May Settle an Old Score.

Under the deficiency bill to be passed by congress this year, Arkan- sas will be freed of the $115,000 ha- tiOnal guard equipment bill, which the government has held over it for 40 years, growing gradually each year Adjutant General Green has returned from Washington, where he went to make an effort to have this old obligation removed. For 10 years, up to 1904, no annual settle ment was made with the war depart, ment for supplies sent to the Arkan- sas national guard The supplies were used up and worn out, and still no credit was given for them on the books of the war department, t.r they were not viewed by a board of survey and a report made to the de partment. The cause for this was that no separate adjutant general was appointed by the governor, the business of the national guard be ing attended to by an already over worked secretary of the governor.
 In 1904 the private secretary of the governor began to carry out the or ders of the war department and a board of survey checked up the books and reported on the $115,000 worth of missing supplies. The secretary of war declined to mark off the ac- count, stating it was of too great magnitude. It then remained for a bill to go through congress to grant relief to the Arkansas national guard, but up to the present time nc member of congress has introduced the bill. General Green, during his visit to Washington, arranged with Congressman Floyd of the Third dis trict to take the matter up at once and an effort will be made to care for it in the deficiency bill which will be passed at this session of con. gress. From 1904 until the present time the Arkansas national guard has made an annual report of sup plies on hand, and received credit for the amount worn out and used up. There is no danger of a repeti- tion of the past evil.

FEDERAL CONTROL OF SPRINGS.
Interior Department Says This Action
 Is Necessary.


 Is Necessary.
 Washington D. C.--Hot Springs, Ark, will never become an ideal health or pleasure resort unless the United States can exercise complete administrative jurisdiction over the entire region now covered by the city of Hot Springs, the contiguous territory and the government reser- vation, according to a report to Sec retary Ballinger by Clement s. Ucker, chief clerk of the Interior Depart Ment, who recently investigated the conditions at Hot Springs,
 MT. Ucker advises that steps in the way of reform must originate with the state of Arkansas.
 The divided responsibility. he con- tinued, resulting from the national government controlling the reserya- tion and the municipal government administering the affairs of the city, has given rise to an administrative situation redounding to disadvantage of the visitor and patient.
 MT. Ucker scored the hygienic con ditions of a number of the bath houses. The most important sugges- ton for their improvement was that a medical director be appointed per sonally to supervise the sanitation, ventilation, hygiene, attendants and mechanical apparatus Of the bath houses and to see that doctors pre- scriptions are properly followed

Takes Appeal on the PeddIna Act.
 A. C. Crenshaw, who was recently fined $200 in the Union county cir cult court on a charge of violating the antipeddling act, passed by the recent legislature, has appealed his case to the supreme court. Crenshaw was fined for failing to pay the li- cense required by law for peddling. He was engaged at the time of his arrest in selling certain patent stove in Union county. The case is similar to that of w. H. Byles. who was fined $200 in the Independence county circuit court for selling ve- hicles without paying the license re- quired by the statute. Byles ap- pealed his case to the supreme court, which affirmed the judgment of the lower court, upholding the validity of the statute. Recently the case was taken to the United States su- preme court for the purpose of test ing the consitutionality of the act on the ground that it interferes with the interstate commerce act.

EXPLOSION IN Mine
HEARTRENDING SCENES AS MU.
TILATED BODIES COME UP.
Force of the Explosion Was Ter
rife; Many Bodies Were
Unrecognizable.

D~rakeSboro, Ky.-With crepe hanging
on every other door along the two stray
Cling streets Of the little mining town OF
Browder and motley funeral cortcges
headed by all sorts of improvised hearses
moving toward tie cemetery, Wednesday
was largely given oven to placement o,
deaths work in the Elk Valley coal mine.
There was no attempt at holding divine
services over the mangled bodies.
Rescue parties were going up and down
in the mine all day, but no further finds
were made during the afternoon, the
last body being brought up at 1890 pm.
This brought the count of the dead to
thirty-four, with one man, Foreman Peter
Kelly, missing. The count made by mine
officials this afternoon definitely fixes
the total as above stated. Fifty-hve men
were i'll the area affected by the expo
sion and OF the twenty who got out alive
scarcely one was Unhurt.
As a result of the disaster, all of the
mines in the vicinity closed down today,
the men offering their services in lescue
work.
The news Of the explosion spread rap
idly and in a few moments the people Of
the little mining town were crowding
around the shaft wildly. Women and
children, almost crazed with grief, plead
ed with those in charge Of the mine for
news of their loved ones, and it was al
most impossible to keep the mouth of
the shaft @'"ar Fortunately the fire,
which started by the explosion, died out
quickly, and the fans were at once set in
motion. A few moments after the disas-
ter a relief party, headed by Andrew
Hogg, sice-president and general manager
of the Elk River Coal Company, and
composed of the men who had escaped
from the mine, az we'll as numbers of
miners from other workings, entered the
wrecked shaft.
The rescue party found a scene of de-
struction that left no doubt as to the
of the men. The first bodies recov-
cred were in fairly good condition, the
men having been smothered to death and
not mangled by the explosion, but as
the party pushed on they found bodies
so mutilated that they were u%nrecogniza-
bio. Cars and debris of all descriptions
had been scattered about the mine by
terrible force of the explosion.

liabilities, including stock, of approx.
mately $37, O0OO,0 00.
The assets were not announced, but it
is estimated that they are in excess of
the liabilities. The company will con-
tinue to operate its plant as usual. Henry
De Kay was appointed receiver by Judge
Lanning in the United States Circuit
Court in New Jersey this afternoon.
The appointment of Il receiver was not
brought about by any conditions in the
live stock market, but the tying up of
part of the company's funds in the
United States Banking Company in Mex
leo City, which suspended recently, was
responsible for the trouble.
Among the concessions held by the
company is an exclusive right to slaugh-
ter cattle in Mexico City until 1926. It's

Acknowledgements from upper Yer

dredge and snagboat Delatour is IN
ployed opening up the stream, are to
the effect that much less work has been
encountered than was anticipated. The
boat has proceeded to within three miles
of the railroad bridge at Lafayette, and
so far it has not been found necessary
to do any dredging, though hundreds Of
logs and snags have been removed from
the bed of the river. With no new con-

from the federal government for the land
coded for the creation of the states Of
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and a
part Of Minnesota. 1t is claimed that
the condition of the grant has been vio-
lated, that the parccled land was put to
local purposes instead of being for the
use and benefit of the other states of the
federation" as was originally intended.
Kentucky was a part of the Old Do
minion at the time, us was West Vir-
ginia. The information reaching mere is
that each of the states would be entitled
to about one-sixth of the amount claimed
by Virginia, or $4,000, OOO.

into a game preserve.
There are several thousand acres Of
land in Caldwell parish, which. while
not completely approved to the state.
will probably be approved to the state
in the course Of time. and this land
Frank n. Miller of the state game com
mission is anxious to secure for the
commission to make out Of it a game
preserve. The land would, of course.
have to first be decided to the state,
and transferred by the legislature.
through a regular act, to the game com
mission. There would hardly be any
trouble in getting the land from the
United States government to turn over
to the state game commission as the
federal government is always anxious
to encourage such work. The land is
said to be 50 situated that it would be
ideal for the game preserve work.
