Washington, June 6-Plans for
recognizing the old Republican
party are being pushed Industrious
ly by the so-called "Humpty Dump
ties" But all is not harmony.
Cummins is suspected of a desire to
reorganize in the interest of Cum
Minis as the compromise candidate
in 1916. This plan is not regarded
with favor by LaFollette. Coordi-
mating with Cummins to a certain
extent are the desire of Root,
Lodge, and Crane, who want an
early cOnvention-nex year if pos
sible-tu put the party On record
in favor of some bright new re-
forms which will serve to counter
act the order left by the last Chi
cago convention. But one reform
insisted upon, namely, the elimina.
tion of Barnes. Fpr some reason
he does not care to be eliminated.
So the Barnes-Penrose wing of the
party is not Tapping in accord with
the other two wings. Altogether
the effort to put Humpty Dumty
back on the wall is not glittering
in its promise.
The Hon. Josehus Daniel in as
suming his duties as secretary of
tGW Navy has umoled over the,
obvious and time-honored fact that
the government has been buying
its armour plate from a trust.
The managers Of the various
branches which make armor do not
seriously pretend that there is any
such thing as competition. The gov
ernment for years notoriously been
handing out one-third to one half
more than the cost nf the armor,
and any official of the navy, if
asked would explain privately that
it was really matter of policy,
namely that the government was
substituting the private steel com.
panies in order to encourage them
to keep their battleship producing
plants well equipped and in work
ing order to meet the government
needs with view to possible in
creases in time of war.
This is also true of the manufac-
ture of smokeless powder. The
government discovered the process
and turned it over to private
parties and is paying 33 to so per
cent more than the cost to the pri-
vate makers for its powder. The
only question is whether this is
good policy. Mr. Daniels seems to
be surprised to discover this condi-
tion. The remedy is the one he
suggests-a government plant for
making armor plate or powder.

THE BASEBALL VINTAGE

The vintage of 1918, and labled
"Elko's". Their name is "Oppor-
tunity." Most of the members
of the Elko Baseball team were
not born with a silver spoon in their
mouth. We have heard it reported
that several of them before they
could speak cried for baseball
bat and a; ball. What can you expect
in future from children who start
like that?
The boys were pursued. They
Blerioted. The chase of fate kept
up. They Curtissed! They resolved
to fly t, town where baseball was
appreciated, and where it received
hearty support so after a certain
amount of fizz, frolic and folly
the boys landed in Elko-''here
since 1866" A fine lot of boys
they are, full of life, zest, eclat,
Verve! Watch them as you sit
under the awnings over the grand
stand!
Today they are smiling-"Try-

ing rooms. That is McFarlane and
Reinhart, two young High School
boys. McFarlane's work as short
stop has been fine, and he has the
makings of a first-class player. He
fields any kind of a ball and throws
like a bullet. Reinhart has been
showing up we'll and he ought to
make good showing tomorrow in
the Right Field. He gets the high
ones and low ones too, and when
playing on 1sl base always has his
foot on the bag. Kelly comes
next. and walks to his position on
lst base. He is sure to make good.
He was hard hitter last season
and is commonly called"Home Run
Kelley" Charlie Dore is another
young ball player and is rapidly
improving as a catcher. He is sure
to catch some of the Montello boys
mapping. If Christian arrives he
will picth, if not Byrant will
officiate. Christian did fine work
for Winnemucca last year. Byrant
has good curves and plenty Of
speed. Ford who will probably
play third base tomorrow if Ryan
is absent, pitched splendid game
last season, when Elko defeated
Winnemucca by a score of 6 to l.
Helfrich on 2nd base proved his
worth last year and is teed
to deliver the goods tomorrow.
McGahen and Merithew were in
the game last year, so Elko fans
ere familiar with their worth and
work. With such promising mater
ial the vintage of 1913 ought to
cover themselves with honor. and
win a great victory tomorrow.

Argue New Liquor Act.

