THE CUSTER DIDN'T DUST.
A subterfuee Used by the Anhauser-
 Busch People in Kansas.

Topeka, Kan, Mar. 1G-The Mahan Mercantile company. through Thomas Mahan and William Meyer. the chief officials of the company, have been cited for contempt of the orders of the Kansas supreme court in the custer suit against the Anhauser- Busch Brewing association. This brewing company was busted by the supreme court and ordered not to transact business in Kansas again. But the attorney general has found that the Mahan Mercantile company has been selling Anhauser-Busch beer .t Wichita in wholesale lots. The charge in the citation for contempt is that the Mahans are transacting busi- ness in Kansas for the brewing associ- ation and that this is subterfuge of the brewing association to avoid the orders of the supreme court.

BEAUTIFYING THE PARK
Judge Kelly Has Commenced the Spring Clearing Work - Handsome
 Eagle on Display.

Under the management of Judge J. s. Kelly, Janssen Park IS rapidly being given its spring dressing up, and promises to be more attractive this summer than ever before. All leaves and trash are being removed, flowers and shrubs are being transplanted, cages have been completed at the Janssen cottage for bald eagle, owls, squirrels, etc. No efforts are being spared to give the public one of the finest places for recreation to be found in any little town in the United States. While most of The Star readers are familiar with this popular resort. for the bsnefit of those residing out or the city, 1t is well to say that Janssen park covers about ten acres, practically in the heart of Mena, covered with beautiful shade trees, the walks and drives lined with flowers, with an old time time log cabin standing in the center-the only house where Mena now stands thirteen years ago.
 The lakes are beautiful this season, being filled to the brim with the purest water to be found in Arkansas.
 Janssen park is the best ad vertlsemeut the city has, and every dollar invested in it's im- proyement brings back ten-fold value to Mena.
 The latest attraction IS 3 beautiful specimen of Bald Eagle which was placed on exhibition this morning.

ID SAVE THE TIMBER
RAILROADS PLAN TO HELP THE GOVERNMENT IN coNSER-
 NATION OF THE FOREST.
ENGINEERS HOLD \ MEETING IN CHICAGO
American Railway Engineering And Maintainance of Way Association In Convention Receive Report of Spe- ciaI Committee on Ties-Recommend Measures to Prevent Waste.

Chicago, Mar 16,--Leading railway engineers from all parts of the coun- try were in Chicago Monday in attend ance on the sessions of the annual convention of the American railway engineering and maintenance of was association which opened in the Audi toriam hotel. So far as the general public is concerned, the most interest Ing and important feature of the con yeAtion. is the report of special com mittee which, If favorably received by the association, will result in the active cooperation of the railways with the government in the conserva- ton of the country's forests.
 This report was made Monday by a subcommittee on forest supplies of the committee on ties. It recommends that the utmost care be used to pre- vent waste of timber and that own CTS of forest lands be encouraged to replant. It is also proposed that measures be adopted to prevent fires; that legislation be sought that will make 1t unnecessary to cut timber to pay taxes, on the lines of the na- iional conservation commissions plan Tor a separate tax on the land, that on the timber to be paid only after 1t is cut; and that statistical bureau be established to obtain information as to the life of ties, timber supplies and waste.
 Not having found any reinforced concrete tie suitable for heavy or iigh speed traffic. the committee rec ommends the use of ties chemically treated and protected by the plates.
 The report was received with the greatest interest by the members of the association and it's recommends tions were looked upon generally with favor.

WATCHING TARIFF CHANGES.
Southern Cotton Manufacturers Fear New England Mills May Get
 an Advantage.

Atlanta, Ga, Mar. 16.-A meeting of representatives of the various tex tile associations of Georgia, North Carolina. South Carolina. Alabama
 Mississippi and Louisiana. wi,i be held in Atlanta on Tuesday of this week, at which tariff revision with reference to It's effect on cotton manu- factures Is to be considered. Local cotton factors announce that while they had no definite information as to any changes proposed in the tariff affecting this industry, they consid- cred it advisable to call meeting of the southern interests with a view Of considering possible changes and to appoint a committee to appear before the ways and means committee of the house. If 1t was found expedient after a full discussion of the matter.
 It is said that New England mills. which manufacture the finer fabrics, are seeking to have the tariff on this grade of goods increased, and at the same time favor reduction on coarser cotton goods, which are manu- factured principally by southern mills. This was given Monday by a prom inent local mill man as one of the reasons for the meeting Tuesday. He said that higher tariff on the tner cotton goods would give to the New England mills a monopoly, whereas reduction in the present tariff on coarse cotton goods would force the southern mills to compete. with foreign countries. which have the advantage of cheaper machinery an cheaper labor.

FAILS TO AMEND
 CIGARETTE LAW
Senate and House Spend Much Time on Local Measures Hamilton Introduces Depository Bill
 for Polk County.

Little Rock, March Is. Between the passage of local bills and the defeating of some general measures the senators found time to introduce 35 new bills, have them read twice and for the most part make them special orders for days in ti:is week
 Senators Glover and Henderson each introduced game bills.
 The bill of the day that was of general state wide interest was Senator Bush's amendment to the anti-cigarette bill. Tie bill provid- ed that it should be unlawful for any person to have in his possession or on bis premises any cigarette or cigarette paper. The senators who voted against the bill and defeated It said that it was either un.onstitu. tional or abridged personal liberties.
 The bill by Senator Dill, to permit notaries public to perform marriage ceremonies, was defeated, as was Senator McKnight's bill to require that marriage licenses be procured in the county in which the bride-to- be resides.
 Twenty-one local bills were passed, 34 introduced and three considered by the house yesterday during what was, without doubt, the most stren- uous session that body has had this session insofar as the steady intro- duction and consideration of local measures is concerned. It was a worn-out set of representatives that finally adjourned at 4:20 o'clock yesterday afternoon, after having worked about half an hour over time.
 The entire day was devoted to the introduction and consideration of local measures. Representative John H. Hrmilton introduced bill creating depository for Polk coun- ty. The bill was read twice.

