HOUSES UNDER THE GROUND.
Dwellers In the Desert Make Prac.
ticaI Use Of Walls Erected by
the Ancient Romans.

Concerning the mysterious under
ground dwellings in the desert back
of Tripoli Hanus Vischer writes in
the Geographical Journal: ION the
northern edge of the mountains the
little land of Gharian, with it's viii
lagos and gardens, stands like an
island among the general destruction.
To this day the old Roman terraces
have withstood the keen wind from
the sea and the winter rains and give
one an idea of the country's former
prosperity. The village of Gharian
lies among ancient olive groves and
large fruit gardens, built on the old
terraces. Ruined castles look down
from every little hill, old Roman or
earlier towers. The present inhab-
itants live in underground houses.
hewn out of the solid rocks, the
ancient dwellings probably Of some
prehistoric race.
"A curious maze of earth mounds,
which rose on either side of the road,
showed the position of the village.
From one of these mounds, the rub
bish taken out of the ground when the
house was built, I looked down into
square courtyard about thirty feet
below the ground, with walls hewn
perpendicularly out of the red rock
| Around the walls several doors and
narrow slit windows showed the diff
ferent rooms. The master of the
house then led us to door which
was built above the ground, like the
entrance to some cellar, and down a
narrow passage or tunnel to the court
yard below. The first apartment we
came to held donkeys and some goats
and was used as stable.
"The living rooms were all white
washed and, like the courtyard, ex-
ceedinely clean. It looked most pic
turesQue-the little house with the
whitewashed arches leading into the
rooms, the red sides of the rock COW
cred partly by fresh green creeper,
and over it all the square Of dark-blue
sky. The inhabitants praise their
houses, for they are cool in summer
and warm in winter, when the cold
northeast wind blows, but they knew
nothing of the original builders"

TO CUT APPROPRIATION BILLS
Governor Will Apply the Axe
Vigorously.
State Guard and Other Measures May Suf-
fer as Result of States
Financial Condition.

Little Rock, May I8.-Special.
"A cut and deep cut is coming
in appropriations which were made
by the last Legislature, and those
who are dependent upon some Of
the appropriations for jobs are now
on the anxious seats. Governor
Donaghey has been exceedingly
busy for the last few days talking
the matter over with fnanciers en-
deavoring to find way to steer
clear of bankruptcy and keep the
state off a scrip basis. He has
consulted with hnanciers from all
sections of the state so as to re-
ceive advice from all quarters be-
fore acting and there are many
rumors afoat as to what bills he
will V, to.
While it is by no means certain
he will veto any of the measures
which will be placed before him,
it is acknowledged that the state
cannot meet all the appropriations
which were made by the legisla
ture which has just closed. 1t
would require more than 81 ,Ooo,
900 more than the present income
to do this. The most persistent
rumor is that Governor Donaghey
will veto the SIS 900 appropriation
for tie Arkansas state guard. The
friends OF the guard urge that he
not veto this bill, as when it was
in the house they made it known
the governor favored the bill.
They also plead that the state re
ceives in cash and supplies, about
$40, 900 annually on account of the
guard, and the vetoing of the bill
would mean its abolition and the
loss of the government money. 1t
is also rumored that the governor
intends to cut in half some of the
appropriations which were made,
and let the balance come later
when the state is in a condition to
meet its obligations.
1t will be several days yet before
the governor makes known his
plans for the financial salvation of
the state, and it is considered we'll
that he take his time for up to
Governor Donaghey has come for
solution the problem which has
been forecasted by state officials
for years, and it must be solved in
a way which will bring order out
of chaos.

moters Of the affair state that the
success OF last year will be mag
nifed this year, but the celebra-
ton will be held on Monday, July

date may be later changed to Sat
urday July 3.
The new fair grounds will be
used for the picnic and if it is pos
sible for the race track to be ready
by that time several races will be
put on the program. The commit
tee is already beginning the invita-
tion of speakers, in order that the
very best may be secured before
accepting other invitations.
The proceeds of the picnic go to
the support of St. Joseph S orphan
age at Little Rock, this method Of

Hampton today lett for Mont
gomery, Ala, accompanied by
Rufus Mcdaniel, the newly elect
ed secretary of the tax commission,
of which he is the chairman. They
will be there to look over the work
of the Alabama commission and
bring back to Arkansas plans for
the commencement of work.
At the same time the Arkansas
railroad commission, accompanied
by its special attorneys, is in St.
Louis going over rate matters with
the auditors of the railroads which
operate in Arkansas, to determine
whether or not the intrastate rev.
enue can be kept separate from the
interstate and the profits of the
same separated in like manner. If
the attorneys are convinced the
railroads have proper method for
doing this, they will probably
agree to the establishment of the
Federal court compromise rates,
and for one year agree to the dis
missal of the suits which are now
pending in the Federal courts.

SUES RAILWAY
FOR $4,000
FROM TUESDAYS DAILY.

The largest damage suit ever
filed in Faulkner county was
brought in the circuit court today
by John M. Church, as next friend
of r. c. Crawford, who sues the
S.. Louis, Iron Mountain & South
ern Railway Co. for $50, 600
damages.
The plaintiff alleges that Gran
ford, who was in the employ of the
defendant company as brakeman,
was struck in the head by a beam
on bridge near Hartman, Ark.
while standing on top of the cars,
in the discharge of his duties. The
bridge, the plaintiff claims, was
too low for a person standing on
top of a car to pass underneath,
and there was no.warning sign or
other notice to the employe as to
its condition. The complaint states
that Crawford skull was fractured
by the blow and that as result of
it he has since heen of unsound

PAID THEM TO
HOLD COTTON
FROM TUESDAYS DAILY.

The last bale of cotton in the
Faulkner County warehouse, some
of which has been in storage for
a year and half, has now been
sold and the warehouse is empty
of the staple for the first time since
it was erected. The few hundred
bales remaining have just been
shipped, w. B. Stark of the Lesser
Goldman Cotton Co. buying most
of the lot. The average price paid
was 10 cents, which enabled the
holders to pay their storage charg
es and still make nice profit over
the price they could have obtained
when tie cotton was first stored.
Up to today, 23,497 bales of cot
ton have been shipped from the
local station, according to the
records kept in that Office. There
are still several hundred bales be-
ing held either by merchants or
farmers and the total shipments
will easily pass the "a 900 mark.

OUACHITA LOSES SECOND.
Cumberland Takes Five-Inning Game by
Score of 8 to I.

Ouachita was defeated at -larks-

CT toI in five inning contest,
the game being called to allow the
visitors to catch train. The
Ouachita boys arrived this morn
ing from Clarksville.
The Ouachita team reported
this morning that the game at
c arksville yesterday would be
protested at the next meeting of
of the executive committee of the
Arkansas Athletic Association.
Arkansas Games May not Count.
According to a statement by
President O. D. Longstreth last
4 night, the games with Arkansas
q college may not be counted, if
they affect the result of the inter
M collegiate series.
Il can only give my unofficial
Aopinion, said Mr.. Longstreth,
II but after talking with other mem
sbeTs of the executive committee,
b y impression is that the games
played between Ouachita and Ark
ansas will be thrown out, provided
That they enable Ouachita to beat
out Cumberland. However, the
n after will have to come before the
60 nmittee meeting on May % for
decision.
Hendrix has won three of four
games with Arkansas and filed a
protest on the fourth game, and
without these games the local team
would have no chance for the pen
nant.
