M'C.ARR0LL MUST
FIGHT To KEEP
SEAT On BOARD
Both Factions in Senate and
Many Others Opposed to
Confirmation.

Little Rock, Jan. S.-An organized
fight on the confirmation of q. M.
McCarroll, appointed by Governor
Hays to be a member of the board
of control of state charitable institu-
tons, will be made in the senate.
Leaders of both factions in the SEN
ate are opposed to Mr.. McCarroll,
whose confirmation is also protested
by residents of Walnut Ridge, where
McCarroll was born and where he
resided until few years ago. when
he removed to Blytheville. Employees
of the convict farm, where Mr. Nc
Carroll was employed when appoint
ed by the governor to the vacancy on
the board caused by the resignation
of O. G. Burnsides, also have an
nounced they will oppose his con-
firmation.
1t is generally believed that Mr..
McCarroll was appointed on the
hnard in order to have Dermott
physician named superintendent OF
the Arkansas Hospital for the Treat
ment of Nervous Diseases. When DR..
Heyman, an expert alienist Of New
York, was selected for the place, Mr..
McCarroll made a public statement
declaring that to go outside the state
for man was a reflection upon the
medical profession in Arkansas. Mr..
McCarroll's attitude in this matter is
believed to be one of the reasons that
prompted DR.. Heyman to decline the
position because the institution was
too deeply controlled by politicians.

be acted upon by the house and SEN
ate in joint session is that of judge
