Another Disastrous Blaze.

A most distressing and disastrous fire, which broke out in this city be- tween 1 and o'clock Tuesday after noon, completely destroyed the home and household effects of Mr. and Mrs Chas R. Izard and partially destroyed the residence iu which Mir. and Mrs. M F. PucEett lived, although the latter family were fortunate enough 10 have all their household furnishing and clothing saved by the large num- Der of citizens who responded to the alarm.
 The loss will fall heavily on the lzard family, who, regretably, carried no insurance on their personal belong ings, including fine piano which Mr. Izard won in newspaper contest two years ago
 The origin of the fire is shrouded in mystery. The blaze started in the house occupied by Mir. and Mrs Izard, none of the family being at home, and there had been no fire on the place Slnc9 morning. Mrs. lZard was keep ing house for Mrs. Campbell. just across the street, who was spending the day in the country Mr. Izard says he went home at the noon hour only for few minutes, and left the daily papers, and that there was not a spark of fire on the place at that hour Sometime after dinner Mrs. Izard also ran over to her home, and at this later hour says she saw no sign of fire about the premises, and none of the family can give any explanation as to how the firestarted, and the neighbors, too, are all puzzled as to how it originated
 The fire department done good work in protecting adjacent property
 The houses burned were the proper ty of Mrs. LaMize Prewett, whose loss was partially covered by Sl20O in- surance.

SAYS PROSECUTORS
 ARE RESPONSIBLE
Must Take Steps Against Delinquent Collectors, Rules Attorney Cen eral MOOSe.-LaW Coy
 erning Cases.

Little Rock, Dec. 4.-Prosecuting attorneys are responsible for the prosecution of collectors of taxes who fail to turn in their funds with in the prescribed period of sixty days, according to Attorney General William Moose, who yesterday handed down an opinion in the mat ter to Judge w. A. Coker of Monti- cello.
 The opinion, in part, follows:
 Under Act iSl of the Acts of 1911, to which you refer, if the col lector refuses to pay over to the county treasurer within sixty days all moneys collected by him, it then becomes the duty of the prosecut- ing attorneys to bring suit against him and his bOndsmen for the fail ure.
 Section of the act provides that the prosecuting attorney shall bring suit against the bondsmen of the depository for any breach of it's bond It does not, in so many words, provide that the prosecuting attorney shall likewise bring suit on the collectors bond on account of his failure to pay over the funds to the treasurer within the time prescribed. But Section 6392 of Kirby's Digest seems to me to cover just such a condition. It is his duty .to prosecute all actions for the state or any county in his circuit"

NATIONAL OWNERSHIP
 BEING CONSIDERED
Gathering Information Looking to This End-A Success
 in England.

Washington, Dec. I0.-Govern- ment ownership of telegraph and telephone lines throughout the country is under serious considera- ton by the president. Conferences between the president and Post master General BurlesOn led to the gathering of much information about the practical workings of such ownership in other coun- tries. The postmaster general said today: There is no doubt that the inauguration of the parcel post and postal savings systems gave tre- mendOus impetus 10 a desire of the people all over the country to have the government become the means of communication everywhere. When Sir Herbert Samuels, post master general of Great Britain, was here recently, I had two long talks with him. IL has proved suc- cess in England"

PROHIBITION BILL
 FOR WHOLENA
An Amendment to the Constitution for the Abolition of Liquor In- trOduced by Senator
 Sheppard.

Washington. Dec. 1l.-Senator Sheppard introduced the proposed constitutional amendment for na- tional prohibition in the Senate late in the day. Galleries were only half full, but his address in support of the amendment was punctured with outbursts of applause, which Vice President Marshall made no effort to stop.
 Prohibition will embrace the whole United States within a com paratively short time," Senator Sheppard said. The movement IS so strong throughout the nation that nothing in the world can pre- vent it's ultimate complete success.
 The only safe way to handle the liquor traffic is to destroy it.
 Senator Thompson and Senator Owen joined in the indorsement of the proposed amendment.

HUMAN VICTIMS
 FOR VIV|SECT|ON
Philadelphia Doctor Declares It Soon Will COme-AnOther Enemey of Practice Asserts II Already
 Has Come.

