HOUSE KILLS EMORY BOOK PRINTING BILL DIGEST MEETS DEFEAT House Also Reduces Appropriation
 to Pay Caldwell & Drake
 Arbiters.

Little Rock, Feb. 14-The Battle. ax Brigade and the Bill-killers' Un- ion was particularly active in the house yesterday, and numerous re- cruits were added to their number.
 The Bell bill, which sought to re- peal the publicity act, initiated by the people in 1914, and Act 83. of 1915, amendatory thereof was de- feated by vote of 32 to 41. The au- thor of the bill was the principal op- ponent of the measure
 The Caldwell bill, which had passed the senate, to adopt and purchase the Kirby & Castle digest, was defeated by vote of 43 to 46. There was a hard fight made on both sides of the proposition, and more talk about lob bying, both for and against, than had yet been indulged in on any other measure.
 The Emory bill, passed by the sen- ate, providing for the erection of a printing plant and the printing by the state of the textbooks to be used in the public schools of the state, was indefinitely postponed by a vote of 50 to 33.
 The Slaughter bill, to appropriate S31 ,8l3.10 to pay for the services and expenses of arbitrators, attorneys, stenographers, and others in the Cald- well X Drake arbitration, was amend ed to reduce the compensation of the attorneys and arbitrators from $5,0O0 to S2,500. The arbitrators were Chief Justice E. A. McCulloch, Judge Jacob Trieber, and J. V. Walker, and the attorneys were John l. Moore, Steve Carrigan, Jr., and c. w. Me Kay.
 The house also rejected an amend ment previously adopted and refused by the senate, to amend the Cabaniss bill which seeks to prohibit the adver- Using of intoXicants in the state. The amendment provided that the prohibition should not apply to soft drinks, flavoring extracts, patent medicines, etc.
 The house passed bill by Mr. Caldwell providing that when va cancy occurs in the representation of the state in the United States senate, it shall be filled by appoint ment of the governor, if the vacancy should occur in less than 12 months from the expiration of the term. If it should occur more than 12 months before, the governor shall call special election, and the ap- pointment shall be only until the cleo tion can be held.

MAYOR TO ENFORCE TRAFFIC ORDINANCE

Mayor J: c. Dawson asks the Log Cabin Democrat to publish today a warning to motorists that hereafter he expects to enforce strictly the or dinance regulating traffic on the streets of the city. Numerous com plaints, he said, have been made of violations of this ordinance in the way of speeding, turning to the left in- stead of the right, allowing cars to remain too far from the curb, stop ping on the left side instead of the right side of the street, allowing en- zine to run with car unattended, etc. The mayor believes the ordinance has been effective an ample length of time now for all to have become familiar with it's provisions and has instruct ed the officers to arrest everyone caught violating any provision of the traffic regulations.

THREE ARRESTS IN
 Il PASO ROBBERY
TRAILEDBY BLOODHOUNDS
Former Conway Officer Aids in Mak- ing Arrest of Men Charged With
 RObbing Bank.

