INCOMES DENIES
 PATRONAGE REPORT

Little Rock, Nov. 2O.-Several pa pers printed a dispatch from Fort Smith Sunday stating that Frank Me Combs, chairman of the Democratic national committee, and a close friend of President-elect Woodrow Wilson, had stated that he would control the Arkansas patronage under the incom- ing national administration on ac- count of being native of the state. Ielegrams were received in Little Rock yesterday from Mir McCombs denying the statement in toto, saying that no one had authority to make such a statement. He said he would like to knok the name of the man who wrote the article, in order that he could denounce him personally through the public press.

SOME DIFFICULTY IN
 SECURING FRANCHISE

Little Rock, Nov. 22-After work ing for seven years on an interurban line between Little Rock and Hot Springs, and finally financing the pro- ject, L. Garrett and his associates are finding some difficulty n securing from the city of Little Rock just the sort of franchise they desire.
 The ordinance has been read once in council and referred to a special con- mittee which held it's first meeting Thursday afternoon at the city hall There were about 9 interested prop erty owners present, many of them to protest against running the car tracks on their streets, although they were in favor of the nterurban if it were built on some other street. That the franchise will be granted is practic- ally assured, but it will require sev- eral weeks of conferences in commit tee and council to whip the franchise into shape.

Emperor constantlne's Edlot.

The celebration of the 1600th anni. versary of Constantine's victory at Milvian Bridge and the promulgation of the Edct Of Milan, which gave legal recognition to Christianity, will be made the occasion of imposing pill grimages to Rome. The bishops of the entire Roman communion have been invited to participate in fetes that are being prepared for on a large scale by a local Roman committee
 The success of the celebration seems already assured. The program will be marked by a series of relig- ious ceremonies to take place in the various baslicas and catacombs. A large extent of ground is to be bought outside the Porto del Populo, near the Milvian Bridge, and on it will be erected a new basilica commemorate Ing the victory of the Cross. The city has been rapidly building up in this direction of late years and the new basilica will serve as a parish church for this new neighborhood- The Churchman.

AVIATORS IN THE DESERT
Enthusiasts Have Made Plans for a Regular Service Across the
 Sands of Sahara.

The Desert of Sahara seems to have a fascination for the aviators, who have made ambitious plans for estab- fishing regular particularly for military purposes-across the sands to Timbuctu.
 One of the chief obstacles i3 the diff ficulty of reaching a machine that has come to grief. The sand in many parts of the desert is so soft that it is al most impossible, except by the broad footed camels.
 One of the enthusiasts at Biskra has devised an automobile for desert work that seems to promise solution. It is driven by an air propeller, like those on aeroplanes. and is mounted on a triangular skeleton body each corner being supported by two large-tired wheels which are so mounted that they can adapt themselves to very irregular surface.
 The entire weight, including 50- horse power engine, is only TOO pounds

CRABS NOW GETTING SCARCE
Maryland Expert Says Crustaceans Are Doomed to Fate of Terrapin
 Unless Conserved.

If protective measures are not adopt ed and enforced the hard and soft shell crabs, which have been abundant in the Chesapeake bay and it's tributaries will meet the fate which has over- taken the terrapin, which awaits can vasback ducks and which at times has threatened the oyster.
 This declaration was made by Swep- son Earle, typographical engineer of the shellfish commission who has made a study oa the grabbing indus try and who was delegated by the late Gov. Brothers to suggest remedial leg islaton, asserts the Washington Star. A bill was prepared meeting MT Earle's views and was submitted to the last Maryland legislature, but it got tangled up with tie opposing oy- ster bills and never emerged from the pigeonhole of the committee on Ches- apeake bay and tributaries.
 The best evidence of the scarcity of crabs is afforded by prices at Crisfeld. the main shipping point" continued MT, Earle. Prices for soft shell crabs has been as high as $125 a dozen at Crisfeld during the season, though there was decline the last few days. Only a few years ago soft shell crabs at Crisfeld sold as low as 25 and 50 cents a dozen. In the waters of Anne Arundel county only few years ago a man could easily catch four barrels of hard crabs in one day. He is for tunate now if he can catch one barrel a day"
 Crisheld as a shipping point (the most extensive in the world for crabs) shipped in 1910, estimated, 120,OO0,O00 soft crabs.
 It is believed by most watermen that the crab, like the diamondback terra pin, which was once so numerous in this state that the slaves objected to being fed on them more often than once a week, is not beyond exter- imitation.

Sailor Left to the Ocean.

| The crew of the ship Inveravon re- lated a gruesome tale of the sea on their arrival at Queenstown the other day from Wallareoo, laden with wheat. When rounding Cape Horn, the atten- ton of the crew was directed to quite large number of albatrosses, and other sea birds, fighting over a dark object in the water. With the aid of telescopes, it was seen that the birds were diving at the dead body of a seaman, who had been drowned. It was seen that the clothes on the body had been torn, and that the birds had picked large pieces of flesh from the remains. The weather was stormy and nothing could be done to recover the body in order to give it decent burial

MARATHON UP A MOUNTAIN
Test of Endurance for Vigorous Swiss Athletes Is Race Up the
 Stanserhorn.

A Marathon race up a mountain in the Swiss Alps is test of endurance to which only the most vigorous among professional mountaineers would care to submit themselves.
 The first event of this kind took place the other day, and despite the obvious difficulties, proved a great sue. cess. The mountain selected was the Stanserhorn. 6.236 feet above the sea level, and the difference in altitude to be covered was roughly 4,700 feet; the starting point, the little town of Stans, being some 1,500 feet above the sea
 About 1,500 spectators took the funicular railway up the mountain side, or made a leisurely ascent on foot to cheer the winner, who proved to be Karl Hug. a young Swiss Alpin- ist of Alpnach. his time being l hour and minutes. The second arrival took eight minutes longer, and the last of the 52 competitors finished 45 min utes later.
 The promoter of the race was a wealthy German who has offered val uable prizes and who rather fancied himself for the championship. He was greeted with sympathetic cheers when he arrived, pulling and blowing at the goal. half an hour after the last com petitor, and innocently asked If any of them had been sighted yet "-New York Sun.
