 Developments in the Wes'o O'Riley case, in which Mrs M A. Weslow, formerly Miss Zip white daughter of the late General H. kins White, many times mayor of this city and for years one of the most prominent men in South Arkansas, are attracting much attention in Hot springs, where the Weslow Cooper ative bank IS trying to prevent Sheriff Hale from getting possession of $7,500 deposited there by Redmond ORiley, a recuse who died a few weeks ago in that city.
 The Hot Springs News in review ing recent developments of tae affair says:
 Developments came thick and fast since Saturday, when officials of the Weslow Cooperative bank were in court to explain deposit of $7,0o0 said to have been made by Redmcn O'Riley or Redmon Riley, as he was known, said action being taken by Sheriff Hale as administrator of the estate of the deceased ORlley The county officials are anxious 10 as- certain every detail concerning that deposii, and are trying to ascertain if there is any record, other than the S atement made by the Weslow people that O'Riley drew half of the $7,CO0 from the Wesow Cooperative bank.
 Exhume Body Saturday.
 The body of O'Riley, badly decom- posed, was taken from it's grave in Hollywood cemetery early Sunday morning by Coroner Randolph, Sher- if Hale and Undertaken McCafferty. The purpose of an examination of this kind was to ascertain if the certifi- cate of deposit for $7,000 had been buried with the old man, as it was remembered that his old clothes were thrown into the casket when the body was buried. The certificate however, was not found in the grave.
 While not admitting that it had been found Sheriff Hale stated that i've did not find it there," and de- clined to state definitely whether this missing certificate was in his posses sion. It is understood, however, that it has been found.
 Advertise For Heirs Today President Weslow, of the bank that bears his name, offered a reward of s1000 for, any information that will lead to the discovery of heirs of O'Riley. He is not only ad- vertising in this city but was ad- vised to insert the same 'ad" in ''The Irish World" of New York, which he intends donig he said.
 Mrs. Weslow, wife of the president of the bank today issued a statement in which she set forth the details of the transaction with O'Riley. She stated that by a strange coincidence the four times that O'Riley had come to their bank no other person was present and the two conducted their

DISPUTE OVER THE
NATIONAL ANTHEM
Senators Rayner Of Maryland and
Hepburn Of idaho Disagree on
National Song.

WASHINGTON Aug. 29.-Although
waged for several months, Senator
Rayner, of Maryland, and Senator
Hepburn, of Idaho, are still unable to
settle their dispute over the national
anthem.
@The Sta- Spangled Banner" is the
nations anthem, according to Rayner.
This is disputed by Hepburn, but he
does not name any particular song as
his choice, merely picking the field
Hepburn favors my Country, "Tis of
Thee" as the national song.
The dispute, which has been fought
out privately between the two sena-
tors In the senate cloak rooms Off
and on since last winter, was pro-
yoked by Rayner's championing of a
bill to perpetute aud preserve old
Fort Henry, which repulsed the Brit
ish fleet in 1912. Senator Rayner's
resolution recited that there the ma
tional anthem-the Star Spangled
| Banner"-wag born.

his home with never thought of
the dangers he might encounter, be-
cause the traffic squad man always
spots him and the blind boy always
finds an unobstructed lane made for
him, no matter how dence the traf-
fic.
Small wonder that they require big
men on the traffic squad. Theirs is
the kind OF work that demands men
who can tower above such trifling
things as motor cars and trucks and
crowds. AS a result, one sees no
traffic men under six feet and any
number of them are so big they make
mere six-footers look like youngsters

Day, for example, who for seventeen
years has stood guard with his six

day morning. Many women came on
foot with their baskets, while others
drove to market in their buggies and
automobiles Inasmuch as the ven
lure was new and untried, not all OF
the stalls in the market place were
arpned for because of the uncertainty
of the patronage. Seven of the stalls
on the north side of the building were
taken, however, and indications point
to greater number being applied
for on next Saturday when the mar
ket is again opened. The market
days will be Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday from 5 a. m. to II a. m.
Although the market was not
crowded at any one time, steady
stream of people from 5 until II
visited the place. which gave excel

the future. AS soon az the peddlers
