EDITOR SCORES
 FESTUS 0. BUTT
Says His Actions Were Beneath a Man and Infers Ingratitrde For Kind ness Shown -- Would Spare
 Butts Family.

Eureka Springs, July 12. The following version of the attack on Giles D. Miller by F. o. Butt was published in the Eureka Springs Times Echo, and gives Mir. Miller's side of the affair:
 This morning, while his back was turned, the editor of tne Times Echo was attacked by F. o. Butt. The latter struck two or three times, but the force of his blows were insufficient to do any bodily injury. By the time the editor realized that he was attacked, and had squared him self for defense, two or three by stauders suppressed Butt.
 Quite number of people gathered immediately, before the officers left with tue interested parties.
 "There is great deal that the editor feels he should say in re gard to this personality, who should feel grateful to nearly the whole city of Eureka Springs for their efforts in his behalf, but the editor is the head of happy family himself, and, after due consideration of the matter, has concluded that with this state ment, and the other items winch are already in type, we will await further developments before say ing anything more. If he shows the good judgment and regard tor his innocent family that he should have, he will right the wrongs he has committed in the past few days and hencefurth travel the ways of manhood. IL IS far from the desire of the editor to infilct on his family any more suffering than they have already had to bear Upon Butts return home little over week ago the editor went to his home and ex- tended what had ever been the hand of friendship. He sympa- thized both with Butt and his family. and hoped that their trou- bles were over. Our files of Fri day, Saturday aud today will show how Mir. Butt recipocated. lis actions were beneath our con ,eption of the man, and what we have said, we feel was justified y his acts. We have no apolo- sles to offer, other than W hat are lue the innocent mother and babes, who have already ha d to 'ear more than their portion, of bis worlds sorrows.

Admiral Yamamoto and Ambassa' dor Aoki Guests of President
 at Luncheon.
ITO OBJECTS TO THE PACIFIC CRUISE
Japanese Administration Paper De clares II is Difficult to Accept the Statement that the Coming Maneu yer Has Nothing to Do With ths Japanese American Situation.

Oyster Bay, July 13.-The highest official courtesy that could be ex tended Admiral Baron Yamamoto during his visit to the United States took place Friday whE President Roosevelt entertained the Japanese admiral as his guest of honor at a luncheon served at 1 o'clock at Saga more Hill. Viscount Aoki, the Jap t aese ambassador and personal repre- sentative of the emperor, shared in the cordiality extended to the Japa' Eese nation. as did Capt Moto Kondo, inspector of naval construction of the Japanese navy, and member oi Admiral Yamamotos suite. Assisting the president and Mrs. Roosevelt in the entertaining of the distinguished visitors were Assistant Secretary of State Bacon, Representative Herbert Parsons of New York. and Mir. and Mrs, E. D. Morgan, also of New York.
 The guests arrived at Oyster Bay shortly after noon and were conveyed at once to the Sagamore Hill home III the Roosevelt automobile.

Washington, July 13.-Now tat the visit of the battleships of the Atlantic fleet to the Pacific coast is officially admitted the gossip of the navy de- partment touches upon the docking facilities available for the accommo- dation of those vessels. The navy has but one dock on the Pacific coast that at Puget Sound, which is capable of receiving the large mtleships, the dock at Mare Island being too small other drydock under construction at MaIe Island, which, when completed, will be capable of receiving the larg- est os the vessels now in service or contracted for. But there is consid- erable difference of opinion among tl. naval officials here as towhether,, after all, this dock will be available in view of the limited depth of water across the bar over which the vessels have to go before reaching the navy yard. Some of the officers think that this can be done, and cite that the Grmored cruiser Charleston went over the bar recently drawing 24 feet of water, These officers say that a ship of this kind has deeper draft than the big battleships. which can be frightened to the extent of foot or more by unloading the greater part of their coal. Other officers say that the battleships have deeper draft than the Charleston when she CT ossed the bar.

