The talk of us being indebted to
the state is all bosh. There is over
$4,000 due US in retained per cent
ages and in approved work by the
commission, to say nothing of other
work for which we claim remunera-
ton"
Many Of the legislators favor the
removal of the 100000 bond feature,
merely requiring the contractors to
give a bond for the cost in case the
state wins The feeling here seems to
be to have the matter gone into and
settled, and if the state does not owe
the contractors, to let the matter drop
and get it out Of politics. They would
like to see the matter settled, and be-
lieve the state could concede pint by
providing a forum with such condi-
tons that both sides could be heard
in such a manner there would never
again be a state capitol issue in Ar
kansas politics.

FIGHT FOR POSSAGE.

Little Rock, FEB. 20.-The house, by
a vote of s. to IS, refused to submit
the question of equal suffrage to the
people for their rejection or approval
The resolution proposed an amend

Little Rock, Feb. 20.-Many of the
members explained their votes in the
house Wednesday on the question of
woman suffrage, most of the eXplana-
tions coming from the opponents of
the measure. One of the most anus
ing of these apologies was that of
Representative Hayes of Lee county,
who said:
Il do not intend to surrender the
last sacred rights | have left me.
am only second fiddler now at home,
so at the ballot box | intend to be the
whole brass band If the women had
the franchise, about half of us fellows
would now be at home eating turnip
greens"
Representative Reid of Lincoln
sent up the following explanation:
Il am for the submission of this
l want to see the society
parasites whipped to a fragile, and
under this amendment we will rid the
state of their extreme radicalism."
Representative Joel T. Pollard of
Pike county caused a hearty laugh by
his naive confession, Il have no wom-
an to vote with me, but hope to have
one by the next election, therefore
vote aye"
Representative Nelson, voting no,
Believing that the more
suffrage for women there is the more
old bachelors and unhappy homes
there will be. I vote no."

WAY IS FOUND To
PROVE HUMAN
BLOODSTAIN
Or, John B. Murphy, Of Chicago,
Announces Discovery Impor-
tant in Crime Detection.

CHICAGO. Sept 23.-The science
OF deduction as accredited to detect
ives. may receive a setback as a re-
suit OF a discovery in medical science
Just made known by Dr. John Il. Muir
ply. a noted Chicago physician and
surgeon, on his return from the In
ternationaI Congress Of Medicine in
London.
It is a process by which 1T may be
determined positively whether a
bloodstain Is human or from one OF
the lower animals
The old way OF determining
whether bloodstains were human
was by an examination OF the stain
under a microscope" DR.. Murphy ex-
planned. and it was more or less
Euesswork. Analysis OF the stain in
the new way would establish the fact
beyond a doubt by the precipitants
in the blood.
In the case now OF the chimpanzee,
the precipitants would come within 10
per cent OF the human. while in the
case Of an ordinary monkey the per
ceutage would be much less"
Cancer Study Advanced.
In the opinion OF Dr. Murphy the
most important matter before the
g21gress had to do with the cancer
problem. "Or. rather, / viii say Z
was perhaps the most important
The problem was discussed by an
Italian, a German and a Frenchman,
he said. Let it be understood that it
IS purely a scientific research into the
cancer OF mice, and has nothing TO do
with the cancer OF humans-as yet, at
any rate. except by analogy.
1T was shown that cancer In the
japanese Waiting mouse is capable
OF transportation in others of the
same breed In nearly 100 per cent Of
the cases used IN experiments. In the
case Of the Jensen mouse IL was
SHOWN that the cancer could be trans
planted in about IS per cent
First Case Of Immunity.
Then they Crossbred the Japanese
and Jensen mice and they could not
infect q single one OF the resulting
mice with the disease
That asserted the doctor, Wig
orously, Is the first instance OF can
Ger immunity as a result OF cross
breeding-or, for that matter, as re-
suit of anything. And It lends a great
hope In connection with the solution
OF the cancer problem OF humans"
Or. Murphy spoke enthusiastically
OF the discussions OF diseases result
ing from vice, and OF the wide promi-
hence given the discussions by the
English press
As result OF this phase Of the
congress, Sir Malcolm Morris, at a
final dinner TO the members, stated,
according to the Chicago surgeon.
that In an interview he had had with
Premier Asquith the Premier practi-
cally had promised that a commission
would be appointed under the British
Government TO investigate such dis
eases. for the benefit. chiefly, Of in
nocent victims

