INSPECTOR HERE TO
 SEE POSTOFFICE SITES

Government Site Inspector Dunlap Wakefield of the United States Treas ury Department arrived in Conway today for the purpose of inspecting the proposed sites for postoffice building in this city, an appropriation of S5,000 for which was made early last year
 MT. Wakefield, in company with Postmaster H. B. Ingram and others, has visited several of the sites which were offered the government when bids were submitted last April, as we'll as other locations which have since been proposed He will meet with number of the citizens in the offices of the Faulkner County Bank to discuss the matter this afternoon. As yet he has given no intimation of what his recommendations will be and it is not considered probable that he will announce his decision while here.
 A proposition which seems to be meeting with considerable favor is the location of the building in the north east quarter of the public square north and east of the new passenger station A petition asking that this site be selected is being circulated to- day, but it is understood that no defi- mite arrangements for the acquire ment of the property have been made The ownership of the square is a mooted question, it being conceded that certain portion of it belongs to the city and the remainder to the rail road company, but the line between the two has never been established

RESENT CLARK'S
 FRAUD CHARGES
PRAIRIE co. CONVENTION
A DOPTS RESOLUTIONS-JUDL CAL CONVENTION SET FOR
 APRIL 23.

Resolutions resenting the charges of fraud in the judicial election raised by George w. Clark of Conway were | adopted at the Prairie county Demo- cratic convention in session at DeValls Bluff yesterday. At the same time the Democratic central committee for the | Seventeenth judicial district met and canvassed the returns of the race for circuit judge, declaring Thomas C. Trimble the nc",!aee by plurality of TT over MT Clark. The committee called the judicIar eonvenlIo, o e held at Stuttgart April 23
 MT Clark today declined to make any statement with reference to the proceedings in Prairie county. He said however, that he was not present when the vote was canvassed, as he was engaged in the trial of the Whit 1 ley murder case at that time Later on, he said, he would issue a statement presenting his side of the contest. 1 The resolutions adopted at the Prairie county convention were as fo- l lows:
 Whereas. We notice in the Arkan- sas Gazette an article credited to the Hon. Geo. w. Clark to the effect that the vote of Prairie county has been padded and as q result thereof Judge .
 T. C. Trimble, Sr., and James P. Clarke had been made the beneficiaries of said padding; and
 | Whereas, Knowing that said charges are without foundation as to the facts, we feel that MT. Clark, if correctly reported, made such state ments while feeling the sting of his defeat and acting on the reckless statement of a disappointed sup porter; and
 Whereas, lnasmuch as MT. Clark was present at the meeting of the county central committee and failed to raise his voice or to protest against the canvassing of the vote, we are in cined to believe that he was not cor rectly reported, but take this means of saying that said charges, if made, are not true, and that the Democratic primary election of Prairie County, held on March 25, 1914, was regular fair and honestly carried on and said vote honestly canvassed and counted.
 "Attested: J. c. THWEATT, Chairman County Convention,
 Prairie County, Ark.
 "A. l.. AYDELOTTE, Secretary"

Trimble of Lonoke 3,029 Geo. w. Clark 1852 and J. S. Thom- as 1895; Trimble's plurality over Geo. w. Clark being TIT in the dis trict. By unanimous vote the com mittee decided to hold the judicial convention in Stuttgart on April 23

Man and Starched Collar

from lSlIe.
 The papers report that a league has been formed to ''emancipate man from the starched collar"
 Nonsense Man does not need any such emancipation. except on some extra hot days in summer and then he enamel pates himself.
 There is more moral support. more re- Enforcement of character, in starched collar than can be had in any other form for the same money. The starched collar is the badge of European civilization. Asia never developed 1t. Neither did Africa. The Chinese have had civilization for 1000 years. but no starched collar. Where is their civilization now? It has gone 10 the laundry
 The Hindoos are kind to animals and a thoughtful people. but they have never taken to starched collars. Where are they now? Trying to land in British Columbiay trying to stay in South Africa and being shooed away by collar wearers
 The Persians are on the run The Japanese, the liveliest people in Asia, when they accepted western civilization, accepted starched collars with both hands. The American negroes wear the tallest and stiffest collars to be had. There is hope for them.
 The starched collar is the palladium of responsibility. It is the token of victory over self. Talk about abolishing it is bosh Abolish trousers if necessary; na- tions have become great without them; but stick to the collar and stick to the starch.

