STATE TO ASSE. 7
CLAIM % Land
SEEKS TO GUST RAILROADS
FROM RIVER FRONT BACK
OF OLD CAPITOL.

Little Rock, April 15.-Attorney
General w. l.. Moose spent most of
Monday in consultation with H. L.
Norwood, former attorney general,
and George Vaughan, whom he has
appointed as special attorneys to file
a suit against the Iron Mountain rail
road and other claimants to property
between the old statehouse and the
Arkansas river. This suit will be
filed in Pulaski circuit court before
the end of the week.
The river front at this point is a
valuable piece of property. 1t was a
part of the land granted to the state
upon which to build the capitol. In
some manner the state has apparently
lost control of the property, and now
desires to know how it was done. The
statute of limitations cannot run
against the state, and those now in
possession of the property cannot
claim squatters' title.
The Iron Mountain railroad has
double tracks across this property, it
being a portion of the Valley Division.

RECENT APPOINTMENTS
MAY BE VOTED upon
GOVERNOR MAY REQUIRE OF
FICEHOLDERS TO SUBMIT
NAME TO PEOPLE.

Little Rock, April 16.-Many Off
cials over the state, particularly city
and township officers who have been
appointed to fill vacancies since the
last election, or since the change In
officials was made in accordance with
the laws, and who have felt secure be-
cause they were not mentioned in the
call issued by Acting Governor Flu
trell last month, are due to rude
awakening. 1t is the intention OF
Acting Governor Futrell to check up
every vacancy which has been filled in
this manner, even to justices of the
peace and constable, and issue a sup
Elemental proclamation requiring
those who desire to hold the Office to
submit their names to vote of the
people at the special election to be
held July %.
Among the offices specified will be
the new circuit judgship created by
the last legislature, known as circuit
court, division No. 3 of Pulaski coun-
ty, and now held by Judge w. G. Hen
bricks, former private secretary to
Governor Joe T. Robinson. This ap-
pointment was made just before Gov
ernor Robinson resigned and went to
Washington. Legal advice has been
given Acting Governor Futrell on this
question, and prominent attorneys
state that the office is to be considered
as though there had been a vacancy,
even though the position was a new
one and Judge Hendricks was the first
appointed to the office. Judge Hen
bricks is a popular young man, and
should he enter the race for the Office,
will have little trouble in retaining it.

CAMP Align TO
BE SPIRITED
IN THE STATE PRIMARY
BOTH CANDIDATES FOR Gov
f, ERNOR GIVE INTERVIEWS
ON THEIR POSITIONS.

y Little Rock, April 15.-Short, sharp
and spirited will be the campaign for
the gubernatorial nomination to be
conducted between this and June 81,
less than two months, but it will be
adequate. The people want to select
their own governor, but it cannot be
denied that they are somewhat aweary
of much politics and will welcome re-
lief for few months before they will
have to go into the 1914 campaign,
which will be along next winter some
time.
Col. S. Brundidge and Judge G. w.
Hays have opened their headquarters
for the furtherance of their candida
Icy and it appears that they will have
free course. Other entrants have
until April % to get into the running,
but they are wary. DR.. Brough of the
University was the last of the linger-
ers awaiting conference with friends
before making definite announcement,
but it is not at all probable that he
will be candidate.
Col. Brundidge, in entering the race,
freely asserts thai he does not endorse
the administration of Governor Joe T.
Robinson, which lasted only two
months, and declares that he will tell
his reasons for it on the stump if it
becomes necessary.
eff elected to the governors Office,
so long as hold it it shall never be
used to elect either myself or anyone
else to any other Office" said Col. S.
Brundidge, "but l am not prepared to
sell my birthright by promising any
man or set of men that l will never
be a candidate for any other Office.
That is matter which belongs to the
future and we will let future condi-
lions take care of themselves"
Col. Brundidge will invite other
candidates for the nomination to join
him in a canvass of the state. The
statement quoted is interpreted as
meaning that while he will not use the
office of governor to hoist himself into
the senatorial office, as was done by
Governor Joe T. Robinson, he does not
pledge himself not to run for that Of
fee at such time as he may be able

SHERIFF ADVANCES
SI,7OO TO STATE FUND

From Wednesdays Daily
Sheriff ]. S. Johnson yesterday paid
pliance with a call made by the state
auditor under a new law providing for
advance settlements by tax collectors.
The money was paid to the state gen.
eral revenue fund and represents
about one-fourth of the total collec-
lions on that fund in this county.
Sheriff Johnson and Deputy c. o.
Payne will tomorrow begin the work
of making up the list of delinquent
personal and real estate taxes in the
county, and the latter will be certified
to the county clerk within few days.

Office as means to the end.
In making his announcement, Judge
Hayes says, and this is construed as
a covert reference to the fact that Col.
Brundidge may at some time be a can
didate for the United States senate,
"The goNernorship is the only Office l
have in view. Judge Hayes adds that
he is not a fractional candidate, and
that it will be his purpose to eliminate
factions by trying to unite them. 1t
is expected that the campaign will diff
fer from any that have been held in
recent years by being free from viru-
lent and bitterness, as there are none
of the issues pending which call for
personal attacks. And moreover, the
two candidates now before the people
for the nomination are not that kind
of men, although both have demon
strated their ability on the stump to
take care of their political interests.

