GREEN BRINGS
 CUSTER SUIT 10 COME UP IN JANUARY JUDGE J. w. HOLT'S APPOINTEE SEEKS TO DUST J. W. BOWEN
 AS ROAD OVERSEER.

R. L. Green yesterday filed suit in the Faulkner circuit court, seeking to oust J. w. Bowen from the office of road overseer of Cadron township, and to recover possession of the road tools belonging to the district In his con- plaint, which was filed by G. w. Clark and F. H. Prince as attorneys, Green alleges that he is the lawful overseer of the district by virtue of his appoint ment by Judge J. w. Holt, and that Bowen is unlawfully holding the office and the tools belonging to the district. He asks for judgment busting Bowen from the office and for order directing Bowen to turn the tools over to him.
 The dispute over the office of over seer arises from q difference of opin- ion in regard to the law for filling the office. Under the act of 1907 and the act of 1909, it is provided that the of flee shall be filled by an election, but it is contended that this law was changed by the legislature of 1911.

COAL FOUND IN
 PULASKI COUNTY

Little Rock, Nov. 9.-Bituminous coal of good quality, is the latest min eral find in Pulaski county, only few miles from Little Rock. The vein of coal is over five feet thick and lies about 800 feet beneath the surface of Mark Valentines farm, near Gallo way. The coal was discovered when the drill in the oil prospecting well on the Galloway farm, reached the depth of $50 feet, and while not prizing the find very highly, Valentine took the sample to John II. Page, commissioner of agriculture, who, in turn, referred 1t to N. F. Drake, the state chemist. The report on the coal is so hatterihg that Mir. Valentine will probably sink shaft and develop it. should the oil we'll fail to reward the company with the mineral they are seeking.
 This find is of great commercial in- terest to Little Rock. for it means cheap coal for manufacturing plants located in Little Rock

BIG ATTENDANCE
 TEACHERS URGED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING
SUPT. COOK ADVISES DIRECT ORS TO ALLOW SALARIES
 DURING CONVENTION.
November IT, 1912.

November IT, 1912. To the School Directors of Arkansas Following the well-established pre- cedent in the state department of pub- lie instruction, urge you to encour- age the teachers of your respective schools to attend the Arkansas State Teachers Association, Little Rock, De- cember 26, 27 and 2S.
 l know of no other means whereby your teachers can be so greatly bene- fited and bring back to the school room so much inspiration as will surely re- suit from attending the annual session of our State Teachers Association.
 Wherever the funds will permit it, I recommend that all teachers, who will attend the state meeting, join the as- sociation and participate in the delib- erations, be allowed their regular sal ary for the week in which the asso- citation is held.
 1 received information from about 40 school boards that allowed their teachers wages, under the above con- dition, last year; and I earnestly hope, for the good of our schools as we'll as of the teachers, that this number will be greatly increased this year.
 Among the speakers on the program this year are men whose messages are well worth hearing. Not only the teachers, but any citizens engaged in any other vocation who may attend the general sessions of the State Teachers Association, will be well re- paid.
 A very cordial invitation is extend, ed to the members of school boards tc attend the teachers meeting. There will be many features of direct inter est and a genuine welcome to all direc tors who will attend.
 Very sincerely,
 GEORGE B. COOK,
 State Supt. Public Instruction.

en in this line. The women will ask to have the right to vote on every thing connected with the schools of the state, as well as to hold office as county examiner, county superintend- ent and on the city and county school boards.
 The Federation of Women's Clubs expects to push the bill, and have all ready assurances from a large num- Der of legislators that they will sup port the measure, believing that in this way the school system of Arkan- sas will be greatly benefited, as it has been in other states where similar bills have been adopted.

MOBILIZATION ON
 EXTENSIVE SCALE
IS GOVERNMENTS PLAN
OFFICIALS INSPECTING SITE FOR STATE TROOPS NEAR
 CONWAY YESTERDAY.

Governor Geo. W. Donaghey yester- day received letter from Acting Sec retary of War Oliver, outlining the government plan to divulge the nation al militia into 16 large divisions, as published in yesterdays Gazette. At the office of the adjutant general, it was explained that this is the compile tion of plan the government has been forming for some time toward mobiliz- ation of the militia in time of war. and makes no change in the militia system in time of peace, except that it is ex- pected to bring even greater financial support to the militia from the govern ment. The governor of each state will continue to command the militia, which will not be required to report for the biennial maneuvers at the headquar- ters of the division, except by invita- tion.
 Appropriations already have been made for the purchase by the govern ment of mobilization camps for the various state troops, and Adjutant General Green and Lieutenant Lewis of the regular army went to Conway yesterday to inspect a proposed site for mobilization in time of war. 9th CT tracts have been inspected at Ozark, Magazine and Fayetteville, but the tract that is finally selected by General Green will have to be ap- proved by the war department.
 The mobilization camp must be large enough for the full strength of the state militia in time of war. The government already has prepared plans and specifications for the bar racks to be constructed on these tracts, water supply, etc, and these will be sent to the adjutant general of each state to have in readiness. In the event the militia is ordered to the front, the adjutant general will deliv- CT these plans and bills of lumber to a contractor, and the barracks will be ready to be occupied within 10 days
 Each company of state militia will be sent to the mobilization camp when lit has mustered the minimum strength, or 6l men, and recruiting officers will be left behind to bring the company strength to l50 men. Then, when the regiments all are recruited fully they will be sent to the division Headquarters for the general mobiliza- ton. While being detained at the state mobilization camp the troops will be put in condition for war.
 At San Antonio, which is the head Iquarters of the division, which in- cludes Arkansas, the government will establish a big armory and keep in store the necessary equipment for the extra men enlisted to bring the compa- nies and regiments of the state guard to the maximum strength. Every two years each state will be invited to par ticipate in the division mobilization and maneuvers, which will give the new recruits experience as units of large army.
 The plan is said to be an extensive one with view to have the militia better prepared to be placed on war footing and sent to the front in event of hostilities. In case of war, the di visions will be kept intact and soldiers of the various sections will be assem- bled together

