RAILROAD CANNOT
 SURRENDER CHARTER
ATTORNEY GENERAL NORWOOD AND COMMISSIONER MCKNIGHT
 AFTER OUACHITA ROAD.
Will Proceed in the Courts to Force Railroad to Give Public
 Good Service.

Little Rock, Sept. 5.-The Ouachita Valley railroad is not to be permitted to surrender it's charter, if it can be prevented. No order has been made but it is expected this will be done soon
 "When I receive an opinion from the attorney general that the railroad cannot surrender it's charter, l shall at once institute a suit in the courts to force the Ouachita Valley to re- sume it's passenger service,' said Com missioner Mcknight. "I have con tended all the time that it had no such right, although it is operating under a section of the Digest pre- scribing the method by which cor porations may surrender their char ters.''
 Attorgen General Norwood made the following statement to- a newspaper representatives:
 .I do not think the Ouachita Valley or any other railroad can surrender it's charter. It received charter from the state as common carrier, was granted the right of eminent do- main and all other privileges exer- csed by the trunk lines, and it is under certain obligations to the peo- pie and must fulfill these obligations. I do not consider that the decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission affects the status of these railroads as between the state and the rail- roads.
 :'The Secretary of State, accepted the surrender of the charter without consulting me, but i have instructed his office to have him immediately upon his return, erase all record of such acceptance and return the char ter to the officials of the road

Previous to giving this exhibition Miss Keller made an address in Eng fish, in which she said:
 This is a new day in the education of the deaf, the day when the physi- clan is no longer content to fight the hostile silence with med ctne and sur gical instruments alone, but helps the teacher to pour the blessed waters of speech into the desert of dumbness. :"
 Portions of this address Miss Kel- Ter repeated in French and German, for the edification of the representa- tives of those nations.
 Another interesting feature of the afternoon was when Prof. John Dut- ton Wright of New York City present. cd two of his pupils, Miss Mabel M. Johns and Charles H. Over. Miss Johns who is congenitaly deaf, mado an address in English, French and German, in high-pitched treble un- like anything ever heard before. Her words were more clearly enunciated that those of the average normal per- son.

AMENDMENT NO. 15.

Among the proposed amendments to the constitution of Arkansas to be voted upon next Monday is one which will appear on the ballots as amend ment No. 15, which would remove present constitutional restrictions and permit cities and towns of more than 1000 population to issue bonds for public improvements, says the, Tex arkanian. The amendment provides that bonds shall be issued only upon favorable vote of the people and that bonds cannot be issued in aid of rail- roads or enterprises operated by pri- vate corporations. The amount of bonds that could be issued is limited to 10 per cent of the total assessed valuation of property.
 This amendment should be adopted by large vote, that cities and towns of Arkansas be placed on equal basis with those of other states. As it is now cities are handicapped in making those improvements that make cities. The district plan is all right some times, then, again, it isn't. Because of the law limiting the improvement to 20 per cent of the assessed valu- at:on combined with the present method of assessing it is frequently impossible for district or neighbor- hood with an actual valuation of $1OO,- 900 to make improvements costing $20,OO0.
 Another reason why amendment 15 should be adopted is because 1t IS strictly in accord with the Democratic policy of local government. Thls amendment will simply give the peo- ole of cities and towns the right to issue bonds for improvements under proper restrictions and adequate safe guards.
 Texarkana may not need this amendment, but other towns do. It IS only right for each town to have pow CT to decide such matters for itself,
 Vote for amendment No. 1o, and place the cities of Arkansas on ba- sis equal with those of Ohio, Florida Alabama, South Carolina, North Caro- lima. Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Mis- souri. Kansas, Illinois and other pro gressive states.
 Under the district plan one or two used toWuzZerS are Sometllnes ena- bled to prevent improvements all oth- CT residents of the district and city desire. With amendment No. b in force the usedtowuzzers could not suc- cessfully oppose the will of the peo- pie.

