LIQUOR PETITIONS TO BE. PUBLISHED
SALO0N|ST SEE VICTORY
ARGENTA LIQUOR PETITION FILED EIGHT HOURS AFTER
 ACT IS EFFECTIVE.

Little Rock, Jan. 2.-The petition of the Little Rock saloon interests will be ready for publication the last of this week or the first of next. They are maintaining their charac- teristic reserve and optimism, and are predicting that in a short time they will be running as usual.
 Some of the saloon-keepers, how ever, are not so confident, and are preparing to go into other lines of business. Jack Ashton, occupying the celebrated Garibaldi stand opposite the old state house, has disposed of all his stock, except his fixtures, and announces that he will begin the prac- tice of law and dealing in real estate.
 There is a daily Sunday calm about the streets where the saloons have been running for years, and the greatest uncertainty as to the out come.

Argenta, Jan. Flight hours after the Going anti-saloon act went into effect the saloon men of Argenta made application to County Judge Joe Asher for license to reopen for the year 1914. The petition contains 2,849 white adults of the city, which, 1t is claimed, is majority of the white adult population of that city.
 The anti-saloon leagues attorneys examined the petitions shortly after they were filed, and announced that 200 of the signers have requested that their names be erased from the peti- tions. The anti-saloon people will re- sist the granting of license when the petitions are taken up by Judge Asher. The Little Rock petitions, said to con- tain a majority of the white adult inhabitants, will not be filed until 10 days after the signatures are printed in a local paper, as provided by the new law.
 The anti-saloon faction will resist this petition also upon the ground that the petition does not contain a ma jority of the white adult inhabitants.
