EMIL L|Ebl|NC,
MUSICIAN, DEAD

Emil Liebling, composer, lecturer,
concert pianist, writer on the history
and theory of music and visiting di-
rector of Central College of this city,
died Tuesday morning at his home at
Chicago, Ill. He had been i'll since
last September. Overwork is beiev-
ed to have hastened his death.
Mr. Lebling was born in Pless,
Germany, April u, 1851. His talent
for music prompted his parents to
send him to Berlin, where he studied
piano under Ehrlich and Kallak. He
studied harmony and composition
with Heinrich Dorm.
Mr.. Liebling came to America in
1867, and has lived in Chicago since
1872, where he conducted studio in
Kimball Hall. He was editor of the

CAPITAL MAY GET

IA
EXPERT Is INVESTIGATING
LITTLE ROCK SEEKING SOURCE
OTHER THAN THE MUDDY
ARKANSAS.

Little Rock, Jan. 22.-Mayor Tay-
lor and party of city aldermen, ac-
companied by Edward Flad of st.
Louis, special master appointed by
the chancery court to investigate the
local water situation, left at noon to-
day in automobiles for the Little
Maumelle country to make an inves-
tigation of the situation there.
Mr.. Flad has been engaged for sew
eral months in making an investiga-
ton, and has advised Mayor Taylor
that he expects to be able to submit
his report about February Is. A spe-
cial committee of the city council has
the matter in hand, in an effort to
ascertain if some more dependable
source of wholesome water supply
cannot be found than the Arkansas
river.
The water company has submitted
to Master Flad the report of its own
engineers to the effect that there is
no other available source of supply.
Mr.. Flad declines to make any COM
ment on his report, as he is acting
IN a quasi-judicial capacity. He does
say, however. that prospects for a
deep water supply in the immediate
vicinity of Little Rock are not very
roseate, and that the most feasible
plan appears to be to secure water
from the Maumelle, about 25 miles
above Little oRck.
The water fight is an old one in
Little Rock, and reached its climax
last summer when for two weeks or
more it was impossible to use the
water because it was thoroughly sat
urated with mud.

HOLDS GOING ACT
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
MOOSE GIVES OPINION
RULING INTENDED TO BE
WITHHELD, BUT WAS STOL-
EN- FROM OFFICE.

An opinion by Attorney General
VIM. l.. Moose as to the constitution
ality of the Going law, in which he
declares the law unconstitutional. was
stolen from the office of the attorney
general yesterday, and an investiga-
ton is now being made in order to
bring the thief to justice, says the
Arkansas Gazette today.
But for the theft it is possible that
the opinion would never have been
given, for after it was written the
attorney general decided to withhold
1t Tor time at least. Gibson Witt,
who is prosecuting attorney for Gar
land and Montgomery counties, asked
for the opinion about two weeks ago,
and Mr.. Moose, after an exhaustive
investigation, decided that the law
was unconstitutional. He submitted
the opinion to several prominent at
torneys IN Little Rock, and the ma
Jorlty of those who saw it concurred
IN 1t, he says. Mr.. Moose was very
reluctant to talk about the matter
last night, and said that he had COM
municated with Mr.. Witt and told
Mr.. Witt to suppress the opinion
temporarily should he receive it. He
was informed, however, that the
statement was being made generally
IN Little Rock and Hot Sphigs that
he had decided that the Going law
was unconstitutional, and he admit
ted that this was his decision.
A Gazette special from the Hot
Springs correspondent last night said
that Judge Sumpter had called Attor
ney General Moose on the phone and
had stated to him that it was general
ly reported there that he had given
Attorney Sawyer an opinion to the
effect that the Going law was uncon-
stitutional and that the attorney gen
eral informed Judge Sumpter he had
given out no such opinion. The at
SOiiiCy SSIlel di ulu StdJ6 CnlS TO Judge
Sumpter, but explained that he had
merely had a conversation with Mr..
Sawyer and had given no official opin-
ion to him.
1t was about 1890 o'clock yester-
day afternoon that the envelope, seal
ed and addressed to Mr.. Witt. was
missed from the attorney generals
desk. His stenographer discovered
that the letter was missing a few
minutes after Mr.. Moose went out to
luncheon. Prior to his going out he
had been in conference with George
Thornburgh, Little Rock prohibi-
tion leader, and he had talked of the
advisability of releasing the opinion.
When | was informed of the theft

said Judge Moose yesterday, land
after searching through all of the
offices of my suite, decided to call the
postoffice and have them watch for
it,"

BEN ". DURHAM
BADLY DEFEATED
FORMER FAULKNER man
LOSES FOR SHERIFF IN LON.
OKE COUNTY-HEAVY VOTE
WAS CAST.

Lonoke, Jan. 22.-Complete returns
from q out of 81 townships in Lon
oke county indicate the nomination,
in yesterdays primaries, of Pat
Swain for sheriff, Judge Goodbar for
circuit clerk, Ed Holt for county
judge, Ed Robinson for supervisor
and l.. E. Tedford for one of the two
legislators
With Lonoke, Indian Bayou and
Gum Woods townships, which include
the towns of Lonoke, England, Cabot
and Tomberlin, Swain for sheriff has
1857 votes and Ben Durham, his op-
ponent, 407. Lonoke will go for
Swain and Durham will probably
carry England, his home town, but it
seems certain Swaim's big lead can
not be overcome
For county judge Ed Holt has a
lead of at least 800 votes over George
Morris, with M. C. Bizzell running
third
For circuit clerk Judge Goodbar
has good lead over his opponent H.
B. Bowers, and is probably nomi-
mated.
In the three-cornered race for
treasurer the contest is close between
Brooks, Jackson and J. V. Crutcher
the former leading by 33 votes. w.
X. Moran is not factor in the race.
Ed Robinson has a good lead over
A. H. Miller in the county supervi-
sor's race.
For the Legislature l.. f. Tedford
seems to be safe with a 500 lead, and
for the other legislator the contest is
close between w. j. Waggoner and ].
w. Shoemake. The other candidates
are J. W. FELTON, and j. S. Williams.
There is hot fight over central
committeeman for Lonoke township.
The votes so far counted show w. w.
McCrory leading DR.. F. A. Corn by
from 5to so votes.
The interest throughout the county
is shown by the heavy vote of about
3,300, the largest on record.

ATTY. GENERAL MOORE
REYERSES own OPINION

EN- ORDINANCE is SUBJECT

Little Rock, Jan. 22-The attorney
general this morning handed down
an opinion to DR.. George C. McKen-
non of Russellville, which, asserting
that an ordinance to prohibit poultry
running at large can be referred, re-
verses an opinion on the same subject
handed down yesterday. That an or
dinance Of this nature can be referred
under Act No. 1876 of 1913 was the
decision of the attorney general yes
terday afternoon, after he had hand
eds down the opinion to the contrary,
basing his contention that the ordi-
nance could be not referred under the
clauses of the tenth constitutional
amendment and the special act of
1911, designed to enable the referen-
dunn
81 reached my opinion in the mat
ter and cited Mr.. Mckennon to the
recent decision of the Tomlinson VS..

court, December %, 1913" said Judge
Moose "In reaching this opinion
overlooked the new Act No. 1875 of
1913, which explicitly sets forth that
all ordinances other than those for
appropriations for the city govern
ment may be referred to the people
of pettioned for by majority of the
legal voters within a period of 90
days after the ordinance is passed.
Under this act the ordinance to pro-