MUNICIPAL REFORM Is
FFDERATION'S SUBJECT
IMPROVEMENTS IN CIVIL SER
VICE is ALSO DISCUSSED AT
HOT SPRINGS.

Hot Springs, April 11.-Yesterday' s
session of the Arkansas Federation OF
Women's Clubs was devoted to civic
reform methods in municipalities, to-
pether with an address outlining pres
ent reforms needed in the civil service,
which was delivered by Miss Carolyn
Williams of Little Rock. Miss Clara
3. Emo was chairman of the civic ses-
sion and Mrs. w. l.. Thompson of He
Der Springs, opened the discussion
with an interesting paper, in which
she specified the various diseases that
are carried by flies and mosquitoes.
Mrs. Thompson sounded the annual
slogan of "Swat the Fly"
1.-THE advantages of an annual
cleanup day" were set forth by Mrs.
r. S. Hines of Van Buren,, who stated
that no city could hope to be success
full that did not concede the necessity
for at least one municipal cleanup,
and advised the people of all commun-
tiles where future activities for clean
er cities had grown out OF campaign
of this kind.
Mrs. Joe Mosby Of Charlottesville,
stated one reason why junior leagues
should be organized is that the idea OF
civic purity and cleanliness, when I'M
pressed on the juvenile mind will be
retained through maturity and that
better government is bound to result.

Wednesday, Dec. II 1918

The vice question is crowding the
liquor traffic a very close second in
Importance and at the rate of pro-
gress will soon exceed the booze
question. This will be little tough
on people that have only one article
of faith politically or religiously and
that one article prohibition Of the
liquor traffic. Many people are so
taken up with their crusade against
the saloon that they do not see the
pitfalls that vice places in the way
of their own children. Even in the
smaller towns it requires the greatest
viligance to keep young people pure.
The atmosphere is pretty well satur-
ated with vice germs and in such an
atmosphere children that are per-
mitted to roam the streets at night
are in danger. Eternal viligance is
the price of purity.-Slayton Gazette.

CHRISTMAS TREE DANGER.

Carelessness at Christmas Time in
creases Danger to Life and Property
The rapidly approaching Christmas
season brings grave fire hazards with
it. The fimsy materials used in
store decorations are Of a higly in
fammable nature, usually in close
proximity to kerosene, gas, acetylene,
electric and other lights. Electric
lights properly safe-guarded are the
ideal light for decorative purposes,
but improper handling. makes them a
decided fire menace. Electric bulbs
should never be wrapped with tissue
paper or cloth for colored effects, as
the heat from a light of small cali
bre will ignite if kept in contact with
the wrappings for a short time
The average Christmas tree offers
unusual opportunities for terrible
holocaust as the tree and trimmings
lighted with gaily colored candles is
a veritable death trap. Churches,
halls and school houses where public
celebrations ar held are usually pack
ed to suffocation and in many instan-
ses the aisles and other means of
exit are filled with people making
escape almost impossible, but in any
even imperilling the lives Of all who
ATTEND. 1t has been truly said:
IA House Of Merriment is better
than a house of Mourning"
DO NOT decorate Christmas trees
with PAPER, COTTON, or ANY
OTHER INFLAMMABLE MATER
IAl. Use METALLIC tinsel and
.stf,er NON-INFLAMMABLE decora-
Non ONLY, and set the tree Sc
CURELY so that the children in
reaching for things cannot tip it over.
DO NOT use cotton to represent
snow. If you must have SNOW use
ASBESTOS FIBER.
DO NOT permit CHILDREN to
LIGHT or RE-LIGHT the CANDLES
while parents are not present.
They frequently SET FIRE to their
clothing instead.
The TREE ITSELF will BURN
when needles become dry.
KEEP MATCHES out of the reach
of children at the HOLIDAY time.
Candles are meant to be lighted
and if the children can get MATCHES
they will experiment with them.
The State Fire Marshal does not
wish to be understood as opposing
the proper celebration of the Christ
mas season. The interest taken by
the public in its observance is COM
mendable, but every Christmas rec
ords many fires costing hundreds Of
lives and thousands of dollars
worth Of property, which could have
been saved had proper care been
used. Wherever possible electric
lights installed by competent cleo
trician should be used for the tree
Illuminating. Cotton is the most
common material used for tree dec
Grating, it is also the most inflam-
mable and should never be tolerated.
There is substance called mineral
wool, made Of asbestos, which gives
a better effect and will not burn.
Santa Claus wearing apparel makes
him human torch unless his outfit
is dipped in solution of alum, which
will make it practically freproof.
If the people of Minnesota fully
appreciate the dangers to which their
families are subjected at this season
they would give the Fire Marshal
every possible cooperation in carry
ing out suggestions made to mini
mize this danger.
Christmas dangers are all avoid
able, and carelessness has no excuse,
especially where the lives of children
might be endangered. This is their
day and they should be enabled to
enjoy it in perfect safety.
