MERRY SCRAP
A Caucus Behind Bolted
Doors Last Night and
Factional Fight is
Now On.

There was Republican caucus.
last night behind closed and bolted
doors. ad II is practically impossible
TO get line on just what was done
and why. According TO the best in
formation It was star chamber ses
sion OF the standpats-which is TO
say the Scott-Hughes contingent.
The ants are for Hubbard 10 n
man and they do not appear TO have
made up their minds yet whether
they are for A. A. Lilly OF Beckley
for congress. or Edward Cooper of
Bramweh. They know. however.
they are not for Hughes. and they
passed an opposition order against
Scott some time ago. There is con-
siderable strength for Lilly among
the insurgents. but probably a ma
jority are In favor OF Mr. COOPER
since he Is a coa'flelG man with a
more or less reliable business head
II is also urged that Mr.. Cooper has
many Democratic friends. and ac-
cording TO report the other day, he
is credited with having said that he
has as many friends among the
Democrats as he has among the Re
pubhcans
The standpats have their slate. and
It Is regarded as pretty certain that
the insurgents are going to have one
also. The insurgents. moreover. are
willing to place small bet or so
that they will be able 20 do some
smashing. Another thing, the stand
pats have not found, out yet to a
dead certainty whether they are wet
or dry, which matter is liable to
figure in local politics. Their posi-
ton. 1t would apear is to find out
which Is the popular side and then
mount the vehicle which carries the
band.
But it's a merry war from the
Democratic Viewpoint.

WAS LOOKING
Up RECORDS
Not Shown BY Seattle Man
that CLAWS Was Guilty
of Any Impro-
priety.

Washington. Feb. 26.-w. w. Barr.
timber merchant OF Seattle. who
has engaged the services OF L. X.
CLAWS since the latter was dismissed
from the Governments employ, was
again on the stand in the Ballinger-
Uinchot hearing today.
1t was attempted TO show by Barr
that CLAWS was guilty OF the same
kind OF imprdpriety he charged
against Ballinger in that he used
his knowledge in the work for Barr
which he gained in government ser
vice.
The fact developed, however that
Barr had simply employed him to
Investigate the records OF some land
claimed by the state of Washington.

HarrOd Funeral.

The remains of Thomas Harrod, the IS year old son of James M. Har- rod. one of the most prominent attor- neys Of Arkansas and member of the special counsel for the state in the rate litigation, who was drowned Thursday in Lake Michigan while bathing, arrived in Little Rock to- day from Chicago, accompanied by the bereaved parents and brother. The remains were taken to the fam fly residence, 2000 Broadway, from where the funeral will take place Sunday afternoon. Young Harrod was a member of the graduating class of the Little Rock High School of 1910 and was somewhat of an ath- lete. He was a powerful swimmer and to him it was mere sport to go away out into the lake while swim. ming. His daring caused his death for he was seized with cramps and drowned in sight of thousands of bathers. The Harrod home was bank ed with floral offerings, sent by friends of the deceased and family, when the remains arrived today.
