DRAINAGE BILL
 TO BE TAKEN UP
Congressman Robinson Reports Senate Bill Extending
 Congress Act.
LET U. s. SHARE EXPENSE
1t Is Doubtful, However, Whether the Measure Will Be Considered by
 the House at This Session.

Washington.-Rep Robin son of Arkansas, chairman of the committee on public lands, by the unanimous consent of the committee, reported the senate bill extending the act of congress approved May 20, 1908, in relation to the drainage of swamp lands in the state of Arkansas. Ii passed, public lands in Arkansas will become subject to the drainage laws of that state and in consequence Will be required to share in the expense Of drainage in proportion to benefit under the laws of the state. It ap- pears that there are considerable areas of public lands in Arkansas ol n swampy character, interspersed with lands in private ownership of sim liar nature, and the private lands can not be drained without also draining the public lands in the immediate To- cality. Since the value of the public lands is also increased by drainage, if is argued that they should be made to share in the expense as well as ln the benefits. It is the design or the legislation to facilitate the drainage which is already being conducted uh- der local laws of many localities ID Arkansas.
 As the session is approaching Its end. it is doubtful whether the meas ure will be considered by the house before next winter.
 The committee approved resolu- tion for investigation and enforcement of the public land laws with view to inaugurating certain reforms ana of revising the public land laws Of the limited States. owing to the number of statutes affecting rights Of way homesteads and other classes or stat utes for the disposition of public lands and conflicting decisions by the lana office. considerable confusion has arisen and much complaint is heard from the public land states.

Attorneys Appeal to Supreme Court

Lake Charles.-Attorneys for Theo. NJ. Landrllm, charged with shooting at his wife, raised a moved point in the case. They based a motion to quash thes proceedings in his case on the contention that the provision ot the state constitution, which provides for the trial of certain offenses by the court without a jury, or provides for legal verdict in which all of the jurors doI not concur is in conflict with the act by which Louisiana was admitted into the Union, which guar antees to the citizens of the state the common law right to trial by jury. Judge Overton overruled the motion, and the attorneys took an appeal to the supreme court. So far as is known, the point has never been raised in this state.

Baby-saving Campaign Planned.

New Orleans.-The establishment of a milk depot at the Woman's Dispen- sary and the launching of campaign of education from two swiftly moving automobiles on infant mortality were the interesting results of confer ence at the home of Mrs. John B. Parker, in which the officers of the Era Club, the campaign committee of the prevention of infant mortality, to- gether with prominent physicians. of the city, who wish to cooperate, par ticipated. It was most interesting meeting, and the burning problem of how to save more of the babies was the theme of the hour. Much good is sure to result from this action on the part of the ladies.

ORDER IF COURT ENDS GAR STRIKE Judges Mandate HaIts What Promised to Be a Bitter
 Struggle.
RESULT IS UNPRECEDENTED
First Time in History of the Country That Labor Difficulty Has
 Thus Been Settled.

Des Moines, Ia.-Promptly at , o'clock Sunday afternoon street car traffic was resumed in this city, and the 40-hour strike was terminated. For the first time in the history of the country the order of a court has put an end to what gave every indi- cation of becoming one of the bitterest struggles ever waged between organ. iZed labor and capital.
 The mandate issued by Judge De- Graf of the district court was prompt ly obeyed by the Des Moines City Railway Company and the Carmen s Union, and while there is ample pros. pect Of fight later in the courts. an injunction has temporarily restored nearly 300 conductors and motormen to their original positions.
 When the strike was first called, much rioting ensues, and in many cases the imported strikebreakers were roughly handled However, most of the strikebreakers quickly left town, and the fire department "tS NoiAtA Odb anu uiSDCt Mllil streams of water the mobs attacking the remaining strikebreakers.
 That a new method of handling Ia. Dor difficulties has been discovered was the statement of N. T. Guernsey, attorney for the street car company, following the acquiescence of the com. pany in Judge DeGraff's order.
 The intervention of the court was acceptable to the Garments Union be. cause 1t gave to the union exactly what it had asked. This was the re. instatement of conductor whose re- cent discharge without an investiga. tion led to the trouble, and the order that arbitration must decide whether or not he is to remain with the com. pany. The suit in equity, which ter. minated the strike, was brought by the city of Des Moines. through its city councillors, upon the order of the city council.

BOARD OF CONTROL OF STATE
 PENITENTIARY RENDERS A REPORT

Baton Rouge.-The board of control of the state penitentiary has received reports from Angola farm Of the splen- did progress that is being made In lay ing by the cane crop. The heavy rains during July prevented the work ing in the field and the cane is now so high that it Is in possible to get in between the rows with blow. The cleaning has to be done with q hoe, but the weather of the past few days has allowed the management to put to work large number of eonviets to cleaning the crop.
 The board has 2.500 acres planted in cane at Angola this year, and all of Oakley, Hope and Monticello planted in cane.
 Good progress is being made in the erection of the sugar refinery that is to be completed by the middle of Oc- tober. Judge Kilgore of the board of control said that he was confident from the progress that was being made in the erection of the building that it would be completed by the date set by the contractors. The new refinery is to be one of the most modern in the state, and, while not the largest, is to be complete in every detail for the handling of sugar cane at the min imum of expense and making the best grade of sugar.
 The board reports that the corn crop on Angola is fine. This year the board tried the experiment of turning some of the corn into pork. A couple of hundred head of pigs were raised. Two hundred head were sold recently at Sl4 head, and the board has about 250 more head which it expects to dis pose of at an early date and get about equally as good a price.

SlxTEEN-MILE GUNS TO
 PROTECT PANAMA CANAL
Government Fertilization Board Sug- gests Long Firers to Sweep the
 Panama Zone.

ington.-Members of the forti- fication board are disposed to recom- mend that one or more 16-inch guns be placed on the canal zone as the keystone of the system of fortifica- tions which will make the great water way impregnable. It is considered probable the monster 16-inch gun stored at Sandy Hook will be trans ported to the canal and placed in po- sition whenever the fertilization works are in condition to receive it.
 This gun could be placed in an eX- ceptionally advantageous position on the isthmus, where it could sweep the water for 16 miles. No armor plate carried by even the superdreadnaughts of present-day construction could re- sist the fire of guns of this type and caliber. Before the enemy's ships could come close enough to the for tifications to start firing it is thought they could be shot to pieces by 16, inch gun in the Qualifications.
 The fertilization board made an in- spection of the canal recently, with Major General Leonard Wood, chief of staff. The theory of the board is that in the event of war an enemy first would strike at the Panama canal and seek to close it up.
 If successful in such an attack, the American navy doubtless would be cooped up in one or the two oceans. This would place the Atlantic or the Pacific coast at the mercy of the at tacking fleet. It is for this reason members of the board believe guns of larger caliber than any on modern battleships should be placed in the Panama Notifications. Members of the board also are disposed to con sider favorably plans for an increase in the size of the guns to be placed in the more important Qualifications on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. It is probable the board will recommend 16-inch guns for some of the more i'm portant Notifications.
