RESENTS QUESTION
AS TO HIS SANITY

Thaw resented keenly the questions
as to his sanity If this were to be
taken up, he contended, he should be
allowed to have aliensts present Two
physicians for the immigration author
tiles, Drs. Gurd and Beauohamp, were
present.
When asked point blank If he was
sane or insane when he killed STAN
ford White, Thaw quoted. with remark
able show of memory. from the con-
flicting opinions of the many alienists
identified with his case and laconically y
suggested that the board take its
choice. He bridled when asked about
his mothers condition just prior to his
birth and said that perhaps she was
better qualified to answer.
The Thaw lawyers. despairing of de-
feating deportation. have at last begun
to make plans for resisting extraditior
on the Nerm ont side and unless Thaw
Is sent or "kidnaped' TO the Ncw York

Believed House Leader Will
Announce Candidacy if
Tariff Bill Is Passed
FRIENDS ARE URGING
HIM TO MAKE RACE
Representative Is Being Flooded With
Letters From Alabamians Asking
Him to Announce for Senate.
Assure Him of Support
By c. E. STEWART


Representative Oscar W. Underwood's an
nouncement as a candidate for United
States senator for the long term is delayed
by and conditioned on the passage of the
tariff bill
This is the firm conviction of his most
intimate friends in Washington. Even ths
most sanguine admit that the fate of the
tariff bill hangs upon a thread, or per-
haps better expression is, that it rests
upon the whims of one or two members
of the United States Senate. OF even
bama, perhaps, however, which the fate
of the tariff bill during the present ses-
sion will decide, is the political future OF
A1abamas most distinguished son. and
the south's greatest statesman, which
may be materially affected by the delayed
action of the Senate with reference to the
tariff bill, provided it is delayed.
Believed That Bill Will Pass
= The close personal friends of Repre-
sentative Underwood believe that if the
tariff bill is passed in the next two OF
three weeks, which is predicted by the
Senate leaders, that Immediately following
the passage of the bill and signing OF
that measure by the President that MI.
Underwood will announce his candidacy
for the United States senator for the long
term beginning March 4, 1915.
In fact it is confidentally believed that
if the tariff bill was already upon the
statute books that Mr. Underwood would
even now be an active candidate. The
delay in the passage bill, and the uncer-
tainty of the fate of that measure is alone
delaying Mr.. Underwood's announcement
OF course, no one doubts but what the
democratic party will ultimately pass the
tariff bill as it is written, without funda-
mental changes. President Wilson will
not agree 10 any compromises, and the
bill VIII eventually 20 through. If it has
to be deferred till the long term COM
mencing in December By that time the
party will be reinforced by having the
vacancy from Alabama filled and Sena-
tor Culberson of Texas back at his post of
duty.
The point is, that Mr.. Underwood is
tied to his present place through a sense
of his obligation to the high office he
holds AS the leader of the party In the
House, he stands sponsor for the tariff
bill, and he cannot for any personal rea-
son, or for any other reason leave that
post of responsibility until the tariff law
is an accomplished fact. In the mean
time Senator Simmons is confident that
the bill will come to final vote in 10
days or two weeks. Senator Simmons
optimism, however, is not shared fully by
other prominent members of the party.
1t is admitted that the detection of one
or two senators who are known to be
shaky on the sugar and wool schedules
may change the whole situation and per-
haps make it impossible to put the bill
through this session in such form as
would receive the approval of the Presi-

WHEN IS 4 MAN DRUNK?
Att. Gen. Moose Undertakes to De- fine Condition That Often Pug
 ZleS Officers and Courts.

Little Rock, Nov. IS Special .- When Is a man drunk?" Is ques- lion that was propounded to Attor- ney General Moose by Mayor J. B. Mcknight of Tinsman On the au- thority of a decision rendered by the Supreme court and the defni- ton given in the dictionary. Judge Moose replies as follows:
 T should say that if a man is uu- der the influence of liqOr to the extent that he has lost the normal control of his faculties. so that he IS not able to attend to his business Tn an orderly manner, it could truly be said of him that he is in a drunk en or intoxicated condition. If. on the other hand a person has been drinking intoxicating liquors, but has not lost the normal control of his faculties and is able to attend to his business in an orderly man. ner. it could not be said of him that he is drunk or intoxicated"
 The Supreme court held that in a case where a man showed some signs of the effect of strong drink, but was attending to his business in an orderly manner, that the testi- mony was insufficient to show that he was drunk"

 The object and purposes of this organization shall be to promote and foster desirable white immigra- ton into the United States, and more particularly into the southern states through the ports of the South; to secure the enactment of just and reasonable laws governing the admission of aliens into the United States; to encourage the en- actment of state laws providing for a more adequate and systematic method of procuring immigration and colonization on the part of the state governments: and to do such other things as will tend to bring into the southern states a class of immigration desirable for citizen ship and residence"

WINTER "COOLS" BOYS.
Inmates in Reform School Now
 About Half Summer Number.

