Little Rock, Nov. 22.-(Speclal.)- Once every four years, just before
 the meeting of the State Republican committee, and just before the meeting of the National Republican commit tee, Powell Clayton, as far back as can be traced by the memory of the
 proverbial oldest inhabitant, has made a visit to Arkansas, making for some days Little Rock his headquar- ters. Dinner parties, of from four to twenty prominent Republicans of the state followed. At the dinner parties took place love feasts, old sores were
 healed and the dissensions in the Grand Old Party eliminated. This is that time and the Republican leader of the state is again among us. He is following the same lines he laid down
 in his politicial Year l. The dinner
 parties are scheduled to follow and there is to be the same sprinkling of Republican leaders from the different sections of the state dropping in ev-
 cry few days from now until the meeting of the State Republican con- mittee next Monday, when several
 minor postoffice jobs will be handed about after being freely fought over. These politicians will be entertained by Uncle Powell and drawn out on the political opinion of the state, and Uncle Powell will report this when
 he gets back to Washington-if Uncle Powell feels like it. He will report when he has been reported to by the national leaders, as he has always done before. Uncle Powell is here again and this time to see if the Re publicans will support Taft. He does not lean to the man of avoirdupois from Ohio in the least himself. but if the people of Arkansas think he is strong enough to take the G. o. P.

SCHOOL BOY |S
 KILLED bY CAR  Raymond Tims, g Year Old Pupil of First Ward school, Ran in Front of Moving Gar
WITNESSED BY MANY
School Children Had Just Been Dis missed For the Noon Hour Ni.ep Horrible Acciden. Dccurred-No Inquest Neces>ar. says Coroner.

While many of his schoolmates and companions looked on, Raymond Tins years old, a pupil of the First Ward. school, was run down and instantN killed by street car directly in front Of the school building -sAerrrE after the naa4-44r1uT- today. The front whaa1s of the car passed over the boys stom- ach, almost completely cutting th- body in two.
 The accident occasioued ID Htie excitement around the school bula- ing and in the immediate neighbo hood, the pupils having just q few mo ments before been dismissed for the noon hour. There are conflicting ra. ports regarding the accident bH- many eye witnesses say that the lad fearlessly ran across the track. ti rectly in front of the moving car, aa4 reached midway between the track; when he was knocked down and run oyer. The moto"man stopped the ca instantly and young Tins DolI WAS pulled from beneath the car tie e5s. Undertaken H. l. Holderness removed fhe body to his undertaking rar?ors on West Second avenue immediatsiy after the accident and Corone.' Me Gaughy stated that in all prao.2.'>y there would be no inquest ss there were no witnesses who charged crim- inal negligence of the motorman, prac- tically all of them stating that the ac- cident was wholly unavoidable.
 Young Tims left the school with some other companions to go to his noon meal. He lived at Eighth ave- nue and Pennsylvania street and on his way home had to pass over the car tracks. He and several other boys saw the car coming east and raE across the track in front of it. Young Tims was the only one of the number who did not get across before the car reached them.
 down at that point as the end of the line was only a short distance away and it is customary for the motormen to "slow down" there. The quick stop of the car, before the rear wheels passed over the body, is proof that the car was not being operated at any unusual speed.
 The car was No. 42 and was ill charge of Motorman J. V. Kinman and Conductor F. M. Mullen. They de- clare that the accident could not hav- beer avoided They have repeatedly warned boys, they say, of their care lessness in running across the tracks in front of cars in that part of the city and especially those who maKe practice of iumping off and on nov ing street cars.
 The 'Tims family consists or father and mother and several children, Ray mond Tins being one of the smallest children. They only recently moved lo this city from Camden.

The State of Arkansas has just won a suit against the Rock Island for the vio- lation of this state law, but the case has gone to the supreme court, and the trainmen think if the Commission gets after the railroads and orders more suits, the railroads will finally give in and put on the muchly needed third man.

