STARLNG STILL
 MAKING FIGHT To Prevent Return to Arkansas Where He Has Been Indict- ed For Safe Blowing.

Fort Smith, Nov. 1S.-It will require a hearing of the facts before J. J. Starling of Coweta, Oklahoma, can either be liberat- ed or brought to Arkansas to answer for the robbing of the postoffice at POcahontas in July for which he was indicted late last week at Jonesboro by a Un- tied States Grand Jury.
 United States Judge Ralph Campbell made this ruling at Muskogee, Okla, today.
 Starling was arrested and charged with robbing the First State bank at Dardanelle, Ark. He successfully fought eXtradi- tion at McAlester, and was rear rested, charged with the theft of
 
 government funds, as $700 of the S4,20O taken from the Dar- danelle bank belonged to the Postoffice Department. The government, fearing it's case was technical, charged him with the Pocahontas robbery. Then Starling again instituted habeas corpus proceedings. It was on this case that Judge Campbell made his ruling today. The hearing was set for next Mon day.

Revival Meeting.

A very large congregation heard Rev. E. l.. Milford at the Methodist church Tuesday ev- ening.
 The speaker took for his Sub- .ject Personal Work, showing plainly that if a successful re- vival was ever held in Newport it would be when the members of the church realized the responsi- bility lay upon their own person. al efforts and prayers and not upon the pastor, whose efforts were as nothing if not aided by the membership.
 The cottage prayer services Of thirty or forty minutes, which are being held in five or six homes every afternoon at 3 O. clock, are doing much to link to- gether the church and home.
 The Wisdom sisters, three young lady singing evangelists of Missouri, will arrive on No. 3 and will assist the already large choir in the music.

WOULD COMPEL
 2-CENT RATE
Railroad Commissions of Three States Petition Interstate
 Commission.

Little Rock, Uov. 19.-Com- bining together as. one body, the Arkansas Railroad Commission. the Corporation Commission of Oklahoma and the Public Service Commission of Missouri have petitioned the Interstate Com- merce Commission to compel the railroads which were last July ordered to carry passengers for 2 cents q mile intrastate, to place the same schedule of rates into effect for interstate travel be- tween points in Arkansas, Okla homa and Missouri.
 Members of the Corporation Commission of Oklahoma pre- pared a complaint to forward to the Interstate Commerce Con- mission, in which they sought to have the railroads put on a ? cent rate between points in Ok lahoma, Arkansas and Missouri. After doing so they submitted the complaint to the members of the Arkansas Railroad Commis- sion and George w. Bellamy, w. F. Mcknight and J. Sam Row land, the members of the Arkan- sas Commission, signed the con- plaint.
 It was then sent on to the Missouri Public Service Com mission and the members of that commission also signed the complaint. The complaint was then prepared and sent on to the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion.
 Today the complaint was filed in Washington by the three con- missions as a whole, and taken under consideration by the h. terstate Commerce Commission. The commission seeks to have uniform rate of ? cents for pas sengers from any given point in Oklahoma to Arkansas or Mis- souri and for the same rate from any point in Missouri to Arkan- sas or Oklahoma. Of course the same rate would be effective from any point in Arkansas to either Oklahoma or Missouri.

Three-COrnered Race In Second.


 Judge Lankford was in Little Rock Tuesday when a Gazette reporter told him that dis patch from Batesville stated that Chancellor Humphries had made formal announcement that he will seek the Second district congressional nomination.
 Well, that will make it a three-cornered race unless some one else enters, which I hardly think probable" said the judge. "The contest probably will not be as warm as in some of the districts. Congressman Oldfeld will be kept busy in Washing ton, I suppose. Judge Hum- phries will be handicapped in making his campaign by his ju- dicial duties, and l certainly do not intend that my campaign shall in the least interfere with my duties on the bench. Such campaigning as l shall do will be at times when I have no duties to perform

Cheney Concert Company At Au-
 ditOrium.

The Cheney Concert Company composed of three sisters and two brothers, also Miss Hammer, a reader, delighted large audi ence at the school auditorium Tuesday evening with a splendid musical program.
 One great feature of the mus ic was the perfect blending of the instruments and technique of each performer. All were violinists of rare ability and the two brothers on the cornet and cello were unusually fine. The music would have been heard to much better advantage in lar ger building, especially the cor netist.
 Miss Hammer, the reader, was good, her numbers being loudly encOred.

Dr. Collins Killed,

Harrisburg, Nov. 18.-Dr. Dixie Collins was shot and kill ed late yesterday when the shot gun of his companion, R. A. Ford, who had been shooting ducks in Swan pond, was acci- dentally discharged. The shot struck Dr. Collins full in the face, blowing the crown of his head off.
 He and MT. Ford, also of Har- risburg, were starting away from the pond, where they had been hunting during the after noon, and were walking in wa ter about eight inches deep. Mir. Ford says he was carrying his gun across his right arm and that he supposed it was cooked. Without any warning, he says, it suddenly was discharged. Death came to Dr. Collins in- stantly.

 A coroner's jury was impan- eled this morning by Justice L. c. Griffin. Their verdict was that the death was due to acci dent.
