Artist Cnticises Navy.

These statements from Admiral
Brownson ana the Secretary were
evoked through the criticism OF Henry
Reuterdahl. a marine artist, wno In a
current magazine attacked the navy Of
the United States, and designated il as
inferior In system throughout. The
navy officials said today that they well
come honest criticism OF this kind. but
that IN this instance conditions which
applied TO the navy Of ten years ago
had been criticised as existing today.
when such was not the case. Ten years
ago IL was explained, the criticism
would have been IN order, but cOnsid-
erable Improvement had been made in
the meantime. Secretary MetCalf said
that each succeediTg z batueship built
was better than the one preceding it.
and that every effort was being made 70
raise the stand Of the navy.

At DEPOT
BITTERLY OPPOSED
BEFORE THE BOARD

That there IS a decided sentiment
against The sale of liquors In the new
Union Station was evidenced by the
presence Of the pastors of prominent
churches Of the city, officials Of the Anti
Saloon League. and a number Of pro-
testing residents and property owners
at the hearing on the application of a
transfer Of a retail liquor license from
the Sixth street depot to the new term
inaI before the Excise Board today.
The application IS made by the Wash
ington Terminal Company through It's

ment that they represented no particular

Gently that he had become aware Of

station. "Our new station he said. is
regarded with pride by every citizen of
the District, and II one of the most
magnificent buildings OF its kind in the
world. Now that II is completed and
thrown open 1t is proposed TO make Of II
a magnificent saloon.

sity. and it is only desired by the

Exhibits For State Fair

The agricultural department has
shipped to Hot Springs ten large
boxes of exhibits for the Arkansas
State fair. The displays included
specimens of the various fruits, grains
and hardwoods produced in the state,
all of which were selected with great
care. Large blocks Of stone, marble,
and granite were also shipped to Hot
Springs. Among the marble blocks
were specimens from about ten coun-
ties, the most attractive of which
come from the inexhaustible beds of
Independence, lizard and Searcy coun-
ties. They include the st. Clair mar
Bile of independence county, the st.
Joe marble of Searcy county and the
chocolate-tinted and black marbles Of
Searcy and Newton counties. The
granite blocks sent to Hot Springs
came from the Fourche mountain
quarries and are known as pulaskite,
taking their name from the county in
which the quarries are located. The
specimens consist of both red and
gray granite, one side Of each block be-
ing highly polished. The marble cubes
were treated in the same manner. J.
F. Whitlock, mineralogist in the agri-
cultural department, accompanies the
exhibit to Hot Springs and will remain
with it during the time it is on dis
play at the fair. He will be in charge
Of the exhibits, and his familiarity
with the resources of Arkansas will
enable him to furnish visitors all the
information they desire concerning
them.

ANNOYED BY Wolves.

A pack OF wolves that have been
infesting the country about four miles
northwest of Prairie Grove for several
months, have been causing a great deal
of trouble on account of their raven
Gus appetite for chicken, and the farm
ers of that section are up in arms
against the intruders. They have
chased the wolves with dogs and gun,
but so far only two or three have been
killed. There is said to be eight or
ten wolves in the gang, and they are
very bold in their quest for chicken
meat. 1t is not uncommon to see them
during the daytime close to the farm
houses chasing the fowls. Where the
wolves came from is unknown, but
1t is supposed few of them migrated
from the hills of the Indian Territory
last winter and have raised their
young here.

Blind School Opens.

Prof. T. A. Futrall, superintendent
of the Arkansas School for the Blind,
is still holding the fort at that insti-
tuition. He stated that he would con-
tinue to do so in accordance with the
orders of the State Board of Chart
table Commissioners. S. D. Lucas of
Magnolia, who was elected superin-
tendent of the school three months
ago, and who was virtually deposed
on Monday at a meeting of four mem
bers, constituting a majority of the
charity board, has consulted prom
inent attorney with the view of as
certaining what legal steps might be
taken to recind the action taken by
the four members in instructing Prof.
Futrall to remain as superintendent, on
the assurance of his reelection at the
next regular meeting, but no arrange
ments were made to take the matter
to the courts. The School for the
Blind was formally opened at 9 o'clock
Wednesday morning. A number of
pupils from different portions of the
state arrived the night before and
there are now in the institution about
100 pupils. Before the close of the
week it is expected there will be not
less than $50 in attendance.

Seeking More Room.

A stock company has been organized
at Helena with an authorized capital
stock of $250,000, for the purpose
of building practically another town
to be known as West Helena. and
connected with Helena, by an inter
urban electric line. For this purpose
an option has been secured by the
company on 1900 acres of land one
mile and a half west of the city,
which will be improved by the
grading of streets, putting down
sidewalks, and the erection OF
light, water and power plants,
and the construction of an adequate
sewer system. This movement was
made necessary by the present lack
of accommodations for those who
come to Helena to make their homes.
Helena is so situated physically that
further expansion is practically i'm
possible and the need of more houses
for homeseekers is becoming more
apparent every day.

Assaulted at Hot Springs.

er, was dragged from street car,
at Hot Springs by three men, in front
of the Arlington hotel, and shamefully

upon while down, receiving many bru-
tai kicks in the head. Several teeth

that he sustained internal injuries.
Two men are under arrest, charged
with assault and battery. One is a
member of the City Fire Department,
John Akin Jr., and the other is Will
Howard, motorman. A third man,
Button Akin, is also said to be impli-
Gated. The original cause Of the trou-
bit is said to be feud of long stand
ing between John Akin and Marriott.

No Site Yet For Fountain.

Lewis NJ. Seaver, representing the
National Humane Alliance, which
proposes to donate a $1,000 granite
fountain for the use of man and beast,
if a suitable site be selected for it.
has a proposition to place it in Hot
Springs. Word has been received at
the city hall that the ladies of Hot
Springs had promised Mr.. Seaver that
if he would give the fountain to that
city they believed they could secure
a place for it in front of the Airing
ton hotel. When Mr.. Seaver was in
Little Rock he desired that the foun-
tain should be placed on East Fifth
street, between Main and Scott, but
the commissioners of the East Fifth
street paving district objected to its
being located there on the ground
that it would be injurious to the as
phalt pavement at the point at which
1t might be placed. Mayor Lemon
offered Mr.. Seaver his choice of a
site at Sixth and Center streets, Sec
ond, Fourth and Seventh, on Broad
way, or Second and Rock. Neither
one of these sites was acceptable to
Mr.. Seaver. He then suggested to
Mayor Lemon that the city might have
the fountain if it were given a place
on Main street, near the free bridge.
This proposition, of course, was de-
clined by the mayor. Mr.. Seaver has
promised Mr. Lemon that he will visit
Little Rock again in few days, and,
if possible, will give this city the
preference of being the custodian OF
the fount. 1t is not believed that the
owners of the Arlington hotel at Hot
Springs will consent to having the
fountain located in front of that
house, and if not it yet may find a
home in Little Rock.
