FIGHT AGAINST
 lR. THOMPSON Effort Being Made to Pre- vent Issuance of the Com
 mission To Him MIR. TAFT SIGNS TT Ferd Hayis Said to Nave Turned the Trick-CIaytOn and Rem-
 mel With Furth.
MIR. TAFT SIGNS TT

The Graphic's International News Service correspondent at Boston, Mass, upon returning to that ,ct ty yeste' day morning from Beverly, where he interviewed President Taft: wired this papr as follows:
 ''TGe President has signed R. C. Thompson commission as posrmas ter at P.ne Bluff and it has been for warded to the Department at Wash ington. The pos tion pays 3,100 d year.
 Tnie is third confirmation of the receat story published exclusively by the Graph to the effect that Dr. Thompson had been named postmas- ter 10 succeed Postmaster F. C. Furt.l. Notwithstand' 'ng the repeated stories Postmaster Furth refuses to concede the naming of Dr. Thompson and his friends are also skeptlcal about the success of the Thompson movement.
 The appointment of pr. Thompson has created a stir in th.s city, where the opposition to him is strong. It was stated yesterday that protests are being filed in numbers by P.ne Bluff ans against the issuance of the Thompson commission and it was ! stated last night that the commission would be withheld by Postmaster General Frank Hitchcock, after it reaches him in Washington.
 Just how Dr. Thompson managed to get the President to name him, alter months of waiting, is a mystery here, but it is reported that Ferd Havls, the local negro Republican boss, was instrumental in bringing it about.
 Since the news was publ shed in the l Graphic Republican leaders in this state have been active ill urging lhal the commiss; on be held up. It was believed her that Powell Clayton and
 H. l.. Rmmel favored the retention
 of Postmaster F'urth in the local or l flee and as it is always necessary to
 first get their approval to get any
 Republican plum in Arkansas, the news was not credited here.
 Bets are being made in this city l that Dr. Thompson will not assume
 the .ostmastership. Others pfedsc
 that even if he is installed h,s ser
 vice will not be for any iengtn ol q time, no longer than the reconvenlnf
 of Congress, when it will be necessary 1 for tie senate to confirm the appoint : ment. Senator Jeff Davis and Se- nator Clarke will never Submit to II
 They have heretofore declared them ' selves as being against pr. Thompson II If his commission is forwarded te < him by Postmaster General Hitch cock he will only serve "n recess o' I Congress-" which < is only 1e" } months.

DAUGHTER CRAZY,
 SAYS MRS. TERRY
WHITE WIFE OF JACK JOHNSON WHO KILLED HERSELF BROKE
 HER FATHERS HEART.
Mother is PrOstrated and Brother May Refuse to Take the Body
 For Interment.

TOT iuttINututs
 Brooklyn, Sept. 12.-Asserting that her daughter was insane, Mrs. Da- vid Terry of this city, is in a state of collapse over the suicide in Chi cago of her daughter, Etta Johnson, wife of the champion heavyweight pugilist of the world, and formerly the wife of Clarence E. Duryea, welathy New York and Long Island horseman.
 Last February the friends and relatives of the former Miss Etta Ter ry were shocked to learn that she had been for month the wife of Jack Johnson. The revelation that made her a social pariah so far as the white race was concerned, and which is believed to have hastened the death of her father David Terry m ember of the manufacturing firm of Young and Gerard, of Green Point, came as result of the threatened prosecution of Johnson on charge of bigamy.
 Mrs. Terry was unable to say whether her daughters body would 3e brought back here for burial. She said she would first have to com municate with her son, George Ches- ter Terry. who is in Nova Scotia on vacation. To this son the question o the family's taking charge of tht body and funeral will be left.

HOT ON THE TRAIL
 OF THE COLONEL Roosevelt Foams at Mouth When Pursued By Taft
 Defenders.
BORAH IS FRIENDLY
Idaho PrOgressiyes Are RuOyed Cp Over Senator's Neutral
 Attitude.

Boise, Idaho, Sept. 2l.-Hot upon the lrail of Colonel Roosevelt in hs campaign through Oregon and Idaho today, came brace of Taft spell binders calling the eX-Presilent wick ed names for insist ng that Taft's nomihat on was theft The militant orators, John N. Harlan, sen of the late Chef Justice, and Adam Beda congressman from Minnesota, caught up with the colonel at La Grand. Ore, an early morning stop, but the two parties steered clear of clash
 The ex-President's ire was aroused when he leaned that Harlan ;:nd Bede were after him. The two stand pattars, he was told, have been shout ing all over the northwest that Rcosevelt's al legation of highway rob- bery at the Republican convention has leen disproved by the real facts. Amons other caustic things, they said that the Third Party candidate has been 'befouling the pure air of the west with the false accusations.
 Ali this came to Roosevelt's ears when he landed in La Grande, in eastern Oregon, and he ia rly boiled over with rage. At the county fair ground at La Grande the eX-Presi- dent seathingly ,assailed the pursu- ing 'raftites.
 Tie Taft managers in La Grande wanted Bede and Harlan to hustle in- to the fair grounds Immediately af- ter the Colonel left to open fire on him, but the fair promoters, Roose- welt sympathizers, declined to allc W it.
 Here tonight Roosevelt expressed his opinion of two invaders in de- cisive terms.
 The ex-PresiiIent felt buoyed up
  when he learned that Senator Borah who lad stood alOof from the Third Parry, had decided not to f ght Roose- velt in the state. Borah told the Col onel that he is opposed to a third 1 ticket in Idaho. He is up for re-elec tion. He suggested to Roosevelt tha as nearly all of the state Republican nominees are progressives it would be useless to put up an opposing tick ct.
 ,Borah assured Roosevelt that h. will assume neutral attitude in thu national ticket fight, but added tha his sympathies are with the ColeInel With Borah practically on the ban' wagon the Progressives are confiden that they will sweep Idaho. In hi dash through Oregon and Idaho to day the ex-Pres dent took up conser yation, commit ng himself to a rig i'd policy if elected president.

 Little Rock. Sept. 12.-The returns from Mondays election as the slowly filter in. appear to indicate one pos sible victory for the Socialists. They advocated the recall amendment, No. IA. which was initiated by the Arkan- sas Federation of Labor. It provides method for the recall of all elec- tive officers, including members of the judiciary. While the vote on the ques- tion is close, the vote for it is lead ing.
 Bond Amendment Safe.
 Little Rock. Sept. 12.-Tnere seems to be little doubt at this time that the bond amendment carried in the Monday election. The vote so far re- ported and tabulated shows a total of 3O,390 for it and 20,190 against it. So far, it has received a majority of all votes cast.
 Change Counting System.
 Little Rock, Sept. 12.-"Something must be done to expedite the count ot election returns" remarked Chairman A. J. Walls, of the Arkansas Demo cratic State Central Committee, three days after the election, when less than one third of the total vote was ac- counted for. Tit will be another week before we have the complete re- turns. probably longer. as the county boards have thirty days to certify the returns Two sets of judges, one to receive the ballots. and the other te count them, might help matters some It is too much to expect of one set o1 judges that they shall receive ballots all day, and then count all night, ol longer, without stopping. Voting ma chimes would be the ideal method, fol then the result would be known as soon as the last ballot was cast, but that would cost lot of money. Un- der the l. & R. amendment, the bal lot will continue to grow more bur densome and something will have tt be done"
