APPOINTMENT OF FOR M E R CONWAY MAN CONCEDED

 Little Rock, May 23.-The term of Col. WIG. Whipple as United States district attorney for the eastern dis trict of Arkansas expired May IS, and the appointment of his successor is eX- pected to be announced any time from the White House. It is generally con- ceded that the office will go to J. H. Harfod, the truly original Woodrow Wilson man of Arkansas, and the man who did as much as any one individu- al to mold Arkansas sentiment in fa- vor of the New Jersey governor.
 The time of Judge Warrington, district attorney for the western dis trict, also expires the latter part of this month and it has been surmised that the President is waiting to ap- point the two together. There are a number of strong applicants for the western district, but in the eastern district it seeAs to be conceded to MT. Harrod

From Fridays Daily.

 Judging from the number of politi- clans from all sections of the state wis iting Little Rock today, the guber material contest is beginning to attract interest in the rural districts, says the the Little Rock correspondent of the Commercial Appeal. Both the head quarters of MT. Brundidge and Judge Hays were well crowded throughout the day with politicians who came to Little Rock to get "inside informa- tion" relative to the standing of the two candidates as to popularity.
 Judge Frank Milwee, who is manag- ing MT. Brundidge's headquarters, was kept busy from early morning un- til late at night, shaking hands and otherwise entertaining the visitors.
 Eugene Williams, the well known eastern Arkansas politician and treas urer of the St. Francis Levee Board, was mingling with the managers ot Judge Hays headquarters during the day. This would indicate that the St. Francis levee leaders will be some what divided in the governors race.

TRACTION FRANCHISE
 ORDINANCE VETOED
LITTLE ROCK EXECUTIVE GIVES REASONS FOR WITHHOLDING
 SIGNATURE.

Little Rock, May 22.-Mayor C. E.. Taylor last night announced his veto of the ordinance granting franchise to the Little Rock and Pine Bluff Eastern Traction Company, to cross the free bridge into Little Rock with it's proposed line.
 He assigned as his reason for with holding his approval that he did not consider the contract under the ordl- nance is such that it meets the approv- al of the people; that 1t grants valu- able franchise for total of $15,O00 for term of 50 years; that it pro- vides for a street railway line on 24- foot roadway where traffic is already taxed to it's limit; that no adequate provisions are made for terminals and turn-cuts; that there is no adequate assurance that it will be an interur- ban line, since by the forfeiture of a bond of $12,500 it will be possible for the company to acquire valuable urban right and build no interurban at all. < The mayor expresses himself in full sympathy with all projects for public improvements and increased transpor- tation facilities, but insists that under the arrangements proposed in the or dinance these are not assured.
 Now the question arises, will the council sustain the veto? It was pass ed by vote of 10 to 6. Eleven will be needed to pass it over the mayor, s veto. Those who voted against the ordinance are Messrs. Harper, Gun ningham, Smith, Palez, Hollis and Ad- arms. and it is understood they are pledged to sustain the veto.

immoral women who earn their liveli- hood by prostitution.
 In questioning women inmates of the houses of prostitution, the con- sion found a majority of women reached their condition in life through a desire for money or through the per- fidy of man.
 The commission found the percent age of clandestine prostitution to be high in Little Rock, as in other cities, and cited this condition as one of the most difficult problems with which po- lice officials will have to deal
 Disease resulting from the opera tion of protected houses of prostitu- tion was found to be widespread in Little Rock, regardless of the fact that sanitation in the immoral houses is as good here as elsewhere

SUPPRESSION OF VICE.

The efforts of Mayor c. E. Taylor to suppress vice and close all immoral resorts in Little Rock will be watched with interest throughout the state. The social evil is as ancient as history itself and is one of the greatest prob lens with which municipal govern ments have to cope
 The report of the vice commission, upon which Mayor Taylor bases his resolution to prohibit the maintenance of evil resorts, IS one of the best eX- positions of the subject that we have read. That it was prepared with pa tience, thoroughness and a sincere de- sire to find a practical remedy, is at once evident. It is written in ju- dicial style, suppressing all that is sensational, yet excluding no facts of importance.
 Although conditions are greatly diff ferent in cities of the size of Little Rock and of Conway, in this city evil resorts have been successfully kept out for many years. Whatever arguments may be offered in favor of segregation or regulation as opposed to suppress sion in larger city, certainly no one could maintain that in Conway any other policy than that of absolute SUD- pression would be tolerated.

WHEN Postmaster H. B. Ingram as- sumes his position he will earn the lasting gratitude of his patrons if he is able to have the mail distributed Sunday between 10 and Il o'clock in the morning, instead of between 3 and 6 o'clock in the afternoon. It seems that a certain amount of work must be done on Sunday, anyway, and it is difficult to see what good can be accomplished by postponing the distrl- button of the mail some seven hours.

MAYOR IN CRUSADE TO SUPPRESS VICE LITTLE ROCK COMMISSION FILES REPORT AND MAYOR TAYLOR WILL CLOSE I'M
 MORAL RESORTS.

Little Rock, May 26.-Toleration of immoral resorts in Little Rocks seg- regated red light district will cease three months from Sunday. This pos 1tive announcement was made by May Or Chas. E. Taylor, as result of sweeping revelations and recommen- dations contained in the report of the Little Rock Vice Commission, made public yesterday.
 , Preliminary to the municipal war on protected vice, to be conducted after August p, Mayor Taylor de- clared the practice of collecting monthly fines from women of the un- derworld will be stopped at once. This action will entail a monthly revenue loss of $500 to the city.
 Notice of the municipality inten- ton to close all immoral houses three months from Sunday will be served of ficially to the women affected imme- diately. All resort inmates will be given an opportunity to leave Little Rock before August 25, and those who remain here in defiance of the city s warning must lead straightforward lives or suffer the consequence, the mayor says.
 The Vice Commissions report to Mayor Taylor is the result of years investigation into every phase of the social evil as it exists in Little Rock. It shows corruptness prevails here in

HARRY THAW TO TRY AGAIN
Order Is Obtained to Test MatteaWah
Rule Barring His Seeing Visitors
Alone.

New York, March 10.-A step pre-
liminary to another move to obtain
freedom for Harry K. Thaw, slayer
of Stanford White, was taken when
counsel for Thaw obtained from Su-
preme Justice Morschauser, in Pough-
keepsie, an order directing Doctor
Leak, superintendent of the Mattea-
wan hospital, to show cause why
Thaw should not be permitted to
consult with counsel in court The
order is returnable Saturday.
The withdrawal of the recent writ
of habeas corpus in which Thaw's
attorneys intended to argue for his
release was based on an order of the
prison department that Thaw must
not be allowed to see any visitors ex-
cept in the presence of Matteawan
officials
The new order obtained means that
the departments ruling is to be
tested.