Little Rock. Nov. IS SpeciaD.- The effects of cool weather, which seems to cool the unlawful spirit of the youthful offenders, Is being felt at the State Reform School This institution, with nearly fifty inmates in the summer, has dwindled to a daily feed line or twenty-eight There are more on the road to the penal institution, but there are also a number who have about served their terms.
 Tt seems as if the warm weather has it's effect upon crime says Su- perintendent Deaton flor when Il begins to get warm the boys flock in, and when it is cool they go out, with few to take their places. We hardly have enough boys during the winter 10 cut the freWood, but in the summer there are more than we can raise vegetables for on our well-rOcked hillside. So many country courts meeting in the sum mer may have something to do with it. but 1 believe the warm weather has more. or we would have more boys in the winter than we do."

WHITE ADULT"
 CAUCASIAN ONLY
Attorney General Moose Makes Ruling Bearing on Petitions for Saloon Licenses Under
 Going Act.

Little Rock. Nov li Special .- Secretary of State Hodges was asked the question. What does the Going Anu-sa.oon Act mean by the term. adult white iuhabitant?" and he passed ii on to Attorney General Moose. and he replies as follows:
 Adult means a person who has arrived at full age-eiehteen for a female and tWrn,y-one years if a male.
 White means a person of the Caucasian race. and one who has no admiXture of the blood of any other race. black. yellow. brown or red. One court has held that the son of a white father and an Indian mother could not he naturalized as a citizen of the United States, be- cause he was not a white man. Other courts have held frequently that a>White person is a member of the Caucasian race unmiXed with the blood of any other race. Some Caucasians are not very white and some Philippians are not very black. If the person is wholly Caucasian, he is white in the eyes of the law, and not otherwise. And a descend- ant of any African is a negro, if there is any perceptible negro blood in him.
 "Tnhabitant, as it is used in this act is one who resides within the limits of the town or city where the petition is being circulated"
 The attorney general therefore holds that "only persons who are of lawful age, and who are white in the sense that they are Caucasian, and who reside within the city or town where it is proposed to sell liquors. are authorized to sign tho petition for license"

MAINTENANCE OF
 ROADS VITAL NEED
Constant WatchfulneSS and Immedi- ate Repairs the KeynOte-Novel Plan by Greene County Judge
 The Patrol System.

Recently there appeared from County Judge Jackson of Greene county, the following advertisement in the Paragould Press:
 "WANTED-Two hundred men
 to pay fifty cents per month
 each, or one hundred men to pay
 one dollar a month each, for a
 fund to encourage road drag
 ging.'
 During September attention was called to the importance of drag ging the roads-and the following week some suggestions were given as to maintenance matters.
 Judge Jackson has hit the nail square on the head in Greene county. The secret of good earth roads is constant watchfulness and immediate repairs when needed "A stitch in time" is more applic- able to earth roads than any other character of road. A small de- pression will catch and hold a small amount of water for a long enough time to soften the road sur face. Traffic will take a little of the surface away with every wheel that passes over the depression. Duly q small amount of traffic is required 10 produce a good-sized mud hole. The best time to get rid of a mud hole is before it becomes a mud hole. Constant watching and immediate attention is all that is necessary
 This means the practical eslab- Hshmenl of the "Patrol System of repairs. A paDrolman is one ap- pointed whose duty as his title i'm plies, is 10 patrol the road looking out for bad places and repairing them. Many miles of road, once it Is gotten into condition. can be looked after, dragged when neces- sary and kept in good repair by a single palrolman with cart and tools.
 But it requires a little eXpendi- ture. as all good things We do not neglect repairing our fences, nor painting our houses when neceS- SitY requires We are careful to keep our wagons in good condition, the nuts and bolts frightened up, and we look carefully to see that our barn door hinges are well oiled and cared for But the road is allowed so often to go to pieces for the lack of a little judicious maintenance. Try out the Patrol System" on a few miles of your road during the winter. Judge Jackson will un- doubtedly find his people ready 10 help him, so will each county judge A little effort in this direction will convince you that these roads. prop erly looked after, can be easily and reasonably maintained and it will not be a long time before each coun- ty will install the Patrol System" to some extent.

 That General Villa does not intend to use his brilliant midnight vic tory as a cover for footing the city of Juarez was shown when the rebel troops. by his orders, stood guard over all the stores in the city. The Constitutionalist' leader says he will not tolerate robbery in any form. His soldiers already have de- stroyed great quantities of liquor and have closed the saloons.

 Villa assured Mayor C. F.. Kelly of Fl Paso that all Americans would receive protection.
