the command of Rear Admiral Sperry,
the sixteen vessels that are making
such a remarkable round-the-world
voyage turned their prows definitely
toward home waters.
They have been gone srom Hampton
Roads nearly a year, on the most re-
markable trip ever recorded in naval
annals. II the record established up

watched with deep interest, because
of the technical knowledge to be de
rived from the big mapeuvers, and
because OF the remarkable skill OF
American naval officers and the won
derful efficiency Of the American war
ships.
The officers and men have been Law
ishly entertained at every port at
which the feet stayed. Each govern
ment endeavored to outdo the other
in its welcome to the visitors, and the
result has been a degree of official
hospitality seldom before recorded. In

the Law,

PHOENIX, Dec 4.-(SpeciaI.l .l-C.
F. Ainsworth's suit against Con-
stable NJ. o. Phelps of Mesa for 81, 900
damages on the ground that Phelps
arrested him for speeding an automo-
bile through Mesa on an invalid war
rant was begun this morning in the
district court, /. ]. Lipsohn appearing
as the attorney for Ainsworth and G.
P Bullard for Phelps
After the selection of a jury of
twelve men to decide whether or not
Ainsworth had been humiHated, wrong
ed and injured, Bullard and Aims
worth proceeded to argument the
validity of the warrant on which
Phelps made the arrest, this being the
pivotal point in the whole case.
Ainsworth contended that inasmuch
as the complaint gainst him did not
allege the section of the Mesa city
ordinances under which the arrest
was made the warrant based on the
complaint and under which he was ar
rested, was defective and void.
In support of his contention Aims
worth quoted literally from the stat
utes of other states, one case in point
being that of a man who sued for
damages after he had arrested and
acquitted of the theft of promis-
sorry note. The complaint failed to
aIlege the value of the note, and was
declared null and void.
Bullard answered by quoting just as
literally from statutes that give a
different shade to the question, and
after dismissing the jury at noon.
Judge Kent announced that he would
decide the question raised at o'clock
this afternoon
AinsYorth's arrest twice for the
same offense OF speeding his auto
through Mesa, attracted great atten-
tion several months ago. He was
twice released on writs of habeas
corpus, the first by Judge F. M Doan
in Phoenix and the second by Judge
J. H. Campbell In Tucson.
Shortly after he had been released
In both cases, Ainsworta suied Phelps
for 81, 900 for false Imprisonment, and
a similar complaint against Justice L.
V. Guthrie, who issued the complaint.

The transcript in the case of A. s. J. Clark against the Jonesboro, Lake City and Eastern Railroad Company, on appeal from the Mississippi County Circuit Court, was filed in the Supreme Court Thursday. The action was brought against the railroad company for $500 damages and attorneys fees, alleged to have been sustained by the plaintiff by reason of an overcharge of fare by a conductor on the road while the plaintiff was passenger between Chickasawba and Blytheville. The plaintiff alleges that the conductor required him to pay fare of 10 cents, whereas the distance between the two stations is only 7,2S5 links and that the maximum amount allowed for col lection by law is only five cents. For the alleged overcharge of five cents plaintiff sued railroad company for $500 damages and attorneys fees. In the lower court the jury rendered a decision in favor of the defendent railroad company, whereupon the plaintiff took an appeal to the Supreme Court

No Fear of Deficit.

Christmas demands disposed of and
 feeling calmer than earlier in the holi- day season, employees of the office of the State treasurer have given expres- sion to the belief that none will suffer through any deficiency in the State treasury this year. They say there may be shortage in the general fund, but should it occur the sheriffs of the various counties, who will by that time have large sums in their hands from tax collections, and although they are not ready to turn it over to the State treasurer, will be appealed to for an advance. There has been an assurance that should this be asked the sheriffs will not turn it down, but send in whatever amount they have on hand, take the treasurer's receipt for it and then credit it at the settle ment which is made later in the year.

To Improve Terre Noir.

Land owners in the vicinity of the Terre Noir creek bottom are devising plans to improve the stream. It is proposed to straighten and deepen the creek for a distance of about 25 miles, commencing few miles south of Hol- lywood, and continuing to where the creek empties into the Little Missou- ri river. If the proposed work is put through, it will be by bond issue, and the cost which would be very moderate, would be distributed over a period of from 10 to 30 years. The value of parts of the land would be quadrupled, and it's productiveness would be greatly enhanced.

Killed By Brother-in-Law.