BRYAN CAN BE ELECTED,
DECLARES FORMER PARTNER

A. r. Talbot, head counsel of the Mod
ern Woodmen of the World and former
law partner of William Jennings Bryan,
who yesterday conducted the ceremony
of initiating 500 candidates into the or
der, was last night shown the statement
of Mr.. Bryan announcing his candidacy.
THE sentiment in favor of Mr.. Bryan
throughout the country, said Mr.. Tai
bot, lis spreading. Should he again be
nominated for the presidency there is
no doubt, in my mind, that he would
be elected. l wish every citizen in the
country could know Mr.. Bryan as init
.mately as 1 do. He has a most lovable
nature and his highest ideal is for the
betterment of the country.
Mr.. Bryan is perfectly satisfied with
his present position. He feels he has
been greatly honored by his countrymen,
and it is only his great desire to carry
out the ideas which he believes to be
right that would induce him to again
become candidate
II have Travelled throughout the coun-
try during the past few months and find
the Bryan sentiment growing, while that
in favor of Roosevelt is on the wane.
''The logical candidate among the Re-
publicans is Taft. / hear no other name
mentioned by Republicans in the east
and other parts of the country
When asked regarding the present
financial stringency Mr.. Talbot said he
believed it would end in short time.
1.-THE present conditions in the financial
situation" he said, ''are the result OF
speculation and manipulation In Wall
street. They must end soon, feel as
sured, but their effects will be felt for
some time to come. When the present
rule regarding the withdrawal of de-
posits is abandoned l fear very much

es the Republican party has done, in or

Republicans have rewarded them. The
democratic campaign must be carried on
by volunteers who viii. work because they
uesire the triumph of Democratic ideas.
We cannot hope to appeal to the sordid
or to buy the purchaseable, even If such
d course would contribute toward Demo-
cratic success. None should favor my
nomination unless the party is willing to
open its books and show where it's con-
tributions come from, and for what the
money is expended
1.-The Republican party ought to be
challenged to conduct it's campaign in
the open and honest way, and If the Re-
publican leaders refuse to accept the
challenge the Democrats can we'll afford
to leave the issue with the public. It
My remains for the Democratic party to
convince the voters that 1t can be en-
trusted with the work of reform and
nothing will do more to convince the pub

atory wealth, and an honest appeal by
honest methods to the honest sentiment

The religious service, conducted by the
Metropolitan Antonius and a large num-
ter of bishops and other high eccesias-
ties, was made the occasion for a great
display of patriotic enthusiasm on the

The city is perfectly quiet. A few hun

A score of mounted police on the quays
and in the principal throughfares was
more than sufficient to preserve order.

the Social Democrats, who remained in
the committee room during the reading
ol the emperor's greetings and entered
the main hall only when 1t was neces-
sary to sign the oath.
Members Quiet
The constitutional members showed no
marked enthusiasm in singing the ma
cheering, but otherwise they participated

| attended by an imposing suite of ecclesi-
sstics clothed in gold. among them being
the archbishop of ST. Petersburg and
eight mitred bishops, filed into Catherine

At the close of the prayer, In response
to a general call, the national hymn was
repeatedly sung, amid cheers, while the
deputies were entering the hall. Pre-
mier Stolypin approached the metropol-

pontifical kiss on tho cheek.
The ceremony of opening the political
meeting was simple. M. Golubeff, ac-

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-New York's fed
eral building, which contains the New
York postoffice, is described by Con-
gresham Richard Bartholdt of Missouri
as unsanitary and a disease breeder.
at is an outrage says Bartholdt,
"that people should have to work in a
building so utterly devoid of healthful
conditions"
Mr.. Bartholdt. Senator Nathan B. Scott
of West Virginia and George j.. Wood
of the postoffice department Washing
ton, constitute a commission appointed
by the last congress to investigate the
postal facilities of this city
The commission thinks that the present
state of the postoffice is such as to re-
auire the immediate action of congress.
1t appears TO the commission that the
quickest possible relief from the present
conditions would be to build two big
distributing stations, one near the site
of the new Pennsylvania terminal and
the other near the Grand Central station.
