Dead Body Is Found In a Pond
. l0(

The body of a white man wha has been identified as being Charles Brown. a ship carpenter. who lived at Fourteenth and Welch streets. who has lived in Little Rock for the past 20 years, and who has been missing since week ago Saturday, was found carly Tuesday morning floating in the pond in the City park. The body was badly deeonposed, as the result of having been in the water for some time, but it was identified by the hands, clothing and things found in the clothing. It is thought by the po- lice, Coroner Vaughter and the mem bers of Browns family, that Brown Was walking home during the heavy rainstorm one week ago last Saturday night, and that. while walking through the City park. which route he often took in walking between his home and the business section as short cut, he fell into the pond, and was unable to get out. The theory that he had been drinking has been advanced by the coroner and others who have investigated the case.
 The corpse was gruesome sight. It had been in the water for so long time that the flesh had shifted from place. The eyes had been eaten out, and a part of the face had also been eaten away by fish. When the body was found Tuesday morning turtles were seen pulling at the head It was impossible to identify by the face or head, but identification was estab- lished by the mans clothing. his shoes and key and a pair of glasses which were found in the clothing. The key fitted a lock to Browns door and the glasses were recognized as being the same that Brown had worn. Browns hands were of peculiar shape and were said to have been exactly the same as those of the dead man. The shoes were also identified as being those bought recently by Brown. This point was established by fel- low workman by the name of Richard son who had been with Brown at the time he bought the shoes. Certain articles of clothing were said by Mrs. Brown to be those worn by her hus- band

ASQU|THA AS PREMIER
WILL RECEIVE THE
 OFFER FROM EDWARD.
AN ACTUAL MEETING IS NEEDED
King Embarrassed by Failure of CampbeIi-Bannerman to Retire
 Earlier.

London-Herbert H. Asquith, the chancellor of the exchequer. left
 Monday for Biarritz, Southern France, to receive from King Edward the offer of the British premiership. to accept it and to hurry back to London, resuming at once the duties he has been performing during the long illness of his predecessor, Sir Henry ampbell-Bannerman.
 An actual meeting with his majesty is a necessary preliminary to the pro- motion, and as the entire cabinet al ways goes out with the premier, Eng land, technically, is without a govern- ment, though the present holders of portfolios will go on with their work.
 King Edwards absence from the country makes the situation some what awkward. premier never be- fore resigned with the king away from England This was just what Edward feared when he left on his present vacation.
 King Wanted Resignation.
 It is no secret that his majesty hint ed strongly before his departure that he wished Sir Henry would retire then. The aged premier believed, how ever, that he would recover.
 Arrangements have been made for the postponement of debates in the house of commons while the new pre- mier reorganizes his cabinet.
 Many believe the substitution of his aggressive policy for Sir Henry's con- ciliatory attitude will result in change of administration within few weeks.
 Will Hold Both Posts.
 Asquith will continue to serve for time as premier and chancellor. He probably will soon name President Lloyd George of the board of trade to succeed him as chancellor, and will accept a cabinet sinecure-of neces- city, since the premiership is an un- salaried post-in which he will be left free to devote himself to the party and administration leadership.
 Winston Churchill almost certainly will get a cabinet place. Those said to be scheduled for retirement are the Marquis of Ripon as lord of the privy seal; the early of Aberdeen as Irish yiceroy, and Lord Tweedmouth, first lord of the admiralty
