short speech, which was applauded to the
echo
The delegation of the Department of the
Potomac, Woman's Relief Corps. presented
Mrs. Oldroyd with an armload of American
beauty roses.
A reception will be given Mrs Oldroyd on
her return to Washington.
District Delegation Delighted.
The District delegation to the Grand
Army and Women's Relief Corps are jubi-
liant this afternoon over the election of their
respective candidates for national Offices
Mr.. John r. King. United States pension
agent at Washington. was elected senior
vice commander of the Grand Army and
Rev James H. Bradford of Washington was
elected to the honorable position or chap-
lain-in-chief.
The Department of Maryland claims a
large share of the honor of election of Mr.
from that state. Since his appointment as
United States pension agent by President
Roosevelt. Mr. King has resided in Wash
ington. The Departments of Maryland.
Iowa and the Potomac Endorsed Mr.. King
for commander-in-chief. but the object in
view from the first was his election to the
office in which he has been so successfully
placed.
- The Department of Potomac feels partic-
ularly gratified over the election of Rev.
Mr.. Bradford as chaplain-in-chief. His
name has been brought forward several
times by his friends in the District of Col
umbia and now they are rewarded by the
national encampment.
The election of Mrs. Lima A. Oldroyd of
Washington as junior vice president of the
Womans Relief Corps was another source
of intense qualification.
Her selection for national Office had
been foreshadowed in these dispatches
but when the slate of national officers
was broken last night by the election of a
comparatively dark horse candidate as
senior vice president Mrs. Oldroyd's
friends were frightened lest their plans
might also be upset by the convention.
Mrs Oldroyd won out handsomely, how
ever, when the ballotfng had ben con-
clude this morning. ROBT. E. SMALL

WHITE RIVER ROAD
 WILL BE COSTLY,

Little Rock, Jan. 5. The builder of the White River branch of the Iron Mountain is in Little Rock today. He is MT. J. H. Reynolds of St. Louis, one of the best-known railroad contractors in the country. He is accom- panied by Mir. c. c. Smith, his bridge contractor, T. Futile, his general manager, R. M. Full weller, his engineer, and Hons. z. M. Horton and J. c. South, his attorneys. They are here for the purpose of making depo- sitions in the suit of Piggott & Prebble, sub-contractors, against J. H. Reynolds and the Iron Mountain, for an amount alleged to be due on work done by the plaintiffs. About $25,00Q is the amount involved.
 This road is said to be one of the most expensive for it's length in the United States. Mir. Key holds has the contract for the construction of the line from Cotter to the state line, a dis tance of 180 miles. The cost of the line from Cotter to the state line has been about $52,000 per mile, and from Cotter down the river to Batesville, about $25, 900. There are five tunnels on the line from Cotter to Carthage, some of them quite long. The work is more expensive than the construction of Rocky Mountain roads, where the matter of grade and curves is not considered so much. On the White river road straight lines and low grades are blasted out irrespective of cost, and the result will be one of the best road beds in the United States.

The supreme court of Missouri in the case of Ed Butler held that the defendant could not have bribed the board of health to do what they could not legally have done in awarding the gar bage contract. Yet this same contract thus awarded by the St. Louis board of health is in effect today. Escaping the intent of the law by such feints called technicalities has much to do with the popular tendency to dis credit the courts as the dis pensers of justice.