Quaker City Show.
1t has been finally decided to hold the
twelfth annual Philadelphia automobile
show from January IS to February 1 in
the new building of the Automobile Club
of Philadelphia on Odd street between
Market and Chestnut. instead of in two
National Guard armory buildings, as in
recent years.
The automobile club building is con-
crete structure with three floors avail
able for show purposes, and with COM
bined show space of nearly 10000 square
feet, which is more than double the
space available in any previous year.
The show will be held under the auspices,
as heretofore, of the Philadelphia Auto
noble Trade Association, which consti-
tutes nearly 80 per cent of the dealers in
Philadelphia.
The show committee contemplates
subdivision of the show mainly along
the lines followed last year. including

entered and which was watched by 1900
people The cars were sent down grade
with power shut off, gravity supplying
the energy. Besides providing Riverside
an attractive holiday and considerable
excitement, the contest had it's value
from the standpoint of motor car demon
stration and comparison because, all other
things being equal, lack of friction is the
factor that enables car to win such a
contest. or, in other words, to roll the
farthest.
The victorious Cadaillac captured two
prizes. winning the grand prize for coast
ing the greatest distance, irrespective of
class, and also the bull moose cup, or
first prize in its class. Thus it was
victorious over all cars regardless of
weight, some cars being heavier and some
lighter. the weights ranging for LOO to
400 pounds.

5OO-Mile Speedway Race.
Working to the betterment. if pos
sible, of the great classic in motor rae
ing. known as the Five-hundred-mile
International Sweepstake race, a change
has been made in the limitation of the
piston displacement. After much care
full consideration, the management of
the Indianapolis motor speedway de-
cided to make the limit for the piston
displacement for the third annual five
hundred-mile race 400. cubic inches, as
against 600 cubic inches for the first
and second annual events which were
SO successfully run in 1911 and 1912.
In the field of twenty-seven starters
for the race of 1912 the displacement
varied from 243 cubic inches to 1913
cubic inches; the latter figure being the
piston displacement of the Cutting car,
driven by Bob Burman.
That this change has struck popular
chord with the automobile manufac-
turers who are interested in racing is
evidenced by the many communications

BY HOWARD s. FISK.

~HE year 1913 will be ushered in
with three important automo-
bile events which give promise
of stirring up local motoring
conditions and instilling enthu-
siasm into the motorists of the National
Capital. The first event scheduled is the
annual meeting of the Automobile Club of
Washington, which will be held Saturday
evening. January f. President Harring-
ton Mills and Secretary John *. Heyl
will make some interesting announce
ments to the members of the organiza-
ton, after the regular business of the
club has been transacted.
One of the important matters to re-
ceive the attention of the members is the
disposition of the clubhouse on Georgia
avenue. The committee appointed at the
last meeting to arrange for purchaser
of the. building will submit its report at
this meeting and final action will be
taken looking to it's disposal. Following
action on this matter will come up for
discussion the dissolving Of the Automo-
bile Club and the formation of a new or
ganiZation.
In this connection there is rumor of
possibly have a connection with the for
nation of a new body. 1t is in effect
that a new association will be formed
way a large number of motorists can be
general with small annual dues. In this
way a large number of motorists can be
enrolled and with an organization of
about 2000 members, all taking an
active interest in matters pertaining to
their welfare, much can be accomplished
in the National Capital The organiza-
ton might possibly take the form of a
new dealers association, with the general
motoring public included in it's member
ship If such large organization can
be perfected there remains but little doubt

Washington Auto Dealers Assn.


The incorporation of the Washington
Automobile Dealers Association was fol-
lowed during the early part of the week
by one of the most important meetings
since its organization. The association
was formally launched and every member
is enthusiastic over the proposition This
is equally true of the coming automobile
show, which is being run under the au-
spices of the association. At meeting
of the show committee held the same
evening reports OF most favorable
nature were presented and announcement
made that the exhibition to be held in
Convention Hall February 3-S 1913, will
surpass not only any former show held
here, but also the expectations of the
committee in charge of the arrangements.
Thursday night of the show week was
selected as society night when the adj
mission fee will be greatly increased. Lieut.
William II. Santlemann, director of the
United States Marine Band, is arranging
program for the concerts every afternoon
and evening by his organization. This
will be but one of the features of the
show. An effective badge and emblem.
of the association has been adopted and
will be presented to very exhibitor. The
design shows a winged car with the name
OF the association embossed on a band
SurmOunting the emblem.
Chairman T. Oliver Prodigy returned
last week from a visit to the various
automobile factories, and was enthusiast
tic over his trip. He found unanimity
of opinion regarding the automobile show
throughout the country this year. Never
before. he said, have such extensive ar
rangements been made and such elabo
rate exhibits been planned as for the 1913
shows One well known authority ex-
pressed himself by saying that the auto
mobile shows are largely responsible for
the great advance which the industry has
made wlthln the last few years; that the
shows have made 1t possible for the
manufactures to secure a much greater
distribution and much more valuable
cooperation than any other medium ever
attempted. The interest of the public,
their education to up-to-date methods of
compilation of the improvements added,
as well as the conversion of those attend
ing shows out of curiosity and leaving
them with their minds made up causes
them to become integral part of the
army of automobile and truck users.
Hence the automobile show is in class