Tokio, July 15.-The massing of the American fleet in the Pacific about which American papers have ap- pealed to Marquis Ito for an opinion is semiofficially discussed by ltos administration organ Thursday. The paper says.
 We cannot help feeling some mis- giving with regard to the significance of the intended massing of American battlesf1ips in the Pacific, especially in view of the grandiose announce ment attributed to President Roose- velt to the effect that the navy would furnish the world with a startSlg de- monstration of Americas defensive capacity. It is difficult for us to ac- cept the assurance that the coming maneuvers do not possess any connec- ton whatever, with the Japanese, American situation. We regret that Washington thinks it necessary to take what resembles a precautionary measure. However, We are not dis posed to attach serious importance to this matter and have no inclination to doubt the presidents sincerity in as- surfing the peaceful nature of the pro posed maneuvers. Neither have we the slightest doubt of the pacific and frierdly sentiments of American gov ernment The people toward whom Jaran's blame is probably due are the irresponsible sections Of both nations Ito declines discussion regarding the sensational agitation of the sress.

IS REMARKED TO
 BRIDE OF HIS YOUTH
D. H. Hopkins Is Again United to the Mother of His Three Children, From Whom He Has Been Divorced
 for About Eight Years.

D. H. Hopkins, one of the best known citizens of Polk county, having lived about eighteen years at Dallas, was Saturday married to Mrs. Minnie Wilson, whom he first welded about thirty years ago at Bear Lake, Mich, and from whom he secured a divorce about eight years ago. They had three children, two sons and a daughter, all now married.
 The ceremony was performed by Judge James D. Shaver at his residence this morning at about II o'clock.
 After the separation the wife went to Hot Springs, where she later married man by the name of Wilson, who, il is reported, has since died. She has frequently been Tn Mena visiting her chil- dreu.
 About two years ago Bennett Jackson married the daughter, Hazel, and since moved to Hot Springs, where the couple have lived with Mrs. Wilson.
 The sons, Charles and Harry, are engaged in the sawmill busi- ness in the Indian Territory and are we'll known in Mena.
 One week ago, Mir. Jackson. his wife and Mrs. Wilson came to Mena and went on fishing trip from this point. Nothing more was heard from them until this morning Mir, Hopkins ap- piled for and received a license permitting him to marry Mrs. Minnie Wilson. A little later Judge Shaver, who was busily engaged in his garden this morn ing, was called to the house, where he was met by MT. Hop kins and requested by him to
 form the ceremony. Judge

SALEM HAS
ANOTHER
COMPANY
COMPOSED OF ITS BUSINESS MEN
viii Manufacture Gas and Electric
Fixtures and Do Wiring

The firm of Gamble, Hyde & Com
pany of this city has been absorbed
by a corporation of Salem business
men, who have organized a concern
for manufacturing all kinds of gas
and electric fixtures and to do expert
wiring. The new corporation is
formed with representative citizens
of this city and will be known as the
Western Electric & Manufacturing
company.
August Huckenstein has been
chosen as president of the company
and the capital stock has been fixed
at $4,000. II. c. Gamble, who has
been in the electric business In all
it's lines for many years, has been
chosen manager for the ensuing
year and with his able services and
it's conservative and business like
corps of officers and directors the
success of the firm is assured. Many
of the buildings in this city and In
the valley towns are poorly wired.
In fact the wiring in many OF the
buildings is such as to endanger the
structures. The new concern is now
figuring on installing lighting plants
for three cities in this state with
good prospects of securing the con-
tracts. During the past week con-
tracts for more than $1,000 worth
Of wiring in Salem were signed and
the manager stated today that at
least S32, 900 worth OF work was be-
ing figured on and as the company
has not lost contract so far It is
reasonably certain that large por-
tlon of this work will be secured.
The company has control of the
Gamewell fire alarm system which
is recognized by insurance under
writer's, and buildings fitted with
this system have a ten per cent re-
ductlon in their insurance.
This is another of Salem's live en-
terprlses which will develop into an
industry and not only give employ
ment to local workmen and be an ad-
yertisement for the community but
will add materially to the protection
OF the city. The citizens should en-
