CATO WEEVILS

BROUGHT IN BY VISITOR
}. f. HOGAN TELEPHONES LOG
CABIN DEMOCRAT REPORT
IS INCORRECT.

Another boil weevil scare is avert
ed by the news today that there are
rome IN cotton fields around Cato or
any other place in Faulkner county,
so far as known. The announce
ment in Saturdays daily Log Cabin
Democrat that three specimens of
the genuine Mexican boil weevil had
been sent by T. B. Proctor of Cato
to the Faulkner County Bank was
correct, but it failed to include the
important qualification that the wee
wills were found in Texas and
brought here in bottle.
Copies of Saturdays daily did not
reach Cato until this afternoon. and
Immediately after reading the story
J. E. Hogan called up the Log Cab
in Democrat over the long-distance
telephone and stated that the weevils
sent here were brought to Cato by
W. D. Springer from Texas. where
he had been visiting for some time.
In sending the specimens to the bank
Mr.. Proctor failed to mention where
they were obtained.

HOLDS ENACTINC
CLAUSE INVALID
THE BAGGAGE ACT Is VOID
TO DECISION OF
JUDGE HUTTON-COURT
PROCEEDINGS.

For the reason that it was stvled
BE it Enacted by the People of Ar
kansas instead of "Be it Enacted by
the General Assembly of the State of
Arkansas" Judge H. N. Hutton in
the Faulkner circuit court held that
Act No. 252 of the legislature of
1911 is unconstitutional. This act
defines the term baggage, provides
The amount that may be carried bv
passengers without cost and provides
penalty of not exceeding S1O0 for
failure to deliver baggage within a
reasonable time. Under this act two
suits were brought in circuit court
against the st. Louis, Iron Mountain
4 Southern Railway CO., seeking to
recover the penalty in addition to the
actual damage caused by the loss of
the baggage. The court, however.
sustained the contention of the de-
fendant that the act was unconstitu-
tional on the ground stated, and took
the question of actual damage in
each case under advisement.
The case of Mrs. Dele A. Hines
and f. w. Moore against James O.
Moore ct al was continued this morn
ing until the first Thursday in the
next term, on motion of the plain
tlffs. The motion for continuance
was argued at considerable length,
5ut was finally granted.
The jury in the case of the state
against Bedford Hartwick, Other
Hartwiek, Sherman Duncan, Ed
Presley and Fred Donnell, charged
with disturbing public gathering,
found the defendants guilty late Sat
urday afternoon, and assessed a fine
OF $50 against each. The total fine
and costs against each defendant
amounts to S156.75, or S7S3.75 in the
FIVE cases.

BOIL WFEVILS COME
TOO LATE TO HURT

Although the specimens of boil
weevils found near Cato are pro-
nounced the genuine Mexican variety
by County Demonstration S. B. Webb.
he IS of the opinion they have ar
rived too late to cause serious dam
age this year. "The number of
grown weevils here now is, of course.
small, he said today, "or they would
have been discovered long ago. This
scattering number can do but little
damage, and from II to 20 days will
elapse before another generation can
be hatched out. Even the second GEN
Grafton would be comparatively
small, but by the time they arrive on
the scene It will be the middle of
August, and very few of the squares
put on after that time would mature
anyway, unless frost should be ex-
ceptionally late. The appearance of
the weevils however, should cause ev-
cry farmer to be on guard, as they
are more than likely to be with us in
great numbers next year"
Mr. Webb says the farmers should
select early-maturing seel for plant
ing next year and endeavor to force
the plant to maturity as early as
possible.

SMALL GAIN IN
SCHOOL CENSUS
l267CHiL LDRENIN CONWAY
IN ENUMERATION
OVER LAST YEAR IN DIS
TRICT ONLY AS.

An increase of only As in the num-
Der CT children of school age in Con-
way district is shown by the annual
enumeration filed today with County
Examiner j. NJ. C. Vaughter by for
ner Secretary s. E. Anderson of the
sehoo, board. The school population
is shown to be 1857, as compared
with 1,219 n 1911, and 1,16O in 1910.
The enrolment for the past year
apparently shows a considerable de-
crease, but Mr.. Anderson says there
was actually an increase, last years
figures being too high on account of
enumerating twice the pupils who
were promoted at the mid-year ex-
am.nations.
The enumeration, enrolment and
average attendance figures in the
Conway district for the past two

Vessel Returns, but Explorer
Will Remain in Antarctic
Another Year.

Latest Received From Him Is Dated
Jan. s When 150 Miles Away
and Advancing.

Wellington, New Zealand, April l.
Captain Robert F. Scott, the British
explorer, will remain in the antarctic
for another year to complete the scien-
tif1c and exploration work which he
has undertaken there.
This word was brought to civiliza-
ton by Captain SCOTS vessel, the
Terre Nova, which arrived In Akaroa,
harbor in the Banks peninsula. The
captain of the vessel brought from the
southern cap of the world the follow
ing message, signed by Scott:
81 am remaining in the antarctic for
another winter in order to continue and
complete my work"
NEAR POLE AT LAST WORD.
Apart from this message, the latest
received from Captain Scott, was that
Jan. he was $50 miles from the south
pole and advancing.
1t was clear that had the explorer
delayed sending back notification OF
his progress until he actually reached
the pole, word from him could not
have been received by the Terre Nova
before it was compelled to leave. ow'
ing to the setting in of winter and the
freezing of the Ross sea. All on board
the Terre Nova are well.
VOYAGE BEGUN IN 1910.
The present voyage of Scott to the
polar regions was begun Nov. 20. 1910
when he sailed from Christchurch, New
Zealand, with the best equipped ex
pedition which ever started on such
an adventure. The party was compos
ed of 5S officers and men, and carried
along large number of dogs, as wei
as three motor sledges, which were t
be used in the dash over the grea
plateau toward the pole.
The expedition, while, having for on,
of its objects the reaching of the soutl
pole, was primarily a scientific ven
ture. The study of geology, meteorolo
gy, gravity, and ice formations was t
be the main object.
EARLIER WORD TOLD OF SUCCESS.
In a message which the Terre Now
brought to New Zealand in April, 1911
Scott told of the building of the winte
quarters and the final preparations TO
the dash He said the party alread
had collected vast amount Of valua

Lieutenant Pencil, one of Scott
aids, sent message at the same time
in which he described survey of tn

whether it is to develop into wide

Anthracite circles are more appre-
hensive than their bituminous breth-

condition is based upon the fact that
there is no definite agreement immedi-

tically all demands except increased
wages, and on this point modified their
