statement:
Attempts are being made to make
an issue of Governor Wilson's speech
at Chicago. This is nothing less than
amusing. Governor Wilson's attitude on
business and its relations to the Gov

speeches since election is. as any WELL
informed person in the country would
testify, exactly the same as his attitude
before his nomination and before his
election.
"In Complete Harmony"
Every word that Governor Wilson
has uttered is in complete harmony
with the principles to which he has
strictly adhered throughout his public
career.
IF there is any surprise at this at
titude II can be manifested only by
those who fail to realize that the coun-
try has elected to the Presidency an
honest and fearless man who means ex-
actly what he says"

Pulaski County Fair Officers En-
 cOuraged by 1913 Success.

Little Rock, Oct 1S.-The Pulaski County fair closed tonight after a most successful week. The crowds have been far in excess of those anticipated by the management, and next year the directors hope to fol- low up the expansion of this year by purchasing grounds and erecting buildings in keeping with a Pulaski county organization. There will be track at the new grounds, so that racing may become an attraction. The buildings erected in the old baseball park this year are tempo rary affairs, and the fair associa- ton will lose little if they are abandoned. The attendance was in terfered with on only one night, when rain fell in torrents, but the skies cleared Friday and the crowds continued even through Sat urday, which is usually a dull day at the fair.

WORK ON CAPITAL
 WILL SOON BEGIN
Biggest Item in Completion of Building Will Re Placing of Thou sands of Yards of Alabama
 Marble-ChangCS in Offices.

Little Rock, Oct. 16 (SpeciaQ.- The Pilgreen Construction Com pany of St. Louis, contractors to complete the state capitol, have ad- vised Secretary Tunnah that they expect to begin shipping freight for the work by the middle of next week. The Iron Mountain switch at the rear of the building is to be extended to the terrace for that purpose.
 The sub-contract for the electric wiring has been let to the Arkansas Electric Company of Little Rock, and work has commenced.
 The biggest item in connection with the completion of the build ing will be the placing of thousands of yards of Alabama marble on the floors and in the corridors.
 The corridors of the ground floor, now unused, are to be floored with marble, and the offices with select ed Arkansas pine. Among the of fees to be located on the ground floor are the educational depart ment, the military, the land office, the railroad and tax commissions and the clerk of the Supreme court
 On the first, or executive floor, white marble is to replace the plaster on all the walls for the full height. The marble will be carried another story higher in the dome and the columns are to be covered with marble. No plaster will be left visible on this floor. The sec retary of state and the state audi tor will exchange offices, but the governor, attorney general state treasurer and Supreme court vii stay where they are.
 On the second floor there is to be marble wainscoting eight feel high, and the columns and arches ot the rotundas will be replaced witt marble. Marble walls are to be pro- vided for the Senate and House chambers, and white marble stands for the president and speaker The History Commission will have large quarters over the treasury, and all the rest of the second floor will he left vacant for the legislature.

INTEREST
 RATES FOR WEST
Two Senators Insist That New Country Should Enjoy Equal Ad- vantageS With East - Farm
 Mortgages for Five Years.

Washington, Oct. Exchanges in the administration currency bill that would give lower interest rates to the people of the new states of the West were advocated in the Senate banking and currency committee today
 Senators Hitchcock, Democrat, and Weeks, Republican, insisted that all sections of the new country should enjoy the same rates of re- discount under the federal reserve bank plan. They considered that such a system undoubtedly would bring down interest rates in west ern states where money is now earning high rates. Both senators insisted, however, that all parts of the country were entitled to equal benefits under the new currency law. The bill, as it passed the House, would permit the federal re- serve board to fix different rates in the different districts.
 William II. Bucholz, of the Omaha National Bank declared that many of the bankers in Nebraska opposed the administration bill as it now stands, and that many national banks in that state were preparing to resign their charters and become state banks unless some of the de- sired changes were made in the pending bill.
 A plan to issue government bonds that would be eXchangeable at all times for a special form of cur rency was presented to the commit tee by Senator Thomas. The plan was drawn by William A. Amberg of Chicago. Some members of the committee expressed the opinion that such a plan would regulate automatically the volume of cir culating currency.
 Mr. Banfeld, representing coun- try bankers, urged the committee to change the bill so farm mort gages running five years could bt taken by banks as security fOl loans. The bill now limits sucf mortgages to one year and the amount of such loans to 25 per cen of banks capital and surplus.

