MINISTER ARRESTED
 FOR BLOCKING STREET

Little Rock, Ark. September 1S.-The Rev. Ben Cox, prominent local min ister and leader in the recent prohi- bition fight was arrested tonight and taken to jail in a patrol wagon be- cause he refused to disperse a gather ing of several thousand persons whom he was addressing on downtown street corner. The arrest of MT. Cox brings to climax a controversy as to the right of city officials to prevent religious gatherings assembling at cer- tain street corners of Little Rock. A recent order of Acting Mayor Stratman, approved by the city council, has abolished the use of Main and Fifth streets, the most frequented thorough fares. Notwithstanding several per sons gathered at the corner in ques- ton tonight the arrest of the speaker followed. He was later released unde, bond to answer to a charge of ob- structing traffic. The issue will prob ably be contested in the courts.

MEXICO CLOSES
 BIG CENTENNIAL


 Laredo, Tex, September 1S.-The cele- bration of Mexico's centennial of nde- pendence was practically concluded here today by a street pageant. Many beau- tifully decorated automobiles, carriages. allegorcal floats and trades displays were in line.
 The greatest of harmony prevailed and the Americans were unstinted in their efforts to make the celebration a grand success.
 The authorities of Nuevo Laredo were met by the authorities from this city on the international foot bridge and felici- tous remarks exchanged. American Con- sul Alonzo B. Garrett welcomed Mexican Consul Miguel Diebold, and in a neat speech referred to the harmony and pro- gressive that had been attained during the administration of President Diaz.
 Consul Diebold responded, thanking the people of the United States, and ex- pressing the hope that the friendly rela- tions would ever be maintained and that the years would more closely ally the two nations.
 The celebration was under the auspices of the International club, and has been so successful that there is talk of mak- ing 1t an annual feature.

SUGAR TRUST WILL
 BE PROSECUTED Kellogg May Take Lead in the
 Trial of Case THE PAPERS ARE READY
THE PAPERS ARE READY
Suit for Dissolution of Trust Is Similar to That Filed Against Stand ard oil and American
 Tobacco

Washington, September 1S-(Special.)- The government will make an endeavor to dissolve the sugar trust under the Sherman antitrust law. The fight will be along the same lines as followed in the Standard Oil cases.
 Frank B. Kellogg, special attorney in tine oil cases may lead the governments fight in the sugar trust case The de- partment of justice has prepared its case and is about ready to file suit.
 The filing of the suit is in the hands of Attorney General Wickersham, who is in New York
 The papers in the suit have been ready for some time. They were prepared by District Attorney Wise of New York. The whole thing has been done so noiselessly that. few officials of the department in Washington knew very little of the suit.
 The suit for dissolution is to be almost identical with those against the Stan dard oil company and the tobacco trust. Both of these cases are pending in the supreme court and will come up for final hearing and argument some time this winter. It has been the understanding that the administration would not tackle any more of the big trusts until the highest court in the land had passed upon the two important cases now pend ing before it. Evidently there has been a change of plans. This is said to be based upon the fact that the informa- tion gained by the department as to the sugar trust shows 1t to be a red-handed volator of the antitrust laws The suit for dissolution will therefore be more sweeping than that against the oil and tobacco trusts, and, it is said, will raise questions that will have to be passed upon by the supreme court. even if that body should decide against the govern ment in the two cases now pending.
 The discovery of the sugar trust frauds in the undcrweighing in the New York customs house and the indictment and conviction of a number of persons con- nected with the concern, together with other indictments still untried against higher officials of the combine, has given the government a greater array of infor- nation than 1t has ever before had against one of the big concerns.
 Attorney General Wickcrsham is said to bo personally directing tho proceeding that will be filed in New York and has told some of the officials of the depart ment that he is immensely pleased with the facts that are at the disposal of the government in presenting the case.
 The sugar trust has been one of the four great trusts under constant fire in the country for the last few years. The trust was organized under the laws of New Jersey in 1901, succeeding 2

