DEPARTMENT Of LABOR
MAY Be AN OUTCAST
Early Action by Congress Nee
essary to Provide 1t
With a Home.

Because Congress has made no appro-
priation with which the Department Of
Labor can rent quarters, the work of
moving the Department of Commerce
from the various buildings 1t now occu-
pies into the new building built for its use
at 10th street and Pennsylvania avenue
has been temporarily deferred. The NOV
ing process was to have begun today.
Unless Congress acts speedily the De-
partment of Commerce will be placed In
the unwelcome position OF paying double
rent. Under its contract it will be forced
to begin paying rent on the new building
September 1, and the contract with the
owners Of the Willard building, where
most Of the department is now housed,
calls for thirty days notice before vacat-
ing.
Formal Notice Not Given.
The officials OF the Department of Com
berce have not yet given notice Of their
intention to leave the buildings now used,
because they fear that II they do the De-
partment Of Labor will be left entirely
without a home. This notice should have
been given July 81.
It is estimated that it will take about
a TO move dlL "a IIIo ChCCtS VI lAe
Department of Commerce into the new
building, although in an emergency 1t Is
probable that the work can be done in a
shorter time The emergency seems ia
have come.
Hope Congress Will Act.
Officials Of both departments are
fervently hoping that Congress will take
action this week in order that the tangle
may be Strengthened out and both de-
partments get down to work in suitable
quarters. If the changes have to be
made In hurry they fear that valuable
time will be lost.
Where the Department of Labor will be
located after the change has not been
definitely decided, although the ole
municipal building on Louisiana avenue
is under consideration. The Office Of the
Secretary of Labor and other officials ore
now tucked away in a corner Of the Will
lard building.

ELECTION LAWS
 TO JUNK PILE
Attorney General Moose Finds That Legislative Act Was Not in Accord With the COnsti-
 tuition of the State.

Little Rock, April 23.-According to decision rendered by Attorney General W. L. Moose Tuesday after noon the legislative act under which elections have been held for the past decade is thrown in the scrap pile as so much junk.
 The legislature, in the dim and distant past, passed an act chang ing the old election requirements, so that the voter must have lived in the state a year, and the town or ward for six months. The consti- tuition of Arkansas states that the elector must have lived in the state year, the county six months and the ward or precinct for 30 days.
 At the recent election held in Womble, the judges refused to per- init people to vote who had been in the state the required year, the county six months and only 30 days in the town. They argued that the state law requires the person to re- side in the town six months, but the attorney general says the con- stitution cannot be changed by the act of a legislature, hence people who have lived in any part of the county can move to a city and vote within thirty days after their ar rival.
 Under the protest there is chance for the election at Womble being declared illegal, and if one town starts there is no telling where the dissatisfied voters will stop.

WASTE OF GAS IS CRIMINAL
Steps Taken to Prevent Useless Loss-$20,O0O a Bay in the Cush- ing Fields AlOne-Penalty
 Is Too Light.

Washington, April 22.-Steps were taken today by Secretary Lane of the interior department to stop the waste of natural gas on Indian leased lands in Oklahoma. He in- structed the Indian agent at Mus kogee to advise all operators that wasting of gas could not be per- mitted.
 This action was a result of the report from the bureau of mines stations that "in the Cushing field a very conservative estimate of gas wasted would place the amount far in excess of one hundred million feet daily"
 This would amount to a money loss in the Cushing field alone of more than S20,000 a day. The re- port cited a case of which a well has been blowing off for six days without an effort being made to prevent the waste.
 "The penalty provided by law for such ineXcusable waste" said Sec relary Lane, lis totally inadequate amounting to a fine of only ten dollars for each day after the lapse of five days, or a possible cancella- ton of the operators lease. In the immediate future I will change the regulations so as to provide a pen alty to fit the crime

MANY JOKERS AND FLAWS IN NEW LAWS
Latest Discovery Is in the Jacobson Blue Sky LaW-WiIl Probably AnnuI the Appointment
 of Clerk.