Three arrests were made yesterday in connection with the bold daylight robbery Tuesday of the Bank of Fl Paso, at Fl Paso, p miles east of Conway. Those arrested were Syd and Frank Quattlebaum, brothers, and a man named Stone. John Quat- tlebaum, another brother, believed by the officers to have been the leader of the band, evaded his pursuers.
 Suspicion pointed to the Quattle- baum brothers from the first, accord ing to officers. Syd Quattlebaums buggy was used by the robbers in making their escape from Fl Paso to the outskirts of the town, where horses were mounted. The buggy was driven to Fl Paso from Floyd, 12 miles distance, where Syd lives, and hitched in a convenient place for the robbers, it is said.
 Former Constable Bob Kings two bloodhounds, which were taken to the scene of the robbery Tuesday night, are said to be mainly responsible for the arrests. The dogs picked up the trail of the bandits in front of the bank building, followed the buggy tracks to the point where the horses had been left by the robbers, and then followed the horses tracks to the place where the men lunched and, it is believed, divided the spells. A scrap of paper, upon which they fig ured the division, was found by the officers at this place. A dime and a nickle, believed to have been a part of the stolen money, also were found here.
 Syd Quattlebaum was arrested at ? o'clock yesterday morning at his home. The house was searched, and false mustache was found. One of the robbers wore a mustache which corresponded to the one found at the Quattlebaum home.
 Frank Quattlebaum and Stone were arrested on the road between Floyd and Fl Paso at II o'clock yesterday morning.
 The trio was searched, but none of the money was found. The officers believe the booty was hid in the All of those arrested de- nied any knowledge of the robbery.
 The prisoners were turned over to Sheriff Glance of White county. A detective employed by bankers as- sociation, of which the Fl Paso bank is member, assisted the officers in down the robbers.
 The arrest of John Quattlebaum is hourly expected, as good descrip- ton of him has been sent broadcast over the state.
 Cashier k. E. Kent. who was in the bank at the time of the robbery, positively identified Stone as one of the pair that held him up and carried off $2,000 of the banks funds. Stone is relative of the Quattlebaums.
 MT. King returned to his home here late last night.

NEXT TO HEBER SPRINGS"

Conway is to get a new govern ment post office building in the near future in case the president approves the bill appropriating $40,00000 for that purpose. That thriving little city, brim full of business men on the alert for everything good for their town, richly deserves this rec ognition by the government.

NEW PLANS FOR
 SAl1|llO ROAD BOUNDARIES CHANGED Completion of Organization Now Certainty, Attorney A. L.
 Barber Declares.

New plans and maps of the Saltillo road district, prepared by the state
 highway commission, were filed in the Faulkner county court yesterday afternoon by A. l.. Barber, attorney for the district. This is a re-organi- zation of the district formed last year, errors in the description having made it necessary to start from the
 beginning and form a new organiza- tion. Some changes were made in the boundaries, however, the district as now outlined including only the business section of Conway and that portion of the residence section inn mediately contiguous to the road Under the original plans the road was stopped at the city limits on Sixth street (the Jacksonville road), but the entire city was included in the district. The new plans carry the road along Sixth street to Harkrider street, Harkrider to Court street, and Court to Van Ronkle street, at which point it will connect with the Vilonia highway and paving district No. l. The new district also embraces con- siderable territory east of Saltillo which was not in the original district
 MT. Barber stated there is no ques- tion that the organization of the dis trict will now be completed. The ori- ginal petitions, he stated, contained a big majority in favor of the district, and the sentiment for it is constantly growing

NOTHING ASKED
Of DRAFTED MEN

Some confusion has arisen among
the men who are registered and have
not been called into service, as to the
plans of the new arrangement and
classification of the men. Some have
the idea that they must register again.
This is wrong. They are required to
fill out the questionaries when they
receive the same and return it within
seven days to the local exemption
board. This must be filled out COM
pletely. 1t can be returned to the
board by mail.
When these are received by the To-
cal exemption boards the men will be
classified and will then be called by
classes instead of numbers. If any
records are incomplete or confused OF
inaccurate, the exemption board may
require the individual to appear in
person before the board so that such
errors may be corrected. If the
QUESTIONABLE is correctly filled out the
registrant will have nothing further tc
do until he receives notice to report
for physical examination.

No more faithful servant has ever

Paul Slime of Starkweather was in
the city Tuesday evening at which
time he took No. 30 for Grand Forks
where he goes to enlist, This young
man is made of genuine american
material" and should be commended
for his patriotism. Last spring he
registered on registration day. At
that time he was working on his aunt's
farm and having put in the crop it de-
volved upon him to see that it was
taken care of ard that the livestock
on the farm was given the necessary
care. In view Of these conditions he
was given his e> emption, it appearing
that he was actively engaged in ag-
ricultural work. Now that the crop
is off he offers his services to his gov
ernment. He had as companion a
young Canadian who as yet has not
obtained his final papers in this coun-
try. However, 10th the boys want to
stay in the same branch of the SER
vice, and while they prefer the navy,
they will try and get into either the
Coast Artilley, Quartermasters Corps,
or the Engineering department, as
they have been advised that unless one
is full fledged citizen he will not be
accepted in the navy.