NICARAGUA |S QUIET
MINISTER AT WASHINGTON CON- FERs WITH SECRETARY KNOX
 REGARDING SITUATION.
MAY ADJUST \ UNDERSTANDING CLAIM
Notwithstanding Assurances of the Minister That Military And Naval Activity In Nicaragua Is for Defen- sve Purposes Only, More Warships Will Be Sent to Those Waters.

Washington. Mar. 17--Nicaragua, through her minister here, Senor Es- pineza. protested to Secretary Knox Monday that the military and naval activity now in progress in that coun- try Is destined entirely for defensive purposes; that she does not contem- plate making any attack on her sister republics, and that conditions are quiet within her borders.
 The minister went to the state de- partment armed with bundle of dis patches from his government and spent half hour with the secretary. during which he discussed also the Emery claim, which has been the source of dispute between the two countries for years.
 Both the secretary and the minister. after the conference expressed the hope for a satisfactory adjustment of the claim and peaceful solution of the whole situation.
 Notwithstanding the minister's as- tions toward her neighbors, the ad-
 ninistration has decided to argument the naval force in Central American waters to a total of six. vessels. In addition to the Yorktown, now en route for Amapala, Honduras, the arm pred cruisers Maryland and Washing ton are to remain on the West Coast, the former going to Acajutla. Salvador and the latter to Corinto
 The rost significant news that reached the state department Monday was that about 6000 Nicaraguan troops are near the Honduran frontier, the chief scene of activity being
 in the neighborhood of Corinto, where are also concentrated four gunboats and other auxiliary craft A feature distasteful to the state department is the manner in which John H. Gregory, he secretary of legation at Managua. who has been ordered to Washington, Is being treated. From the dispatches It is gathered that the Nicaraguans are doing nothing to make his position agreeable, but that on the contrary there are evidences of hostility to him, and it is understood here also thai some of his dispc tches have not reacA- ed him as promptly as they should.
 The whole sltua lon is inexplicabls and irritating to the state department which is not disposed to act hastily and is seeking the views of the vari- ous capitals in Central America through its representatives in those places with whom it has acquainted fully every step that has been taken.

PRETTY MENA HOME
 DESTROYED BY FIRE
Residence of ". L. Harper on West Port Arthur Avenue Burned to the Ground Monday Night Another
 Defective Flue.

At l0o'clock Monday night the fire alarm sounded over Mena for he fifth time in six days-thu second for one day, apd within half hour the pretty two-story home of Engineer w. l.. Harper, 1923 West Port Arthur avenue was in ruins. As the flames were said to have been first seen break ing through the roof near flIo, there seems no doubt but defect m the fiue was responsible.
 Mrs. Harper and her little laughter were at home alone u the time of the fire, Mir. Hat per being out on his ruu north. He was caught at Spiro by wire and returned home on No. |.
 When the fire discovered by the neighbors they at once gave the alarm, and then, the home being outside the water district, went heroically to work to save as much as possible. Practically all the furniture in the lower story was carried out, and even windows and doors taken out.
 The home of J. w. Bivens, just east of the Harper home, was in grave danger, as borne out by the fact that the side next the fire is charred and blackened all over. A bucket brigade compo ed Of tiremeu and neig bors, however, fought the flames, which started up frequently, to standstill.
 Mir. Harper places his loss at S2500, with insurance as follows: House, 5000; furniture, $400; piano, $500.
 MT. and Mrs. Harper and little daughter are at present at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Ros- bach.

INSTITUTION OF
 VALUE TO MENA
Ben Strauss Shows Citizens Over His New Sanitary Slaughter House and Then Provides Feast of
 Coed Things.

Through the enterprise or Ber Strauss, Meua now has as good a slaug house as can be found in and city-a place where all the rules of sanitation can be followed out in detail.
 Mir. Strauss has conducted a butcher and packing business in Mena for many years and some months ago decided to provide himself with a new place for kill ing stock and caring for the meat. Before doing so he visited Kan sas City and other points and studied the equipment aad meth |ods ot the best plants.
 When this was done he began the construction of large con crete building, foundation, foor and walls, especially planned to meet his requirements. This being completed Beu invited city officials, newspaper men and Fcitizens generally to an "open- ing" Monday, which was att tended by a large number.
 When the visitors had assem- bled MT. Strauss and his assist ants showed them over this plant and pointed out how absolute cleanliness was provided tor in every department, and then gave an illustration of the work by killing and dressing a fine fat steer, in the entire process of which everyone present saw that |cleanliness was provided tor.
 Just when all present had been convinced that Ben had every thing "just right" he called attention to long table that had been provided with good things to eat, and if asyone went away with that "all gone' feeling 1t was his own fault, for enough and more than enough was pro- vided by the host. To lend fur ther interest to the event Captain ]. F. Todd spoke in earnest terms lof what this enterprise meant to the people of Mena and of how they should be proud of having as good au institution of the kind as would be found in any city, regardless of size, and praising MT. Strauss for his goed work. MT. Strauss responded by pointing out the necessity of such a plant, citing some instances that made it imperative for pub lie health, and then stated that It was open for the use of every one who desired 1t. He stated also that he would soon have a first-class cold storage plant in connection, which would place Meua on a basis equal to any city, so far as having choice, tender meat was concerned.
 Another feature kof interest is that provisions are made for the disposal of all refuse matter so that neither the running stream nearby nor the atmosphere of the neigh borhood will be polluted in the least.
