SENATOR JONES DEAD.
Noted Arkansas Politician Passes
Away in Washington.

Former United States Senator James
X. Jones of Arkansas died at his home
in Washington at the age of sixty
nine. Heart failure was the immediate
cause of death, which came within a
day after the ex-senator was stricken.
At the time of his death Senator Jones
was p2ctfcing law in partnership with
his son, James X. Jones, Jr.
Senator Jones was born in Marshall
County, Miss, Sept. %, 1899, received
a classical education, was a private
soldier during the Civil War on the
losing side, lived on his plantation
after the close of the war until 1878,
when he commenced the practice of
law, and the same year was elected to
the Senate of the State of Arkansas.
The next step in the political ladder
came in 1880, when he was elected in
the Embellishments year as a Repre-
sentative to Congress. 1t was not until
Carlisle of Kentucky was elected
Speaker that Jones came forth from OBJ
security and was made member Of the
Ways and Means Committee of the
House. In 1856 he was elected to the
Senate and took his seat in 1887.
For eighteen years thereafter Sena-
tor Jones was a national character and
a power in the councils of the Demo

NEW YORK

Weather, crop and trade reports are
irregular There are some rather less re-
assuring advices from some sections as to
leading crops, due mainly to excessive
rainfall in wide areas: bad roads are a
necessary result of this, and trade in
affected sections naturally has suffered.
In other places, where a few days of
warm, forcing weather have interviewed,
trade is better, and in instances being due
to reductions, which have resulted in large
stocks of goods being cleaned up. Taken
as a whole, the eastern and central west
.ern States send best reports as to final
distribution. In some primary lines OF
distribution the better feeling noted some
time ago has become more widespread.

State Rights in Court,

The extent to which the State courts
shall give due faith and credit to the
decisions of other State courts, as requir-
ed by the constitution, is defined in a
decision of the Supreme Court, to 4, in
the case of a cotton future deal at Vicks-
burg. The dealer was wiped out by a
decline and the broker sued him for the
sum due over margin deposited. In Mis-
sissippi the laws against stock gambling
prevented collection, but a judgment
was got in Missouri. This, however, was
not recognized by the Mississippi courts,
but in this course the Supreme Court
takes the opposite view, at least major
ity of it holding that the Missouri judg-
ment should be given full force in Mis-
sissippi.

lions of dollars are being expended in
utilizing wasted water supplies and d.

draining of swamp lands and the prob

the next three years will witness an

its relation to irrigation being the most
intimate, it is said. Rivers rising in
devastated countries are subject to an
nual floods that cannot be controlled
and work only further devastation each
year, while the flow can be turned to
no useful purpose
In the country surrounding Albu-

irrigation are to be discussed. there
are traces of ancient works fully as
wonderful in their way because created
by primitive peoples ages ago who were
the first irrigators of the West.
The most remarkable part of it. ac-
cording to the government engineers
who are surveying new canals for these
same regions, is that the ancients, with
their crude instruments, hit upon the
most advantageous routes for carrying
out these big engineering works, and
in many sections to-day. it is said, the
surveys are plotting out the new works
right along the lines of those iii use
centuries ago.
