Auburn. who works the lief ferson county convicts on his farm in Chicot county. filed an answer Monday in the federal court in the $l5,000 damage suit that was filed against him by David Gibson, by his next friend, Ella Moses.

 In making answer, Auburn claims that Gibson is not a resident of the state of Mississippi but of Arkansas. and that the federal court in that event has no jurisdiction He denied that April 2S was the day on which he should have released Gibson. and says that, owing 10 the fact the boy lost time by sickness, he was not en titled to release until July 17.

Commissioners Pay Their Expenses.

Indignation is arising among ship pers because the state legislature fail ed to provide the Railroad Commission with enough funds suitably to meet the crisis that confronts the commits sion in it's fight to maintain low rates,
 For more than d year the commits sion has had, not only no money for such emergencies, but no money for ordinary expenses. If the commis- sioners were not so conscientious a set of men, one shipper said, the af- fairs of their board would be in a sad condition. Instead of letting the work slip by. undone. the commissioners dig into their pockets and pay the ex. penses necessary 10 insure it's being done we'll
 When il became essential for Com missioners Allen and Crockett and Rate Clerk Swain 10 go to St. Paul and do lheir best to block the attempt of he railroads to tie up regulation in Arkansas through injunctions, they went and paid the cost ot the trip themselves When il became neces- sary to send Rate Clerk Swain 10 St Louis to help Attorney General Kirby with the case against the Kansas City Southern. Commissioner Hamp ton footed the bill So it has been all along
 The legislature requires that when ever the commission receives peti- ,,tl lia,, at il must go personally to the spot and investigate whether the petition states an actual need. However, the same legislature allowed the Commission on ly $50 for expenses. Obviously, this was soon spent thus throwing the heavy cost of making these long trips on the commissioners themselves. To be sure. the members are allowed by the legislature to receive free trans portation from the railway companies, but this does away with only a part of the actual expense involved.
 On October the suit of the trunk lines to secure permanent injunc- ton, enjoining the commission from interfering with the fixing of rates. will be called by Judge Trieber. With in several months the case will be tried. Meantime. while the commis- sion should be collecting the evidence for it's arguments. from railroad and accounting experts, it's hands are tied. They must rely entirely on the spon- taneous and voluntary efforts of the shippers in this section, to provide ex pert testimony and hire additional counsel to aid Attorney General Kir- by. The shippers have already borne the expense of two previous suits, but do not feel able to contribute the sum necessary 10 meet the great outlay necessary before the commission can expect to meet adequately the splen- did array of talent which the rail roads always have at their call.

State Sanitation Society Proposed.

The organization of an Arkansas Sanitation Society, to be composed of the members of Boards of Health throughout the state, property owners, doctors, lawyers and business men and to nave for it's purpose the prevention or disease by sanitation is now being talked by many physicians through. out the state.
 Definite steps toward the organiza- ton of such society will probably be taken soon.
 Already Dr. J C. Minor of Hot Springs. major surgeon of the Arkan- sas Natonal Guard. whose methods in keeping the Arkansas encampment in perfect sanitary condition at Leon Springs, Tex. brought forth many compliments from regular army off cers, has taken up the project and is pushing it as rapidly as possible. He has announced that he will attempt 10 interest state and municipal officers in the movement
 Concerning the project and the com ing tuberculosis congress al Wash ington, D. C., which Dr. Minor will at tend as one of the delegates from Ar. kansas, Dr. Minor has the following 10 say:
 In accepting the commission 10 rep resent the state of Arkansas al the International Congress on Tubefcuio- sis in Washington now assembled l desire to say that the subjects to be considered there are necessarily so wide in scope, both scientifically and practical, that l will be unable to take interest in any but the practical pa pers, believing that such attention can be better transmitted to the people of our state and give more satisfactory returns in the way of preventing tiis. ease. l presume the other delegates will look after the scientific end ot it
 ITO assist in the practical part Of the great work, l am going to ask the press to advise all state and munlcl- pal officials 10 become interested in a State Sanitation Society. the society to te composed of the members of Boards of Health throughout the state, togeth- CT with property holders, doctors. lawyers and business men. The or ganization should meet i'll general con. Vention once year. and discuss the points of interest presented by local or municipal boards.
 The state organization should be encouraged by the legislature. All practical work done by the organi- zation will be appreciated by the in- dividual citizens; all scientific work will be recognized and valued by the national association.
 The real work of prevention of dis ease is to he done first. last and all the time by the local boards of sani tation the scientific bodies only point the way.
 "Is the preservation of health worth the trouble? Talk is cheap; then talk"

