BROWING COMMERCE OF ARKANSAS
Forty-three Railroads Chartered
and 77|Banks Opened in Ar
kansas in Last Two Years
Little Rock, Oct. 29.—That part
of the biennial report of the sec
retary of state which deals with
corporations, now being compiled
by E. L. McHaney, corporation
clerk, will show a remarkable
growth in Arkansas industries dur
ing the past two years. Although
the statistics have not been com
pleted enough has been done to
show that in the two years more
than 1,200 new corporations have
filed articles with the secretary of
state. The total capitalization of
these companies is in the neigh
borhood of $100,000,000. During
the two years there were but 73
companies which surre ndeve d
their charters, and in at least one
of these instances the charter was
surrendered that another might be
granted. The list includes hun
dreds of thousands of dollars that
have been brought to the state
during the past two years.
During the two years there were
seventy-seven new bank and trust
companies organized, with Arkan
sa" people as stockholders. These
seventy-seven bank and trust com
panies represent a capitalization
of $3,617,500. In most instances
these new hanks and trust com
panies have been in the smaller
cities of the -tate, showing that
the growth has been destributed,
instead of centered in .any one lo
cality. A study of the list of new
banks shows that practically ev
ery section of the state is repre
sented, indicating the general
growth and prosperity of all sec
tions of the state, because in prac
tically every ease the stock of
these new banks and trust com pan
ies is held by men in the town
or vicinity where the bank is lo
cated.
Another item in the report
shows the growth of the state and
the fact that foreigh capital is be
ing attracted to this state. Dur
ing the two tears forty-three new
railroads were incorporated for
the purpose, of building a total of
1,749 miles of new railroads. Al
though very few of the new cor
porations have completed the lines
contemplated, practically all of
them have done some work, and
in many instances the tenth of the
total road has been completed with
in the eighteen months required
by the corporation laws. In the
case of many of the smaller roads
the entire roadbed has been com
pleted. The records do not show
and there is nothing in the office
to show just how many miles of
this contemplated construction has
been completed.

THE STATE WINS ANTI-TRUST SUIT
Judgment For $10,000 Against
Packing Company For Fail
ure to Produce Witnesses
Little liock, Oct. 27.—Arkansas
wins the suits recently brought by
the attorney general against pack
ing companies for the alleged vi
olation of the anti-truss laws.
Because of the refusal of the
Hammond Packing Company to
produce witnesses and records be
fore Special Commissioner Lyle
D. Taylor in Chicago recently,
Judge Winfield, on motion of At
torney General Rogers yesterday,
ordered the answers of the com
pany stricken from the record and
judgment was entered against the
I company for $10,000. The attor
neys representing the pact
company moved for a new trm.i,
but this was denied, and the attor
1 ne.vs were given twenty days in
which to file their bill of exceptions
! and appeal to the supreme court.
Although the action is just what
was expected, it is the first point
in favor of the state in several
packing suits which were brought
some time ago by Prosecutor
Rhoton and Attorney General R.
L. Rogers. On the decision of
the Supreme court in this case de
pends to a great degree the final
action to be taken in the suits
against the other five packing com
panies. These five suits will re
main in their present state pend
ing the final decision of the su
preme court in this case. Shoulc
the supreme court hold the clause
requiring officers of a foreign cor
poration to testify before a specia
j commissioner in another state if
| constitutional, it will then be ar
easy matter for the attorneys rep
resenting the state to force any ol
the officials of these companies tc
(testify. If the supreme court
should decide this clause is not
(constitutional, then the aftornej
general and his assistans will have
to take another course in the pros
' edition of the live other packing
! suits.
The action of the Pulaski circuii
court yesterday is practically whal
had been agreed upon between tin
attorneys representing the stat<
: and the Hammond Packing Com
pany. The agreement was madf
in Chicago, that in ease Judge
Winfield agreed to strike out the
.answer of the packing company
that judgment should he renderec
