estimate Of the census
bureau for the total OF men within the
prescribed ages would not be eQualed.
Exemptions High.
\ feature Of the few complete re-
turns in is the high percentage Of in
dictated exemptions, averaging ap.
proximately SO per cent of the total
registration. Officials pointed out,
however, that this did not mean ac-
tual exemptions, as the indicated fig
'ures include all married men and
those in executive, judicial or legis-
lions have been promulgated 1t will be
impossible to say how many OF these
will be included in those to be marked
off the military rolls. The one con.
elusive result of the registration that
cannot be altered in the slightest. de-
gree by any possible variation from
the estimates is that millions Of
young Americans have put In their
names, claiming no exemption and
stating no reason for release from
war service.
As to Married Men.
In regard 10 the married men, Sec
rotary Baker said today that in all the
letters he has received on the subject
of exemption. not one even suggested
that marriage should establish q class
exemption. He added that 1t was NOT
tho purpose Of the department to make
such a ruling but individual cases
would be- dealt with on their merits,

Gmption might be.
