ARKANSAS
( 4 STATE NEWS

The Executive Committee of the
Farmers Union of Arkansas has taken
action which insures the location OF
the central Office, which will soon be
opened, at Little Rock. After consid-
ering the matter for two days, the
committee accepted a proposition sub
mitted by the ST. Louis Compress
Company providing for the storage of
the cotton which the members of the
Farmers Union are not able to care
for in their local warehouses. The
greater part of this surplus cotton will
be stored in the Company's warehouses
in Little Rock, but a part of it will
be taken care of in the company's
warehouses which are scattered
throughout the state.
The committee postponed the selec
ton Of state agent, and it was de-
cided that another meeting should
be held to take up this matter. The
committee proposes to place practi-
cal business and cotton man at the
head of it's affairs and will act slowly
so that it may secure the best man
available. The state agent will main
tain an office at Little Rock and will
act as the agent of all the members
of the union in dealing with the spin
ners and their agents. 1t is expected
that by selling the cotton in large
quantities direct to the spinners the
growers will be able to secure better
prices.
The various local unions throughout
the state now have planned or in
course of erection fifty seven ware
houses. 1t is expected that all of
these will be completed in time to
take care of part of this years crop.
With the additional storage facilities
provided by the warehouses of the
st. Louis Compress Company, it is be-
lieved that the union can store 200,-
900 bales this year. The Arkansas
union is behind those of other states
in its warehouse facilities, but rapid
progress has been made since the last
meeting of the state union, and it
is believed that in another year Ar
kansas will be as well equipped as
other states

The Reason OF 1t,

The reason the demand is now SO
heavy for steam coal, said E. G.
Hickey of the Arkansas Valley Coal
Company at Fort Smith recently, is
the playing out of the oil in Texas.
Over 100000 barrels of oil is being
used each month more than the pro
duction. At this rate it will not take
long tc get rid of the 10000, 000-barrel
surplus that was stored on the fr3''
of the year. Oil has already gone un
to 81 per barrel, and as it takes four
barrels of oil to do the work of on9
ton of Arkansas slack, the oil cannot
compete with coal We are even

DO NOT WANT
STENSLAND.
Morocco Willingly Hands Over De-
fauIter of Chicago Bank -Edl-
tor and Attorney Get Him.

WASHINGTON. Sept. S.-A dispatch
has been received at the state depart
ment from Mr.. Gummere, American
minister to Morocco, conveying the IN
formation that Paul o. Stensland. the
president of the Milwaukee Avenue
State bank of Chicago, has been turn
co over to Managing Editor Keely OF
the Chicago Tribune and Assistant
State Attorney Olson of Illinois, who
ap%prehended the fugitive banker ut
Tangier. The presumption is that
Stensland will remain in confinement
at the American legation at Tangier
until arrangements have been perfect
ed for his removal to the United
States.
Messrs. Keely and Olson will be held
responsible henceforth for the safe
guarding of the prisoner. They will be
permitted 20 make their own arrange
ments for the return of Stensland. and
1t is said they have under cOnsidera-
ton Il merchant vessel, the name OF
which has not been divulged. The ma
val refrigerating ship Glacier. now en-
route from Manila, is the only govern
ment vessel that will be available for
many weeks, and she will not reach
Tangier for at least three weeks.
1t is announced at the state depart
ment that no action had been taken on
behalf of the receiver of the Mllwau-
kee Avenue State bank for the recov-
cry of the $4,000 which Stensland has
on deposit in the French bank at Tan
gier.
From the attitude of certain officials
at the state department it is believed
that dispatches have been received
which have made the Illinois authori-
ties very uneasy concerning Stensland's
future conduct. 1t is said that appar-
entity he suffers great remorSe, and
consequently the fear is entertained
that he may attempt suicide before he
reaches the scene of his de%falcation.
On the other hand, there is some fear
that Stenslaud's depression of spirit is
assumed and that he may have in con
temptation a possible method of es-
cape. 1t is understood here that since
his arrest he has not been left alone
for n moment ana that this watchful-
ness will be maintained through th2
entire iOrrnp- hor.o

MAYORS
ESCAPE YESTERDAY

HIGHTSTOWN, Sept. S.-By rare
presence of mind Mayor Norton saw
ed himself from perhaps fatal injur-
les yesterday in Freehold when he
leaped from his automobile to avoid
being struck by the IL O'Clock train
on the Pennsylvania railroad. The
automobile was completely demolish-
ed
Mayor Norton had gone to Free
hold on a business trip, and was trav-
cling at Il fair rate of speed when he
neared the railroad tracks. He saw
the train approaching when within
40 feet from the railroad. He
quickly tugged at the brake on his
machine, but it failed to work, and
the automobile continued with undi-
minished speed.
Seeing that a collision was inevi-
table, the mayor leaped just before
the crash occurred. The automobile
was carried up the tracks several
hundred feet, unfit for further use.
Part of the cowcatcher of the engine
vas wrecked. Mayor Norton escaped
without the slightest injury, and re-
turned to his home after the acct
dent.
The machine was of the large tour
ing car variety, and the impact be-
tween it and the engine when it
struck could be heard all over the
borough.

