COMING EVENTS
 OF IMPORTANCE

The first week of May happily will be free of industrial disputes of possible serious consequence to the country at large. Most of the labor troubles that came to a head on May Day are local, the only exception being that which af- fleets the traffic on the great lakes. The men want recognition of their union and minor concessions. The threatened strike in the anthracite coal district has been avoided through a working agreement re- gently adopted and the labor situation as a whole is peaceful.
 The second national peace congress opens in Chicago Monday, and will con tinue through Wednesday. A notable programme has been prepared. in which distinguished men and women representa- tive of this and other countries will take part. The first peace society in the world was the New York societly, organized in 1915. Thirteen years later various state societies were merged In national organization, known as the American Peace society. International peace con gresses have been held frequently since 1849, the date of the first gathering, which met at London. The first national peace conference in the United States under the auspices of the general organization was held in New York in 1907. The peace promoters claim to have influenced dur ing nearly a century of activity more than eighty arbitration treaties.
 President Taft will participate Friday in the unveiling, in the national capitol, of monument to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
 Interest will continue this week in de- ! velopments In Turkey. particularly in the conduct of Mehmed V, the Sultan, and the disposition of Abdul Hamid by the Young Turks who dethroned him.

PLEADS FOR NEW
 CONSTITUTION

Paris. May 2.--Loufs Gregori, who shot Maj. Alfred Dreyfus fin the pantheon at the canonizatlon of zoza last year, to- day delivered at the Elysee palace peti- ton to President Fallieres, praying that the president dissolve the chamber of deputies and summon the voters to elect a constituent assembly.
 The document points out that May 1 marks an epoch in the history of France; that new fourth estate has sprung up, which might be called "syndicalism," and which is increasing In power daily; that the chamber does not represent the ma- jority in the country. M. Gregori salso asserts that revolution or evolution Is imminent, and it would be wiser to avoid revolution by creating constituent as- sembly to replace the obsolete constitu- ton with a better one.

 Lake Village.

Lake Village.
 Lake Village.-At meeting held last week and attended by property owners of Lincoln, Desha and Chicot counties, preliminary steps were talk en toward the organization of a big drainage district for the purpose of draining the Cypress creek basin.

 Turning to the dainty Parisian, who, in addition to her other accom- plishments. plays the piano well, he said:
