FOREIGN CARS
DESERT RACE
italian and French Entries
Withdraw From Contest
After Reaching Asia.

Paris. May 2S-Victory in the New York
to-Farls automobile race was practically
conceded to the American car today. when
the committee in charge of the race re-
eeived from Milan an official announce
ment OF the company manufacturing the
Zust car that the Italian machine had
been withdrawn from the race at Vlsdi-
vostock- On top of this, Marquis De Dion
affirmed officially the retirement of the
De Dion car. driven by Bourcier St. CAT
fray and Autrsn, and made formal with
drawal of it.

York on Feb. Y, the detection of the last

American car. and the Protos the Ger
man entry. The Sizaire- Naudin got but
a little way on the journey when il was
compelled TO give up, and the second
the struggle at San Francisco.
But Two Cars Left.
Although two cars are left in the race.
the American car is practically alone as
the result OF the recent decision of the
race committee. They have ruled that
the German car must give the American
an allowance of thirty days in crossing
Asia and Europe. This penalty has been
imposed in consequence OF the action OF
the German crew loading the Protos on
a flat car at Pocatello, Ida, and bringing
1t by rail TO Seattle in order to catch the
boat for VladivOstOk
According tn the latest advices received
here. the French and Italian cars have
not left NladvostOk. where they arrived
several days ago. The German and Amer
lean cars arrived in Toxic on May 10 and
were Immediately tTansshipped. leaving
for the Russian port the following day.
Ii is expected that they will reach Vladi-
vostok within a day or two.
Italians Do Not Explain
No explanation of the withdrawal of the
Zust car has been vouchsafed by the
manufacturers, beyond the statement that
they have recalled Emilio SirtoFi, who
drove the Italian car across the United
States. to assist in preparing other cars
al Milan for races contemplated during
the summer.
The automobile critics, who termed the
New York-to-Paris race a hair-brained.
foolish and impracticable undertaking. are
now predicting that the remaining cars
will never finish the journey.

REFORM SCHOOL LAW.
Power of County Judges to Send Boys to Arkansas School for Young
 Criminals Upheld.

Little Rock, April 6.-Jake Priola, the Little Rock lad with whom the police department has had considerable trouble of late, will go to the Arkansas state re- form school, according to de- cision rendered by Chancellor Martineau, upon habeas corpus proceedings instituted by Priola's father, before the chancellor, to secure ths release of the lad, after Judge c. T. Coffman, of the county court, had committed him to tEe school.
 Chancellor Martineau holds the law valid, holding that the county judge was we'll within his power in committing young Priola, and that the lad must go to the re- form school. Priola will appeal the case to the Supreme court, in order to secure a ruling from the highest court in the state.
 The decision of the Supreme court on this case will be the first 10 test the law which passed the legislature, regulating the prac- tice of sending ooys to the reform school. It has been declared in many counties that tne law is in- valid, and that county judges have not the power granted them under the act to arbitrarily seud children to the reform school.

TO PROTECT THE BIRDS
The Polk County Horticultural Society Wants This Wanton Killing Stopped
 New Officers Elected.

The Polk County Horticultural Association met at the court house last Saturday. In the ab- sence of the president and secre- tary the meeting was called to order by J. W. Leeper. On motion A. l.. Durha am was chosen presi- dent pro tenn and J. T. Spring secretary.
 A statement by the chairman revealed the fact that the society was without officers, the vice president having moved to Texas, and the secretary being iu Iowa. Fl. G. Fowler moved that the association proceed to an election of officers for the ensuing year, which motion prevailed.
 J. H. Naler was elected presi- dent, A. l.. Durham, vice presi- dent, and J. T. Spring secretary. Several new members were added to the roll.
 Short talks were made by Dur ham, Leeper, Dr. Mills, Fowler, Haynes and others.
 A resolution was offered by ]. K. Leathers that this associ- ation resolve itself into society for the protection of birds. As men and boys were continually shooting birds on and around his place until there is scarcely a bird to be seen in or around his orchard, Dr. Mills added that a superintendent of an experiment. al farm had said that if all the birds and towels were destroyed it would be only nine years until the insect world would take all vegeta tion from farm, field and garden. It was suggested that our papers publish the state laws on The destruction of birds and towels and its penalties, and that the mayor and city council assist oy ordinance or otherwise until our parks ring with the songs Of the birds.
 The meeting was an enthusi- astic one, full of interest, and it is to be hoped that all who are interested in horticulture will be present at the next meeting. A.. l.. Durham and J. J. Haynes will read appropriate papers before the society at its next meeting.
 Meeting adjourned to meet at the court house on the first Satur- day in May, at l o'clock. xxx

REPEAL OF COMBS
 AND WINGO ACTS
Is Asked in Resolutions Adopted by the Democratic Convention of Hot Springs County Legisla-
 tion too Drastic.

