Supreme Court Takes Recess.

Handing down 20 opinions and issu- ing orders in score of other pending cases, the Arkansas Supreme Court met Monday for the last time until September 21.
 The Supreme Court affirmed the de- cison of the Pulaski Chancvery Court in the mandamus action of the Kimber, lite Diamond Mining Company against Secretary of State Earl ". Hodges, upholding the state law, which permits forfeiture of a foreign corporations license to operate in Arkansas when that company causes lawsuit to be removed from the state courts into federal courts
 Secretary Hodges revoked the Kim berlite's Company's license on these grounds and the corporation sought to compel him to grant them the license The Supreme Court ruled that the state has right to forfeit license when it is optional with the state whether it permits the corporation to do business in the state.
 Holding that the business of laun- dry is personal service and there fore is not included in the states anti trust laws, the Supreme Court sus' tained the action of the Pulaski Cir cult Court in dismissing Attorney Cen eral Moose's s2,OO000 suits against five Little Rock laundries. Judge Moose charged that the Little Rock laundries had formed a combina- tion in restraint of trade and asked heavy damages from the Frank Steam Laundry, the Little Rock Hand Laundry, the Little Rock Laundry and 1 the Peoples Laundry.

News Gratifying to Washington.

Washington.-NeW of General Flu erta's resignation as provisional presi dent of Mexico was hailed by oficia Washington as the first practical ster toward a quick solution of the Mexican problem. Constitutionalist diplomats and officials of the United States were elated over General Fiucrta's yolun- tarily withdrawing and predicted an era of peace in his country.
 Although the Constitutionaljste have declared they would not recosniic Francisco Carbajal as provisional m esident. and the Unite5 states gov errment will likewise refus to recoS- nize him, the understanGirS here is that the new executive will hold office only unt. arrangements can be made fo- the entry of Genera! Carran7a, the Constitutionalist chief.
 General Huerta's retirement came just as the Constitutionalists were preparing their formal note declining participation in informal conferences with Huerta representatives to discuss internal Mexican questions.

 Memphis.-Five hundred acres of dead fish line the shores of Waupo. noca lake at the Wauponoca Outing Clubs reservation in Arkansas, ac- cording to reports received here. Lack of rain is assigned as the cause.
 The lake, scarcely more than two feet deep at the deepest point. ordi. narily covers l 300 acres of ground During the last few weeks the lake has dried up rapidly and unless heavy rains come soon it will be entirely dry.
 At normal stage this lake abound with fish. The 300 acres of water which has been dissipated into the air has left thousands of fish dead on the banks The shores are lined with dead black bass, carp and the like and hundreds are dying daily because of insufficient water.
 This is one of the favorite fishing resorts of East Arkansas. and has not been so low in many years.

 THE RAILROADS IMPORTANT MEETING OF RAIL ROAD COMMISSION
 BEING HELD. AT EUREKA THIS WEEK Thorough Revision of Freight Rates to Succeed Standard Distance

Al EUREKA THIS WEEK
Western Newspaper unIon New, Service.


 Eureka Springs. s.-Tuesday mornino marked the opening of the joint rate meeting of the Arkansas Railroad Com. mission, railroad representatives, and shippers of Arkansas at Eureka Springs, which it is thought will cul. inmate in a thorough revision of freight rates throughout the state. The meeting was transferred to Eureka Springs on account of the heat.
 At this meeting there will be taken up new tariff proposed and compiled under the order of the commission in an effort to reach rates that will be agreeable to both railroads and ship. pers. The new tariff, it is said. will not materially decrease rates in gen. eral, neither will it make them any higher, but it is a complete revision of the tariff now in use.
 This new tariff, if adopted, will be called Standard Distance Tariff No. i, and will replace Standard Distance Tarifr No. and the court tariff will be entirely intrastate.
 This tariff has been compiled by H. M. Gregory, rate expert of the commits. sion, who has sent out copies to the railroads operating in Arkansas and all shippers bureaus and private ship pers who applied for them MT. Greg ory last week finished comparative statement of the tariff now in effect in all states of the United States.
 The meeting will last at least a week and probably longer with a pos sibility of the meeting in Little Rock at future date may be necessary.
 In addition to the officers of the commission, consisting of Chairman w. F. Mcknight, J. Sam Rowland, Sec retary Ernest Tipton and Rate Expert H. M. Gregory, many representatives of the shippers and railroads will at tend

 Two other deputies spoke for ac- ceptance, declaring it was the only way to save the country
 Several generals and the ministers of communications. public instruction and ipterior in the Huerta cabinet, Arturo Alvaradejo, Garcia Naranio and lgnacio Alcocer respectively, as well as other high officials of the former administration left the capital late Wednesday. Jesus Urueta.

 General Huerta Leaves Capital.
 General Huerta and General Blan- quet left the capital Wednesday night. They boarded a train on the Mexican Railway few miles beyond the city It is thor-ht they are going to Puerto Mexico.
 Before his departure, Ererta went to the National Palace to pay his re- spects to President Carbaial
 There was complete lack of disorder in the city and the theaters and cafes were crowded The populace now is hopeful that peace is in sight. Hu erta's popularity apparently increased greatly after his resignation, as the Mexicans now look upon him as a good loser.
 Shortly after o'clock General fIu- erta, accompanied by a few friends, entered the French cafe, which he has visited daily for a year or more an' took his usual place near the entrance.
 An immense crowd followed the eX- president to the cafe, shouting "Nivas' for him. Many shook him by the hand, while others embraced him and several kissed him on the cheek.
 The stern old soldier was overcome, and tears filled his eyes. He raissl his glass and said

No Federal Question Involved.

W. T. Maxwell, in charge of the Blue Sky department of the State Bank Commission, says that in his opinion the decision of federal judges in Iowa. declaring the Blue Sky law of that state unconstitutional, has no bearing upon the Arkansas statute.
 The Iowa law was held to be void because it seeks to discriminate a. gainst nonresident corporations in fla vor of home companies, by placing more rigorous restrictions upon them. No such question can be raised against the Arkansas law, which treats all alike, both home and foreign.
