FACULTY ADOPT
 RESOLUTIONS ON MISUNDERSTANDINCS
ADOPTED AT MEETING AT UNI VERSITY OF ARKANSAS
 HELD ON JULY 26.
From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
 lnasmuch as good deal of misun- derstanding and uncertainty exists in the minds of many people of our state in regard to the condition of affairs at the University, the faculty of the University wishes the people to know what the facts are.
 l. The board of trustees, while taking time to select president with mature deliberation, has appointed Prof. J. H. Reynolds of the depart ment of history acting president of the University with full authority to conduct the affairs of the institution. There is every reason to believe that this arrangement for the administra- .ion of the University will continue throughout the coming academic year.
 2. The members of the faculty are unanimous in their endorsement of the action of the board and in their hearty support of President Reynolds and his administrs. ,n. They have implicit confidence in his ability to guide the affairs of the University with wisdom and judgment. His ad- ministration will stand for the best academic traditions and for the high est standard of character.
 B. As an evidence of their faith in Prof. Reynolds, the faculty is harmo- niously working with him to organize the various forces of the University for better and larger service to the students and to the state. In this work they are invoking the eXperi- ence of the best universities in the country. The people may rest in the assurance that the president and the faculty will enforce proper discipline, will maintain a high standard of scholarship and will train the young men and women of Arkansas to be obedient to authority and to become useful citizens of the state.
 4. Instead of being discouraged the faculty is hopeful and confident that the University has before it a career of great usefulness and development. To the realization of their highest ideals of a state university worthy of the people of this great state serving their every need, the faculty is conse- crating their best efforts. They there fore ask the people of this state to give the present administration the confidence and support that it de serves.
 The resolutions quoted above were unanimously adopted at meeting of the faculty held July 26, 1912, with Prof. G. w. Droke acting as chairman and Prof. C. G. Carroll secretary.

such circumstances. MiddleseX was
opposed to Nugent and they could not
afford to ruin their own future just
to crafty Taylor's personal ambi-
ton.
AS Taylor had but a majority OF
one, and was counting on Middlesex
to hold that, the desertion of the
three men from that county caused
the greatest kind Of a row. The
Middlesex men were firm, however
They told Taylor that II he wanted
to hook up to Nugent he was welcome
to, but he could not take them with
him. All kinds of nice, fat plums
were offered Middlesex, 1t Is under

craftsmanship of the committee on
labor the post he desires most of all,
it is stated, but the Middlesex men
would have absolutely no rex t,ns
with Nugent. 1t was not that Z ley
opposed Taylor but it was the COM
pany he kept.
County Clerk Cannon was on the
scene and did excellent work in be-
half of the governor. He was with
the Wilson forces from first until last
and was able to give the Middlesex
delegation some valuable information
that helped them reach the decision
they did. In the end, Taylor, Nu-
gents candidate, won by one vote but
the Middlese0 delegation expressed
themselves as well satisfied with the
stand they took.

London, Dec. 4:--The Bulgarian
government has officially confirmed
the signing of the protocol or armis-
tice by Bulgaria, Servia, Montenegro
and Turkey, Greece alone not partici-
pating, according to a dispatch from
Sofia. The ultimatum of other en-
voys that Greece. would sign or con-

tiary and it was said they planned to
prosecute a single-handed struggle
against Turkey without delay. The
truce apparently is indefinite in du-
ration. The peace ENJOYS will meet
in London December 12. During the
truce the opposing armies will re-
main in their present positions, the
territories between being neutral.
Turkey will be allowed to reprovi-
sion the beseiged fortresses along
the Chatalje line and also the be-
leagured cities, Adrianople, Chatalje

Trenton, Dec. 4.-Middlesex as
semblymen stood on their honor yes
terday and refused to become tools
in the hands of Jim" Nugent. They
were in the midst of the fight while it
lasted and some bitter words were
passed, but hey would not permit
any kind of reasoning to get them
lined up with the Nugent machine.
AS a result Middlese0 holds an hon
ored place among the followers of
Governor Wilson today.
1t is known that the Middlesex del
egation came to Trenton yesterday
ready to vote for Leon R. Taylor, of
Monmouth, for speaker. Taylor COM
ing from neighboring county, and
being in the same congressional dis
trict, naturally seemed to them to be
the right man. But upon arriving on
the ground and finding that Taylor
had hooked up with Nugent, who was
trying to regain his lost favor, it
did not take them long to see the
true situation of affairs. They had
allowed Taylor to count on their vote
believing that he was thorough Will
son man. When the fight narrowed
down to a contest between Nugent
and Wilson, with Taylor the Nugent
candidate, the Middlesex delegation
deserted the Monmouth man at once.
They insisted that promises or tent
ative promises did not hold under

HAVE DECISION
NEXT TUESDAY
Whether Boehm or Waring
Is on Excise Board.

The question as to the election of
Daniel w. Boehm or Tracy d. Waring
as excise commissioner Is holding up
all action of the new excise board,
pending a decision by Justice Bergen
next Tuesday. Four of the candi-
dates known to have been elected
have met and laid down preliminary
plans for a campaign to clean excise
conditions in the city the coming
year, but for more than a week past
have suspended activities to await
the arrival of the fifth member, so
that the entire board can decide on
the course Of procedure for reforms
and general betterment of excise con-
ditionS.
The new board proposed TO hold no
further conferences utnil after De-
cember 10, upon which date Justice
Bergen is to render a decision in the
action brought by Judge Adrian Lyon
in behalf of Messrs. Boehm and War
ing, to make it known what one of
the two was really elected.
1t is generally believed that Mr..
Boehm was elected over Waring, de-
spite the fact that it was first an
nounced that Mr.. Waring had receiv-
ed the required number of votes. A
mistake seems to have been made by
election offers in the third district
of the fourth ward, whereby Mr..
Waring was accredited with 169
votes, whereas the count on the tally
sheets indicate he received but 109
votes, thereby making is total LILY
instead of / 1,777 as first announced.
Tho action was brought in court sim
| ply to ascertain the facts in the mat
ter and not in any degree as suit
between Messrs. Boehm and Waring.

Terms of Armistice.

London, Dec 4.-The terms Of the ar
mistice between the Turkish and Bull
garian armies as accepted by Bulgaria
provide that the truce shall continue
during the whole period Of the peace
negotiations.
Turkey is to have the right Of revic-
tualing all her besieged fortresses and
all the detached bodies Of Ottoman
troops remaining In Macedonia and
elsewhere as well as the Turkish popu'
lations in the various parts of the thea
ter of war.
Turkey is to have the right Of revfc.
tualing her fortresses, troops and popu-
lation by way of the Adriatic and
Ionian seas in addition to the ordinary
available routes. The allied Balkan
nations are to furnish safe conduct for
the revictualing parties, and the Otto
man conveys are to be permitted to
pass If necessary through the forces Of
the allies.
The blockade of the Aegean and Ad,
rtatic coasts Of European Turkey is to
be raised.
The terms are generally regarded as
generous. but In view OF the great DIFF
ficulty which Turkey necessarily will
find in revictualing her scattered forces
their practical effect probably will not
be very important.
The fact that the negotiations for the
armistice were regarded as an integral
part Of the peace negotiations also
helped Turkey to obtain more favora-
BILE terms than would have been grant.
ed under other circumstances.

On the Perth Amboy side, more
than hundred passengers who had
purchased tickets for New York and
places on Staten Island demanded
their money back from agent Camp

on the Tottenville side did the same

A small launch from the Perth

There was no trip made by the ferry
boat from this city from o'clock
this morning until 9.55 when the fog
lifted. The last trip made from Tot
