Salary of County Superintendent Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Dec. 2.-Attornev General Moose has advised Su- perintendent George B. Cook, in answer to a question, that the salary of county superintend- ent of schools shall be the same as that of his county judge, but in no instance shall the salary exceed $1,200 per annum.
 "This seems simple enough, " says the Attorney General. "The difficulty arises from the fact that in some counties the county judge performs other du- ties than those which ordinar- fly attach to the office of coun- ty judge. For instance, in Prai- rie conuty, the county judge re- ceives a salary of $500 as coun- ty judge, and an additional S2OO as road commissioner, and S20O for presiding over the common pleas court, making his con- pensation in the aggregate S1,- 200. As the county superintend- ent of schools is entitled to the same salary in Prairie county as the county judge, it would seem to follow that his salary in Prai- rie county would be $500. The county judge is entitled to a sal ary of $500, the road commits sioner's salary of $2OO and the judge of common pleas a salary of $200 and the three offices are held by one man.
 If the law had made the county judge an eX-officio road commissioner and ex-oficio judge of the court of common pleas and his salary had been fixed at the sum of 1,200, I should say in that case, the su- perintendent of schools would be entitled to S1,200 salary. So I may state as my opinion that where the salary of the county judge is fixed at a definite sum, even if he has official duties out side of the ordinary duties of county judge, the salary of the county superintendent of that county would be the salary of , the county judge, provided it be not less than $500 nor more than $1,2oo."

OF infectious diseases. Even the worst
alleys Of the city contain large meas
ure of Industrious people who seek en-
ployment in the hotels. offices and pri-

safe to say that two-thirds Of the cooks
and nurses in the fashionable sections
of the city come from and return to alley
slums several times each week.
Il speak first Of the menace OF the
alleys from the standpoint Of disease, but
in the mind OF the legislator there are
other elements showing the fearful cost
OF inhabited alleys. They are unQues-
tionably the sheltering places for crime
and the breeding ground Of vice. The
general type of these alleys 10 the same.
There is nearly always a low saloon on

Very close there to. which does a thriv-

Moral Atmosphere Bad.

THE moral atmosphere degrades and
communicates even the more industrious
classes. Alley fights and alley murders
are numerous and the Police Court record
tells a convincing tale Of the public cost
Of alleys.
MANY Of these alleys are not opened
straight through from street to street. but
branch or behind other buildings, some
times in an "H' formation. In the last
five years most Of these alleys have been
paved and gas lamps erected at the cor
ners. but 1t is manifestly impossible for
either the police department or the health
department to have the necessary super
vision OF these blind alleys and hidden
corners. In the center Of the alley gener-
ally. is found a little grocery and meat
shop, run by a white man, who is fire.
quently the only white resident of the al
ley. l am informed that he acts not only
as the merchant Of the alley, but as the
rent collector and the agent for the loan
sharks. In fact, he virtually farms out
the alley under the greedy eye OF some
more intelligent white man down town.
II could tell you many instances OF the
horrible conditions in particular alleys.
but the whole system is bad and inevita-
bly, gets worse. I could tell you many
things Of the heroic work which has been
done by philanthropic or religious So
cieties and other organizations seeking to
better the moral and physical condition
of the alley Inhabitants. The moral and
physical heroism of some Of these ladies'
in their warfare with alley conditions is
almost beyond belief They all agree
upon report, and that is that alley condi-
tons cannot be permanently bettered.
As soon as they raise the self-respect or
the moral and economic conditions on one
alley family that family moves out of the
alley to better quarters and the vacancy
thus created is promptly filled.

WILSON ON HIS WAY
TO WASHINGTON
Ambassador to Mexico Acts
Promptly When Summoned.

Mexico City, July 1S.-The Ameri
can ambassador, Henry Lane Wilson,
has left Mexico City for Vera Cruz
from which port he will sail for the
United States. The ambassador re
ceiyed orders from Washington TO pro.
coed there without delay and imme.
diately notified the Mexican foreign
Office of his intended departure. He
win lay before the administration in
Washington the exact situation in
Mexico, but not before July 81, the
earliest he can reach the American
capital, unless quarantine Is waived,
which would permit him to proceed
from Havana by way OF Key West.
Sharp Developments In Mexico dur
ing the ambassadors absence would
cause M great surprise, although al
present there is no good reason to be
lieve that the situation Will alter ma
terially. Made anxious by the long
warfare and conJectures regarding in
PREVENTION the Americans resident here
were somewhat alarmed at the ambas'
sador's summons to Washington. But
this fear was allayed to some extent
by the knowledge that the secretary
Of the embassy. Nelson O'Shaughnes.
sey, will remain.
Mexican officials show keen interest
in the ambassadors departure, but no
anxiety since they believe he will adj
yocate recognition Of the Huerta gov
eminent.
