State Candidates Speak.

Before court was opened Ell day afternoon in the Board building, some of the attorneys not being ready to proceed with the license hearing, two promi- nent Little Rock citizens, who are candidates for state office, were given few minutes to speak.
 Mr. l.. l.. Coffman of Boone county was the first to be intro Guced. He told of his appoint ment to fill the uneXpired term of MT. Oathout as state auditor and of how he had proceeded to conduct that office so that the exact financial condition of the state might be shown every day. He reviewed the various eXpens- es of the state and of how much was required to keep up the va Iious state institutions, show ing where the tax moneys of Arkansas were going. He spoke of the complimentary vote Jack son county gave him in a pre- vious race and solicited the same favorable consideration of his present candidacy.
 Mir. w. B. Owen of Miller county, who is a candidate for state land commissioner and state highway commissioner, stressed the importance of the land department as we'll as the need of better roads in Arkan- sas. He opposed the convict lease system and gave his ideas of how the state should proceed in encouraging and supporting road building.
 If the people should choose him, he would not regard his election as an honor, but only an opportunity to achieve honor through capable administra- tion of the same.

FOUR CHARGED
 WITH FELONIfS
John H. Keel, Jewel and Ira Best and Lee Quinn Arrest
 ed and Give Bond.

Following close upon the heels of the grand jury report show ing the awful conditions exist ing upon the county farm, bench warrants were issued and serv- ed upon John H. Keel, the keep CT of the convict farm, Jewel Best, Ira Best and Lee Quinn, guards over the convicts at the farm, charging each with as- sault with intent to kill and ac- cessory before the fact to as- sault with intent to kill.
 The arrest of ex-Senator Keel was made by Sheriff McCuistion and the arrest of the three guards named was made by Deputy Alb McGuffey.
 The bond of each was fixed at 5000 and given with the fol- lowing sureties: H. c. Sanders, J. R. Loftin, IT,, and John H. Keel.
 NO ACTION YET.
 The report of the grand jury had not been received by the county court up to Friday morn- ing and Judge Coe has conse- quently taken no action upon the contract of the county with John H. Keel.
 The court will probably not consider the county farm mat ter, until the hearing upon the liquor petition has been conclud- ed and it is reported that Judge Coe will appoint a committee of responsible citizens to make fur ther investigation of conditions upon the county farm and the treatment accorded prisoners before taking action upon the county's contract with John H. Keel.

NIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY AS SPORT

Washington, d. c., April 24-George
Shiras. third, who has just arrived in
Panama to assist Colonel Goethals in
making the canal zone a large and
! safe maven for birds and animals, is
the originator of night photography OF
wild animals and the pioneer hunter
with the camera. When in congress
he was the author of the original bills
putting migratory fish and birds I'M
der federal control, the bill pertaining
TO birds becoming law last year, I'M
der the name of the Weeks-McLean
bill. He has also suggested a series of
international agreements to protect
birds migrating between nations, in a
brief filed with the senate.
Mr.. Shiras' most recent contribution
on the subject of the newest form of
sport, camera hunting. is in the shape
OF a communication to the National
Geographic society at Washington, d.
c. He opens up a wide range OF pos
sibilities for the sportsman and throws
new light on the proper way to teach
the young idea how to shoot"
"A camera and accessories can be
so arranged that any animal or bird
and many reptile. however large or
small, agile or cunning. may have it's
picture faithfully recorded. durin gday
light or darkness. without the immedi-
ate presence of a human assistant"
writes Mr.. Shiras. "To meet the diff
culties, have developed methods suit
able to the habits OF each animal. In
the main. have used many of the de-
vices OF the trapper rather than the
hunter. substituting the automatic cam
era for the trap and using the same
bats and scents In favorable localities
and during the season OF the year
when success is likely. Some who take
up camera hunting become discour-
aged by early failures, and are unable
to see how such an instrument can
ever be a satisfactory substitute for

sportsman shoots in moderation and is
willing to cooperate in the efforts to
conserve the game supply by shorter
seasons, by the establishments of game
refugees, and in the elimination of the
market hunter. The sentimentalist
who decries the killing of all game
birds and animals is not infrequently
one who grumbles when a joint is
tough because the lamb was not killed
earlier in its gambols. The successful
wing-shot, who enjoys plpcking from
the air bird on its meteoric flight
across the sky, can, if he tries, capture
one, a dozen, or 100 within the con-
fines of a sensitive plate, while a
marsh scene or the rolling breakers
