THE POLL TAX AMENDMENT.
Election Officers. Will Have q knotty
Problem Confronting Them.
(Gazette.t

(Gazette)
Considerable discussion has
been caused as to what effect the
recent decisions of the Supreme
Court upon the amendments to
the state constitution will have
upon the use of poll tax receipts
in the state and federal elections
to be held this fall.
Under the rulings of the Su.
preme Court the pol tax amend
ment must be declared invalid,
as it failed to receive a majority
of the highest number of votes
cast for any of the five constitu-
tional state officers at the election
at which it was submitted. The
amendment is still in force, how
ever, and will continue in effect
until declared invalid by the Su-
preme Court. 1t is not likely that
any suit can or will be brought
to test the validity of this amend
ment until after the fall elections,
and the officers in charge of these
elections will be placed in4 a pc
culiar position. Even though
the amendment may be known to
have been defeated under the
rule adopted by the Supreme
Court, it will still be technically
effective, and election officers, if
they abide by it, will require all
voters to produce poll tax re-
ceipts before they are allowed
to cast their ballots.
1t has been suggested, however,
that by doing this the election
officers may lay themselves liable
to suits for damages, inasmuch
as it is generally known that the
poll tax amendment was not lie.
gally adopted. This question
has been called to the attention
of lawyers in this city, but none
OF them have been willing to pre-.
dict what the result will be. -.

"Baby did cry" was the ex.
cuse given by Vance Alexander

for almost killing the 4-week- old
baby of Mrs. William Alexander

had stepped over to a neighbours

fastened the door leading in to
where the baby was on the bed.
When she returned she found
the two-year- -olds with the baby

THE OPENING GUNS.
State Campaign Opened Before Large
Crowd at Greenwood.

/ Greenwood, July 14.-Fully
5000 people attended the Farm
ers' Union picnic here today and
heard speeches by Governor JEFF
Davis, Rev. j. G. Adams of Mena,
who is the Prohibition nominee
for governor, and Dan Hogan ol
Huntington, the Socialist nominee
for governor. Governor Davis
reply to Rev. Mr.. Adams was the
chief feature of interest.
Congressman John S. Little
Democratic nominee for governor,
was detained at Hot Springs by
the illness of his wife.
While the speeches were mainly
OF a political nature, there
was slight injection of politics
which, however, appeared to be
enjoyed thoroughly by the large
audience. Mr.. Adams, the Pro-
hibition nominee for governor,
was one of the forenoon speakers
and his remarks on temperance
were we'll received. He scored
the two big parties.
Governor Davis had one OF the
largest audiences before him ever
seen in western Arkansas when
he spoke this afternoon. His ad-
dress was principally to the farm
ers and he emphasized and urged
the exercise of their power to fix
the prices for the products OF
their labor. He advised the tillers
of the soil to elect their friends to
office, as he said they were strong
enough to do. Governor Davis
paid his respects to the Prohibi-
ton candidate for governor, Rev.
Mr.. Adams, who had come to
Arkansas from Texas two years
ago and had dipped into politics
in Arkansas, the governor said,
before he could name the counties
in the state. Governor Davis
said that Arkansas has an Ark
ansas candidate for governor
who does things and whose record
on the temperance question was
a record of deeds, not words.
The governors speech was en-
Enthusiastically received. This is
the home of Judge Little, DEM
ocracy's candidate for governor,
and the favorable references to
him by Governor Davis brought
much applause.

ARRESTED FOR BAD CHECK
Charles Hogg Admits Getting $50
From Victim Under False
Pretenses.

Charles HOgg, a small man and a
smooth CRATER was arrested by officer
c. A. Sperry yesterday morning while in
the act of boarding a Short Line train
for Ogden. Mr.. Hogg arrived in Salt
Lake Wednesday,. Representing himself
to be a mOneyed CoIoradoan. he claimed
to be DESTROYS of buying several pieces
of real estate in this city. He exhibited
a letter supposed to have been written
by an Episcopal bishop in Denver. This
was to introduce HOgg to the bishop of
Salt Lake.
Upon learning that the bishop was out
of town, Hogg called upon J. II. Franken
of the Druehl & Franken company.
Through Mr.. Franken HOgg secured an in
PRODUCTION TO Walter futile, who showed
him around town. Hogg selected several
pieces of land and asked Mr.. futile if
he could cash a check for $50. Mr.. Tut
tie could and did. The check was drawn
upon the First National bank in Las
Vegas and was to all appearances genu-
inc.
Mr.. futile became suspicious yesterday.
Learning that HOgg had purchased
railroad ticket for ogden he notified the
police, who captured him at the depot.
When the police found a check printing
outfit on Hogg, that individual confessed
that the check cashed by Mr.. futile was
bogus He Is now confined in the city
jail awaiting trial upon the charge of
obtaining money under false pretenses.

GERMANY KEEPS SECRET
Nothing Definite Know as to What
the Kaiser Wants Done Re-
garding Morocco.

London, Jan. $50 long as Ger
many confines her demands at the con-
ference TO opening Morocco to foreign
trade on an equal basis, there will be
no difference of opinion at Ageciras, -
said an official of the foreign office
TO the Associated Press today. There
IS some fear that the German dele
gates may insist on regulations clash
ing with what France considers her
special privileges; for instance, the
policing Of the frontier In fact, it is
said in trustworthy circles that Ger
many may introduce q claim to pIac-
ing German soldiers in Morocco This
France is certain to resist, and under
the agreement of the bill must uphold
her contention. Otherwise there is no
danger Of a disagreement, but 1t is i'm
possible to say what might happen. as
Germany is maintaining the strictest
secrecy regarding her intentions. The
appointment of Count Won Tatten-
bach-ArnoId, the former special repre-
sentative of Germany at Fee, as the
second delegate of Germany at the con-
ference, has perhaps weakened this
feeling of confidence, as he is under

in Morocco"
While the officials here decline TO
comment on the cabled announcement
that the United States stands uncom-
mitted on the question of policing the
Moroccan frontier, some disappoint-
ment is expressed in other circles be-
cause it had been expected that the
United States would endorse the posi-
ton Of France on this point.

Miners Not Working.

One cause assigned for the small sup
ply is that the miners are not working
in full force at this time OF year 1t is
customary among miners to start the
Christmas celebration on Christmas
day, and TO continue it over New Year S
day into the new year for several days;
and, in both the Utah and Wyoming
coal fields, it is claimed, this custom
has been followed religiOusly this year.
The result is that all the mines are
working short shifts, and the prOduc-
ton is not anywhere near UP to the
demand. More and more miners are re-
turning to work every day; but even
with full forces it is doubtful if the
mines VIII be able to meet the Salt
Lake demand fully for several weeks.
In fact, according to the present out
look, the supply Of coal will be short
all winter, for reasons hitherto ex-
planned in The Herald.

OF numerous mysterious deaths Four
deaths have occurred at least in or near
the ravine- A party of children found
the decayed remains of a man in this
ravine about fifteen years ago. An empty

proved this man a suicide.
