Grated by the covering of shorts by the

INVESTIGATION MAY BE MORE SEARCHING
 THAN ONE OF 1905
Arrests Already Made Result of
 Weeks Planning of Prosecutor and Detectives-Stated Num- Der Other Arrests Will Follow.

Little Rock, Feb. 27.-There is but one big question today in news circles of Arkansas, and it is not necessary to give more than one guess to center this on the alleged boodling in the Senate. This promises to be the real thing in legislative probing, for Pro- scouting Attorney M. E. Dunaway has ambitions, and he is determined to build on the foundation that has been placed in his hands.
 People familiar with conditions al lege that the investigation will be far more searching than was that of 1905, and that there will be a relentless prosecution on all indictments re- turned.
 The arrests that have been already made were not the result of accident but of some weeks planning by Prose cutting Attorney Dunaway, and with the aid of detectives of vast expert ence. From the beginning of the ses- sion there have been many rumors that things were not just as they might be, and about that time dash ing young woman who claimed to be a lobbyist, appeared on the scene.

STATE AUDITOR OLIVER RE-
 FUSES TO GRANT PETITION

Little Rock, Feb. 28.-Hogan Oliver, auditor of state, yesterday refused to grant a petition of B. F. Bush, re- ceiver of the Iron Mountain railroad, for a refund of S15,896.27 paid as franchise tax for the year ending July 30, 1916. MT. Oliver holds that the tax was legally due the State, and the only. authority that would justify its
 return is an opinion by Judge You mans, of the federal courts of the Ft.
 Smith district, to the effect that the franchise statutes of the state do not require the payment of franchise tax <. by receiver in charge of the assets of railway corporations. The attorney i general, however, has filed a motion i for a rehearing and that decree is not yet final A report of his action was filed with the General Assembly.

was much in the company of certain Senators, and it is stated that some obligingly explained the details of legislation to her, and that these frag- ments were later woven into the whole cloth through the assistance of other detectives who later appeared in the city.
 So alert have been the detectives that close check was made on all ballots in the Senate, and when there was change in the attitude of a Senator, without an apparent good reason showing on the surface, the detectives conducted an investigation to determine the cause.
 All kinds of rumors have been cur rent since the arrest of Senators Sims and Burgess was made. It has been asserted that many more arrests were to follow, that confessions had been made that would involve some of the leaders in the Assembly, and that large debts have been paid since the session began by Senators who were unable to meet their obligations be- fore coming to Little Rock

APPROPRIATIONS FOR AGRI-
 CULTURAL SCHOOLS PASSES

Little Rock. Feb. 2S.-The appro- priations for the agricultural schools have finally gotten through both Houses. The bill provides for the ex- penditure of SS5,000 for each of the schools during the next biennial per iod. One half of this is to be paid for the year 1917 out of the general reve- nue fund, and noe half for 1918 out of the proceeds of the levy of one-ninth of mill provided for in the millage bill.
 The House yesterday rejected an amendment previously adopted to levy tax of one-tenth of a mill for the purpose of raising necessary funds to refund the University endowment bonds. It had been rendered unneces- sary by the adoption of an amend ment to the University appropriation bill providing for the refund of the excess of revenue derived from the four ninths of a mill in 1918, which will be sufficient to take care of the item.

DELEGATES TO CONVENTION
 MUST PUBLISH STATEMENT

Little Rock, Feb. 2S.-By a vote of 63 to 16, the House passed a bill by Holloway and Waggoner to require the candidates for delegate to the con- stitutional convention to file sworn statement with the county clrek, to be published at the expense of the candidate, showing his affiliation, at attorney, officer, director or stock holder with any corporation.
 Speaker Cazort took the floor in opposition to the bill, declaring that, since 54 members had signed the bill, there was little use in opposing it. But he believed that on sober second thought many would conclude that they had acted hastily, and that it was not good bill He argued that the time has come when the demagogue's efforts to stir up strife and prejudice between the corporations and the masses must stop if the state Is to make any progress. Capital should be invited and encouraged, instead of antagonized, and corporations, which are the creatures of the state, should not he held up to execration as crim- inals.
