PEOPLE VOTED TO
 <., ......! <s s. HANG FOUR MEN
And Governor West, of Oregon, Let Them Hang to Try and Disgust :; Constituency With Capital
 ;,, Punishment:

Salem, Ore, Dec. 13.-Four men were hung in the penitentiary in this city today, despite the efforts to save their lives that are unprecedented. Tn quartet had been under reprieve granted by Governor West for vary ing priods in order that the electorate of the state might have an opportun- fly to pronounce it's verdict whether the men should hang. The verdict was given on December , and was in favor of hanging. Today Governor West turned deaf ear to the score of appeals that he save the mems lives. He declared that he would let hanging go on, as he believed that that was the only way to convince the people of the state that legal hang ngs should be discontinued.
 The men executed were: Frank Garrison, Noble Faulder, H. B. Rob- erts and Mike Morgan, all murderers from obscure counties in the state.

London, Dec. 13.-Whitelaw Reid United States ambassador to Great Britain, is seriously i'll. He is suffer- ing from asthma, and his condition has become considerably worse dur ing the past week. Several special ists are in attendance on him.
 The ambassador was not we'll when he returned from America in october. Afterward he caught cold, from which he was recovering. when he suffered a relapse after delivering his speech at the opening session of the University of Wales at Aberystwith on october 31, which overtaxed his strength. He has been confined to his room at Dor chester House most of the time since

distr ct now stands, Camden is ex- actly in the center. The five new counties roposed are Perry, Yell, Logan, Scott and Sebastian.
 AS matter of fact, since land en- tries can be made at any county seat as we'll ,s's at the government land office, the location of the office is not greatly material. Yet Womble s not even a county seat, but must be reached by wagon from Mount Ida, the county se-t of Montgomery coun- ty.
 But the ridiculous part of the claim made by Womble, as to being centrally located is shown when one consults the map of Arkansas. As- sume that these five counties be sdd- ed, and that Womblc is named as the seat of .he land office. There is no railroad connect on from any. one of them into Womble ls'ave by long and circuitons journey.
 For instance, from points in Lo- gan County, one must go from Par is, the county seat, to Fort Smith, thence to Little, Rock, thence to Cur don, thence to Womble over the one train-a-day road that runs from Cur don to W'omble Th'e only other route is to go to Fort Sm tn, thence to Texaritna, thence either to Cur don CT 10 Camden, thence to Womble. A trip of several hundred miles over either route.
 { Frcm points in Scott County, one
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1912-12-14

must go to Heavener, Okla, take the K. c. S.. Ry, to Texarkana, thence to Gurdon CT Camden, and thence to Womble. A trip of several hundred miles, and requiring many changes and delays. !
 From Points m Perry or Yell coun- ties, the trip must be made by way of Little Rock and Gurdon; around three parts of a circle to cover a small stretch of territory without a railroad.
 From points in the Southern and, Southeastern counties included in the district, the trip to Womble would be B. nightmare of changing trains and riding over jerk-water roads. It sounds like joke; but is in reality as frightful contemplation.
 On the other hand, Camden is in the exact center of the present dis trict. Is reached by both the Cot ton Belt 'and the Iron Mountain roads, and the Rock Island is building a new road into the city from Malvern and Hot Springs.
 The authorities at the government building here state that, instesd of there being any likelihood of moving the office to WcnIble, there is reason to believe that the federal govern ment contemplates creating new federal district, whose court and of ficers will be stationed in Camden. In that event the government build- ing will be enlarged to afford quar- ters fer the officials, and court room and off ces for the district { court.
 If the matter is taken up before the commissioner of the general land of- flee, as stated in the printed sdis- patch, representatives from the Cam 'den Board of Trade will be heard, and they confidently assert that they will laugh the proposed , matter out of court.
