Little Rock.-In line with a resolu- ton adopted at the recent convention of the Arkansas Good Roads and Drainage Association requesting rhS United States Department of Agri- culture to publish a pamphlet show ing the location and quality of the road material of Arkansas, L. w.

INSURANCE COMPANIES LOSE
Last Day of Filing Statements Passed,
 Percentage of Loss Not Known.

Westels Newspaper Union News Service.
 The last day upon which, under the law, insurance companies could file their annual statements and bonds has passed. All those companies which failed to file their reports within the time prescribed by law have presumably forfeited the right to do business in Arkansas. It will be several lays, however, before State Auditor John R. lobe will be able to determine whether any companies in Arkansas have failed to comply with the law, as it will be necessary to check over all the reports filed in the department.
 It is believed that the reports will show that the fire insurance com panies operating in Arkansas have sustained a considerable loss during the year ending December 31, taking into consideration both the losses and the commissions paid.

Officials of the State Guard and U. s.
 Army Hold Conference.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rock.-A decision to hold an encampment in Arkansas this year, in which two regiments of the Arkansas National Guard and a battalion of reg ular army men will participate, was reached at a conference held by Brig adler General R. D. Potts, commander of the Central division of the United States army, and Adjutant General E. w Green of the Arkansas National Guard Several other important mat ters were settled during the confer ence.
 General Potts submitted the propo- sition to General Green as to whether he preferred to send one regiment of the Arkansas guard to Leon Springs, Tex, to take part in the joint maneu- vers to be held there, as has been done in the past, or put the entire brigade of the Arkansas guard into an encampment in the state. with battalion of United States troops to be assigned to the camp for the pur- pose of demonstrating the methods employed in the regular army. Gen eral Green decided in favor of the plan of holding the encampment in the state, declaring that he believed it better to have the men taught something than to send regiment to Leon Springs. where the officers were trained, but the men taught nothing.

DO NOT BELIEVE CONFESSION
Police Say Prisoner Was Trying to
 Beat Way to New York.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rork.-An attempt to ob- tain transportation to New York is the way the Little Rock police regard the confession" of Ed Thompson, ar rested here, that he was a member or the famous gang of taxicab robbers who recently secured $25,O00 by bold stroke in New York. Chief Cogswell and his officials regard the "confes- sion" as a huge joke.
 Thompson was walking north on Main street when his peculiar actions attracted the attention of Detective Rotenberry. In view Of his later con- fession the police now think he was deliberately trying to attract the at tention of the detective. When ques- became insulting, evidently knowing that this was the srtfest way to be taken to police headquarters. When brought before the detectives at headquarters he hastened to confess that he was bold, bad man and had participated in the taXicab robbery.
 He said that he, with Danny Kelly, Jim Keefe and Eugene Splain, had robbed the taxi and escaped. He said that he was accompanied to Mem phis by Keefe and Sp1ain. Two men supposed to be Eeefe and Splain were recently arrested in the Tennessee city.
 The police regard Thompson's story as interesting chiefly because it shows the lengths 10 which a man will gc to secure transportation to New York

 Little Rock.-Although the rules adopted by the Democratic state con vention for the regulation of state primary elections provide that any eligible Democrat is entitled to en- ter the race for any office and to have his name printed on the ticket up to within 20 days of the election, 1t is re- ported that several counties have al read closed the tickets to be voted upon in the state primary March 27. In these cases, it is said, the county comKittees decided to close the tick cts 30 days before the election.
 Those candidates who have not yet arranged to have their names placed upon the ticket in all the counties were somewhat worried over the sit uation and make hast to get into com munication with the remainder of the counties.
 The state candidates have been con- fronted as usual, by a difficult prob lem in arranging to have their names Dldceu OH lu6 l1ChSlS Ill Iut V dt lOlio counties. The resolution adopted by the state central committee at it's last meeting, calling upon the secretaries of county committees to notify the secretary of the state committee as to the amount to be charged state candidates for getting their names on the ticket, was ignored in a number of counties and each candidate has been compelled to get this informa- tion in any way he could.
 The various counties levy different assessments upon the state candidates and it is necessary for each candi- date to communicate with some one in each county in order to find out what is required to get his name on the ticket. A number of counties will place the names of the state candi- dates on the ticket free of charge this year, but in most cases a fee ranging from $1 to S10 is charged. Marion county has levied an assessment of s10 on each state candidate this year In most of the other counties the fee is one or two dollars.

Fire has again swept an entire block and a part of a second, destroyed six build. ings and caused a loss of about $50,. GOO, with insurance approximated at $S,300 The entire business section was threatened. The fire originated in a pressing establishment from the explosion of a can of cleaning pre- paration, and spread with such rapid. ity that it was only checked by the use of dynamite. Although almost every citizen of Clarksville joined the fire fighters, who formed a great bucket brigade and battled against the flames, the headway gained, the high wind and the inflammable mate. rial of which some of the buildings were constructed, made their efforts almost frutless.
