Capt. Ivan de Kavously of the Rus.
sian army, who is now on his way to
Rotterdam, was busy every hour OF
the time he spent in New York While
in this country he purchased five mo,
tor boats for the use of the Russian
navy and also placed an order for a
nickel-plated motor boat to be pre-.
scented to the czarewitch by the Off
GERS of the Russian volunteer fleet
The captain said that the Russian
government considers small boats Of
American manufacture the best and
speediest in the world. It is not alone
in this view. Wasn't It to American
builders that the German kaiser en-.
trusted the construction Of his yacht?

HELD WITHOUT BAIL
LangstOn Held and Others May be
Involved in Shirley Murder

Walnut Ridge, June 2S.-Fol-
lowing day of many surprises,
notable among which was the vir-
tual collapse of the defense of j
G. Langston, accused of killing A.
w. Shirley, the aged merchant in
his store at Minturn, March s, the
defendant was held without bail at
6 O'Clock this evening by Justice
Rogers to await the action of the
Lawrence county grand jury.
As though a bombshell had been
hurled into the camp of the de-
Tense, the props were knocked
from under it this morning when
Richard Tueli, of Memphis, thus
far the strongest witness for Lang
ston, was called to the stand by
the prosecution. The young man
admitted that his statement made
yesterday that on the night Shirley
was killed he rode white horse
from Hoxie to Minturn was false.
Under promise of immunity, Tuell
freely admitted that he had not
visited Minturn on the night of the
murder. His only explanation on
cross-examination was that he de-
sired to help out Langston.
Although Langston now faces
what virtually amounts to a charge
of murder in the first degree, it is
not likely that he will be the only
defendant. 1t was openly stated
in the court room that more ar
rests would be made, and it is said
that warrants have already been
issued for the arrest Of two other
persons intimately connected with
the case and closely identified with
the life of the Minturn merchant.
With Assistant Superintendent II.
l.. Mosher of the Pinkerton Detec-
tive Agency on the ground and
the secret service in other parts of
the country working on the mys-
terry, the prosecution succeeded in
presenting a chain of circumstan-
tial evidence which the defense
was unable to dent.

A NEEDED IMPROVEMENT

The city fathers did good
thing in having the town branch
substantially bridged at the alley
at the rear of +. +. Aliens store.
The journal has only one fault to
find with it, and that is that the
concrete wall along the east bank
was not built on down and con-
nected with the wall at the cross
ing at Front street. If this was
done and the street filled in and
leveled it would be quite an i'm
provement and would be we'll

THE PEOPLES SAFEGUARD
Initiative and Referendum Gives
People Voice in Government

How are YOU going to stop it,
No question than this is more
upon the lips of the American peo-
pie, Remark to any average Cit
zen that misrepresentation govern
ment is rife from Maine to Cali
fornia, that our daily revelations
of graft, bribery and corruption
are a disgrace to American citizen
ship, and he will say to you:
Il know that; but how are you
going to stop ito
There is just one way-increase
the power of the people in govern
ment. Make it impossible for laws
to be delayed, or enacted, or val
liable franchises given away, UN-
LESS THE PEOPLE CONSENT.
Give the people the right to vote
on laws as well as lawmakers.
That will spell death to graft be
cause no one will spend money to
pass a law which the people can
veto by direct vote.
That is just what the adoption of
Amendment No 10 will enable the
people to do. 1t Is to be voted on
at the coming election Sept. 18th.
Under its provisions if the peo-
pie want a new law, which, for any
reasons has not been passed by the
Legislature, they can, by means
of a petition have the question
placed on the ballot and enact il
themselves. Likewise if The Legis-
lature passes law they do not
want, they can in the same way re-
jet it at the polls.
This is the Initiative and Refer
endum IN a nutshell. Its use Is
optional with the people. Wher
not needed it is not used but it i,
always ready for use. Votings are
to be had at regular elections. Ne
Jeffersonian Democrat or Lincoln
Republican can object to it with
out betraying distrust in the peo-
pie.
Says Governor Donaghey: Il
am in favor of safeguarding the
welfare of the people of Arkansas
by giving them the option and
power of invoking the Initiative
and Referendum whenever they
deem it to their interest to do so. y
The peoples safeguard"
that is what Amendment No. 10 is.

 He immediately brought suit for the possession of the dogs and in fight be- fore the jury, Hunt won out.
 Sheppard is now up against the al- formative of buying more dogs or pay ing the judgment. Besides, he lacks a team to go back with. He has ap- pealed from the verdict, and will fight for what he claims to be his rights in the matter before the district court.
