HUERTA RESIGNS
 THE PRESIDENCY
Man Who Was Blamed for Murder of His Predecessor, Finds Things Getting Too Hot and
 Quits Job.

Fl Paso, Tex, April 3.-To satisfy
 all factions in the Mexican melee,
 General Huerta has agreed to the naming of Pedro LaScurrain as provisional president, said adVices received here today directly from the national capital. Lascurrain would serve out the uncompleled term of the late President Madero.
 As minister of interior relations in Madero's former cabinet, Las currain is entitled to serve as next in line, ill view of the deaths of Madero and Vice President Suarez. The Huerta cabinet would be re- tained by the compromise.
 This arrangement, it is said, has been offered to the Constitutionalists now fighting the Huerta government in Northern Mexico. It is declared that Governor Carranza of Coahuila has agreed that the Sonora insur- rectionists will fall in line. The de- cision of the president is said to have been occasioned by the recent uprising of Zapata in the south, which places the Huerta forces be- tween two fires.
 Mexican military men here esti- mate that Herta has not more than l4,000 troops in all Mexico with which to meet the situation.
 This is even less than Perfirio Diaz possessed in combating the Madero revolution. Madero, on talk ing office, began recruiting volun- teer troops with the ex-insurrecto corps as a basis. In the meantime the regular army was not recruited to normal strength. The desertion to the opposing side of the majority of the volunteer groups has left the actual government forces far below par.

FIVE CONVICTED OF
 CONTEMPT OF COURT
Senator Going and Four Others Sen fenced to Jail by Walnut Ridge Judge-Filc Notices of
 Appeal.

Walnut Ridge, April 3.-State Senator Clyde Going of Harrisburg Attorney L. B. PoindeXter, Deputy Sheriff Joe Freer, Joe Stribling and Juror J. w. Moseley of Alicia were adjudged guilty of contempt of court by Judge Jefferys in Circuit court here yesterday. Each was fined $50 and five days in jail Each furnished a bond of $200 and will appeal to the Arkansas Supreme court.
 The contempt charges grew out of the first trial of Wolf Benning- field in the Circuit court here for murder. Senator Going and Mr. PoindeXter were attorneys for Ben ningtield; Moseley was a member of the jury that was trying Benning- field, while Deputy Sheriff Freer was in charge of the jury. Attor- neys Going and PoindeXter had a room on the same floor of the Rhea hotel as that in which the members of the jury were quartered.
 According to the evidence at the trial yesterday, Deputy Freer and Juror MOseley were seen to enter the room of Attorneys Going and PoindeXter during the course of the trial and the attorneys were seen to give the deputy and juror a drink of whisky. Afterward, it was charged, Moseley was one of two jurors who insisted that Benning- field be found guilty of no crime greater than manslaughter and thus prevented the jury reaching an agreement.
 The trial of the five men on the contempt charge was postponed un- til after Benningfelds second trial, al which he was. found guilty of murder in the second degree. Three attorneys, $. D. Campbell H. l.. Ponder and A. s, Irby, represented the five defendants at the trial.

1eeanuts ann 45ogs

Every thrifty farmer in Arkan- sas should plant a few acres of pea nuts this year. Nothing is better for the pigs and hogs than peanuts. Plant the small Spanish peanuts. Prepare the land well and make the rows not more than 30 inches apart. The seed may be planted with a planter, and should be about 12 inches apart in the drill. If the land is not too strong, they may be planted thicker.
 Two or three times will be suf- tfcient to cultivate. Run between the rows with a cultivator or dou- ble shovel, and when the plants are large enough it will be all right to let the dirt from the cultivator cover the runners or branches an inch or two, if the soil is loose and not wet. Wet soil is damaging Keep the weeds and grass out, espe- cially while plants are young. Tn August the pigs may be allowed to run in the patch to some extent without doing more damage than will be offset by their gain in flesh and growth. When the peanuts are ready to gather the vines may be pulled and threshed, or the nuts picked by hand. The vines make fine hay, and all kinds of stock like 1t. Another good way is to turn the hogs in and let them eat vines, nuts and all. This saves the cost .of harvesting. Nothing is better for hogs, and it gives a fine flavor to the meat.
 The peanuts should be planted about the middle of May. It will require about t15 bushels to the acre, and with planter eight acres a day can be planted. It will cost from six 10 seven dollars an acre to grow peanuts, and the crop will produce 25 to 50 bushels per acre. If the hogs are turned on them and the cost of gathering is saved, it will be found that the value of the crop will be from 75c to Sl.0O per bushel. Try this crop once, if only on a small scale.

