EDISON TO Spend
WEEK IN ARKANSAS

Little Rock, Feb 9.-Sometime in
the spring Arkansas is to entertain
Americas foremost inventor, Thomas
A. Edison having accepted the invita-
ton of officials of New York COM
pany which has heavy interests in
this state, to spend week in the vi
cinity of Rogers.
Mr. Edison is interested with a
number of New Workers in lighting
and other plants in smaller towns of
the state, but it is hardly probable he
will come to Arkansas to inspect
them. 1t is supposed that he is COM
ing to take look at the radium fields
of Benton county, of which he has
heard much.
Arrangements will be made to 20
Immediately into the woods from Rog-
ers, and a camp will be pitched on
White river, where the famous inven-
tor may spend portion of his time in
fishing, as well as in research. The
guests in the party will be limited, but
several in Little Rock have been in
vited to join the party,

considerable improvement was
shown in the collections during the
third week of his round, according to
Sheriff j. S. Johnson, who came in

last week than in both of the preced-
ing weeks.
Sheriff Johnson and Deputy Nc
Nese left today for Rock Point, Pa
larm township, and will spend Tues
day and Wednesday at Bridge Creek
and Cato, in Wilson township. After

of the latter that he be appointed was
carried out by Acting Governor Flu

Besides being a careful and efficient
officer, Mr.. Coffman is most excel

friends in this county who believe that
he will easily be elected to succeed
himself.

FAULKNER CONVICT
SEEKS A PAROLE
LIE HARRIS MAKES PLEA
BOY CONVICTED OF CRIME
AGAINST COUSIN ASKS TO
BE GIVEN CHANCE.

Asserting that he has served in the
penitentiary a sufficient length of time
to be entitled to a parole, provided he
can get the promise of situation and
can make bond for 500, Lee Har-
ris, convicted in Faulkner county in
1910 and sentenced to 10 years i'm
prisonment. makes plea through the
columns of the Arkansas Gazette Sun
day for someone to come to his aid
Harris, who was only about Is
years of age when convicted, was tried
in the circuit court of this county on
August 80, 1910, and on September
the jury was discharged on account
of being unable to agree. His alleged
crime was an assault upon Mary Hen
ry, his cousin, young girl living near
Mt. Vernon. The girl testified against
him in the trial and there was appar-
emily little doubt in the minds of the
jury as to the defendants guilt, but
the members were unable to agree up
on the length of Imprisonment. On
the last ballot taken before the jury
was discharged, the vote stood seven
for seven years and five for three
years Imprisonment. Harris then en-
tered plea of guilty to the charge
and Judge f. NJ. Merriman sitting in
the place of Judge Lankford, pro-
nounced sentence of 10 years upon
him.
One-third of the sentence had beef
served last month and Harris is now
entitled to a parole if the penitentiary
commission sees fit to grant it. His
communication to the Gazette follows
Estate Penitentiary, Feb. Z, 1914.
ITO the Arkansas Gazette:
Dear Sir: In September, 1910, l

Faulkner county for a term of 10
years. l was Is years old at the time

this state in regard to pardons and
paroles is that anyone serving one.
third of their sentences shall, on rec
ommendation of the penitentiary COM
missioners, be paroled. The law also
requires prisoners to first secure a job
of work with some good, responsible
person and furnish the state bond of
500.
Il have neither a friend nor a rela-
tive to give me any assistance in this
matter and | feel that if you will
kindly assist me by inserting an ad-
vertisement in your paper, that it
might be of assistance to me in secur-
ing my liberty.
Il am willing to go to any part of

who will assist me in getting out of
this place. If you feel disposed to
assist me in this matter, you can do
as you think best. That is the only
way have to get out, and | hope that
you will assist me in this matter and
help me to regain my liberty.
II will show you and the world by
my future conduct that | appreciate

ELECTRIC POWER
FRANCHISE GIVEN
CHICAGO MANS PROJECT
WOULD SUPPLY SEVERAL AR
KANSAS TOWNS, INCLUDING
CONWAY, WITH CURRENT.

