the House of Commons by Premier Asquith. Speaking with evident emotion, he said:
 We all at this moment are under the deep impression created by the reading of the last message to the world left by Capt. Scott. It is one of the most moving and pathetic utterances in the annals of discov- cry. It is the message of a brave, enduring man in the face Of a most tragic death. His career was one of self-sacrifice and devotion to the service of his country. We can only say that his last appeal will not fall on deaf ears"
 The premier was so deeply moved that his words were almost inau- dible.
 Of the five explorers who perish ed Capt. Scott, Dr. Edward Wilson and Petty Officer E. Evans were married. Capt. L. E. G. Oakes and Lieut.. H. R. Bowers were single.

EDISON LAUGHS AT RICHES.
Offers for Talking Machine Declined
 by Wizard With Smiles.

ny w EtAAu
 Cleveland, O., Feb. 5.-Through negotiations ended by Thomas A. Edison's refusal of a contract for one million dollars to clinch an offer of millions for rights to his new talking picture inventions, it was learned yesterday the inventor has made two improvements which will result in making the phono- graph a perfect instrument.
 News of the inventions was gained from P. J. Brady, an attor- ney, who has just returned from the Edison laboratories at Orange, N. J. Brady offered the inventor the million dollars contract. Brady went to Edison on behalf of Cleve- hand and Chicago capitalists, pre- sumably trolley magnates, who were desirous of looking into Edi- sons new storage battery with the idea of using it on electric rail- ways.
 While there Brady, who was ac- companied by one of the Cleveland multimillionaires, was given dem onstration of the talking pictures. Brady hurried back home and the next day returned to Orange with the contract.
 Edison just laughed when we of- fered him the contract as part pay ment on our offer of several mil lion dollars for the rights to the talking pictures" Brady said. We also offered him in addition large royalties on the machine. He turned us down."

This question has been up in the legislature three times in eight years.
 Prior to 1905 the city, established and taxed as a special road district, was allowed to use the money thus collected it being provided that this could be used to improve roads leading into town. Under that con- dition Judge Prickett purchased a rock crusher, d steam engine and steam roller, and started a strong movement for permanent streets and good roads. The Whitley bill of 1905 took one-half of the fund from the Mena Special district and stopped the work
 In 1909 J. II. Hamilton passed a measure to give Mena 70 per cent of the fund, and in 1911 the city secured that part of the money. In 1912 it did the same, and spent its part largely i'll permanent work, putting in 53i lineal feet of con- crete culverts and drains and ma cadamizing three blocks on Mena street.
 The Neal bill reduces the amount Mena receives from it's road tax to 30 per cent, and will materially eff feet the amount of permanent work that can be done.
 The total road tax paid last year by the Mena Special district was S3,2i5.03, of which Mena received $2,250.52.

Washington, Feb. ll.-Details ol an assessment upon ofliceholders ir Arkansas by the Republican state committee was described by Camp who said he recently had been com pelled to resign under protest a: postmaster at Bebee, Ark.
 Camp produced letters signed by Gordon Il. Campbell, treasurer oi the Republican state committee, de- manding contribution of S39 Camp observed that was per cent of his salary, and he did not make the contribution. He sent the first letter to Postmaster General Hitch cock, he said, asking whether he would be removed if he failed to comply with the request. He re- ceived no answer, he said, but in November and December received letters from First Assistant Post master General Grandfield demand ing his resignation.
 One letter dated September 2i 1912, referred to the need for money in the national campaign and said in part:
 You were called on in a pre- Vious letter to contribute S39 to the campaign fund. Up to date have received no remittance. Why should you not have enough party patriotism to respond to this call as others in our own party have re- sponded-not only those who are holding office, but those who are not holding office, who believe in the principles of the party and who want to see the present administra- ton and our cause prosper? l trust you will respond at once." l Another letter, also signed with the rubber stamp signature of Mir Campbell, and dated October 8, 1912 said in part:
 "I regret exceedingly that you have failed to respond to my urgent and repeated request for financial aid in the present campaign. hope to receive by return mail your remittance of S39. Please do not compel me to make another call. A Republican reaping the fruits ol prosperity brought about by our party's policies is, to my mind, an ingrate when he refuses to aid his party when aid is needed"
 Camp showed letters he had re- ceived in 1910 asking him to con- tribute S33. His salary was then $i,200. The letter to him was in- closed in a letter to his wife, witll the admonition to her not to make the delivery of the letter to the postmaster lin a building used as a postoffice or other government of- flee"
 Camp did not make that contri- button, he said, and told the com mittee that he understood from in- spectors who had examined his off, flee that affairs were in good shape
 Inspector Wynne had told him, he declared, that he could "go into any postofiice and rake up enough ir- regularity to put any postmaster Iout of business" i'f& | Camp testified that inspection of his office had been made before any of the letters were received solicit ing his campaign contribution. He could recall no visit of an inspector after he received and failed to an- swer the campaign fund request. Gordon H. Campbell will testify tomorrow.

City of Mexico, Feb. 1.-The fed erals are making an attack on the arsenal. They are led by General Blanquet. President Madero is in communication. with Monterey
 The scene of the battle is in the very heart of the Mexican capital.
 Should the cannon of the oppos- ing forces come into action, and there appears to be no doubt that such is the intention of the leaders. the bursting shells inevitably will do enormous damage to the build ings in the commercial and resi- dence quarters. A considerable part of the structures in both sec tions are occupied by foreign resi- dents.