Little Rock, Oct. 6.-Argu-
ment on the liquor bill took the
entire morning in the Arkansas
Supreme Court. The validity of
the act known as No. 50 was at
tackled by the lawyers represent
ing the liquor men on the ground
that the legislature failed to
place the word immediate" in
the act, although they attach
ed the emergency clause. The
states lawyers contend that the
legislature had the power to pass
laws to preserve the peace, safe
ty and health of the people re-
siding in the state and that the
legislature in passing Act No. SO
did this.
The case is entitled M. N.
Hanson and others VS.. Earle w.
Hodges, secretary of state. 1t
was appealed after Judge Guy
Fulk of the Pulaski County Cir
cult Court had decided adverse
ly to the liquor men. Through
out the summer vacation of the
supreme court the case has been
talked over and a great crowd
was gathered in the states high
est tribunal when the case was
called.

UXORCIDE GETS
A NEW TRIAL
Supreme Court Holds That Jim
Scott Did Not Secure Fair
Instructions.
Special to Independent.


Little Rock, Oct. 1.-THE Su-
preme Court divided in it's opin-
ion reversing and remanding
for a new trial the case of Jim
Scott, a Craighead county wife
murderer who pleaded guilty to
the brutal crime charged against
him, and pleaded insanity in de-
Tense. The overriding was
done upon what was considered
prejudicial instructions.
"This court has held that it is
not proper for the court in it's
instructions to single out the
proof of motive or the absence
of motive and tell the jury that
it may consider that as a circum-
stance in favor of the guilt or
innocence of the accused. That
by doing so undue weight is
given the proof, thus invading
the jury's province, that it is
error to single out the question
of motive for the commission of
the crime and point to it as a
proper subject of consideration
as an evidence Of the defendant S
guilt, and that it is equally err
roneous and improper to point
to the want Of motive as an evil
dence of his innocence.
"The evidence shows the I'M
provoked and brutal murder of
deceased by her huband, who
gave no explanation of his act,
and plead as a defense to his
crime his insanity.
"The erroneous instruction
was prejudicial in declaring that
the proof relating to the pres
ence or absence of motive had
no bearing whatever upon the
issue, and in effect, a direction
to disregard it, and the case
must be reversed on that ac-
count"

Weighed $50 Pounds When He
Died.

c. c. Johnson, who travelled
with the Campbell Carnival
Company as fat man, weigh
ing $50 pounds, was found dead
III the box car in which he was
sleeping Sunday afternoon, when
the show passed through limbo
den and was brought on toJoneS-
boro, says the Sun. 1t is suppos-
ed that he died Of heart failure.
The show was travelling between
Thayer, Mo-, where it showed
Saturday, and Forrest City,
where it is showing now.
The deceased has a father,
two brothers and three sisters.
His father, who resides at Scar
cy, came to JonesbOrO Sunday
and made arrangements for the
funeral. The remains were in
! tered at theJonesborO cemetery
next morning as they were too
heavy to move any distance.
The father verified the state
ment of the show company that
the deceased weighed $50
pounds.
The remains were buried in a
large shipping box as they were
too large for any coffin.
Johnson, while with the show,
had always slept in boxcar ON
a pallet, refusing to sleep on a
bed because of his immense
weight.
The father stated that one of
Johnson's sisters was even larg-
err than himself.
Johnson was AZ years of age.
One of his brothers is agent for
the Iron Mountain railroad at
Searcy. Johnson visited in this
city about two years ago and
again at another time he was
here with carnival, which had

in Washington. He was vitality
interested in the tariff bill sign
ed by President Woodrow Wilson
last Friday, being the author of
the cotton future tax amend
ment. He was one of the few in
Vited to attend the ceremonies
at the signing of the bill by the

Senator Clarke wants to at
tend to all his duties consistent

son will not leave Washington
to organize his campaign until

adjourned" said Senator Jacob
son. "He is very anxious to be
back in Arkansas, and will leave
Washington as soon as he sees
his presence there is no longer
required"
According to Senator Jacob
son, Senator Clarke is well
thought of by the other mem
bers of the senate. He presided
in place of the vice president
when the ruling on the confer
ence report of the tariff was
made. He ruled that the confer
ence committee had a right to
make certain changes that pre-

minister of Little Rock, pre-
siding at GIG Wolf street, fell

early hour Sunday morning, sus-
tanning injuries which were con-
sidered almost certain to prove
fatal. His skull was fractured,
and his arm broken and he was
otherwise injured, having struck
his head on a concrete floor, a
distance of about twenty feet.
He was removed to St. Vincent's
Infrmary, where there is little
hope for his recovery. His mo-
