STATISTICS ARE IMPORTANT
Death and Birth Rate Are Not Kept
 as They Should Be.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 Little Rock.-One remarkable fact in connection with the annual report of the birth and death rate in Little Rock as made by the city clerk is that the percentage of deaths during the year is generally greater than the percentage of births, although the city continues to grow in population.
 Frequently the city collector is ask ed to look up the record of birth or death, and it is not to be found. Just how important it is to make these reports is indicated by the fact that during the recent hearing of the case of the two women seeking pos session of the 3-year-old child in Chancellor Martineau's court a few days ago, City Collector James Law son was required to look up the birth report of the child. This was found, but in many cases such reports are not turned into the city clerks of flee

 State Auditor John K. lobe prob ably will incorporate in his biennial report. which will be issued during the present year, recommendation for legislation giving the state audi tor, in his capacity as insurance con- missioner, supervision over the pre- motion of insurance companies in the state. During the last session Of the legislature, Mir. lobe appeared before the insurance committee of this line, but no action was taken.
 the house and urged legislation along
 Mir. lobe takes the position that the state should protect it's citizens from the operations or unreliable pro- motors of insurance companies, just as it protects them from unreliable companies, after they are organized and begin doing business.
 MI JODS QcCldISu IudI SOlLS uGtuOu of regulating the organization of in surance companies and curbing the operations of professional promoters, who keep for themselves a large part of the money paid by subscribers to the stock of the companies, should be provided. This can be best done, he believes, by giving the insurance department of the state supervision over insurance company promotions.
 Superintendent of Insurance Hotch- kiss of New York is incorporating a recommendation for similar action by the legislature, in his forthcoming annual report according to dispatches from New York. MT. Hotchkiss de- clares that the people of New York and other states have, in recent years, lost more through stock pur- chases in connection with promotions than they have through the purchase of policies in unreliable companies

 DeQueen.-ln the circuit court here Judge Bowling awarded the office of sheriff of Seyier county to John Wal lace, busting J. J. Cowden, the present incumbent The suit was brought by MT. Wallace, who, while serving as sheriff last August, was declared in' sane by the county court and sent to the state hospital for nervous dis eases at Little Rock. In September, Gov Geo. w. Donaghey appointed MT. Cowden to fill the uneXpired term of Sheriff Wallace, who remained in the hospital for one month, returning to DeQueen. Upon his arrival here Sheriff Wallace immediately insti- tuted custer proceedings against MT. Cowden. Judge Cowling held that the passing on the mental condition Of Sheriff Wallace by the county court did not vacate the office and that proper legal proceedings in that di- rection had never been taken, and inasmuch as MT. Wallace was sheriff by virtue of his election, he was still sheriff. Judge Bowling then issued the order commanding MT. Cowden to surrender the office.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Pine Bluff.-J. H. Myers and 5. C. Burlington, well-known planters of Osceola, Mississippi county, were ar raigned before Justice J. A. Frazier here on a charge of 4.entieing labor Myers was fined S25 and costs, the total amount being $40.75. The case against Burlington was dismissed.
 The arrests were the result of the general exodus of negro families ltv- ing on a number of plantations at Altheimer, and the planters of that section alleged the negroes were ping enticed to leave by Myrs and Ed rington, who promised them more money and better conditions. Nearly all the negroes who went to Missis- sippi to work on the river plantations were in debt to the planters at Althei- mer, and it is said that the two men were threatened by a number of men at Altheimer if they did not .leave the town at once. They left.

CITY HAS DYNAMITE SCARE
Quantity of Dynamite Found Under
 "HoIIy Roller" Church.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Fort Snith.-This city was given a dynamite scare when a plant" was found under the Pentecostal mission.
 A stick of dynamite was discovered under the corner of the building with the fuse burned out, and the walls of the building had been saturated with coal oil. All evidence pointed to an attempt to destroy the build ing. The failure of the plan was due to neglect to place a cap on the fuse to explode tre dynamite. This is be- lieved to have been que to the un- familiarity of the plotters with the handling of dynamite.
 Some, however, believe there was no intention to destroy the church, and that the" plant" was made simply as a forcible reminder to the sect that it was not wanted in that vi cinity.
 The Pentecostal mission is a small frame box house occupied by a sec, that is referred to generally as Holy Rollers" The members profess the gift of unknown tongues, and when the church was first located there was much complaint.

 Hartford.-What is said to be one of four cooperative coal mines in the world has been organized at Hart ford About 35 or 40 miners have organized an association and will shortly begin operations on a strip of land near the city. Each miner will own one share of stock in the company, and the profits will be evenly divided. The first considera- tion will be the wages of the men, All worllmen to be employed by the mine must be stockholders.
 It is said that by this arrangement the miners, all of whom are union men, will be able to work should suspension in the fields develop.