No Gins Burned by Raiders.

The story of two gins being burn ed in the vicinity Of Newport by night riders is without foundation.

Ladd of Judsonia, after tele- phoning persons at Bradford, states that two gins in that section. one at Denmark and the other at Fairview independence county, were posted Monday night, and the owners ordered Tn close down or run the risks of fire. By most of the people here the matter is treated as a joke played upon the owners Of the two gins.

srhe present situation. due 10 the

 ensas which has already had a
 .tod effect on the cotton market
 come parts of Arkansas, appeals
 mo as being a very serious one. I
 and 10 write to John Bowers of
 .hsonviIle. president of the Arkan-
 warmers Union, immediately and
 'r him to either call an emergency
 ooting of the Arkansas union for ,so purpose of taking steps 10 check
 be night rider movement, or write ,.,,ers 10 all parts of the state at
 ao and ask the union leaders to do .rorvthing possible 10 check the ,rovth of this movement. believe ,sst inc proper solution is to appeal tbe business men and cotton buy
 ,s and ask them not to buy cotton = The foregoing declaration was made I,. II NcCulloch of Bcebe, chair n of inc Executive Committee of ne Arkansas Farmers Union and sec ,.,ary of the national organization of ,bo union. The statement was given .,, mon Nlr. McCulloch return from Little Rock.
 The statement is considered 10 be of unusual importance as indicating ho nosition that may be taken by the po,mars' Union in the present threat snpd night riders movement in this state It is interpreted to mean that fbe union will ask the cotton buyers and merchants of Arkansas 10 cease msiness entirely as far as the buying of cotton is concerned.
 ~The union is opposed 10 such q tsng as night riding, declared Mr. AlcCulloch Saturday, and will do all that if can to stamp out the growth d such a movement. However 1t .eems to me that the only possible SO lution of the situation at this time is to ask the merchants to stop buying cotton throughout the entire state. This is being tried at Paragoald and js successful in checking the further appearance of night riders. If the want 10 take the cotton on that would be all right. but we would ask that he cease buy ing any"
 But if merchants are allowed so tske the cotton to apply on indebted ness would not the result be another scheme for financing distressed cot- onY" was asked MT. McCulloch-
 Tn q way it would" he replied However there is no doubt but that he distressed cotton will be handled Ill right and without trouble without he aid of any such scheme as that.

Night Riders To Be Prosecuted.

The first arrests in connection with the appearance of night riders in Ar kansas will probably be made imme- diately, according to reports brought to Jon, boro Sunday night. A band of night riders appeared in the lower edge of Greene county recently and ordered a farmer who was hauling cotton 70 gin not to sell his cotton unless he could get as much as three and one-half cents per pound in the seed for it. Those who brought the news of the appearance of the riders 70 Jonesboro claim that they reeog- nized a number of the members of the party and that they will all be arrested.
 it is also rumored that the night riders in the lower part Of Greene county have done some violence. but it is not believed that anything sefl- ous has occurred.
 According to the report received. the man who was met by the band recent ly and ordered not to sell his cotton was also notified al the same time that if he or anyone else failed 10 obey the warnings of the riders they would suffer he consequences
 The night riders in Craighead coHn. ty have not thus far carried out any act of violence.
 There is not much fear of any lfou- ble at Ionosboro. and by many il is thought that the reports are greatly exaggerated by the time they reach the pit,