Saturday evening, Dec. 1, there was
a Red Cross party given at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Lars Tollifson, who
are prosperous farmers living near
Ramsey, in Norway township. Those
present consisted practically of Amer
leans of Norwegian origin. There
was nice program and a supper and
a most pleasant time was enjoyed by
all. The proceeds of the evening was
$50, and the same has been forwarded
to the Red Cross organization. There
are nor more loyal Americans in this
country than the citizens Of Norway
township, and while they are practi-
cally all Of Norwegian ancestry, they
ally to the support of Uncle Samuel,
whenever an opportunity presents
itself.

No loyal citizen begrudges one cent
of the taxes he ays to help make this
war a success. Few people will COM
plain at reasonable degree of waste,
for there must be more or less waste
in a larger undertaking like this. But
there are numerous governmental ac-
tivities only incidental to the war and
which are costing the government
large sums of money. We should
know what these are costing ana
weather the expenditures are neces-
sary and wisely made. We are en-
titled to know how much it cost to
float the loans and how the money
was spent. We are entitled to know
who are holding the fat jobs, as as
sistant paymasters, for instance.

FREE 2.YEARS,
AGAIN IN TOLLS

Malcom Mathewson, who on Dec. II,
1915, was sentenced to serve three
years in the penitentiary for refusing
to support his wife and famoly, with
out cause, has again been taken into
custody.
1t seems that he plead guilty to that
charge before Judge Cooley who was
sitting in place of Judge Buttz at that
time, but that sentence was suspended
on condition that he pay $50 per
month each and every ninth for the
support of the wife and children. To
this he agreed, but soon broke parole,
going to Stanley, where he has been
running boarding and rooming
house. In the three years that has
since elapsed tn, local sheriff's offices
has not ceased in their search for this
man.
Last spring he Was arrested at STAN
ley for pigging for which offense he
was tried and convicted and sentenced
to four months in the county Jail from
which place he escaped soon after
commitment by saving his way out.
Last Friday Sheriff Olsen was given
a description of a party that had hired
an auto from certain garage man,
and after the party had left with the
auto, the garage man became suspic-
ious and wanted his auto located. The
description seemed to fit Mathewson
and after looking aroung he finally To-
Gated his man at local hotel. AS
soon as he got to talk with him he
found that it was the party who had
broken his parole here and broken Jail
at Stanley. He was Immediately re-
arrested and the sheriff at Stanley no.
titled, who came and got him the fol-
lowing evening.

NEW RULES
FOR S[ACKERS
INSTEAD OF SENDING THEM TO
JAIL THEY WILL GO TO WAR
ZONE.
ANNOUNCES NEW RULES
SLACKERS UNDER SUSPENDED
SENTENCE WILL BE DEALT
WITH SAME WAY.

Washington, Dec. 44.-Under new
draft rules and regulations effective
Dec. Is, men convicted of failing to
register on June 5 will be dealt with
more harshly than under the old sys-
tenn. Provost Marshal General Crow
der announced last night that such
men, instead of being given Jail sem
tences, as has been done in many
cases heretofore, will be so listed by
local boards as to ensure their call
with the first increment summoned af-
after the new rules are put in force.
Local boards are directed not to
send the registration cards of the con-
victed men to th- state adjutant gen.
eral for serial number assignments,
but to place them at the top of the
first class liable for call. Thus the
men, it was pointed out, will forfeit
all chances to the master list of rota-
tion, except in cases where physical
conditions or the terms of the law re-
quire exemption for the deferred clas-
sification.
Men now under suspended sentence
for failing to register will also be list
ed at the top of the first class, it was
announced.
