FRISCO ASKS
FOR MORE TIME
Petition Circulated Asking Rail-
road Commission to Defer
Action Against Company.

A letter was received Monday by
Messrs Witt q Schoonover, attor-
neYs, from Mr.. w. J. Orr, attor-
ney for the Frisco Railway Co., in
which he stated that 1t had been re-
ported that petition had been pre-
sented to the Arkansas Railroad
Commission praying that proceed
ings be instituted against the rail-
road company for the failure to
complete the bridge across Black
River at this place. Mr.. Orr stat
ed in his letter that it was the in
tention of the company to resume
operations as soon as the weather
would permit-that it was a very
uncertain and unsatisfactory busi-
ness to attempt to construct con-
crete piers at this season of the
year, but that the work would be
resumed in the near future.
Upon this statement from Mr..
Orr a petition was circulated and
signed by almost every citizen in
town asking the railroad commits
sion to take no action against the
company at this time.
The citizens of Pocahontas and
the railroad company have been
working harmoniously in the past,
and we trust that the same good
feeling will continue. 1t is very
evident that the company intends
to build the bridge, else the great
expense of constructing the large
pier on this side of the river, the
purchase of lots and right,of ways
and the shipping of bridge material
to the east side of the river would
not have been incurred 10y the com.
pany.

HAD UNIQUE PLAN
TO KILL HIMSELF
Drives His Family away From
Home and Then Commits
Suicide

Walnut Ridge, Feb. ia ter
rlble tragedy occurred here at
o'clock this morning when Will
Forster, man who has been EN-
ployed as laborer for the Phoenix
Oil Company, under a temporary
alteration of mind, ran all of his
family out of the house and then
took double. barreled shotgun,
held it upright between his legs
with his head over the muzzle, pull
ed the trigger and blew the top OF
his head off.
DR.. J. Z. Burns, coroner, came
over from Black Rock, empaneled
a jury and the verdict was to the
effect that Forster came to death by
his own hands from an unknown
cause.
He leaves wife and two sets OF
children, six in number.

CENSUS GIVES
US ONLY I547
POCahOntaS Has Increased 587 in
Ten Years According to
Official Statement

The Star Herald received a mes
sage from Dana Durand, director
of the census bureau at Washington,
ID. G. Wednesday, stating that the
thirteenth census gave Pocahontas
population of l547.
This will doubtless be a great
surprise to many people in Poca-
hontas as it has been generally con-
ceded by everybody that the popu-
lation of Pocahontas was very near
the two thousand mark. But we
are not the only disappointed peo-
pie in Arkansas over the census re-
turns. Very few towns in the state
made the showing they expected and
10 many instances the enumerators
were censured very severely for
their failure to make close canvas,
and in some instances the citizens
have taken it upon themselves to
have the work done over and the
result has been that more people
were found than the census report
gave.
The increase of 5S7 in ten years
is not SO bad, in view of the fact
that Pocahontas has never had a
"boom," but has been growing
steadily all the time. However,
we believe we have at least 200 peo-
pie more than the census report
shows.

TRAINMEN win
IN THEIR STRUGGLE
Supreme Court Held That
Law Regulating Hours
of Service is Valid.

Washington, May 29.-The Su-
preme court today held that the
"hours OF service" law regulating
the employment of railroad opera
tives is constitutional. 1t also
held that the interstate commerce
commission had right to de-
mand monthly statements from
the roads showing the condition
Of the road.
The act made it unlawful for
any common carrier engaged in
interstate commerce TO permit
any trainman subject to the act
to remain on duty for longer
period than sixteen consecutive
hours, or any telegraph operator
more than nine or thirteen hours
according to the time the tele-
graph station was opened for
business. The act also created
periods of rest for the employ ees.
The Baltimore & Ohio railroad
company today attacked the law
as unconstitutional on the ground
that it applied to interstate as
we'll as to inter state railroads
and employees. The order by
which the Interstate Commerce
commission placed the law into
operation was attacked also. The
railroad claimed congress could
not and did not attempt to dele
gate to the commission the power
to require reports of violation of
the law; that the labor and ex.
pense necessary to make the re-
ports constituted taking Of the
railroads property without due
process of law and thereto in
violation of the constitution; and
/ that 1T compelled self.incrimina-
ton by officers and employees of
the railroad, also in violation of
the constitution.
The objections to the law were
met with denials by the govern
ment. Both the law itself and
the order were drafted by the In
terstate Commerce commission,
were upheld as constitutional by
the circuit court of the United
States for the District of Mary
land, where the case originated.