Henry Bryant, boy of 15 years of age, shot and instantly killed his brother-in-law, Oscar McCord, near Vilonia, and immediately after the shooting, John Bryant, father of the boy, fell dead from heart failure, brought on by excitement. McCord, who was married Christmas day to Bryant's daughter, had gone with his bride to visit her parents, intending to spend the day. Mrs. Bryant and her new son-in-law were not on the best of terms and engaged in a quarrel, during which McCord is said to have struck her. At this the elder Bryant procured a gun and would have shot McCord, but was finally induced by members of the family to give up the gun. The boy then secured the gun and shot his brother-in-law.

Chief Justice Hill May Resign.

According to story which has been whispered among prominent politicians and lawyers for the past several days, Chief Justice Hill of the Supreme Court will resign shortly. The place will be offered to Col. George w. Murphy, former attorney general of Arkansas. Col. Murphy will decline the honor, and the position will then be offered to Lewis Rhoton, prosecut- ing attorney of Pulaski County, who will accept. Roy D. Campbell, a we'll known attorney of Little Rock, will be appointed prosecuting attorney by Gov ernor Pindall. Chief Justice Hill will be made general attorney of the Lit tie Rock and Fort Smith division of the Missouri-Pacific system, a position which will be left vacant on January 1 by the resignation of Col. Oscar L.. Miles, who now holds it. Those inter- ested in the reported changes, how ever, will neither deny or confirm the report.
The Huttig news., 1908-01-04
Many Arrests Expected.

Within the next 30 days Acting Gov. ernor x. O. Pindall will probably be flooded with petitions for pardons of of lenders who Wednesday violated an act of the recent legislature, if the sheriffs who attended the late meeting of the Sheriff's Association, make good their words. This act makes it a misdemeanor for any person to ap- pear at any picnic, barbecue, school or other exhibition, childrens day service, church, prayer meeting or to board any passenger train or other public conveyance in drunken condi- tion or in state of intoxication. The fine in each offense is not less than $10 nor more than $25. At the State Sheriffs' meeting it was resolved to enforce this law to the letter. There are usually many public gatherings in Arkansas on Christmas and many men with pints and quarts of red liquor journey on trains between stations to points of interest and some are in- variably quite noisy and demonstra- tive while under the influence of the contents of their flasks. If all such Christmas celebrants should be arrest ed, convicted and fined, the governor, it is predicted, will be overwhelmed during the coming month with peti- tions for the pardons of the misde- meanors.

State Capital Notes
New Laws For 1908.

Seven acts passed by the recent legislature will become effective dur ing the coming year and one the year after. The one that takes effect Janu- ary 1, 1909, is local law affecting the question of making legal a four wire fence in Arkansas and Prairie counties. The question is left to the counties interested.
 The other acts which go into effect January 1, 1908, are the pure food law, the anti-cigarette law, and the act regulating the operation of locomotive headlights.
 The law requiring the county courts of each county to receive propositions from banks which desire to be tho Repositories of the county's funds, takes effect October 31, 1908.
 The act providing for county de- pository for Randolph county takes effect from and after October 31, 1908.
 The act fixing the salary of the treasurer of Washington county at $1,200 per annum, goes into effect from and after October 30, 1908. One of the most important special acts passed by the recent legislature is the one which separates the office of collector from that of sheriff of Garland county. This act takes effect October 31, 1908. In view of the recent contest in that county oyer the sheriff's office, which carried with 1t the collectorship, the plan of separa- ting the offices will be watched with great deal of interest. The object of separating the two offices, as stated when the bill was discussed in the legislature, was to eliminate the office of collector from the politics of Gar land county.
 An act which becomes a law on the first of the year, and one in which every merchant in the State is inter- ested, is that which Is known as the pure food act. It is an act to pre- vent the manufacture or sale of adul- terated or misbranded or poisonous or deleterious foods, drugs, medicines and liquors.
 The anti-cigarette act also becomes effective January 1. This. act makes 1t unlawful for any person, firm or cor poration, acting either as principal or agent, to sell, give away or offer for sale or to give away or to have in possession on or about the premises for the purpose of selling or giving away, or to make or manufacture, or to attempt to make or manufacture, or in any way assist in making or manufacturing for the purpose of sell ing or giving away any cigarette, cigarettes. or cigarette wrappers or papers, to any pfEsen ef- pefsons.~ Tho penalty is finesof not less than $10. nor more than $150.

Pardon Denied.

Acting Governor X. O. Pindall has denied the application of Hensley Crofton, negro, for pardon. Crofton was convicted not long ago in the How ard county Circuit Court on the charge of manslaughter, and was sentenced to three years in the penitentiary. The case was appealed, and the Supreme Court recently affirmed the judgment of the lower court and Crofton was placed in prison. The negro has many friends in Nashville, all of whom signed his petition for pardon, which was delivered to the governor by Sheriff w. P. Williams: but the executive failed to see his way clear to grant the prayer of the peti- tiOners.
