Little Rock, March 27.--par- tial or complete returns from 60 of the 75 counties in the state show that George w. Donaghey
 has received the Democratic mo- mination for governor of Arkan- sas. While the returns at hand are not sufficient to show that Donaghey has an absolute plu- rality over his two opponents, his lead is so great that there seems to be no chance of either of his opponents overcoming it.

Bradstreet Says That Bust

New York, March 13.-Bradstreets
State Of Trade tomorrow will say:
There is considerable improvement in
both the tone of general distributive
trade and in the volume of business
actually booked by jobbers. Retail
trade, too, has enlarged slightly as the
result of springlike weather over a
large area the advance Of the season
and the better appearance Of the early
crop situation. Withal, however. there
is little change to be seen in the char
acter of the buying which is still along
very conservative lines and while the
volume of business doing is larger now
than at any time last fall the shrink
age from n year ago is distinct and
| Enthusiastically large. Collections are
still very backward and prices of
staples are lower than for long time
past
Stocks of old woods in the Boston
market are being closed out at conces-
sions. hence the good volume of sales is
reported. New clip woods are arriving
from Arizona. being consigned to East
ern merchants. Eastern buyers are in
no hurry to go West and the feeling IS
that this years wool will seek the buy
ers by means of consignment. Foreign
woods are irregular Fine merinos are
scarce and no lower prices are looked
for, but cross-beds are expected to rule
easier.

During an epidemic of grip Peruna
should be used. The doses recon-
mendec on the bottle are sufficient.
After the grip has once been acquired,
DR.. Hartman recommends the use Of
Peruna in teaspoonful doses every hour
during the acute stage, after which the
directions on the bottle should be fol-
lowed.
Experience has shown that the people
who use Peruna as a remedy for grip
generally recover sooner and are less
liable to the distressing and long-con-
tinued after effects of the grip.
When Peruna has not been used dur
ing the course of the grip and the patient
finds himself suffering from the after
effects of this disease, a course of Peruna
should be resorted to.
Suffered Twelve Years From After
Effects Of La Grippe.
Mr., Victor Patneaude, 32S Madison
ST., Topeka, Kan, member OF Knights
| and Ladies of Security, writes:
"Twelve years ago had a severe at
tack of la grippe and never really re-
covered my health and strength-but
grew weaker every year, until l was
unable to work.

WITHOUT COUNSEL
Rep. Li|Iey Must Face In
vestigating Com. Alone.
His Lawyers Withdraw Because
Of Committees Course.
High Naval Officials will Be Asked
TO Give Evidence.

Washington. March 13.-Representa-
tive Lillcy Of Connecticut will face the
submarine investigating committee
next Monday without legal counsel to
advise him. 1t was learned today that
Frank T. Brown and Stiles Judson, the
Connecticut attorneys who We're en-
gagged by Mr.. Lilley and appeared with
him at the committee hearing Thurs
day, thrcy up their engagement last
night and went home They gave as
the reason the refusal by the commit
tee to permit examination or cross
examination of witnesses by persons
other than members of the committee
for its approval. They felt that under
such a restrictive arrangement legal
talent could be of no assistance to Mr.
Lilley.
Chairman Boutell Of the Investigate
ing committee in an interview today
with The Associated Press made the
following statement:
1T should be clearly understood that
the committee is proceeding not only
within the narrow lines laid down by
the law, but also with a view and pur-
pose to protect Mr.. LiIley and to pre-
vent this investigation from deteriorat-
ing into a laughing stock and Il farce
Mr.. Lilley objected earnestly to be-
ing compelled to appear as the first
witness before the committee. He told
the committee he thought the invest-
CATION should proceed along different
lines. that he should be allowed to
name the order of witnesses and he
through his counsel should have the
privilege of examining and cross-ex-
amining them. Now the fact is that
if we had acceeded to this desire and
placed witnesses on the stand before
a foundation had been laid by the tes-
timony of Mr.. Lilley himself. we should
have been proceeding contrary to law
and the witnesses subpoenaed by the
committee could not only have disre-
garded the summons and treated them
with contempt, but could have brought
action for damages against the server
of the summons, the Sergeant-at- arms
case the summons was obeyed. The
law surrounding the process known as
Subpoaened duce lecum-which means

eases were held up by inspecting physi-
clans here and forced to pay certain
sums of money before being allowed en-
trance into the dominion.
The investigation, both here and at
Liverpool, was instituted at the IN
stigation of William RochS. the agent
of one of the steamship companies Mr..
Roche had noticed that those emil
grants who were pasesd by medical
authorities at Liverpool as being free
from diseases were, in numerous cases,
held up by the medical inspectors ON
This side OF the ocean The steamship
line. Mr.. Roche rssid, had been ex-
tremely careful to bring no passengers
who were suffering from tracnolla CT
other diseases which would prevent
their landing. as the company did not
wish to be burlened with the expense
Of carrying sucn passengers back to
LiverrGul again, and, consequently
had maintained strict medical in
spection of all iemigrants at Liverpool
The investigation brought out that
three men in Liverpool, Mikael Lur-
kis, Charles Harneson and Arshay
Atonia, who evidently stood close to
the emigr alton authorities had been ex-
torting money from emigrants to en-
sure their admission into Canada and
that the emigrants who had paid such
sums were given instructions as to
