most interesting that that famous
political organization has witnessed
in late years. though the Tammany
leaders declare the changes were

BUILDING COLLAPSED.
Front of Mayors Office Fell While Judges Were Counting First
 Ward Votes.

Wednesday night while the judp es and clerks of the 1st ward were engaged iu counting the ballots in the office of the mayor, they were suddendly startled by the collapsing of the front walls, which fell outward with a crash and lodged against the electric wires. The windows were smashed, adding to the confusion. The election officers made rush for the open but soon discovered that but little damage had been done.
 The cause of the collapse was the prevalence of the unusual high wind, although few claim that the unusual amount of gas that escaped during the day, was the cause of the accident.
 Thursday carpenters went to work repairing the damages.

 by two Koreans, said Monday night that the patient was in excellent con- dition considering the seriousness of his injuries He continued:
 "One bullet entered just below the right shoulder blade and I am inclined The other entered the pelvis and nar- rowly missed the spinal cord. We know the spinal cavity is intact from the fact that there have been no signs of paralysis. Nor Is there any evidence that the bullet entered the abdomen.
 We shall wait few days until the patient has recovered from the shock, when we will locate the bullets with the X-Ray and operate for their re- moval. The danger of operating at present, while the patient is weak from shock, is too great"
 Dr Zumwalt added that the pa tients temperature was normal, and that he was resting comfortably, his pulse being 90 and his respiration 24.
 The attempt to assassinate Dur ham w. Stephens, the political advisor of the Korean council of state, it is now said, was the result of a carefully matched conspiracy inspired imme- diately by a manifesto of the Korean Righteous Army calling upon all loyal Koreans to consecrate them selves to holy war and exterminate all Japanese.
 This manifesto reached here on the same ship which brought Stevens The proclamation is signed by General E. Vie Lin Yung, general of the Korean Righteous Army"
 I. w. Paik, national president of the Korean Reform league in commenting the action of the conspirators is quot ed as follows:
 Stevens met the fate that comes to all betrayers," he said. He came into Korea from America, which we have always regarded as our best friend among the nations. He betrayed us He told us that the nation We most hate must be accepted as our master. and he told us that the two Koreans most despised in their own land were the only ones to lead us as we should go. But we are not fools nor dogs to submit"
 "Who are the two Koreans most hated in their own land?" Paik was asked
 "Yee Wan Wong. the prime minister. who also is a Japanese spy, and Seng Pung Chun, the minister of agricul- ture," he replied And they will be laid low. too" he added.
 There are said to be TOO Koreans in the two revolutionary leagues here and these are working with 100000 more who have fled into Siberia and Russia to rouse the courage of their country ment to the point of turning upon Japan and driving her out of their land, which the patriots here say is being robbed and pillaged by the brown conquerers.

PRISONERS FIRED JAIL
Inmates of Garland County Bastile Make Successful Break for Liberty
 When Taken From Building.

Hot Springs, March 24.-The Garland county jail was set on fire by unknown persons tonight about 11:45 o'clock and in the ex- citement which followed the dis covery of the fire seven of the ten prisoners confined in the jail escaped.
 The fire was extinguished be fore the building had been de- stroyed, but it was necessary to remove the prisoners to prevent them from being burned to death. Three of the prisoners, one of them an insane man, made no attempt to escape, but the re- mainder of the prisoners made break for liberty and escaped un- der cover of the darkness.
 All of the prisoners who es- capped were charged with minor offenses, but there were some among them who were known to the local officers as bad men. Among those who escaped was Will Jones, a negro, who sawed his way out of the.same jail some weeks ago, but was recaptured at Nashville, Tenn. The jail which was partially destroyed tonight was temporary structure which was erected after the old jail was destroyed iu the big fire which occurred here two years ago.

HAL |. NORWOOD WINS
 FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL
Has Apparently Carried State by Good Race Very Close Will Take Official Count to Determine County Strong for Hinemon Logan Wins Senatorial
 Race and Hamilton Safe for Representative

Hal Norwood, Mena's candidate for attorney general, is elected by z large majority. He carried Polk county by an overwhelming vote The following telegram was re ceived by The Star today:
 Little Rock, Ark. March 26. Mena Star, Mena, Ark.
 Have carried more than sixty counties; majority over twenty thou sand. Thanks to my friends every where. Hal l.. Norwood.
 Judging from wire reports from Little Rock the race between the candidates for governor is so close that an official count may be neces- sary to decide the winner. All the candidates declare the situation still uncertain.
 Polk county gave Hinemon good plurality, with Donaghey a good second. Kirby's race was not near ly up to the expectations of his friends.
 Kirby is said to have carried Ouachita county by a large majority greatly to the surprise of Dona- ghey's manager. Hinemon is said to have shown a weakness in North Arkansas.
 Ludwig is reelected as secretary of state by overwhelming majority
 MT. Pinnix for prosecuting attor- ney surprised his friends by the strength he developed in all the counties, having goodly majority in Polk.
 In the senatorial struggle John P. Logan has received handsome majority over his opponent, Mir. Sanford, in Polk county.