Washington, Dec. l2.-The world is going to demand an accounting from viVisectOrs that against the cost of agony and death there be made known whatever gains in the way of discoveries of clearly dem onstraled value to humanity can be proved to exist, declared pr. Albert Lef1inwell of Philadelphia, at to- days session of the International Anti-Vivisection and Animal Pro- lection Congress.
 If the Vivisectionists can secure from the charity hospital. he as- serted, that absolute power and se- crecy which has been gained in ami maj experimentation, then within the lifetime of men now living hu- man beings will take their place as material for investigation of human ailments"
 Human vivisection is a fact and is 50 widespread as to be called general declared Frank Stephens of Philadelphia. He said there was no longer any question of that charge.
 After attacking what he called "Friedmann's barbarities." Mir. Stephens charged that Dr. Karl vOn Ruck of Asheville, N. G., had ac- knowledged having used 339 chil- dren. 262 of them from the Bap- tist Orphanage at Thomasville, N. C., furnished ''by courtesy" of the house physicians there, to eXperi- ment upon.
 The obituary of von Bucks ex- periments, said Dr. Stephens, also would be the Obituary of any children upon whom he and his as sociates experimented.
 He attacked the work of pr. No- guchi, a Japanese working at the Rockefeller institute, experiment. ing on a loathsome disease, and who, through the courtesy of number of hospitals, private and public, experimented upon 400 cases, only TT of which were believed to have the disease"

MYSTERIOUS DEATH UNSOLVED
Chemist Found No Poison in StOm-
 ach of Ora G. Byrkett.

Little Rock, Dec. 12.-ISpecial. pr. Wm. F. MangledOrf, state chemist, has rendered a report to J. c. Land, coroner of Lawrence county, at Walnut Ridge, that no trace of poison was found in the stomach of Ora G. Byrkett. The chemist worked for a number of days on the stomach. but every test came up an absolute blank, so the death of young Byrkett must have been from natural causes. Byrkett died suddenly while sleeping in a chair. and on a table nearby was partially empty whisky bottle. It was thought he had been poisoned.
 The first test showed a large quantity of formaldehyde in the stomach, and pr. Mangledorf wrote back to secure further information being informed that this was in the embalming fluid which was placed In the stomach.
 Byrkett was the second husband of Faire Belle-Shirey-Byrkett. The Eragic death of A. w. Shirey, the Minturn recluse. who left the bulk of his fortune to the Odd Fellows, was a sensation a few years ago, and the identity of the assassin has never been revealed. The young wife was separated from Shirey at the time of his death, but not di- vOrced. After the settlement with the young widow was made by the Odd Fellows, she married Byrkett. and was apparently happy with him. Mrs. Byrkett was away from home on a visit at the time of her husbands death

WILLIS WAS CONVICTED.
Man With Family Troubles Re-
 ceiVeS Sentence.

A. R. Willis, arrested in Mena last week on complaint filed by Ft. Smith officers, charged with wife assertion, was convicted in the Dis trict court in that city Friday, and was fined $50 and costs and sen fenced to thirty days in jail.
 After his arrest Willis told a representative of The Star that "all he wanted was justice" That his wife's family were saddled on him for support and had threatened his life three times. This was too much for him, so he decided to leave and locate in a place where life was not so burdensome, but. his tale of woe evidently did not make a hit with the jury.

MOOSE RULES ON
 HOURS OF LABOR
Says Practice of Some Flaming and Saw Mills to Work Employees More Than 10 Hours in
 Day Is Illegal.

Little Rock, Dec l2.-(Special. The following important letter has just been addressed by Attorney General Moose to Labor Commis- sioner Clary, in response to 1uory
 Your letter of this date, with reference to Act l9, passed in 1905, regulating the hours of labor in saw and blaming mills, has been re- ceived. You state that some of the saw mills of the state have adopted the custom of compelling their em- ployes to work ten hours and half five days in the week and seven and a half hours on Saturday, which. on the average, makes ten a day for six days. You ask whether this is lawful under the provision of the act aforesaid.
 'I do not think it is.
 "Section of the act provides that ten huors shall constitute a legal day work for all classes of work ing men and laborers engaged in the operation and construction of saw and blaming mills in this state. If ten hours is a legal days work; {; ten and a half hours is not legal. You will observe. too, that the act provides for a days work, and not weeks work. If it is lawful to work ten and a half hours the first five days, it is lawful to work if teen hours a day for the first four days of the week. and then compel the laborers to do nothing for the remainder of the week.
 You will also notice that in Sec tion of the act, it is provided that each days violation of this act, or any part thereof, shall be cOnsid- cred a separate offense. The act provides that nothing therein shall prevent the employer or employe from contracting for a less number of hours for a legal days work than is mentioned in Section 1. but it does not provide that they may contract for a greater number of hours, so it is my opinion that when the company operating the saw mill requires it's employees tO work more than ten hours in one day it violates not only the letter, but the spirit of the act"