THE PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL
 THE PEOPLES COLLEGE
Phenomenal Growth During the Past Two Years as Shown by the
 State High School Examiner.

Little Rock, Oct. lS.-''During the past two years the growth and de- velopment of the public high schools of Arkansas have been un- paralleled," is the statement of B. w. Torreyson, state high school in spector.
 The high school statistics, pre- pared in the State Department of Public Instruction, show an in crease in enrolment of pupils in high schools of 74.5 per cent for the past two years, the enrolment for l912-13 being 1l,704. The high schools have been thoroughly standardized and eighty-one new high schools added.
 State aid" said Mr. Torreyson, has caused most of the growth in our high schools. The state high schools are required to give free tu- ition to all pupils of the county prepared to enter the high school. This provision has greatly strength ened the rural schools and has fixed definite standard for common school graduates During the first two years of state aid, 3,400 rural pupils have taken advantage of the free tuition. Free tuition is also given teachers, of whom 2,700 en- rolled in state high schools during the school years of t9it-t2 and l9i2-13. During this same period agriculture was taught to 4,100 high school pupils. The third year of state aid is just beginning and the initial reports from the state high schools show that the increase for this year will greatly exceed that for the previous years"

AIRSH|P EXPLODES,
 TWENTY-S|Xk KILLED
Newest and Largest Zeppelin, With Admiralty Trial Board, Dropped 900 Feet to Earth-A Blazing
 Mass of Wreckage.

Berlin, Oct. IT, The new naval Zeppelin airship, Il ?" exploded in the air today at Johannisthal and was completely wrecked.
 All except one of the twenty seven military men aboard at the slime were killed, including the en- tire admiralty trial board.
 The disaster occurred just above the main street in Johannisthal while the dirigible 800 feet long, was making a trial flight preliml- nary to it's acceptance as the flag ship of the new German aerial navy.
 The shattered hulk, a mass of blazing canvas and crumpled alu- minum. dropped goo feet into the public highway, while thousands watched the flight and subsequent explosions.
 Hundred of horror-stricken spec tators rushed to the wreck, finding nothing to do, however, except re- move the dead.
 Lieutenant Won Nluel, who was making the trip as a guest. was the only survivor of the crew of pas sengers, and he was badly injured.
 Many of the bodies were an un- recognizable mass of flesh and bones, charred to a blackened con- ditiOn.
 Zeppelin's veteran steersman, Captain GIuth, was in command of the ship.
 Among those killed were three German army officers who cOnsti- tuted a part of the trial board to which had been left the formal ac- ceptance of the ship.
 The dirigable had just left her shed a few minutes prior to the ac- cident The wind was light and the airship was just getting up speed when the explosion was heard by she spectators.
 It seemed the motor in the cent Fal gondOla blew up first. Flames flashed upward, and in an instant She ship was afire and plunging downward with every inch of it's canvas blazing and the ballOOnets gone.
 A second and terrible explosion Followed during the ships down ward flight as the fire reached the One-ton gasoline tank which was carried to supply fuel.
 Striking headforemost, the dir igibIe buried her heavy gondolas in the ground. She lay crumpled in Ghe shape of the letter "S," the ribs and stays glowing red hot in the fire.
 It required two hours of desper- ate eXertion for the spectators to chop the last body out of the mass of rods, twisted iron slabs and blackened aluminium.
 Six inmates of the center gondola, where the first explosion occurred, were blown through the sides of lhe car and their bodies hurled out ward, falling a quarter of a mile away The dirigible was travelling at the speed of forty miles an hour when the accident occurred. All 9he other passengers except two were killed by the gasoline eXplo- sion as the car fell through space.
 The entire admiralty board was saged inside the network of red hot girders, and their bodies were hor- Fibly burned and scared Lieuten- ant Von Vluel, both his eyes burned put, pitifully begged his rescuers tC Kill him.
 One member of the crew was stil alive when the rescuers picked hin ap, but he died immediately before She body could be placed in an ann bulance, which quickly arrived il response to a hurry-up call.
 This dirigible was supposed to bo able tO cross the Atlantic.
