FREEDMAN "CURf"
 MAY BE INJECTED AT STATE SANITARIUM PATIENTS MUST ACT OF OWN ACCORD IF TUBERCULAR
 SERUM IS USED.

Little Rock, Aug. 7.-Unless they act of their own accord, none of the patients of the Arkansas Tuberculosis Sanatarium will be given the Fried mann treatment by the physicians who are now in the state administer ing the serum. This has been decided by the board of trustees of the sana- tarium, carefully being weighed by that body before a. decision was reached.
 When the physicians came to Ar kansas, announcing that the serum would be injected into all who applied, many patients of the sanatarium nat urally expressed desire to take the treatment. The board of trustees was notified of this request, and held a special meeting in Little Rock to go fully into the matter.
 When the decision of the board was reached, Dr. Stewart, the head of the state institution, informed the pa- tients that the treatment was not ap- proved by the trustees, and without a murmur, the patients accepted the wishes of the trustees.
 One of the trustees stated that the situation was a delicate one, for if there is merit in the alleged cure, it would seem cruel on the part of the directors to deny the patients the hope |of getting well.
 The trustees went into the Fried man cure in order to protect the pa tients, and this influenced their final action. It was pointed out that the United States government is more in- terested in this one disease, than all others, and will be the first to recog- nize cure, when one comes, but the government has drowned on the Fried man cure, and has advised those af- flicted with tuberculosis not to spend their money upon it, consequently the trustees thought they would be best in protecting the helpless patients at the sanitorium by advising they ignore it for the present.
 Soon after the decision from the Board of Trustees, the physicians left Little Rock, though they would gladly have gone to the state institutions and vaccinated every patient there with the serum, for the prestige it would have given them in other parts of the state.

THE GRAND.

Ruth Roland and John E. Brennan in "Pat, the Cowboy" will be the fea- ture attraction at the Grand tonight. Pat bids farewell to the ould sod and sets sail for America, where he se- cures work on ranch. His eccentric ities furnish a great deal of amuse- ment for the cowboys, and Betty, the ranchman's daughter, misses no op- portunity to ridicule the stranger. Pat is ostracised when he starts to corral the pigs. Betty has given her prom ise to the foreman and awaits his coming at the church. Bandits hold him up on the route. Pat captures them, leads them to town, and Betty decides her first choice was mistake.

THE ARKWAY.

Kathleen Mavoureen,' three-reel Imp feature, will be shown at the Arkway tonight. The action in these reels is sharp, gingery. There is no dragging. There are many situations of dramatic suspense. In order to ac- centuate these the author has elected to mildly deceive those whom he will entertain with this picture. Kathleen falls asleep by the fireplace and dreams. The events which follow are those which come to her in her sleep. It is near the end of the third reel be- fore Kathleen awakes-and it is quite certain that those who are following her will wake up" at the same time. The price of admission will not be in- creased.

PATTERSON APPOINTED
 TO CIRCUIT JUDCESHIP
ONE OF GOVERNOR GEORGE w HAYS FIRST OFFICIAL
 ACTS.

Little Rock, Aug. 7.-One of the first official acts of Governor George w. Hays will be to appoint w. E. Pat terson, an attorney of Fl Dorado, to fill the vacancy caused by his resigna- tion as judge of the Thirteenth judi Icial circuit. Judge Patterson is a prominent attorney of south Arkansas and close friend of the new gover- nor. His appointment is made with the understanding that he is not to be candidate to succeed himself
 c. L. Poole of Hampton, N. C.. Marsh of Fl Dorado and Judge c. w.. Smith of Camden, will be the candi- dates in the special primary, soon to be held to select a Democratic candi- date for the office. All are close friends of Governor Hays and he did not want to give any one the advan- tage by appointing him to fill the office until the special election is held. For that reason he appointed a ffriend Lwho does not seek the honor, and who will gladly relinquish it to the suc- cossful candidate.
 As soon as the committee has met and selected the date for the primary then Governor Hays will call special election to be held 30 days later as is required by law.

Mr. Bryan has fallen upon propitious
times for promulgating his world
peace project. He would like to see
the nations leagued in a general
scheme TO limit ornaments. and then
would supplement that arrangement
with sort of application of "Jeffer-
sons rule as it used to appear In
the McGuffeys Third Reader when
angry, count 10: when very angry,
count 100" was the Jefferson precept.
Mr. Bryan wants the nations to
pledge themselves to a procedure that
will compel them to think ii over and
cool of before starting hostilities.
Certainly the time Is god for such
a modest project. Germany is bowel
in humiliation at learning how its war
spirit has been commercialized. Aus
tria is almost broken-backed under
its burdens. France and Britain are
ready and anxious to try military and
naval sanity for a change.
The world ought to be ready to lis
ten amiably TO Mr.. Bryan; and GER
tainly there is nobody who is more
able to state the case more eloquently
and under less suspicion of selfish,
unscrupulous Interior motives by our
nation. Nobody could fear we are
aiming to have the great powers d.
minish their ornaments so that we
might grab their possessions.--Phi

The publication OF Col. Rooseyelt's
correspondence with President TAFT
on that subject at this time would be
most illuminating. Former President
Roosevelt is not entirely in accord

coercive measures II necessary TO pre-
vent any state taking such action as

that no state has right 10 afford an

against Japanese aliens on the ground
that they were Japanese aliens. This
provision in the treaty then existing

the Japanese. They were willing to
make any concession to the United

Japanese end Of the game.
At that time, Japan was taking an

While the negotiations were pend

TO substitute 'gentleman's agree

treaty touching alien Japanese, Col.
Roosevelt heard what was going on
and wrote to President Taft a letter
Of vigorous protest. He reviewed his
own experience in this matter while
he was president, offering Taft the
benefit OF his advice. and urging in
the strongest terms that Japan's re-

out the very great difference between
