HOUSE MEMBERS SHOW LIT
TIE INTEREST IN TARIFF

Washington, March 30.-Laggine
interest in the tariff debates was
made manifest today when but doz
en- members of the house appeared
and most of those were scheduled to
speak. The debate was opened by Cox
of Ohio, who pleaded for reduction
of the duties on sewing machines,
and also declared the maximum and
minimum clauses were not worth the
paper they were written on.
Referring to the various witnesses
before the ways and means commit
tee, Cox said:
"A protective tariff inspires such a
lust for gain and gold that these men
come here and swear their souls
down to the gates of hell in order to
get a government license to rob the
people"

 Mystery.

PENSIONS NEXT WEEK
The Percentage Paid This Year Will Be Less Than Last Better
 Next Year.

Little Rock, Aug. z5.-E Early next week the pension warrants will be going out, the first book of blanks being delivered yester- day afternoon. There are 0,000 of the blanks and most of these will be filled out by Sept. 10. State Printing Clerk F. w. Hodges, who has charge of tue Confederate pension warrants, has not gone far enough with his work yet to make any definite figures, but he makes ali estimate of from 55 to 65 pei cent for the pensions this year. This Is, ttat the pensioners will receive that percentage of the pension allowed them, as the fund from the pen sion K bears only that propor- ton to the amount of pensions al- lowed by the State Pension Board. Last year the pensioners received 67 per cent, but this year the number of pensioners who se- cured aniycrease or were allowed new pensions, reduced the percen- fape. With an increased taxa tio, next year # IS thought the hig hest percentage eyer paid will be distributed among the pen sioners.

 for Negroes.

Pine Bluff, Aug. 2t.-The soced of the big touring car owned by P. r. Byrd. promi- uent business man If ti..s ci'y, and the presence of mind f E : nest Dawson, the chauff 4ur in charge of the auto. probably say d the lives of Mrs. Byrd and her guests, Mir. and Mrs. Charles R. Fitzhuah, early Saturday evening while they were enjoying a ride ou the macadam road few miles south of Pine Bluff. They were fired on twice by gang of drunk eu negroes. who were returning iu a wagon h their homes after a visit 10 the city. The officers are now looking tor the men and ar rests will probably be made this week.
 The party was fired on as ii was returning to the city at a point near the first big iron bridge on that route. They saw the negroes in the wagon as they wsnt out and one of them shouted something at the passing auto. When they returned, fifteen min utes later, the negroes were out of the wagon. which had been driven to the side of the road, and were standing near the wagon as if waiting for the auto to return. As Chauffeur Dawson neared the wagon he slowed down to make sure of the opening and one of the negroes tired a shotg un into the ar. Realizing that trouble was ahead, Dawson sent the ma chine past the negroes at high spe.d. As they passed the drunken gang another shot was fired, but the machine was away in an instant and the negroes were lett iu the rear.
 The ladies in ibe auto were badly frightened and lbe incident was reported to the police ard county authorities as soon as they return.d to the City.

STATE CHILDREN
School Census Completed and Reported to Department of Education s57,-
 264 of School Age.


 Little Rock, Ark., Aug. 26.-- All counties have now filed their school enumeration with the de- partment of education, tor the year, and show a total of S557,- 264 children of school age in Ar kansas as follows: White males, POI, 1921; females, l93, ,756; negroes males, 80, 299; females, 8l,sSS Totals, white, 395,077; negroes, lb2, lS7; aggregate 557,264.
 The total negro school popula- tiou is little over 9 per cent of the totalschool population. Five counties, Boone, Baxter, Clay and Stone, report no negroes, and in Polk county only Is, Newton county 5, and in Scott county 3 negro children are reported.
 To compensate tkis, however, some of the counties Tn the Cot ton Belt, or eastern portion of the state, show a decided predomi- nance of negro children. For in- stance, il, Crittenden county there are reported 8l4 white and 6,506 negro children, while Chicot shows l,207 whites and 7,479 ne- groes.
 A remarkable thing about the report is the large number of counties showing decrease in the number of school children since last year. This is most pronounced in the counties of northern Arkansas, but is found in every section of the state. The following counties show a falling off in population. the first figures representing the school population of 1908, and the latter showing the enumeration for 1909:
 Benton county, l1,498 to H. 36S; Boone 5, +95 to 5.277, Carroll, 
 6. 594; to 6,394; CIeburne, 3,969 to 3,644; Conway, S,674 tS S,532; Crawford, 9,752 to s,479; Cross, s, ,573 to 4,931; Ca decrease of over 600); Franklin 7,267 to 7,189; Hempstead, 11,157 to 1908; Howard, 5.742 to 5,66e, Izard, s. 206; to 5,l3s; Johnson, 7,22s; to 7,0Sl; Lafayette, 4.724 so s.590: Madisep, 6,570 to 6,31S; Marion, .3, ,S35 to 5,7l3; Newton, 4,3l3 to 4. 296; Perry, 3,524 to :, 326; Poin. sett, 4,0l4 to 3, 9S8; Polk, 6,374, to 6, ,147; Scott, 5.369 to 5,252; Sevier, 6.222 to 6,l19; Stone, B. AT to 3,325; Washington,, l3,- l27 to 12.986.
 Calculating on the customary basis that the total population is 27 times the school population, the above enumeration would give a total population of l,504,- 612 for the state at present, or in- crease of 34,4ll oyer the popula- ton of year ago.
