An Impeachment Petition.

Recently editorial comment ap-
peared in these columns suggesting
that If the courts of Indiana acted
properly in holding as kidnappers
certain persons in connection with
the j. ]. Mcnamara arrest and ex-
tradition, action should be taken
against Governor Marshall, of In
diana and Judge Collins, of Indian
apolis, who gave the accused man
little, II any, opportunity to be
heard. They acted hastily in the ex-
tradition matter, in fact with so
much haste that newspapers at the
time virtually declared that they
really acted before 1.-THE arrest was
made. AT least, 1t was stated, that
Judge Collins was in what may be
termed. conspiracy as was also
Governor Marshall as both were
waiting only for the arrest to be
made and a short time after that
the man under arrest was being
speeded to Los Angeles.
That some kind of action would
he taken the Telegram felt conf
dent as it fully recognized. If the
press reports were true, that Gov
ernor Marshall and the Judge in the
case had acted with unseemly
haste, and developments show that
this newspaper had clear insight
into the matter. An initial move
was made Saturday afternoon, when

Arbitration and Industry,

DR.. Charles P. Neil, United States
commissioner of labor, writes as fol-
lows concerning arbitration in labor
difficulties:
There has been steady growth
in the conviction that the mere re-
sort to test OF strength embodied
IN strike or lockout, was about the
least satisfactory, IF not the most
oarbarous way that could be devised
for adjusting a labor controversy.
at is useless to close our eyes to
the fact that questions win always
arise upon which no agreement is
possible and in which the final set
tlement can only come through a
test of brute strength.
But while it is futile to expect
the entire elimination of strikes in
any immediate future, they can be
so minimized as to become the rare
exception. Mediation is the method
and l believe the present trend OF
both labor and capital is in that d.
rection."
Commenting upon this utterance
the Wheeling Intelligencer points
out some interesting facts as fol.
lows:
in one of the great trades in this
country. employing in all its
its brancehs nearly 100000 Skilled
workmen, strikes have been prac.
tically eliminated. In the printing
trade there has been only one great
strike in the last ten years, and
that involved only one branch of the
trade. The great newspapers of the
country havo almost without excep-
ton established the principle of ar.
'oitration between themselves and
their employees. A satisfactory ex.
perience extending over many years
has demonstrated generally the
beneficial results of such a policy.
During the last six years the av,
erage of wages in the printing trade
has constantly advanced and the
hours of labor have been shortened
This has been in accordance with the
general trend of industrial condi,
tions. These advances and conces.
sions have been secured either by
voluntary offer or by mediation
Strikes involving loss of time, loss
of wages and loss OF product have
been reduced TO a minimum. 1t is
too soon to say that the arbitration
principle has been an unqualified

DIR. Wiley Scores.

although he has been much ma
ligned and ridiculed in his efforts to
protect the health aHd vigor of the
nation, DR.. Harvey w. Wiley has ct
last been officially endorsed in one
of his claims. Recently Dr.. Wiley
made AN exhaustive investigation of
saccharine and reported to the de-
partment OF agriculture that its use
was deIeterious to health, tending to
ruin digestion. In accordance with
this report, the department has IS
sued an order that will render the
use of saccharlne unlawful after
July 1.
Before adopting DR.. Wiley's report
as to saccharine, the department OF
agriculture submitted it to the REM
sen board, headed by Ira Remsen OF
Johns Hopkins university. After ex-
haustlve experiments, this noted
board upheld DR.. Wileys findings.
Saccharine has been used as a SUB
stitute for sugar in more than thirty
classes of foodstuffs and the de-
cision is far reaching. The substance
thus placed under the ban is a dis
tillate OF a derivative of coal tar and
is 800 times as sweet as sugar. It's
use naturally effected savings OF
thousands of dollars to manufac-
turers and the order prohibiting 1t
is regarded as the most important
ever issued under the pure food ac,.
DR.. Wiley is man of highly spe-
cialized scientific training and his
zeal in the public service should re-
ceive the public support.

In view of the fact that there is

MERCHANTS WILL
JOIN MOVEMENT
ASSOCIATION READY TO GET IN
TO TIE PROPOSED CHAMBER
or COMMERCE
CONFER WITH KOEPLER
Trades C0uncii, Lawyers, Real Es-
tate Men, Bankers and Doctors To
Be Invited to Cooperate.

