PLAN TO HOUSE FAIR CROWD
Reports Indicate Big Attendance for
 Exhibition Opening Nov. II,

Little Rock, Oct. 21.-With reports from various sections of the state that large crowds will attend the Arkansas State Fair and Exposition here during the nine days from November II to 19, fair officials yesterday began planning with representatives of the Young Mems Bureau of the Board of Com merce for handling the housing prob lem A plan to reduce to the minimum any chance for inconvenience to the visitor will be worked out.
 The Young Mems Bureau will dis cuss the problem at meeting next Wednesday night and it is probable that a Bureau of Information for visitors will be established in advance of the opening of the fair on Arm istice Day through which persons hav- ing rooms for rent and persons de- string them can make reservations.
 J. B. Dickinson of the Cooper-Dick- inson Grocery Company said yester- day that on a recent trip to Carlisle and adjacent towns he asked every person he met if he was coming to the fair, and found only one who was not.
 Larger Premium List.
 Dr. J. H. Bux, superintendent of the Live Stock Department, said that the American Duroc-Jersey Swine Breeders Association has notified him that it will add 50 per cent in cash to the permium list for the Duroc-Jersey Department. This amounts to ap- proximately $175 and raises the total premium list of this department to more than $500.
 E, J. Bodman, chairman of the Agri- cultural Committee of the Arkansas Bankers Association, yesterday sent to fair headquarters copy of a let ter to all association members ask ing them to urge farmers and stock men of their communities to partici- pate in the fair.

SCHOOLS MAY CLOSE
Lack of Finances at TeXarkana, Ark ansas Side, Responsible.

Texarkana, Oct. 19.-It is consid- cred probable that the public schools on the Arkansas side of the city will be compelled within the next few days to close indefinitely for lack of funds.
 Early this month a campaign was inaugurated to raise enough money by voluntary action of the taxpayers to keep the schools going. The plan was for the taxpayers to voluntarily dou- ble the amount of their school tax as it stands on the books of the tax assessor, but after a complete canvass it was announced by the School Board today that only about 50 per cent of the taxpayers had signed. Many of the larger merchants and incorpo- rated concerns are said to be among those refusing to sign. At meeting of the School Board this afternoon a call was issued for mass meeting at the Miller county courthouse Mon- day night to consider the situation and devise, if possible, some way to prevent the threatened calamity of closing the schools. Members of the School Board declare the outlook very gloomy

Gov. Must 0 K Paroles Civ
 en at State Institutions

Little Rock, Oct. 19.-In an opin- ion rendered yesterday upon the re- quest of Mrs Margaret Ford, execu- tive secretary of the co1n1lission' of Charities and Corrections, Attorney General Utley holds that paroles from state institutions are probably invalid without the sanction of the governor He says:
 ''The commital of woman over the age of Is years seems to be an act of discretion on the part of the child court after conviction of the offend- CT. Where this discretion is exercis- ed. then the indeterminate sentence automatically follows with the pro- vision that commitment cannot exceed three years, except in cases where the maximum term specified by law was fixed by the trial court, in whick case the maximum term of penitenti- ary sentence is adopted as the maxi mum for commitment
 "One convicted of a felony by 6 criminal court and afterwards commit ted to the state Farm for Women does not change her legal status. Commit tai to the State Farm seems to be merely for humanitarian and reforna- tory purposes. I am therefore inclin- ed to believe that all that part of Act l No. 949 of 1919 which seeks to confer on the Board of Directors power to discharge is in conflict with that part of Section IS of Article of the state constitution, which confers upon the governor the power to grant decrees, communications of sentence and par dons after conviction.
 Ut is the opinion of this office thae the Board of Directors of the State Farm for Women has no power to re- lieve one of a sentence, imposed for felony, and committed to that in- stitution, but that this power under the constitution rests with the goveY- nor.
 "The law as to paroles in tfjs state has not been very thoroughly elarifi- ed by judicial interpretation, but I think it extremely questionable wheth- CT paroles are valid without the sanc- tion of the chief executive"

HALE DRILLING RIG
 IS BEING DISMANTLED
Rig is Being Removed by the Graham Drilling Co.,, Who Had Leased 1t
 to Roberts People.

A crew arrived ill this city Wednes- day night from the Graham Drilling Company of Vivian, La, and Thursday morning began dismantling the drlll- ing rig at the Hale we'll east of town preparatory to shipping it out. The Roberts Oil Corporation, who were drilling the we'll, had the rig leased from the Graham people at so much per month, It is understood that when operations at the well ceased several weeks ago the Roberts people were behind with the rent on the rig. The rig people, having other use for the rig have sent the crew here to move it.
 This will be a disappointment to many who had hoped to see the well completed and who had faith 1n the finding of oil and gas. The last work done at the well was the efforts made to bring in the gas, which was showing strongly. The packers failed to hold and the test could. not be made. MT Roberts left at that time to raise new capital with which to complete the test and the well. He was here last week and it was generally understood that he had thus far been unsucoess- full. Most of the crew had gone to other fields where they are now work ing. It is also understood that the Roberts company were in the arrears with them. It is not understood that the Roberts Corporation had abandon ed the we'll, but so far as is known here had intended to continue 1t Ii funds could be raised. MT. Roberts nor anyone interested in the company is in the city, and no announcement could be had from them with regard to the recent development.
