PERFECT HARMONY
 IN LEGl LATURE
Number of Important Bills In- trOduced-Sen. Bush Has In trOduced Bill Relative to Change of Venue Cases.

Little Rock, Jan. 11.-Administra- tion measures began to present them selves in the Senate Thursday after noon, and several of those advocated by Gov. Brough in his message of Wednesday afternoon, were among the number. There was no split of forces in the introduction of the bills, and from all appearances the breech which was healed by the action of the admin istration forces in the morning ses- sion, when the journal was made to show that Gov. Hays appointments had been received by the Senate on the day before, was to be permanent.
 Senator Ponder, who had been vot- ing with the so-called "anti-adminis- tration" forces, was the first to bring in an administration bill. He intro duced bill which will change the system of lending the school funds, so that the percentage will be increas- ed from three to six per cent. This measure has also the indorsement of the Arkansas State Teachers Asso- citation. It was referred to the Judi ciary committee.
 Two bills were introduced to create a state text book commission, also in line with the governors recommenda- tions. One of the bills was introduced by Senators Jones and Rogers, and the other came from Senator Carter. There is little difference between the bills, and they were sent to the Edu- cational committee which has already a uniform text book bill and they will be considered along with several oth- CTS which are yet to come.
 Another administration measure, or one which is in degree sponsored by Gov. Brough, is that introduced by Senator Caruth and others, providing for the erection of a general state hospital in Little Rock, on land now owned by the State, and to appropri- ate $200,000 in addition to maintain it for the biennial period.
 Senator Adamson introduced bill directly in line with the administra- tive policy of the executive depart ment. It provides for contingent and expenses for circuit judges and chancellors, allowing them S5 per | day for such expenses when away | from home. The judiciary committee will pass upon this bill at it's first 
 Senator Burgess endeavors to ere ate state board of censorship for i picture shows, and names II. A. Higgs of Clarksville, and James B. Dunlap of Helena, as two of the censors, the third to be selected later. This commission would have jurisdic- ton over all moving picture shows of the state, and a penalty is provided for the violation of the provisions of the bill. The bill was read twice, and not referred to a committee.
 The second bank guaranty bill of | the session was introduced by Senator Duty, and in order that all may be advised as to its provis- ons, 800 copies were ordered printed. The bill will be threshed out later be-

Perry Smith and Slagle were walking down Main street when they passed Mark Mccain who was seated on the sidewalk; that Mark Mccain spoke to Slagle and Slagle turned to speak to him when one or both of the Mccain boys opened fire on him with pistols. That Slagle ran to the center of the street where he fell. That Slagle ran to feed room followed by Joe and Henry Mccain who continued shoot ing at him and that after he fell Henry Mccain shot him in the back and struck him over the head with his pistol. Witnesses differed as to whe- ther Slagle ever had a pistol; some saying he shot Joe Mccain while others thought the Mccain boys acci- dentally shot their father and that Joe was shot by Henry. Some wit nesses testified Mark Mccain fell in the street and was shot at by Slagle, while others say Mark Mccain did not fall until he was shot by one of his sons.
 The witnesses on behalf of the de- fense testified Mark Mccain was shot by Slagle and that Henry Mccain never appeared upon the scene until after his father had been shot. The McCains testified in their own behalf and swore Slagle precipitated the difficulty by sneering at Mark Me Cain and drawing his pistol and shoot ing at him before either of the Me Cain boys ever shot. They denied they came to Prescott for the purpose of killing Slagle but that they were here on business and were attacked by Slagle. Numerous witnesses testified as to the good character of the Me Gains and some as to. the character of Slagle. the defense undertaking to show he was overbearing and quarrel some.
 Tillman B. Parks, prosecuting at torney, and Col c. c. Hamoy repre- sented the state, and J. o. A. Bush Detxer Bush, and w. F. Denman ap- peared for the defendant.
 The cost to the county in this case has been enormous and has probably amounted to $2500 A great many witnesses were summoned who knew nothing of the fight and were never placed on the witness stand.
 The jurymen trying the case are as follows: s. V. Eubanks, Paris At kins, Ed Strange, Joe Epperson, A. J Fuller, w. H. Rollins, J. B. Silvy George Herring, J. s. McKissic, C. E Tompson, c. M. Morgan, T. E. Bailey
 The cases of Mark and Joe McCail both charged with first degree murder are set for March 12.
