FEDERAL CONTROL
 OF DRAINAGE Governor Elect Robinson Advocated it in Speech
 At Blytheville,
PETTY R1vALRIEs REPORTED IS CREDITED
Menace to Good Government, lie Says. and He Urges Selection of
 General Board.

Blythevlle. Ark, Aug. 27.-In a speech here tonight Congrasslna Joe T. Robinson, Democratic nominee Tor Governor advocated the federal control of drainage and the reelam- alton of the Mississippu river from overflow. He says the time has come When some feasible method must be devised to control the flood waters, not alone for the protection of the contiguous territory but for the utilization of the waters 1or ir- rigagion and the generation Of power.
 MT. Robinson insists that the task Of maintaining levees is too great for the localities immediately effect ed, and the general government should assume control of the whole Mississippi river levee sys em.
 Federal con5rol,' he said, 'is de- sirable for many reasons. It will as sure uniformity of plan and pur- pose. Under the existing system some degree of uniformity has been brought about by means of conference between representatives of the diff ferent levee systems. It is clear however, thai if the government as- sumes control new levees will be located on permanent lines with a view to maintaining the system as a whole
 Again, federal control will in the end guarantee the success of the .evee system and the protection of the valley from the overflow. While it IS not contemplated that the entire burden of the expenses shall fall oa the nation, it is true that the federal government has the resources to provide adequate leyees, to re-en- force them speedily when threatened, and to protect them from damage and destruction. Another advantage from federal control will be the elimina- tion of politics and petty riva'ries and jealousies which now embrace local boards and make them in this state a menace to good government"
 He recommended that plan of fed eral control be made by a conference of commissioners from the various le-, vee district boards, to be submitted to' the legislatures and Congress. A gen. eral board should be selected, one half by the states and one-half by the general government, to be com posed in part at least of skilled engi- neers.

Local and New York Off, cials Insist That l.. & N.
 Has Not Bought.
Rumored Here llhat iI}ig Improve meEts Have Stopped and Big
 Orders Cancelled.

Although the report that the Louis- ville and Nashville Railroad had talk en over the Cotton Belt lines was strongly denied in New York Monday yesterday also by prominent officials of the Cotton Belt in Pine Bluff, the rumor will not down and other rum- ors, which strengthen the first report, continue to gain circulation in this city which is an important Cotton Belt point.
 Statements from men, who are in position to know, made quietly in this city Tuesday greatly strengthen the rumor of the big deal and give addi- tional credence to the stateme nt of Chairman Mayfield, of the Texas Rail- road Commission, who stated Monday that the deal had been consummated.
 It was stated here that the Cotton Belt had cancelled big orders for roll- ing stock in recent weeks and that costly improvements at various points l stopped. Whether these developments indicate that the road has passed in- to other hands or not, those who knew of them were unable to say. But they ordinarily are not looked on as being without cause
 Pine Bluff business man, who are &bo |. ...J, are muchly interested in the rum0rs that are no way general regarding it. The opening of the Panama Canal Is said to be the main reason for the "Ellen-N" deal..
 A New York dispatch says: From Henry Walters and other
 sources it was absolutely denied
 tonight that the Louisville and
 Nashville would take over the Cotton Belt.
 There is no foundation what ever for the statement that the
 Louisville and Nashville con-
 templates buying control of. the
 Cotton Belt road, is the way an
 official statement reads. Not
 withstanding this, shares of the
 St. Louis Southwestern went to
 new high records on the expecta-
 tion of the acquisition of the lat
 ter road by the Louisville and
 Nashville.
 .j Edwin Gould, chairman of the executive committee of the St.
 Louis Southwestern, is still in
 Bar Harbor, and prominent direc- tors of the Cotton Belt road are out of town, so it was almost im-
 possible today to obtain confirma-
 tion of the report from Austin,
 Tex, that officials of the Cotton
 Belt had notified Chairman May r field of the Texas railroad com
 mission that the property was to
 be turned over to the Louisville z and Nashville.
 f Bankers identified with the Cot
 ton Belt had no information on & the subject, and were rather
 doubtful of the possibility of
 transfer of control.

IS A PUZZLE TO SCIENTISTS
Theory Of Atomic plsintegration Of
Radium Suggests Large Number
Of Unanswered Problems.

The greatest OF our scientists know
little about radium." remarked Prof
II. ID. Blackie. OF the University OF
California. The theory Of its atomic
disintegration has suggested a large
number OF problems. some OF which re-
main unanswered. For instance. there
Is a mystery concerning the nature OF
the ultimate product or products OF
the atoms OF the two primary elements
OF radiuu-uranium and thorium.
There Is some ground, but no positive
proof that lead Is the ultimate product
OF one, but as to thorium there Is no
solution.
Even the origin OF radium Is IN
known. We know that It is an ele-
ment OF intense activity and Of great
rapidity of disintegration. resembling
its short-lived and active constituents.
The period Of the average life OF
radium is not accurately known, but
II can not be more than a few thou.
sand years, some say $500 years. Thus
in a few centuries all the radium In
existence ,today will be gone. What
there was Of II in the world. say at the
time Of the building of the Pyramids
must have largely vanished by this
time through disintegration."

David Harum Out Harmed" in Chicago

rHfCAGO.-when Samuel Baker
~ HOG South Wood street, had to
knock down part of his barn. and re.
build It to get back on its feet q
horse which he had recently pur-
chased he decided that he had been
swindled by one Harry Goldstein, 1924
South Robey street, and brought suit
against him.
How David Harum was out-Ha-
ruined was shown at the hearing be-
for Municipal Judge Dolan. The horse
had been guaranteed to be able ito
lie down and get up" According to
Baker, the animal could lie down, all
right. but getting It back on its feet
again was like moving the Alps.
{ Baker testified that he had tried
the horse for one day. but had neg.
,lected to test II on the Lying down"
proposition. He said he returned the
horse to Goldstein and, after some
dickering, in which the purchase price
was reduced from S125 to $50. the deal
was closed.
When he placed the animal in his
stable for the night. the horse lay
down. 1t still was lying down when
Baker went to the stable the next
morning Baker pulled and tugged

Every time the horse was raised Q
few inches II fell back harder and was
imbedded deeper in the straw.
II couldn't bulge him." Baker told
the court. "The horse lay there sort
Of helpless. Finally We had to knock
out part of the barn and drag him
out"
Baker said he then returned the
horse TO Goldstein and demanded his
money back. Goldstein testified that
he bought back the horse from Baker
for $40. This was denied by the
complainant, who alleged that Gold
stein sold the horse to another pur-
chaser for $55. Goldstein said that
when the horse was returned It
showed signs of Ill treatment, and he
offered to prove to Judge Dolan that
It could both lie down and get up las

witness the exhibition.