by President Taft comprise the arma- ment:
 Ten 14-inch rifles, twelve 6-inch rifles. twenty-eight Pinch mortars. besides an elaborate number of submarine de- lenses.
 Six of the 14-inch ri1es-the most pow erful and costly gun in the world-will be placed in pairs on the Pacific coast and four on the Atlantic, likewise in pairs.
 Although the greatest secrecy is main tained concerning the fortication plans, it is known that the main fort defending the Pacific entrance will be built on Sosa Hill, and armed with four 14-inch rifles, six 6-inch rifles and eight 12-inch mor- tars. This will be named Fort Amador, after the first President of the republic of Panama.
 Two other 14-inch rifles will be placed on Iron Hill with smaller artillery. and the islands of Naosa and Perico, in the Bay of Panama will also be fortified with the object of enabling an American fleet to pass through the canal and form in line outside of range of any gun ex- cept on the islands, which in turn will be protected and commanded by the guns of Sosa and Alcion hills. This plan was aQODteu to meet lHt ODJtCllOi Ol Admiral Evans, who pointed out That no matter what Notifications were built, fleet passing through the canal would have to come out one by one, and 1t would be impossible for a fleet to pass from one ocean to another if there were a hostile fleet awaiting it. as the hostile fleet could destroy the vessels as they came out
 Furthermore, the original plans for the 4 kI.z ,,n1 hrxrA al dxr been entirely changed for strategic reas- ons. The locks were to have been built at Sosa, thus affording the greatest pos sible convenience to shipping, but Colonel Goethals has meved them several miles inland to a sheltered position at Mira flores where they are comparatively sale from the fxe of any warship in Panama bay.
 The defenses on the Atlantic side will consist of two twin displacement of IA inch rifles, each reinforced by 6-inch rifles and 12-inch mortars; so that there will be practically four forts in all-two on the Pacific and two on the Atlantic side.
 As on both the Atlantic and Pacific sides. approaching the mouth of the canal is only possible for large ships through A dredged channel 300 feet wide extend ing three miles out to sea. The protec- tion of these cnanneis py supihdih hie mines is easy. On the Pacific side 1t IS also to mine the passages Between the islands in the Bay of Panama so as to prevent an enemy's ships from taking refuge behind them.
 Admiral Dewey, who, as senior member of the joint board of the army and navy appointed in November, 1909 to report on the fortification on the Panama cana approved the above armament is on rec ord as opposed to the principle Of forti' | fcations He said in an interview some | time ago:
 "Fortifications? Why, of course not | As I understand it, the canal Is to b' and should be a neutral commercial path
 way between the two great oceans. T' fortify it would simply result in making | it battle ground in case of war. For l tifcations would be enormously expen | sive and ought not to be erected"

EARLY PLANS CHANGED

Washington, September 1S.-tSpecial)-- Plans for the Notifications of the Pan- anna canal call for a cost of 203, an increase of $9 276.521 over the estimate submitted in 1905 by the national coast defense board, of which President Taft, then Secretary of War, was chairman, were sent to Congress last April.
 The proposed expenditure refers only to s.sea coast defenses for the termini of the canal" IL is also planned to provide "means of defending the portions of the canal other than the termini from at tacks to which the portions might be sub tected by forces operating on land with the object either of getting possession of the canal or of injuring the locks, dams, etc.
 Twenty-fve millions of dollars Is a con- seryative estimate of what the final plans for the combined sea coast and land defenses will call for, and it is not con- sidered improbable that the total cost of the Notifications will be nearer s40,- 100000 than S14,0000O0.

smaller trust then in existence. The trust has immense plants at Jersey City, Boston, New Orleans, Brooklyn, Phila-' delphia and elsewhere. It has a half in- terest in the Western Sugar Refining company of San Francisco and interests In other companies throughout the coun- try. It owns controlling interest in s of the GA beet sugar factories.
 It has been charged with practically controlling the beet sugar industry of this country and it's interest in the sugar cane industry is so extensive as to amount to full control.
 The charge of the government will be that the sugar trust has for years and does now fix the price at which sugar shall sell in this country. It will be charged with using all sorts of question: able methods in cutting off competition, stfiing independent concerns, entering the field and doing everything that will en- able 1t to hold it's grasp on the sugar business and the threats of consumers.
 While District Attorney Wise will file the action, Attorney General Wickersham will assign one of the brightest men of his department to the job of following the suit through the courts. as MT. Wise has too much else to do in New York to handle this case alone.