JUDGE CHARGES BRIBERY
Drainage Project Official Has Agent
 Arrested at OsceoIa.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Osceola.-Bidders from all parts of the country were enraged when an arrest for bribery was made in con- nection with the letting of a contract for the reclamation of 00,000 acres in the basin of the Mississippi and St. Francis rivers in Arkansas. The man arrested was J. M. Rafter, repre- senting the Central Dredge and Con- struction Company of Columbus, O. Rafter has been here the past two weeks looking over the ground and feeling out, Judge J. T. Coston, at whose name the sealed bids were to come. At the first suggestion of bribe Judge Coston pricked up his ears and took notice and at once and set to work to entrap the would-be briber.
 The terms agreed upon, the judge alleges, were that he was to receive S1,00 from Rafter for giving him the some tangible evidence and it is said secured a draft made out in his name, drawn upon the firm Rafter repre- sents and signed by him, for S75, the balance of $925 to be paid when the contract was let to him. At the proper time Judge Coston took the matter up with Sheriff Hall and Rafter was arrested just as he was preparing to leave on a north-bound train for St. Louis. The statutes of Arkansas prov--- penalty of two years or more in the penitentiary for bribery.
 The work in question, accoring to the Morgan Engineering Company, which made the preliminary survey, is the largest drainage undertaking ever attempted. The estimated cost of the work is S1,4O0,0O0 and involves | the excavation of 14,000O00 yards for ditches, the construction of P steel bridges, IT wooden bridges, one con crete spillway and one pile and tim Der spillway.

FORTlTUDE OF CONDEMNED
One Leaves Penitentiary Weeping;
 the Other With a Smile.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Of the two men Xho were nung aI Osceola on charge of murder, Henry Coates was the braver when the two left the penitentiary With head erect ana no trace or emotion, he started for the scene Of his death. The other man, John McIlvain broke down and cried when the officers came to take him away.
 McIlvain told the officials of the prison one day recently that he hoped he could prove himself man when they put the rope about his neck; he would make a supreme effort he said, but he knew he would have to fight a hard battle to be outwardly calm.
 McIlvain was convicted on the charge of killing farmer in Mis- sissippi county. He asserted he killed the man in self-defense. Coates killed Deputy Sheriff Ferguson; he admits it, and when he left the prison he said:
 If they will let me talk when 9NS Ch bAS oeihOlb, II GeLy 0SlIlS- men, don't say I'm innocent; I'm as guilty as a man ever was that killed a man. But I killed my man to protect my family and my own life. If a man don't protect his family, who will? If I had that day to live again, I'd do the same thing that 1 did then, and ought to be killed if 1 didn't"
 Coates is a small man, and officers at the prison say he is one of the "gamest" men they ever had out there. His face is almost square, and he talks rapidly. McIlvain is tall and has long face and drawls his words
 McIlvain had spent the most of his life as farmer. Coates had spent his as fisherman along the Missis- sippi river. He at one time was a deputy United States marshal.

ARKANSAS CASES SOON
Legal Department Receives Informa-
 ton from Commerce Commission.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Assistant Attorney General w. H. Rector received a letter from the h. terstate Commerce Commission in re- gard to the celebrated case of the Railroad Commission of Arkansas ys. the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway Company It was stated that this case is under the i'm mediate consideration of the commis- sion and will be disp5sed of at an early date. The railroad commission brought suit against the railroad con- pany on two specific charges of un- just discrimination in shipments of coal to c. J. Brockman in Fort Smith in 1909 and shipment of marble to William Miller & Sons, contractors for the work on the state capitol, in 1910. It was charged by the commis- sion that the company refused to re- ceive and switch cars of coal for Brockman consigned over the Midland Valley Railroad Company, as a result of which Mr. Brockman had to unload the coal and haul it some distance in wagons.
 It is charged also that on April 20 and 28, 1910, two carloads of marble, consigned to William Miller & Sons, were received from the Rock Island at the 'penitentiary spur" to be switch ed to the capitol grounds, and that the defendant refused to perform this on the state capitol was delayed 10 days.

Librarians Hold Meeting.

Fort Smith.-An aggressive cam paign for membership and the estab- lishment of libaries throughout the state will mark the work of the Ar kansas State Library Association this year. This was decided upon at the annual state convention which has just closed here. The next session of the association will be held in Little Rock, and as the convention will be held during the time the leg islature is in session, it is thought the organizing campaign will arouse sufficient interest to make it possible to secure needed legislation.