PORRAS SCREENING ID KEEP HIMSELF IN POWER IN PANAMA Depends On Control of Ma
 tional Assembly-He
 Claims Majority
TWO FACTIONS IN
 LIBERAL PARTY
Anti-Porras Men Believe They Can Swing Enough Votes to Check
 mate the President When Body Convenes

Panama August 22=The result of the recent election of members of the national assembly apparently assures President Belisario Porras the support of 19 out of the 33 members who will qualify when the next session 'convenes in September.
 While this is a rather small working majority for the government faction ol the liberal party, the President and his followers are looking forward to the control of the assembly.
 On the other hand the 14 on-Porras members who are followers of Dr. Carlos A. Mendoza. who styles himself as the real-leader of the liberal party, in that he is the duly elected chair man or president of the liberal na- tional committee, believe they will be able when the time comes to swing the votes of enough Porras followers to do as they like in the way of leg islation. It Is pointed out that there is much dissatisfaction with the. Porras administration, even among its closest adherents.
 The importance of the control of the national lawmaking body is apparent 
 when it is rememb cred that this body elects the five "designados,' or vice presidents of the republic. They are not elected when the President Is chosen by popular ballot but by the assembly immediately after the presi dential election, when 1t holds its first session under the new administration.
 Great Importance This Year
 It is of still greater importance this year for the reason that the present administration is said to have evolved a plan whereby it may perpetuate it. self in power for another term of four years. A President may not succeed himself within six months after leav- ing the office. The control of the as senbly permits him to say who shall be the first vice president. It is said the scheme is to attempt the election two years hence of Dr. Ramon NJ. Val iez. a friend of President Porras, to the presidency with the understanding that he shall resign at the end of his first six months in office. In the meantime Dr. Porras would have been elected first vice president and he thus become President again, he having ceen out of the presidential office for six months as the law provides.
 Such a result, however, is compatible neither with the desires nor the plans of the political leaders of the republic. They have heretofore made it rule to see that no man shall be president for more

HOW KAISER FIRST RECEIVED NEWS 0F
 EUROPEAN CRISIS
His Only Comment Was, Things Are Moving Norwegian Fiord When
 Message Came

christiana, August % = (Special) Whether the Kaiser is most to blame for
 the worldwide war or not, it is fact
 that he was sojourning peacefully in Norwegian fiord when the crisis arose. The story of how he received the news that great events were impending was told here today by one of the pilots who was aboard the Hohenzollern, the Prus- sian royal yacht, at tn time.
 The yacht was at Balholm on one of the most picturesque of the long deep arms of the sea penetrating the coast. Saturday, July PA
 The day before the Kaiser had been fishing for trout, and had been very suc- cessful. He had ordered the trout cooked as part of a banquet which he was giving to 200 persons, mostly Norwegian friends It was arranged that the yacht and the squadron of 40 war vessels which had been maneuvering in the vicinity should leave Sunday morning, July 25, at sunrise. The Kaiser shook hands with the pilots as they came aboard about noon Saturday. He was in excellent spirits and said: I've who pretend to know our way about the seas would really be helpless without you"
 At this moment an officer approached. He had wireless message in his hand. which he presented to his sovereign with a deep obeisance
 The Kaiser scanned the contents and instantly his face became very grave. He turned to a high naval officer and handed the message to him. The officer read and then appeared as if struck dumb.
 The Kaiser took the message from the officer, wrote reply on the back and handed the slip to the messenger. saving loudly to the officers Everything is moving,''
 The Kaiser hastened to his saloon and his suite followed. Banquet was forgot ten Orders were given for leaving in- stantly. The Kaiser began a series of conferences with his officers.
 What he meant by Everything is nov ing IS matter for conjecture. He may have simply expressed surprise at the rate With which an unexpected situation was confronting him.
 on the other hand, his words may be taken to equal: ''Everything is going along as arranged" A