Washington, Sept. 5.-The War Department announced today that ad- dltional troops are being rushed to- the Mexican frontier to reinforce the patrol guards there, especially in the Big Bend territory, where the Mexi- can rebels are waging a guerilla war fare.
 General Steeyer, ill command of forces, wired from Fl Paso that he had ordered six troops of the Four teenth calvary stationed at Fort Clark, Texas, to proceed with all dis patch to Big Bend to strengthen the American life at that point. He states that he was forced to take this acton because of the presence of rebels in large numbers in northern Mexico and their predations on the prop critics of foreign residents in that section of Mexico.
 General Steever says he has been lIlOl lACsi tudl d Udllu Ul tOV ICDCiS 10 in camp few miles south of Quitman and that General Salzar, Che of Orozco's lieutenants, is in the Caputin mountains on the line of the Mexican Northwestern Railroad.

UNIVERSITY WILL
 BE WELL ATTENDED
EVERY ROOM IN GIRLS DORMI- TOY HAS BEEN TAKEN AND NAMES ARE ON WATT.
 ING LIST.
Members of Faculty Make EncOurag' ing Reports of the Coming Term
 of State College.

Fayetteville, Sept. 5.-Prospects fer ing brighter every day. Already every room in the girls dormitory is taken list, to be substituted fer these who may fail to come or who may change their plans after arrival and board elsewhere. The University author ities are making special provision for of the better-class homes of the city. In the meantime, the dormitories for young men are filling up rapidly. Buchanan and Hill Hall are practical ly filled now, and Gray Hall has many students registered for it.
 Profs. Briscoe and Williams have returned from canvassing and the ir' reports are cheering. Dr Brough al- so writes enthusiastic letters. While the University will have to make a clear gain of 75 students if it has as many as last year, the present indi- cations point to even a larger enrall ment than in 1911. Many towns are sending double and treble their former patronage.
 But perhaps the most hopeful sign is the support of both faculty and old students. The faculty is organiz- ing for intensive work, and raising standards in scholarship, and for get ting in closer touch with the students. At the same time, the old students are enthusiastic in advertising the University and over the ogressiye jolicies being adopted.
 Another thing most gratifying to the friends of the University is the growing public interest in the school. The most signal manifestation of this is the recent agricultural school conducted at Mcrrllton by the Agri- cultural faculty of the University. This school was attended by 450 farmers. They and the business aien of Morrilton were so delighted with the school that they insisted the University authorities should conduct thres or four such schools ia the

 When it came Professor Whites iurn he demonstrated the extent of control that Miss Keller had gained over her vocal chords, tongue and iipe. Her illustrations were convey cd from his lips to Miss Keller's' finger tips, placed tightly over lis mouth.

PICKUPS FROM THE
BIG LEAGUE FIELDS

Mister o'Day's team continues
right along and the writers Of
sports who have been waiting TO
tell IN sad terms Of the finish Of
a preeocious umpire are still
waiting.
The FogeI-Dooin troopers have
removed the little silver horse
shoes from the tops of their lids
and are holding them IN reserve
as ink extlngulshers until the
end Of the series with the Giants.
It's the game of baseball when
the Hiehlanders, kicked and cuff-
ed by all corners, wander into
Philadelphia and proceed to take
two games In row from the
worlds champions. Mack's pitch
ers are having their troubles.
Pittsburph's expensive young
twiler, Mr.. O'Toole, was able to
make the management look upon
him as a good investment by curl
ing the Cubs up into a shutout.
Cleveland had a chance TO pull
up into third place yesterday but
though LajoIe and Ball bumped
the ball, Walsh and LANCE spread
the hits too far apart.
Little 6obbie Groom had one
bad inning against the Red sox
yesterday and Clark Griffith was
a trifie delayed in his race to keep
up with the winning streak OF the
manager Of the Cincinnati Reds.
The name combination Of knet-
zer-Schardt-Yinglins apparently
sounded like pretzel party to
Kings Boston Germans and what
they did to these three Brooklyn
pitchers couldn't be expressed IN
English.
While all the excitement was
going on II must be noted that
Mr.. r. Cobb Of Georgia, was
quietly collecting ESQ batting a
rage for the day.