NEW YORK'S MUNICIPAL
 LANDS BRING PROFITS

New York, September 1s.-'Municipal land ownership has proved the most profitable undertaking New York city has ever engaged in, when land Is judi cially acquired
 Such is the conclusion reached by AL derman Campbell, chairman of the com mittee on parks playgrounds and schools of the New York city commission on con- gestion of population. In a telegram made public tonight he supports his con- clusion with some astonishing figures.
 Nearly all land bought by the city be- fore 1850 has increased unbelievably in as- sessed valuations admittedly below the market price-over the original cost. One case of nearly 95O0 per cent increase with in the past 60 years was found, several cases of from 2000 to 5000 per cent increase in the last 75 years, s5 cases of over 5oo per cent increase and nearly 300 of over 100 per cent increase. The city owns In all 943 sites.

Mr.. Byrd Announces.

In to-day's Journal appears the an
nouncement of Hon. A. M. Byrd
for reelection to Congress-, subject to
the Democrat voters of this, the Fifth
District.
Mr.. Byrd has represented this dis
trict in the National House of Repre-
sentatiyeS for three consecutive terms
well and faithfully, and his consist
uents need have no fear that if elect
ed for the fourt hterm he will contin-
ue to look carefully after their inter-
ests in everything with which he has
to do.
Mr. Byrd is regarded by his collea-
CUES in Congress as one of the fore
most and most substantial exponents
of Democracy in the lower house,
and he has taken rank with the lead
ers in that great body of National
lawmakers, position his consttu-
ents felt he would occupy when
they sent him to Washington as their
representive.
In the discharge of his officia1
duties, MIR Byrd has reflected credi,
upon himself, his District, his State,
the South, and the Nation. Much
might be said in commentator ol
his official career-with which his
constituents are very we'll acquant-
ed-but we deem extensive COM
met by US unnecessary at this time.

Points Regarding the
Census.

The census begins April Is and
must be completed in two weeks
in cities and in thirty days in all
other areas.
The enumerators will wear a
badge inscribed United States
Census, 1910"
The law requires every adult
person TO furnish the prescribed
information, but also provides
that it shall be treated confden-
TALLY, so that no injury can come
to any person from answering
the questions.
The President has issued a
proclamation, calling on all the
citizens to cooperate with the
Census and assuring them that it
has nothing to do with taxation,
army or jury service, compulsory
school attendance, regulation of
immigration, or enforcement Of
any law, and that no one can be
injured by answering the
inquiries.
1t is of the utmost imnOrtance
that the census of population and
agriculture in this state be com
plete and correct,
Therefore every person should
promptly, accurately, and com
pletely answer the Census ques.
tion asked by the enpmeratQrs.

ment of the subsidized political
sheet, whose editor will do the
bidding Of his master at so much
per opinion (turnished), are in
progress already at this early
stage, and in the near future we
may expect to see a newspaper
venture spring up here and there
with "the intention Of being there
to stay" but after a season they
will wither and die, when they
have served their purpose to
walign and misrepresent on the
one hand and to praise and mis-
represent on the other.
The word has gone out from
Jackson, the center Of political
rottenness, that several first
class newspaper men, capable Of
running weekly papers in the
state" can now find opening, and
that ''the openings offer splendid
opportunities for alert, energetic
new paper workers."
God pity the unprincipled little
makeshift of supposed news
paper man who will sacrifice
principle and decency to take
charge of a political sheet and
give space TO most anything that
he is directed to do just for
few paltry dollars. 1t is just
such contemplate newspaper
parasites that dring disrepute to
the newspaper profession, and
cause people who do not know
the circumstances, to discredit
honorable and upright newspaper
men, who are greatly in the
majority in this state. The com.
munity which is infested with
publication of this kind should
suppress it if there is any way
to do so.--Newton Record.
