LADS OF IS PLAN
 10000 MILE HIKE

Edwin Cook, 18 years old, and wfl-' liam Moore, another youth of the same age both of New York, are contem- plating a 10000 mile hike around the fringe of the United States. Cook, who is at present in this city visiting a cousin, William Seager, at GA Park ter race, is not a novice at the walking art. He already holds long distance marke, having walked from the Hotel Sratdeld to New York in r hours, which has only been beaten once ac- cording to the records he has in his possession. With another companion he once walked from New York to Philadelphia, in 27 hours.
 Tn beginning the long hike, the first of next March, Cook and his compan- ion expect to have no backing and will attempt to earn their own sustenance on the way. A booklet describing the experiences of Moore tn' a tramp through Connecticut, Vermont and New York states, from the viewpoint of a boy, will be duplicated at the com pletton of the contemplated trip.

 DEMAND IS LIGHT.

New York, Dec. 3AOpening- stock market presented a firm front at the opening today. The demand was not heavy and trading Jagged but there were no signs of weakness. Most of the leaders made gains.
 New Haven was benefited by the Washington reports that the company would avoid the dissolution suit by the voluntary adjusting it's affairs to the governments requirements The stock opened a point higher.

 and life saving services into one or ganization to be known as the coast guard. Such a. consolidation, the sec retary says, would increase the efh- ciency= of each service with the idea that the new coast guard should be- come a first naval reserve in time of war. The increase in cost would be about $4oO 600. In that connection the secretary also recommends passage of legislation for the retirement of life savers on pension, and declares that unless some such measure is made law the efficiency of the service will be impaired and 1t will become in- creasingly difficult to obtain good men, He gives point to his argument by showing that the revenue cutter and life saving services saved 4s423 lives in 1913 and sa1vaged property worth more than $16,O00, ,0O0-
 Establishment or revenue cutter headquarters at Louisville or Cincin- nati, at St. Louis or some other point on the upper Mississippi and at HeI- ena, Ark, or Vicksburg, Miss, is urged as a measure for the saving of life in the floods time in the Ohio and the Mississippi valleys. Three light draught cutters "to cost about $80, GOO each are recommended. With the riv- res at normal stage they would be used in patrol to enforce the navigation and motor boat laws.
 The report refers to the requirement. that banks which hold government de- pcsits made April 30, 1913, pay interest tst two per cent, declaring that it means an annual revenue of $2, GOO, ,OOo to the government and showing that if such a regulation had been made in 1897 the government would now have received in interest more than $30,- coo, ,OO0

 International action to prevent such disasters at sea, as resulted in the sink ing of the Titanic is urged.
 '"The important maritime nations should unite'' says the secretary, ''in defining lanes of travel across the North Atlantic to avoid all danger of icebergs during the months of April, May and June of each year, and com pei steamship companies to observe them This would result in increasing to some extent the time of ocean pas sage, but it would, on the other hand insure immunity from the dangers of icebergs during this season.
 '"Hhe steamship companies should not be permitted to jeopardize needless1y human life for the purpose of shorten ing the transatlantic journey by a few hours, and saving a comparatively few dollars, but if they are they should be com mpeIled to maintain an effective ice patrol at their own cost

Little Rock, June 30.-More than 20O politicians from all sections of Arkansas arrived in Little Rock yes- terday afternoon and last night to at- tend the meeting of the Democratic state committee today. The con- test instituted by Stephen Brundidge one of the candidates for governor in the late Democratic state primary, is scheduled for hearing today unless injunction proceedings interfere. Members of the committee already here say they are anxious to dispose of the contest at once as the candidate must be certified to the secretary of state by Thursday in order to get his name on the ticket in time prescribed by law.
 The friends of the two candidates held conferences Sunday in their re- spective headquarters, talking over the situation. MT. Brundidge's can- ference was presided over by w. P. Fletcher of Lonoke It was decided ito place the entire contest proceed ings in the hands of a committee. If this committee decided after thor 'oughly Investigating the matter that frauds were committed in the pri- mary, legal steps will be taken to pro- tect MT. Brundidge's interests. The sum of $10,000 was pledged to defray all the expenses of the contest. On the other hand, if the committee reaches the conclusion that there is sufficient evidence to sustain a con- test, the dispute will come to an end and no further objection will be made to Judge Hays certifcation aas the Democratic nominee. Chairman A. J Walls of the state committee arrived in Little Rock last night from his home in Lonoke county. He says the committee will give both candidates a square deal.
