the Attorney General, therefore. conflicts
with the construction that has obtained
in the army for thirty-two years. In
substance the Attorney General holds
that commissions in the National Guard
are not civil offices within the meaning
of the statute and that the militia or

federal government, particularly with rel
erence TO the national defense.

principal obstacle to the enlargement of
the cylinders Is the rapid increase in
the heat generated by the explosion of

AS no sufficient means has yet been
found of keeping down the temperature

Stimson Explains Course.
In an explanation of his action, Secre-
tary Stimson points out that even the
rights of present commerce, both coast
wise and foreign, must yield temporarily
TO the rights Of construction of the Pana-
ma canal. Within five days the present
double-track line across the isthmus must
be abandoned owing to the prosress Of
the construction work in the Gatun lake
section. and all traffic. not ony COM
mercial freight, but the material that
must be handled in the u, ton Of
the canal. such as enormous quantities of
cement, structural iron and machinery,
must be carried over a temporary single
track road. This means that the capacity
of the railroad will be cut down at l. asst
one-third. because the growing freight
business threatens to delay the compile
ton of the canal.
Increasing the freight rate as was con-
templated will not check the commercial
business sufficiently and might lead to
raising the rates on the competing trans
continental railroads.

FOREST PARK
 WAS OVERLOOKED
Largest Crowd of Season Filled the Recreation Center...Fine
 Car Service.

Forest Park, Pine Bluffs recreat- ion center, was the mecca last night for the largest crowd that probably has ever been within the enclosure on any one occasion. The throng was estimated at 5000 and included Pine Bluffians in every station of life.
 The Pine Bluff Company, owner of the street car line, evidently antici- pated the big rush and the car service was ample to take care of those desir- ing to spend the evening of the Glor' ious Fourth at the park.
 Owners of the concessions simply mopped up. "It sure is big night tonight said the soda pop man, as he mopped the precipitation from his brow, and dived into the ice cream can for enough to fill a cone. "Be- lieve me I wish four declarations of independence had been signed instead of one''
 Every car that travelled around the DIE IlSuIC GIS,ul WOI hCu ONC1 eiiAAS, es'" cne man was kept busy greasing the wheels to speed 'em up. The girl at the box office raked in 50 much i coin of the realm that she looked like uhe paying teller in a large bank
 Every horse on the Merry go.round travelled at least AS 3-4 miles just fer the sake of amusing young Pine Bluff and the boys in the bowling alley worked in relays.
 Every bench in the enclosure was plumb full but those who didn't get a seat didn't seem to mind.
 The dance in :he pavilion was big attraction and for several hours the floor was uncomfortably crowded with dance lovers. Howe's orchestra fur nished the music and every number was encored. The park was in full blast at midnight and it was long after o'clock when the owners of the concessions crawled in bed tired but happy and full of shekels.

 + SI MINER SOLICITATIONS x + FOR THE MOTHER +
SpaSOnable Advice on the Health I of Children in Hot
 Weather.

Mothers should be careful not to overfeed children during the hot months. No one requires as much food in summer as they do in cold weather. Serve only the lighter and more easily digested foods, and see that the milk is kept cool and the fruit ripe
 It is quite natural to expect some disturbance, such as constipation, h. digestion, or summer diarrhoea, often accompanied by cold. mild laXa- tive at Led time will, in most cases, carry off the congested waste from the stomach next morning and by cleaning the bowels restore normal conditions.
 Cathartic remedies and purgatives should never be used for children They are harsh and violent in their action and tend to upset the entire system. The combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, known as rr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, and sold by druggists for fifty cents bot l tle is now very generally used to correct stomach and bowel trouble. 1t is mild and pleasant to the taste and contains no drastic drug, or narcotic, but acts naturally and easily, yet most effectively A larger bottle, contain ing more than twice the quantity, is sold for one dollar. If you have nev= CT used Syrup Pepsin and would like a free trial bottle, postpaid, write to Dr. w. B. Caldwell, 406 Washington l St.. Monticello, Illinois.

 John B. Staunchfield, who replied to Rryan's attack on the New Yoik dele gaticm at Baltimore, said:
 "The ticket nominated at Bait more is one of the best presented to the people by the Democrats since the nomination of Grover Cleveland. MT. Bryan has said he will support Gov ernCr Wilson That is as it should pa No one should be eliminated because of the convention fight, as some have suggested. The fight was made in the convention and ended there, all the delegates being harmonious and en- thusiastic in support of the candidates of that conv:ntion."

THINK "JACK THE
 SHOOTER' IS CAUGHT
David BirgOnes, Mexican, Sentenced to Serve 21 Years in the
 Penitentiary.

Little Rock, July 4.-With the con- viction of David Birgones, a Mexican, in the first division of the Pulaski circuit court yesterday on charges of burglary and assault to kill, the police believe they have brought to justice one of the two men who committed all the crimes laid at the door of Jack the Shooter They believe that the reign of terror which was brought about by the mysterious ''Jack the Shooter" has been ended and that no fears need be entertained of any further depredations similar to those which have caused so much apprehen- sion.
 Birones was sentenced to serve 21 years in the penitentiary, 17 years on the assault with intent to kill charge and four years ol the burglary charge.
 The police charge that all the Jack the Shooter crimes were com mitted by Birones and by Sam Brass field, who is charged with the killing of little Paul Edward Coulter. Brass field is under indictment and his trial has been set for July 10
 Theory of the Police. In support of their contention that the perpetrators of the Jack the Shooter" crimes have been apprehend- ed, the police point to the fact that no crimes similar to those attributed to Jack the Shooter" have been com mitted since the arrest of Birones, the man convicted yesterday. The police west side and that Brassfield was. re- sponsible for the Jack the Shooter crimes committed on the east side Since the arrest of the two men, they declare, there have been no reports ot crimes similar to those attributed to 1 Jack the Shooter
 Charges Against BirOnes.
 Birones was accused and charged with entering the room occupied by Miss Ruth Andrews and Miss May Nowlin at GOA Arch street on the night of May 30 for the purpose of burglary and assaulting one of the women. Up on entering the room the two women were awakened and one of them turn ed On the light, by which they were able to idertify the intruder, Miss Andrews testifying yesterday that Bi- rones was the man who invaded the apartment When discovered Birones fired two shots at Miss Nowlin, who was lying in bed, one of which struck the headboard of the bed.
 Acting Patrol Sergeant Sam Wilson arrested Birones two days later' and when the Mexican was taken before Misses Andrews and Nowlin he was ] identified by them and his indictment by the Grand Jury speedily followed.
 Birones is a swarthy six-footer, 4( years old, his occupation being that o1 a cook.