Because Of some embarrassment
growing out Of the fact that Senator
Brown and Representative Wright
had been named, respectively, chair
man Of the Senate and House factions
of the joint committee named to con-
slider the matter Of releasing the
Western and Atlantic Railroad, both
men declined to permit their names
to go before the commission, when
II was assembled Monday for the po-
sition of Chairman of the same.
The Senator remains the Chairman
Of the Senate portion Of the commits
sion, and the Representative remains
the Chairman of the House portion,
but Gunby Jordan, Of Columbus, was
named Chairman Of the Commission
as whole.
The completed Commission, as or
ganized Monday, is looked upon gen.
erallv as one of the strongest and
most acceptable ever named for any
purpose by the Legislature.
1t will proceed to work Immediately,
and will have a full and complete re-
port ready for the General Assembly,
when that body meets for it's final
session next June.

Youngest Operator in South Declared to Have
Made Almost Perfect Copy on First Test.

There is no better teegrapher in
Atlanta than Billy Key"
BE. Ragsdale, chief operator Of the
Western Union in Atlanta, who has
235 hrst-class operators under him,
Tuesday described the ability Of a
youngster in short trousers in just
those words.
And yet" he added, his case is
one Of gross injustice. He is thor
oughly competent, and I will put him
up against most any OF the average
operators in the country, but we can
not employ him as regular opera
tor for he is so young looking that II
any Of our patrons were TO happen in

Board Employed to

Derric Parmenter, varsity coach, set
up a board fastened as a picture on

hands of a kicker would be placed to

mental in placing the law on the
statute books he naturally wishes
to see 1t accomplish all the good
possible.
This is a measure OF tax reform
to which the people must be educated
patiently and with common sense,
said Mr.. Nunnally. The average tax
payer finds It a hard road to travel
to get his taxes paid, as they are.
He should find eventually that the
present law will decrease his taxes,
rather than increase them-that Is
the true intent and purpose of the
law. But this contamination, so de-
voutly to be wished, can be accom-
plished only by digging up property
now cleverly II unrighteously, hid
den from the tax gatherers eye.
1T will require most intelligent re-
search, most painstahng investiga-
ton, to get at this hidden property
and every phase OF the old system
should be-must be-run down to its
final analysis. If the best results are
to be obtained OF the law.
Unless a good account can be
given OF the present law before the
next Legislature, or, better still, be-
fore the next session Of the present
Legislature | am afraid there may be
reckoned with
Understand me. I am for the law,
il 1t is intelligently applied, for ]
know it will work good-but 1t is
necessary that the good points OF the
law be clearly demonstrated, or at
least, sustained before the next ses-
sion, or there may be trouble.
This law is on trial before the
people of Georgia. and the jury Is

About the Camel.

In a school in the South of Ireland
a schoolboy of tender years is said to
have produced the following essay on
the camel:
The cannimal is q sheep of the des-
ert. It is called a backteria because
1t has hump on its back. The canni-
NAL IS very patient, and will lie down
and die without a groan, but when it
is angry It gets it's back up which is
called taking the hump. The shep-
herds of cannimals is called Arabs.
When they live in towns they are
called street Arabs. When the canni-
nal goes on journey it drinks az
much as it can TO last for many days.
Such animals are called accquiducks.
Those that cannot carry enough are
called inebriates.~

United Through Literature.

More than one literary man owes a
happy marriage to his books. Long
before she first met her future hus-

self drawn toward the author of BELLS
and Pomegranates, of which she
makes the hero of Lady Geraldine's
Cour ship" say: Some POM granate
Of Browning's, which, if cut deep down
the middle, shows the heart within
blood-tinctured of veined humanity"
Nor was Browning insensible to the
charm of the lady's work. 50 that the
inevitable. thugh delayed, meeting, re-
suited in a love which, overcoming all
obstacles, resulted in the happiest of
unions.
