Among the resolutions adopted by the public school teachers of Yell county at their institute was one in favor of holding rallies in the school districts in favor of the proposed tax amendment to the constitution.
 This is good idea and one that might be carried out by those inter ested in other counties.
 The teachers of Conway county adopted the following resolution favorable to the same amendment:
 That we are profoundly grateful to Superintendent Hinemon for the magnificent campaign he is making in behalf of Amendment No. 8, and we pledge our support in securing it's adoption. ]"

Committee from Parliament so Decide
 Regarding Bialystok Massacre.
Report Says Russia Is Liable to Come Under Tutorship of some Be-
 ally Civilized Government.

St. Petersburg, June 23--At crowd ed meeting of the constitutional club Friday night Deputy St. Chepkin re- ported the findings of the committed of the lower house of parliament which went to Bialystok to investigate the facts in connection with the anti-Jew- ish outbreak there According to this report the police, with the aid of sub- ordinate officers of the police and .nil- itary. were directly responsible for the prCvocation of the outbreak by the circulation of false rumors against the Jews. The governor of Bialystok, while not directly responsible was said by M St. Chepkin to have been undoubtedly criminally guilty of pro longing the excesses by abandoning his post. The governor washed his hands of the affair not knowing the attitude of the officials at St. Petersburg and absented himself from the scene with out giving single order. That the government gave no order sancticning the excesses is not questioned; but the local police assumed that the Goremy- kin ministry. which had printed Black Hundred circulars, would not punish those wao participated in the outbreak. It is the two-faced attitude of the government M St Chepkin asserted, thtt was principally responsible. in concluding. the report says.
 The ministry must be changed and one must be chosen from the majority in parliament or otherwise Russia Will fall to the level of Persia and Turkey mo ultimately come under the tutor hip of really civilized government.
