DR. KIRKLAND HAS

Western Newspaper Urion News Service
 Little Rock.-The presidency of the University of Arkansas has been de- cIined by Chancellor J. H. Kirkland of Vanderbilt University This in formation was contained in letters to members of the University Board of Trustees.
 Chancellor Kirkland had determined fully. it is said, to accept the presi- dency and come to Arkansas at once. but while in New York recently a large sum of money was rendered him to endow the medical school of Van- derbilt University. The gift has some conditions which members of the board do not approve, and it is possible it may not be accepted by the Board of Trustees when 1t meets at Nashville, June 16. The persons who are offer ing this donation to the Vanderbilt medical school insist that Chancellor Kirkland shall remain at Vanderbilt long enough to put the medical school on firm footing. His friends at Nashville also insist that he is under obligation to remain there temporarily, and the chancellor himself has come to the conclusion that his leaving at this time would make him liable to the accusation of preferring his own personal interests to the good of Van. derbilt
 It is still hoped that Chancellor Kirk, land can be induced to come to Arkan- Gas and it is believed that if the en- dowment to Vanderbilt is refused he will come. It is probable that even if the gift is accepted by Vanderbilt the presidency will be held open by the board and that Mir. Kirkland will ac- cept the Arkansas position sometime during 1914.

RULING AGAINST
 LIQUOR DEALERS
ATTORNEY GENERAL DECIDES LEGISLATIVE ACT CANNOT
 BE REFERRED
FIGHT GOES INTO COURTS
Contest Will Probably Be Carried Into Higher Tribunals of the
 United States.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rock, Ark.-Attorney General Moose in his opinion handed on Act 59 of the last legislature. which will have the effect of forcing saloons out of Arkansas. ruled that the act could not be referred to the voters of the state
 The dicision Of MT. Moose caused great surprise among the liquor deal- CTS because they had been expecting a favorable opinion.
 In handing down his opinion, the at torney general took the view that the legislature added the emergency clause because an emergency really existed in Arkansas and delayed the effectiveness of the law until January 1, 1914, only in fairness to liquor dealers who had paid licens and rents for the year 1913.
 The attorney general says the legis lature had the power, if not the moral right, to make the act effective at once but delayed the operation of the law
  tlce to the liquor dealers.
 In dealing with the omission of the word immediate" MT. Moose points out that the Supreme Court of Arkan- sas has held the use of the exact word ing of the state constitution in draft ing bills is not essential
 The legislation necessarily is "im- mediate" the attorney general says in conclusion, although its effect, in crder to be just to the business in terests involved, may be postponed. IL would be strange limitation upon the powers of the legislature to say it could not do this without nullifying it's finding that such legislation is ne cessarily for the preservation of the public peace, health and safety"
 Soon after the opinion by the attor- ney general Morris M. Cohen attorney for the liquor interests, filed manda mus proceedings in the Pulaski Cir cult Court to have Secretary of State Hodges file the petitions and have Act 59 referred to the electors of the state The case will be heard June 13.
 The liquor dealers have expressed the intention of fighting the new law through all the state courts, and if fla vorable opinions cannot be had to carry the case of the Supreme Court ot the United States.
 If the case is taken to the Supreme Court it will have the effect of sus- pending the act until a decision is handed down, which will be about two years as it is usually that length of time before the Supreme Court acts.

truth. The romance OF his narrative
was far beyond fiction,
Philip himself grew enthusiastic as
he went on. His brown eyes blazed
again with the memory OF his wrath
and shame at the arrest. He told the

between the policeman and a burglar.
