 Little Rock, Dec. 23.-Arkan- sas bankers are opposing the ef- forts of the Memphis fnanciers to have located in that city one of the regional banks, with Ar kansas attached to it as a part of it's territory. The Arkansas banks have their connections with St. Louis, and will make a fight to be attached to the terri tory of which that city will be the center. Atlanta is also mak- ing fight for one of the govern ment banks, and the Arkansas bankers would rather see the Georgia capital selected, for Ar kansas would hardly be attached to it's territory. There are eight of these banks to be established in the United States, under the recently passed currency bill.

CLARKE STAYED

Until Currency Bill Had Been Passed Though Kirby Con-

Special to Independent.

Opeclal to Independent.
 Little Rock, Dec. 23.-As usu- al, the holiday season is the lull
 before the political storm. While there is practically nothing do-
 ing in the political line at pres ent, the return of Senator Jas. P. Clarke the first of the week, assures those who have been watching the dragging senatori- al contest, that business will im- mediately pick up.
 Senator Clarke is expected to become real busy and carry the fight to the opposition, now that he can be spared from the seat of national legislation. The talk ing to the stump by Senator Clarke will at least create e. nough excitement to get a line in the papers of the state occa- sionally-a thing that has not been done in the canvass so far made.
 While his opponent was using might and main to sway his mea- ger audiences, branding Senator Clarke as an oratorical coward, because he did not meet him on the stump, the senior senator from Arkansas continued to serve the people by attending to the duties of the office to which they had elected him. Ig- noring the challenges of the opposition with the exception of a word that he would attend to politics later, Senator Clarke remained in Washington and made possible the passage of the currency bill before the hol- idays.
 Ten days ago several promin- ent people from Arkansas were in Washington and one asked Senator Clarke when he was to return home. His reply was characteristic.
 Not until the administration currency bill is passed, if it keeps me here until too late to make a single speech to the people be- fore the March primary. To Senator Clarke, Washing ton correspondents attribute the early passage of the curren- cy bill. He was the spokesman in the caucus, and formulated the plan of shutting off Demo- cratic debate. He forced the vote without a word in behalf of the bill, and the vote was talk en at the tme he indicated it would be.
 Thus was one servant of the people working while his oppon- ent, elected to fill one of the highest offices within the gift of the voters, neglected the duties of his office to trail over the state and cast aspersions upon the lawmaker who dared stay on the job.

WIFE SUES RICH POET
ON UNP0ETIC CHARGES

EVANSTON, ILL.,, May 26.--William
S. Lord, wealthy poet and department
store owner of this town, has been
sued for divorce on the unpoetic
charges of infidelity and desertion.
The Lords are prominent both in a
social and business way, in Evanston,
and he has an income of $4,000 a
year from his store.
Mrs. Lord sets forth in her bill that
her husband deserted her about
February 1, and that since that time
he has been unfaitbful to her at vari-
Gus times and places. No names are
given.
Recently Lord went on a visit to
California. About the same time a
woman employee of his store also
disappeared. 1t is understood this
coincidence caused Mrs. Lord to
commence suit.
Mrs. Lord did not hear from her
husband for many weeks after his
departure for the West. Finally she
began a search for him. which was
unsuccessful. About two or three
weeks ago he turned up, but could
not offer to his wife a satisfactory
explanation for his long absence.
Lord wrote tender and passionate
verses to his wife before they were
married, and has written much
poetry-on topics other than love-
| since.