ARMISTIC DECLARED.
General MenocaI to Visit Pinar del
Rio on Peace Mission.

HAVANA. Sept. San official ar
mistice for ten days has been decided
upon by the government. The zones
in which the opposing forces must
remain will be determined upon dur
ing the course of the day. The
armistice will be conducted under the
regular war regulations.
The insurgent forces commanded by
Pine Guerra are moving nearer the
city of pinar del Rio. General Mcnocal,
it is stated. will probably visit Guerra
personally and confer with him regard
ing peace terms.
General Loynez CASTILLO has been Sc
riously wounded on the forehead by an
insurgent subaltern who struck him
with Il machete after the general had
struck the insurgent officer with the
fiat of his sword.
Advices received here from Cienfue-
Cos confirm the reports that fifty of
the government troops in the province
of Santa Clara have joined the insur-
gents in the vicinity of C~ienfuegos.
Two bridges on the Cuban Western
railway have been blown up by the
rebels.
A special from Pinar del Rio says
that all peace overtures are blocked by
the refusal of Pine Guerra, the inSuE-
gent leader in Pinar del Rio, to enter
into any arrangement for an armistice.
Guerra'S answer to the governments
announcement of its readiness to grant
a ten days armistice is the blowing up
of two bridges on the Western rail-
way, the cutting of railway communi-
cation beyond Pinar del Rio city and
an attack on San Juan de Martinez. 1t
is believed there that San Juan de Mar
tinez is in the hands of the insurgents
and that the garrison, consisting of 100
government recruits and a small force
of mounted rural guards, has been de-
feated or captured.

Illinois Democratic Leader Hits
Back at ". ]. Bryan Replies
TO Mebraskan'S Attacks.

NEW YORK, Sept. S.-Roger C. Sui
liyan, member from Illinois of the
Democratic national committee, has is
sued Il lengthy statement, in which he
replies TO the recent attacks made up
on him by Mr.. Bryan. The following
is an abstract of Mr.. S%ullivan's re-
marks:
In his Jefferson club banquet
speech at Chicago William j. Bryan
again saw fit to make me the excuse
for exploiting his new ambition to con-
vert the Democratic party of the Unit
ed States into an autocracy, with him
self on the dictator's throne. ! regret
that he has done SO as | would regret
any incident or circumstance tending
toward diseord in the Democratic par
ty.
IF portions of Mr.. Bryan's speech
mean anything they mean that he
would rather have his own way than
have Democrats electedsto ongre or
any other offices. He has invited all
Illinois Democrats who agree with him
in his opposition to me to bolt their
ticket. If there are any Democrats in
Illinois who are disposed to act on this
typically Bryanesque advice many of
them unfortunately will be found in
congressional districts which are close.
but in which with united effort we
have Il good chance to elect Democrat
ic congressman. If these districts send
Republicans TO the next national
house of representatives the Demo
cratic party of the nation will have
Mr.. Bryan to thank. AS n Democrat |
regret that Mr.. Bryan's rule or ruin
disposition has led him to make such
misuse of his influence.
But in so far as Mr.. Bryan's banquet
speech applies to me personally, to my
character. to my business, to my asso-
%ciates, to my Democracy and to my
political acts l welcome the issue, and
on that issue | challenge Mr.. Bryan to
the proof of his t~ruthfulness, his non
esty and his sincerity-that sincerity
which, he boasts, is his political asset.
| yield to no man in my adherence to
III aii1 ilJlCo ao anu bONh ~
the great founder, Thomas Jefferson.
Judged by that standard, l invite COM
parison of my Democracy with Mr..
Bryan's."
Continuing, Mr.. Sullivan scores Mr..
Bryan for the company he keeps
and attacks particularly the characters
of Theodore Nelson, Judge Owen Z.
Thompson, Willard Fillmore Dunlap
and Henry T. Rainey. These are the
men Endorsed by Mr.. Bryan in his
interview. Mr.. Sullivan describes
them as Mr.. Bryan's confidential agents
in the publication of Illinois politics
and asks, as Mr.. Bryan an exception
to the rule that a man is known by the
company he keepsT
Sullivan fsaidlthat Bryan in his Paris
had given Il certificate of
character to four men las purifiers of
Illinois politics. ."Of these four men,"
he said, zone escaped state prison by
pleading the statute of limitation, the
bought his nomination as judge
at $50 IL head for delegates. the third
is one ofcthe,''mileage steal represent
atives and the fourth Il plain everyday
CRATER"
On this point Sullivan says he is
worth more money than Bryan, and he
him for defamation of character.