A full meeting TO the executive
body of the Retail Merchants Associ-
alton was held yesterday afternoon
at $3.50 o'clock in their quarters in
the Citizens Bank Building to meet
with w. e. e. Keopler, Secretary of
the Board of Trade, for the purpose
of discussing plans by which the
Board of Trade could broaden out
and accomplish more good Work
through the formation of what may
be known as a Chamber of Commerce
or any other name that may be de-
cided upon. The purpose of such
organization is to embrace all other
organizations of the city; namely
the Cotton Exchange, Retail Merch-
ants Association, Real Estate Elk
change, Bankers Clearing House AS
sociation, Freight Bureau, Agricul-
tural Bureau, Medical Society, Bar
Association, Manufacturers Exchange
Builders Exchange and Trades Coun-
Gil.
Mr.. Keopler outlined plans which
he had given considerable thought,
and which will no doubt be adopted
in the very near future. The plans
of this organization will be very SIM
liar to these of the Chamber Of Com
merce of Fort Smith and other cities
that are accomplishing such good re-
suits.
At a meeting of the Retail Mer-
chants Association held early in the
year a committee was appointed TO
confer with the Board of Trade rel
alive to such plans, but just at that
time the committee failed to find
conditions ripe.
The meeting yesterday was an en-
thusiastic one, and Mrs. Keopler's
plan heartily endorsed. AS result
President w. D. Hearn stated that
he would entertain motion that the
old committee be reappointed. A
motion to that effect was seconded
and carried and the President reap
pointed E. NJ. Schober, John Reap,
J. B. Simon and Secretary A. V.
Dunn to meet with Mr.. Keopler and
a committee appointed at a very re-
cent meeting of the Board of Trade,
and to call on the other organlza-
tons with the view of their affilia-
ton in perfecting this one gigantic
commercial organization.

OWNERS HAVE SIGNED Pc.
Triton FOR PAVEMENT.
WORK SOON TO BEGIN
CreOs0ted Blocks Will Be Used-V. o.
Alexander Meets With Success
After Determined Effort.

V. o. Alexander, who has been
working faithfully for several weeks
to secure the signatures Of property
owners to insure the paving of West
Barraque street, from Mulberry
street to Bellwood and st. Joseph's
cemeteries, announced last night that
large majority of signers, repre-
senting majority of property own
ers in value in this city, had been Sc
cured.
On next Monday night the city
council will name the commission
ers for the new paving district, which
was created several weeks ago.
With two or three exceptions, Mr..
Alexander says, every wealthy prop
erty owner, women as we'll as men,
have signed the majority petition. Mr..
Alexander says that while ample sign
atures have been secured and no 9TH
ers are needed, yet those who wish to
sign the popular petition may do SO
by notifying him.
Now that the preliminary details
have been disposed of the final work
will be carried out without delay and
it is expected that actual work of
paving to the cemeteries will be on
in few weeks. 1t is most likely that
creosoted blocks will be used.

INDUSTRIAL PARADE
TO BE FEATURED
WHITE WAY DAY" TO BE THE
OCCASION FOR A LARGE
GATHERING.
MAY SELECT AUGUST 26
Ornamental Lights Being Placed Ra.
pidIy-12S Have Been Gem
tracted For.

Secretary w. E. e. Koepler, Of the
Pine Bluff Board of Trade, and Minor
Woodward, an attache of the Pine
Bluff Corporation, who have the
"White Way" celebration in charge,
are working earnestly to give Pine
Bluff one of the biggest celebrations
pulled off in this city in many months.
The big show is being planned for the
day and night upon which the new
ornamental light posts are to be il
though it is impossible at this time
to tell the exact date upon which the
lights will have been placed and the
current "cut in" it is believed that
Saturday. August &c, will be the
eventful day.
Mr. Koepler and Mr. Woodward
spent yesterday calling on local in
dustrial plants and discussing the
celebration with them. They are
planning to have all the industrial
plants In the city represented in a
mammoth industrial parade, in which
merchants and manufacturers of this
city and section will also take part.
They are arranging, if plans carry, to
have some beautiful floats in the par
ade and it is expected that many
electrical floats will be among them.
The Board of Trade will advertise
the "White Way" opening etensive-
ly at all towns in South and South
east Arkansas. They hope to have
thousands of visitors in this city on
that day and an effort is being made
to give them an attraction that will
merit their attendance.
At present there are 1928 ornamen-
tai light posts contracted for. They
are being placed as rapidly as pos
sible. Mr.. Woodward stated yester-
day that the impression that prevails
among some that few West Barraque
street business men had not con-
tracted for the ornamental posts
was without foundation, as a major
ity of them have contracted for the
posts and are enthusiastic over the
advertising that the will deri! e
from them. He says there are few
business men on West Barraque
street who have not contracted for
the ornamental posts, but believes
they will do so before the opening Of
the white Way"
Secretary Koepler, of the Board Of
Trade, is arranging to have Pine
Bluff advertised free of charge In
at least fifty magazines and trade
journals through it's 'White Way
movement He will take a number CT
pictures of the white Way" streets
and the industrial parade, if it is
brought about, and will send num-
Der of descriptive articles to trade
papers and magazines, fully exploit
ing Pine Bluffs progressive and up
to-date methods to attract new resi-
dents and advertise itself to the out
side world.
