IF it were d personal matter the

the party TO make the Senate organi-
cation represent the progressive SEN

CIRCUIT COURT AD-
 .JOURNS UNTIL MONDAY

The jury rendered a verdict a painst J $. Chastain, who was charged with perjury and fixed his punishment at one year in the penitentiary.
 This was probably one of the most important cases tried in this court. The jury was out O. yer 24 hours and it was thought that it would be unable to agree. A motion for new trial was over ruled and notice of appeal was filed. The court fixed the bond of the defendant at 5000 which was made yesterday afternoon.
 There are two other similar in- dictments in this court and they were set for Thursday but were not taken up. It is no t known whether they will be had this term of court or not
 The jury in the case of City of Prescott versus Mack and Lillian Williamson, found judgment in sum of $500 for the defendants. Greenlawn street was ordered opened by the city and the de- fendants, owners of the property through which this street lay, were given the above amount. This case will also probably be appealed.
 Court adjourned yesterday af- ternoon until Monday morning. The two negroes charged with first degree murder will be tried Monday and the negro, Mark Hicks, charged with assault with intent to kill, will be tried as soon as the two murder cases are disposed of.
 The grand jury adjourned yes terday afternoon. They found only 21 indictments.

REPORT or GRAND JURY.

To the Honorable J. M. Carter:
 We, the Grand Jury of the Jan- uary term, 1913, of the Circuit Court, hereby submit the follow. ing report
 We have returned indictments in all cases where in our judge. ment the evidence would warrant in doing so;
 We find the county jail well kept, but suggest that some re. pairs be made on the building at once. The west corner of the building is in very bad condition. We recommend that more suita- ble bedding be provided for those imprisoned in our County Jail:
 The county poor farm and the dwelling houses thereon has been examined. The inmates ar e comfortably provided for. We recommend that the back porch be reshingled; and that t h e smoke house be torn down, and a new one built in it's place. The west end of the dwelling house is in need of repair and we rec Ommend that it be done at once:
 We have not made any special examination of Public Records; but have relied upon the report of the Commissioners on Accounts and the action of the Grand Jury for the July Term 1912 of h e Circuit court, ,as making it unnec. essary for us to make any fur, ther examination.
 We have examined sixty two witnesses and have returned 21 indictments.
 We have examined number of witnesses for the sale of intoxi- eating liquors, but have failed to return but few indictments for violations of this nature, on a C. count of the seeming indisposi- tion of the witnesses to give the proper evidence.

GROWING SENTIMENT
 FAVORING ELECTION

Little Rock, Jan. 1S.-There appears to be a growing senti- ment in various parts of the state in favor of Senatorial primary, in line with the resolu- tion adopted by the house re- questing the State Central Com mittee to call snch an election. It is reported here that in sev- eral counties special primaries will be called to instruct their representatives, and some de- clare this can be done on short notice, before the election of a senator is taken up on Jan. 28.
 Senator CarlLee of Woodruff county says that he is receiving strong petitions for Robinson, Brundidge, and Norwood, and does not know what to do. He is anxious that his constituents hold an election and determine the question of preference.
 Representative Caldwell of In dependence was granted leave of absence Friday to attend a mass meeting tn at is to be held in Batesville today for the pur. pose of considering the calling of a special election for that county.
 There is developing a spirited contest between David l.. King of Hardy and Judge Kavanaugh of Little Rock for the short term. Ex Governor Donaghey has talk en a part in this by declaring: If Senator Heiskell is faithfully serving the people of Arkansas in the United States Senate, there should be no change made in the remaining short time he should be there. This period at the longest could be only un- til March 4, or about thirty working days after the change could be made, allowing weeks time for any newly elected sena- tor to get ready and get to Washington. So it can easily be seen that it would hardly be worth while to make a change even if there were any dissatis- faction about Mr. HeiSkell'S re- maining there. Mr. Heiskell is doing everything in his power for the best interests of not only the people of Arkansas, but of the entire nation as well. There is every reason for retaining Mr. Heiskell in his present posi- tion and no substantial reason for not doing so.

General Conditions Good.

WASHINGTON, July 7.-Secretary McAdOO in a statement today declared that the general banking conditions in PittSburg a. well as the entire country were strong and sound and he expected no further trouble as q result of the failure of the Pittsburg First Second National. ''The failure of the Pitts burg bank was simply a sporadic case of unsound banking and has no other significance" the secretary said. He added that the receivership of this in stitution has removed a long standing sore spot in the Pittsburg situation leaving the general condition of that city sound.
 The secretary is making a sweeping investigation of the causes of the fail ure and probably will call upon the department of justice to assist the treasury in unearthing any possible ir regularities in connection with the col lapse.
 It developed tonight that one fact that drew the criticism and attention or suspicion of the treasury department to the banks condition was the discrep- ancy of nearly $2,00O. .0OO between the sworn statement to the comptroller as to the banks condition on June 4th. and what should have been the true copy of this report published by the bank in a newspaper in Pittsburg. The law requires that every bank shall publish reports to the comptroller in response to his call in local newspapers that the public might know all the facts.

The clerks employed in the retail stores of Phoenix have decided to club together and form an organization, but in a different manner from those of most of the other cities.

 TROUBLES UP
Water Users Discuss Mat ter With Representatives of the Sheep Industry, But Decide on No Defi- mite Action

The board of governors of the Water Users association in their regular session yesterday discussed with representative of the sheep in dustry of Arizona the condition of the watershed in the Bloody, TOntO and Lime Creek basins. Reports have been received by the reclamation ser vice and the Water Users association to the effect that the pasturage of the sheep in the upper reaches of the creeks there in the Prescott for est was damaging the watershed as to seriously impair the supply of wa ter for the use of the Roosevelt pro ject
 Some time back both Engineer Far rish of the reclamation service and President John P Orme visited the places, inspected them and reported, and both were of the opinion that the watershed is being impaired by the sheep paSturage. Neither of the two men mentioned went to the spots at the same time, neither did they con suit with each other about the re ports.
 However, the sheepmen object to the proposition of shutting off the pasture from their flocks. and conse- quently President II. E. Campbell, F. A. Sawyer, Messrs. Perkins, Hess, Houck and Sutton visited the session yesterday morning and the whole morning was spent in the discussion of the proposition. However, noth- ing came of the meeting and the board deferred action until later date.