PO|NSFTT GOING
 AFTER GOOD ROADS

Little Rock, April 3.-The first application for the formation of a road improvement district under the new law creating the Depart ment of Public Highways, has been received by Commissioner R. G. Dye from Poinsett county, for a road between Harrisburg and Marked Tree. It is provided that the petitions shall be presented to the commission through the county clerk. and that it shall be signed not only by a majority of the qualified electors of the district affected, but by a majority in value of the land owners. It is further provided that it shall not be required to have the consent of any nonresident land owners or foreign corporations for the formation of any improvement district"
 The Penitentiary Commission is preparing to build under this plan a stretch of public highway from Warner to the state farm, a distance of seven miles, that is to be a model road for the state.
 Commissioner Dye is preparing to have the new highway bill printed for distribution, as there is a great demand for it. At present he is de- voting a great deal of time to ad- Vising automobile owners as to the change that is made in the payment of the automobile license. He be- gan issuing the tags Tuesday, the business being transferred from the office of the secretary of state. The payment of the tax of Sl0 is made tO the collector of the county III which the owner resides, and the tag issued by the commissioner up- on presentation of the collectors re- ceipt.
 It is expected that the governor will appoint the other two commis- sioners in a few days, one for one year and the other for two. There has been no indication as to whom he will select. Those two, with the land commissioner, constitute the board.

TWEEDY REPUDIATED.
Police Judge Charged With Im-
 morality Badly Beaten.

Little Rock, April Erred A. Is- grig was elected police judge of Lit tie Rock over w. NJ. Tweedy by a majority of 1,47l votes yesterday. Mr. Isgrig carried every ward in the city, the Eighth ward by a vote of almost six to one.
 The bitter fight on the question of police judge is apparent by the fact that Mayor Taylor was scratch ed by 3l7 voters, all of whom voted for o. c. Ludwig for mayor.
 The friends of Mir. Isgrig are con- fident that his majority would have been even greater had it not been necessary to write his name on the ballot.

ALLIES CAPTURE
 ANOTHER FORT
Two Hundred Men Sacrifice Their Lives to Throw Bombs Among the Turks and Clear Way
 to Town.

Cettinge, April 2.-The great Tarabosch fort which for months has held the allies off Scutari, is now practically in the hands of the MOntenegrins, thanks to sacrifices of 200 bomb throWers, every one of whom lost his life in last desper- ate effort to clear the way to the town, for the possession of which Montenegro is ready to give up ey- erything
 These bomb throwers were all picked men, chosen from several battalions. Clambering up the mountainside under a murderous fire from the Turkish guns, they cut the wire entanglements and, after getting to close quarters, threw their bombs among the Turks, open ing the way for the storming party.
 Not one of the bomb throwers re- turned, but they had accomplished their object and the Montenegrin infantry, following close upon them, charged the trenches.
 The Turks covered their ground and a desperate, bloody, hand-to- hand fight ensued, lasting an hour and ending in victory for the Montenegrins, who lost 300 men killed and wounded.
 Tier after tier of entrenchments had to be taken, but the troops of the southern division under Gen eral Martinovitch, to whom the task had been assigned overcame all ob- stacles.
 At Tarabasch the rough moun- tainside made it necessary for the Montenegrins to dispense with all impediments.

W. c. T. U. COLUMN
 Bertha Kelly, Press Supt.

The Woman's Christian Temper ance Union met yesterday with Mrs. Clara Wilson. The program on Juvenile Courts was rendered. Different sections of our law were read by Mesdames Summers, Knight, Brewer, Wilson and Martin. The question, The Play Ground a Pre- VentatiVe of Juvenile Delinquency" was discussed and many good thoughts were expressed. One among the best was that "a mother or mothers should be present in or der to meet that enemy that is go- ing to and fro in the earth, and
 from walking up and down it. as satan never fails to be present when
 the sons of God come to present themselves before the Lord. A true mother will fight for her offspring as hen for her brood, but we think
 that true mothers will war with sa- tan when he attacks the helpless child of thoughtless parents who allow their children to wander about
 the streets unattended, with no in structor, guide or protector until too late, when they have been caught in one of the various traps set for children. Christ says, "Ex- cept ye be converted and become as little children ye shall not enter in- to the kingdom of heaven" but sa-
 tan declares except children be con- Nerted and become like his models they cannot enter into the kingdom of the world. Christ says, Love
 not the world, neither the things
 that are i'll the world" There are
 too many games" in the world-too
 many clubs and playhouses-for groWn-up people, and it is a bless ing that the children escape the Knowledge of some of them. People
 all over the world are begging for
 employment. What can these peo-
 pie do? What have they been
 taught to do? Professionals are too
 numerous, artisians are not quali-
 fled, Tillers of soil are disgusted
 because they do not understand the
 way to the top before they start to
 work. Each state should have in- dustrial sChOOls-schoOls to train children in all the vacations of life.
 Arkansas is behind many of the states i'll seeing what is really best
 for her people. The juvenile court
 law cannot be enforced without proper officers and homes and schools for delinquent and depend- ent children. We hope that some
 rich citizen of the state or the legis-
 lature will furnish the means neces-
 sary for the erection of buildings necessary for the execution of the
 law. Parents and guardians need no mirror to see themselVes-the power of their mental capacity is
 the child's inheritance for good or evil. Some parents would like to dispute this, but the son of a thief understands the business. although the worlds hypocrisy may teach the trick of clOaking the sin. yet the blood will tell. The judge of the juvenile court in this county is do- ing the best he can, but must have financial aid We hope parents and
 guardians will become interested at
 once. The next meeting will be
 held with Mrs. Lizzie Ingram on
 April 16. Mrs. Clara Wilson will
 prepare the program. A special
 committee was appointed for the
 good of the union. The meeting
 closed with the Aaronic benediction.
