Henry Lane Wilson, whose resigna.

statement as a result of the reported
statement of the British foreign office
that recognition OF the Huerta gov.
eminent had been extended by Great
Britain after he (Mr. Wilson) had
made "congratulatory speech" to the
provincial president.
President Wilson was SO incensed

Dispatches From John Lind.
These were the developments OF
the day here in the Mexican situation
while dispatches from John Lind, per
sonal representative in Mexico Of
President Wilson, indicated that he
was in personal touch with FREDERICK
Gamboa, Mexican minister Of foreign
affairs, and was preparing to submit,
the representations of the United
States on the restoration of peace In
Mexico.
Chief interest centered in the ad
illustrations attitude toward Ambas
sador Wilson'S remarks concerning
the British government and the In
formation that European governments
we're disposed to lend their moral sup
port to President Wilson's policy.
1t was learned that many of the
foreign governments feel the Mexican
problem to be peculiarly within the
province Of American diplomacy and
though they may take no affirmative
action they will not interfere with the
peace problem for constitutionally
constituted government through which
President Wilson believes all foreign
interests can ultimately be conserved

INTEREST ON GOVERNMENT
DEPOSITS.

Secretary McAdoo has announced
his determination to require interest
on government deposits. Why not?
Why give to favored banks the benefit
Of deposits of government money with
out interest? The last Democratic
national platform demanded the estab-
lshment of competitive system for
the deposit of government moneys,
such system as Ohio, Missouri and
a number of other states now have
Until the competitive system is inaug-
urated there is every reason why the
banks should be required to pay for
the deposit of government money, as
they do now for private deposits and
for deposits Of states, counties, cities,
school districts, etc. The secretary of
the treasury is moving in the right di-
rection and furnishes another illustra-
ton of what the president means when
he says that the government should be
administered by the people in their
own interest.-Bryan's Commoner.

|fLfCTROCUT|QN ACT
EFFECTIVE JUNE IS
HANGING TOBE ABOLISHED
NO EQUIPMENT PURCHASED,
DUE TO INSUFFICIENT
APPROPRIATION.

Little Rock, May 1.-THE act sub
shutting electrocution for hanging in
the execution of criminals convicted of
capital offenses becomes effective June
49, 1t is provided that all such crimes
committed before that time shall be
punished by hanging, and only crimes
actually committed after June 10 shall
be punished by electrocution.
Attorney General Moose has advised
the penitentiary commission that it
must make the necessary arrange
ments for the establishment of death
chamber with all the necessary equip
ment, at the penitentiary to carry out
the provisions of the law, as hanging
will be obsolete after that date, ex-
cept for crimes committed prior to
June Is. The act appropriated only
81, 500 for the purpose, but the lowest
bid the commissioners have had for
the chair and equipment is $4,000.
The attorney general has advised that
it is an emergency that must be met.
A feature of the new law that will
interest the press is the provision that
"no newspaper or person shall print or
publish the details of the execution of
criminals under this act. Only the
fact that the criminal was executed
shall be printed or published.

LEGAL FIGHT TO

treasurer, after the governor had re-
fused to accept his resignation as
member of the board There is a pros

right to serve. The question is, is the
resignation of member final when
filed with the governor or must it be
formally accepted by the governor?
and while he is still member of the
board, before his successor qualities,
can he be elected an officer Of the
board under the act of the last legisla-
ture?
Governor Futrell has received a
number of congratulations on his ac-

MAKES AN EXCEPTION
TO HIS PARDON RULE
GOVERNOR GRANTS CLEMENCY
IN UNUSUAL CASE IN CAL
HOUN COUNTY.

Little Rock, May 16.-There is no
law or regulation so hard and fast
that it cannot under certain condi-
tions be set aside. This is true of the
rule which has been established by
Gov. Futrell that he will grant no
pardons. Thursday afternoon he
granted the second pardon since he
has been in office, the recipient of his
clemency being George B. Adams of
Hampton, Calhoun county, who is 65
years old and is in very feeble health.
He was convicted in Justice court of
selling whiskey July 10, 1910. Ow-
ing to his age and the loss of his wife
and son about that time by death, he
was allowed by the court to give a
note for the fines and permitted to
leave Jail on his bond For nearly
two years he has not violated the law,
and has given every evidence of re-
form.
His pardon was recommended by
the justice of the peace, the circuit
judge, and the prosecuting attorney of
the district, and by the county officials
of Calhoun county. There were also
two petitions presented asking for the
same, one petition by men of Hampton
and the other by the ladies of the
town. 1t appears that practically
every person of prominence there has
urgently requested the pardon and af-
ter due investigation no objection
whatever could be found to the extern
sion of executive clemency.

TOO OFTEN TRUE.

There is real truth in the following
paragraph taken from an address de-
livered before the Arkansas confer
ence of charities and corrections by
former Governor Geo. w. Donaghey
"In the economic pursuits of life, if
a misguided locomotive jumps the
track and lands in the ditch, we pull it
out, repair it and put it back on the
track, ready for business. But too of
ten in dealing with human affairs, if
a misguided man goes into the ditch
we send him to the scrap heap without
looking to see how much good material
here might be left in him."
