40. U. v. Lodge Asks For
 Special Session Legislature

The following resolutions were un- animously passed and adopted by Newport Lodge, No. 75 of the Ancient Order of United Workmen at regu- lar session held in it's hall Thursday night, February 14th, 1918, urging Governor Brough to convene an extra ordinary session of the Arkansas leg islature for the purpose of enacting into law such measures as will for ever prevent intoxicating beverages from being introduced into Arkansas. Whereas, The Grand Lodge of the A. O. U. w., jurisdiction of Arkansas, has gone on record, at regular ses- sions. condemning the liquor traffic; and,
 Whereas, The experience of every fraternal, beneficial Order shows that the traffic in intoxicating li- quors flinders and retards it's prop CT growth and increases it's expense; and,
 "Whereas, Our own order stands for all that is best and good for the whole State of Arkansas; and,
 Whereas, We have seen the actual workings of a Law which was sup posed to be a Bone Dry Law, until February 4th, 1918, when the supreme court of Arkansas discovered an inn perfection in it, by means of which imperfection, it is now no offense to introduce intoxicants into the State; and,
 Whereas, We know that genuine Bone Dry Law is not only good for our Order but also for all of our citi- zens in general and we know of the good effects of such law and of the bad effects of contrary policy; and,
 Whereas, The General Assembly will not regularly convene until next year, during which time the ravages of the liquor traffic upon the means, welfare and energies of our state and it's citizens is far too great to be measured in money values; and,
 Whereas, A plain and direct rcine- dy is provided in such cases by the constitution of 7. Arkansas providing that the governor may convene the General Assembly in Special Session
Newport daily independent., 1918-02-22

on extraordinary occasions; and
 Whereas, Our state is now un- occasionally confronted with such an extra ordinary occasion and emer- gencyis is great and will become great CT the longer we are left open to this traffic, which was supposed to have been prevented by an Act of the Gen. eral Assembly at it's 1917 session.
 Now, Therefore, to meet this emergency, to properly protect our state and for the Good of our Or der," Be It Resolved: That the Gov ernor of Arkansas, Hon. c. H. Brough, be and he is hereby called upon, respectfully, to convene the General Assembly of Arkansas, in extra ordinary session at an early date for the purpose of enacting such laws as will remedy speedily this great and crying evil; s.rd,
 Be It Further Resolved: That a copy of these resolutions be mailed to the governor, properly signed by the Master Workman and Recorder and under the seal of this Lodge" We the undersigned, Master Work man and Recorder of Newport Lodge Mo-. 75, A. o. U. w., do hereby certi- fy that the above and foregoing is a true copy of the resolutions passed by said Lodge at regular meeting held February 14th, 1918, calling up- on Governor Brough to call the Leg islature of Arkansas in Special Ses- sion to enact a genuine Bone Dry Law, as passed by said Lodge.

 London, Feb. 22.-The Reuters Pe- trograd correspondent to the Tele- graph says the Russian commissions CTS have ordered defense to death against Germany The commissions CTS appealed to the soldiers to de- stroy railways. and provisions and they will compel Bourgeoise to dig trenches under a penalty of death.
 Bolsheviki leaders are changing their tactics again and have ordered that opposition be given the German army now sweeping eastward into Russia. All Russians have been suln-l moned to the defense of their country. Petrograd is in a state of siege. The German navy is infesting Reval, an important seaport, while the army ig pushing its campaign swiftly on q long front and has captured more than thirteen hundred guns and nine thousand prisoners. The fact that the name of Foreign Minister Trotz-S ky is missing from the proclamation, ordering resistance of Germans. gives weight to reports that he is to req sign.

BROUCH MAY GALL
 SPECIAL SESSION
Governor Is Being Overwhelmed With Petitions For Legislation To
 Remedy Prohibition Law.
Special to Independent.

opCNldi CO 4buCPCiidChI.
 Little Rock, Feb. 22-There is a possibility of the legislature being called in extraordinary session to consider amendments to the Bone Dry Prohibition Act.
 The governor is being overwhelm- ed with letters from all parts of the state, from members of the legisla- ture, ministers, and others, advising the calling of the General Assembly to remedy the law that was pune tured by the supreme court.
 The letters and resolutions are coming by the hundred daily, and more than a thousand have already been received.
 Before this matter came up, Gov ernor Brough had definitely deter mined that he would not call a ses- sion of the legislature, but this in sistent demand, with not one letter of protest, has put different phase uUOu ClIC QQCOkiOil, CtIO llO W AiO ilctc Sth open mind on the subject.
 His attitude is best described by the following answer to letter ad- dressed him by the mayor of North Arkansas city:
 q am in receipt of your letter of recent date, and am always glad to C, fr.o Ir tt,v.n11nhnIIf fhn state on matters of this character. I realize, of course, that this is one of the most important matters that has ever confronted the state. 1 have been lifelong Prohibitionist, and am anxious to take all the steps nee: essary to effectuate Bone Dry legisla- tion. As you doubtless noticed, the attorney general has filed motion for a re-hearing in the Bone Dry case, and has written very strong brief in support of the same. l will not make up my mind definitely as to what action I shall take with refer ence to the extra session until after CnlS case mas DeeH lludiy uioPooou VI in the supreme court. I appreciate your writing to me, however, and am placing your letter in convenient file, and shall consider very carefully all that you have said when the time arrives for me to decide finally what course shall pursue in the matter.
 It has been suggested by some that the members of the legislature would be glad to serve the few days neces- sary for holding the special session, for only their mileage, and would waive the per diem. Representative J. D. Doyle and enator Harry Pom der, of Lawrence county, have assur- ed the governor they would serve without pay.