Little Rock, Feb. "a franchise
has been granted by the Arkansas
Railroad Commission to Chas. A. Bar
ton of Chicago to use the waters of the
Buffalo Fork of White river, the
North Fork of White river, and White
river itself at Buffalo shoals, for the
purpose of generating electricity. Ac-
cording to the holder of the franchise.
he will supply Little Rock, as well as
Batesville, Newport, Searcy, Conway
and many other towns of the state.
with electricity at about one third the
rate they are now paying.
A recent act of the Legislature gave
the Arkansas Railroad Commission
the right to grant franchises to water
power companies, and this is the first
application filed before the board. Mr..
Barton came without the usual flare
of trumpets, and after he had spent
several months looking over the
streams of North Arkansas. He de-
clares he will be ready to supply Lit
tie Rock within six months.
Instead of the usual system OF
dams, Mr.. Barton will place boats at
the places where he has franchises to
operate, and to them will be fastened
machinery which will force a consid-
cradle water through sluice beside
the boat. This will furnish power to
turn the machinery which will gen.
crate the electricity. According to the
promoter, the greatest cost will be in
the wires to carry the power to Little
Rock. This will require an outlay of
81 100000 The three boats will cost
about one-half of that sum.
The holder of the state franchise
has made no effort to secure a fran
chise from any city of the state, but
states he will be prepared to supply
them with electricity when his lines
are all ready.
Under the scale filed by the fran
chise holder with the Railroad Com
mission, electricity will be sold in Lit
tie Rock at about one-third the usual
rate. He will sell electricity in Little
Rock for three cents per kilowat,
where 10 cents is now being paid. He
will sell electricity to large consumers
at one-half that price.
After securing his franchise, Mr.
Barton as quietly left the city, going
to his home in Oak Park, suburb of
Chicago, where he will prepare his
plans for building the boats.
Nothing is publicly known in Con-

Nothing is publicly known in Con
way of Mr.. Barton's proposal to bring
electric current from the White river
to this city. Unless unusual advan-
tages to consumers could be offered it
is considered hardly probable that a
local franchise would be granted here,
as the electric plant in this city is
municipality owned.

BATTLE OF A|SNE
STILL |. IN. IN PROGRESS
ALLIED ARMIES AND GERMANS
ARE IN DEATHLY GRIPS IN
BATTLE LINE.
FEW DETAILS ARE GIVEN n OUT
Strict Censorship is Observed and All
News Is Epitomized in There Is
No Change In Situation"

Furious fighting continues in north
erny France where the allied French
and British armies are at grips with
the German forces in what is charac-
terized as the crucial action of the
battle Of ,thes Aisne. Beyond admit
ting this fact the official statements
are vague. Few details of the strug-
gle which may be the turning point
of the Western campaign have been
given the waiting public.
One sentence: There is no change
in the situation" epitomizes the Off
cial reports from London, Paris and
Berlin. The allies claim to have
made slight advances here and there,
notably on the heights of the Meuse.
The German official statement, how
ever, declares that reports concerning
a victorious advance of the enemy
are untrue"
Both the British and the French
official statements refer to the vio-
.lence of the attacks made by the Ger
mans, who seem to have redoubled
their efforts in an attempt to hurl
back the allied line. The reports in
dictate, however, that the French and
British have given no ground.
A very righteous censorship evil
IDENTIFY has been imposed at virtually
all points particularly in London, re-
garding the operations at the front
as very little news is being permitted
to come through. The war officials
probably hesitate to raise the hopes
of the people without some decisive
result having been attained and fear
that the publication of even the
smallest details of the operations
might be of aid to the Germans.
Petrograd reports officially that the
Austrian stronghold of Przemysl in
Galicia is invested completely by the
Russians and that the main Austrian
army is retiring behind the Car:
pathians into Hungary, pursued by
the Russians. Berlin, however, de-
clares that reports of the fall of two
of the Pryzemysl forts are invention

We have not detailed information as

erwise, is that the banks are charging

Our banks are not making any new
