ROBBERS MAKE RICH
 HAUL AT HARTFORD
Registered Package Containing $13,0O0 in Currency Is
 Stolen From Mail

Hartford, Feb. 10.-A mail pouch containing a registered package of $13,000 in curren- cy was stolen at Hartford Fri day evening.
 A package containing S13,- 900 in currency was sent in re- gistered mail by a Fort Smith bank to the bank of Hartford to be used in paying the min CTS of the Central Coal and Coke Company Saturday, the miners payday. When the mail was delivered at the postoffice Friday night by the carrier, Ed Rush, there was no registered mail pouch. He stated none had been put off the train. An hour later the pouch was found 100 yards east of the depot, cut open and the contents miss ing. Whether there was other valuable mail besides the pay roll in the registered pouch is not known. The package was insured, and neither the coal company nor the banks will lose.
 Apparently someone fami- liar with the manner in which the payroll money is transmit ted committed the robbery. The train arrived at 6:15 Friday evening. There was the usual small town crowd at the sta- tion, but no strangers were noted. It is supposed the rob- Der was either on the train or had been a resident of Hart ford long enough to attract no attention.

CIGARETTE BILL
 PASSED BY SENATE
Another Bill Would Make it Felony if Person Burns
 His Own Property

By vGte of 23 to eight, the Arkansas Senate passed the Johnston cigarette bill, under which the sale of cigarettes would be licensed in the state and the proceeds of the license tax turned into the common school fund.
 Proponents of the measure, which is similar to the Collins bill which was defeated in the house two years ago after pas sage by the Senate, urge that cigarettes are being sold ev- cry where in spite of the pres ent law prohibiting such sale, and that the common school  fund might as we'll benefit from the trade. The present anti-cigarette law would be repealed by the proposed law, which now goes to the house. It contains a section placing a penalty of from S100 to $500 on sales to persons under Is years of age.
 President Ponder's measure appropriating $100,000 for vC- cational training in the schools of the state, to meet a like ap- propriation from the federal government under the Smith Hughes Act, passed the senate yesterday by unanimous vote, after Senator Ponder had made a personal appeal from the floor for it's passage. The ap- propriation would be provided for by a levy of onetenth of a mill, and none of the fund ere ated would be taken out of the common school fund, it was explained. The measure was

 Among the bills passed by the senate yesterday were the Emory bill taxing clairvoyants $100 per year; and Represen- tative Carson's House bill No. 60 permitting soldiers and sailors to vote while in the ser vice. The latter bill now a waits the signature of the gov ernor to become a law.