Malvern, April 1.-The Hot Springs County Democratic Con- vention met here today and elect ed delegates to the state con yention.
 The convention adopted the following resolutions unanimous ly:
 We, the Democratic party of Hot Springs county in conven- tion assembled, believe that too much drastic legislation has been enacted by the legislatures of our state against the business inter- ests, and matters of this kind have gene too far over the country, so much so that 1t has caused a stoppage in all business interests as we'll as the farming and industrial interests of the en- tire country. and especially in our own beloved state, Arkansas; believing that such legislation is very largely responsible for the recent financial panic, and that unless something is done, tor our better protection in the way of encouraging the interests of rail- roads, corporations and industries of our state, that our interests will be more seriously affected and that the conditions will get worse instead of better.
 "Be it therefore resolved. That we demand of our county repre- sentative and state senator to institute immediate proceedings in our next legislature looking forward to the repeal of the Wingo and Combs laws and en- courage the investment of capital rather than drive it cut by such drastic measures; at the same time ieserving the right 10 regu- late these corporations by law in a legitimate way"

 The following statement from MT. Norwood will be Of much in- terest to his friends in Mena and elsewhere:
 Editor of The Starr
 For the benefit of my friends l sub init the following statement as to the vote received by my opponent, Mir. Andrews and myself in the race for Attorney General. have the figures showing the total vote received by each of us in sixty five counties which shows that he received 50, 234 and received 58, 647. I have not the total vote but only the majorities received in seven of the counties. MT. Andrew $ majority in Johnson, Union, Van Bu- ren, White and Clay was 1855. My majority in Pike and Yell was 7S5. This gives me majority of 7,563 in the seventy two counties heard from. 1 understand that l have carried Searcy and that the vote is close in Stone and have been unable to obtain any figures from Woodruff, the home county of Mir. Andrews. The State Central Committee will meet at Little Rock next Friday and canvass the re- turns, which will show my majority to be about 6,700. l have received a majority in 46 out of 72 counties heard from.
 l thank my friends sincerely and shall gratefully remember their gener- ous support. With great respect,

TO NAME CANDIDATEs| FORCONGRESS MAY Fl
Republican Congressional Committee Met in Mena Last Saturday Resolutions Praising
 Roosevelt.

1 The Republican Congressional
 committee for the Fourth Com
 gressional district in the State oi
 Arkansas, met in this city on
 last Saturday. April 4, at 5 o'clock
 p. m. at the parlors of the Ant.
 lers hotel, pursuant to call of James Brizzolara, chairman of said Republican Congressional committee. The majority of the Congressional committee on roll call were present.
 The said committee directed the issuance of call for Re- publican Congressional conven- tion to be held at Mena, on May l2, 1908, at o'clock p. m.. to select two delegates and alter mates to the Republican National convention to be held at Chicago. on June 16, 1908, to nominate candidat for congress for said district and for the transaction of such other business as may prop erly come before them.
 The basis ot representative for each county composing the Fourth Congressional district was made as that fixed by the Republican state committee, in it's call for State Convention to be held at Hot Springs on April 2S.
 The following resolution was adopted by the committee:
 Resolved, That we heartily endorse the wise equitable and just admins tration of President Roosevelt, under which the country has taken it's place as world power, and gained pres tige second to no other Nation. He has been bold, energetic and coura- gious in discharging the duties of his exalted office and has made the law respected by those in high places as well as the most humble, He will go down in history as one of our greatest presidents.
 Resolved further, That inasmuch as Arkansas will deliver no votes for the Republican presidential nominee in the electorial college, and many now unforeseen contingencies may arise before the assembling of the National Convention. it is the sense of the mem- bers of the Fourth Arkansas Congress sional district committee that the two delegates and alternates to be chosen to the Republican National Conven- tion at Chicago from the Fourth Ar kansas Congressional district be sent and uneommitted.
 We believe that the said delegates and alternates may most wisely be sent to ths National Convention abso- lutely free from any pledge or comital of any sort, so that after full consid- eration on the ground with represen- tatives from all over the country familiar with its sentiment, the best and most satisfactory results may be had.
 Committee adjourned until May F, at four p. m., at Mena.