Little Rock, April 23.-Due no doubt to the haste with which the last legislature dealth with bills, more jokers and flaws have been discovered in bills passed by the 1913 general assembly than any other, the latest discovery being in connection with the Jacobson Blue Sky bill for the regulation of stock selling concerns.
 The Jacobson bill contained an item providing that 5000 of the fund derived under the act might be expended for an additional clerk in the office of the state auditor to look after its enforcement. No spe- citic appropriation was made, al though the section might possibly be construed in that manner.
 After the bill was signed Auditor Oathout appointed J. J. Beavers as clerk to look after the Blue Sky provisions. Now comes the ques- ton of whether or not he can be paid a salary under the bill, and quite a few parliamentarians and attorneys who have examined the bill claim he cannot, The Lundy bill places a heavy penalty upon the official who appoints an en- ploye to create a deficiency, or to fill a position where no provision is made by appropriation.
 It is possible for the governor to declare an emergency, and that the official is necessary for the proper enforcement of much needed law, issuing a proclamation to that effect. To make everything legal and safe it is probable the appoint ment of Clerk Beavers will be an- nuled and the governor requested to make the appointment after the proclamation has been issued.

SOME PARDONS
 MAY BE ILLEGAL
Because Prosecuting Attorney Was Knocked Out of His Fee He Has Looked Up Old Law
 on Matter.

Little Rock, April 23.-Because a prosecuting attorney in a back county was knocked out of his fee when Governor Robinson issued a proclamation relieving a bondsman on a forfeited bond, the aforesaid prosecutor became real busy look ing up laws to see if he could not find some stumbling block in the way of the proclamation. He finally discovered a law which requires that all applications for paroles or pardons or relief on forfeited bonds, must be published for at least two weeks in the county where the crime was committed, and in the county where the trial was held.
 Employees who have been about the state house for years state no pardon was ever issued which had filled the requirements of this law and if this is necessary to make the pardOns legal, all those issued by the last half dozen governors have been illegal,
 Secretary A. V. Smith is now pre- pairing a blank to be filed with each pardon application, requiring the petitioner to give a history of the case and show that the old law has been compiled with. It is probable the petition will be filed under oath to prevent any possible false state ments in connection with it.

WOMAN MAKES A
 PATHETIC APPEAL
Asks Acting Governor FutrelI to Rid Helena River Banks of Immoral Resorts, Over Which City Of-
 iicerS Have No Control.

Little Rock, April 22.-A pathetic appeal was received from a woman of Helena by Acting Governor Flu trell Monday, asking that he rid the city of immoral resorts which are conducted along the Mississippi river bank in shanty boats, and over which the city authorities have no control. The matter is now being investigated.
 The letter stated that a woman, Red Minnie, desperate character, conducted a resort upon a house. boat, and two children, a boy and a girl, resided there with her. The children attend the city schols, and the woman appealed to have them either stopped from associating with the school children or taken from their mother.
 Worse than this. the letter de- clares that the woman is sending women over Helena to call on mar ried women and induce them to vis- it her place under the representa- tion that the place is now being frequented by their husbands. These women have been supplied with minute descriptions of the men, even to marks on their bodies, in order to convince the women of their husbands unfaithfulness, and thus drive them, in a spirit of re- venge, to the house of shame.
 In addition to this, the woman is said to have declared she would kill anyone making an effort to stop her activities, and if she did not have a chance to do that, she would destroy their property. The writ er of the letter seemed to be much in fear of the woman, Red Minnie and requested the acting governor to make an investigation without letting it be known where he se- cured his information.

FRUIT CROP ONE-THIRD SIZE.
Representative of Railroads Re
 ceive Definite Estimates.

Texarkana, April 2l.-T. H. Cor man, general agent for the Ameri- can Refrigerator Transit Company at Tyler, advises that the estimate on the peach and tomato crop this year will be 5000 cars, which is about one-third of last years crop. This estimate also includes berries. More than 1000 cars of fruit and berries were reiced here last year and handled through the local rail- way yards.
 G. B. Wood, general freight agent for the Texarkana X Ft. Smith, has been notified that the strawberry crop at Horatio this year will amount to only IS cars, and it will commence to move next Friday. The Kansas City Southern has placed refrigerator cars at De- Queen to protect this movement.
 Reports from the Jacksonville and other Texas orchards are that a large number of peaches are on the trees, which the orchard men be- lieve have been nipped by frost, and they expect the greater portion of these to fall from the trees before they ripen.

Amendments to Senate Measure.

Sacramento, Cal, April 2i.-In the absence of new developments in the anti-alien land situation yesterday, interest centered in the amendments to be offered to the Senate meas ure today by Senator Birdsall, whose amendments are designed to make the bill more particularly anti-Japanese by framing it so as not to affect corporations composed of European capitalists.
 Other amendments may be offer ed. Some members have been in favor of striking out the restric- tions on corporations altogether, but general opinion has been that such method would be so easy of evasion as to make the act inopera- tive.
