Senator Bourne said recently in
Washington:

thus far, saved the American people
100000 in it's first fifteen days of
operation. That isn't much-not much

Sixteen Millions Involved.
Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
 ! Little Rock, April D. Judge Jacob Trieber has taken under advisement the petition filed by the defense in the suit of John F. Cubbins and others against the Mississippi River Commis- sion, the St. Francis Levee Dis trict, the Chicot county and four teen other levee districts in the state, to dismiss and will render decision in several weeks.
 The petition, which was argued in chambers Friday, sought to dismiss the complaint for want of equity. B. E. Moses of Memphis, represented the plain tifs, and John Ike Moore of Helena, and J. A. Turner of Jonesboro, looked after the in- terests of the levee districts.
 This suit was filed in the court at Helena, at the same time sim liar suits were filed in the courts of Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana. The plaintiffs seek a restraining order to prevent the defendants from building any more levees, claiming the con fning of the high water to a certain channel has caused lands belonging to them to become ov- erfowed, which were never be- fore. The lands of the defend- ants are in Tennessee, and in all, about $16,O0O,0O0 is involv- ed. These lands lie between the river and the foothills, and as long as there was no levee on the Arkansas side of the Missis- sippi, the water flowed over the whole St. Francis basin during the flood season. When the lev ees were built to protect Arkan- sas lands, the water was forced over onto the Tennessee side.
 The plaintiffs claim the levee districts should pay for the dam age done to their lands by the overflow, or to purchase the lands in question. Should they be successful in seeking an in- junction, suits at law to collect damages at law will follow.

To Prepare Sanitary Code.

Special to Independent~
 Little Rock, April 5.-Dr. Van Ezdorf, who has been assistant surgeon in the United States public health service at Mobile, has arrived in Little Rock, hav- ing been detailed by Surgeon General Rupert Blue to the as- sistance of the Arkansas Board of Health. F. l.. Watkins, spec ial agent of the Bureau of Gen. sus, has also been sent to Little Rock from Washington, to be connected with the Board of Health. These two government officials are now assisting Dr. Morgan Smith, secretary of the State Board of Health, in pre- pairing sanitary code for use over the state, which will be submitted to the Board at it's next meeting, which will be a. bout April 30.
 The Board of Health has been assigned offices in the Capitol, but they will not be equipped until after the next meeting. The present quarters are too small for the force of the de- | partment, on account of the ad-
 dition of the government ex- perts, so the Capitol Commission
 is asked to provide larger quar-
 ters on the first floor of the
 building when it is completed. . After the next meeting the
 Board will be prepared to is sue orders for the government

Shake-Up In Guard Predicted.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, April ,. Some shaking up will take place in the Arkansas National Guard when the report of Captain Albert E. Sloan, regular Army officer who is inspecting the Guard of the state, reaches Acting Governor
 Fatrell. This will be done with tie intent of saving the Guard and making it into the military organzation the state govern ment would have it be.
 Capt. Sloan, after inspecting eighteen companies in North and East Arkansas, compliments some of the companies highly, in a report made to military headquarters, and some compan- ies he has spoken of in terms of strong disapproval. There are some of the companies which Capt. Sloan ranked with any of those in the regular army, in neatness, drill and discipline. Some of the companies he states were poorly~ drilled, the armor- ies i'll kept and the members were garbed as though they had thrown the uniforms in a pile and scrambled for the different pieces they wore.
 Some of the companies cannot be complimented too highly. Capt. Sloan says: ''The pro- gress they have made is mar velous. Though they drill not more than once a week, they compare well with the regulars who drill daily, and spend a number of hours at it. I'll tell you, there is something to the company which gets out and pays the armory rent, chips in and buys lumber for the lockers in which to keep their equip ment, and then builds the lock- CT itself.
 "The action of the legislature has instilled a fighting spirit in most of the companies, and they are determined not to be mustered out of the service. This spirit will do more to maintain the Guard than any thing else, and the failure of the legislature to make an ap- propriation for the Guard ought not to hurt so very bad, for it has put the boys on their mettle and every man who talks to me on the subject expresses sur prise at the action of the legis- lature, and wants to back the Guard and keep it in service" Capt. Sloan will leave Mon- day to inspect the companies in { e Southern part of the state.

Jekyl Island, Ca, Feb. 10-The
shadow of death Friday came between
William Rockefeller and the Pujo
money trust investigators Face to
face with the oil magnate, brother, or
John ID. Rockefeller, after pursuit
which lasted over year, Chairman
Pujo and Samuel Untermyer, counsel
to the committee were compelled to
abandon victory which was in their
grasp through the very grave danger
that the long-sought witness might
die under the pressure Of cross-exam-
ination.
Submitting to the jurisdiction OF the
committee Mr.. Rockefeller received
Chairman Pujo and Mr.. Untermyer
in the library OF his apartments here.
He was practically voiceless. With
Doctor Chappell at his side, however,
the examination was begun after he
had lifted a pasied hand to subscribe
to the oath.
But twelve minutes elapsed Mr.
Untermyer had been able to ask but
single question germane to the inves-
tigation when the witness was at
tackled by violent At of coughing.
His whole frame trembled; he became
absolutely speechless. The blood
rushed to his face. which turned pur-
pie and crimson. To all who looked
on II seemed evident that a crisis was
at hand. Doctor Chappell hastily adj
ministered an opiate, under which Mr.
Rockefeller partially revived. but be-
fore the examination could be re-
sumed the doctor interposed;
81 strongly urge you not to pro-
ceed." he said. "as in doing so you are
endangering his life at the present
moment"
Chairman Pujo and Mr. Untermyer
exchanged hasty glances. BY this time
Mr.. Rockefeller had fallen back into
his chair In a state of almost COM
plete collapse. Doctor Chappell was
sworn and amid deep silence, while
every eye was riveted upon the wit
ness patient, he solennly swore that
n continuation OF the examination
which had brought Mr.. Rockefeller to
verge Of a spasm of the larynx
might choke him to death.
The patient was appealed to and
whispering feebly into the ear Of the
official stenographer he declared that
he felt in such condition that he
thought 1t unsafe to proceed further.
II was the end. Chairman Puio de-
clared the examination terminated
In the examination Mr.. Rockefeller
said, in answer to Mr. Untermyer's
question, that his residence was $50

never played a game of golf in his
