Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Oct. 22.- The Standard Home Company of Georgia, which made an unsuc- cessful attempt in the United States District court of Little Rock to nullify the Blue Sky law, has given notice that it will ap- peal to the United States Cir cult court of Appeals. When Judge Jacob Trieber announced that he could find nothing in the pleadings of the foreign insur- ance company that would make the law unconstitutional, E. L.. McHaney, representing the plaintiff, requested the right to appeal. The attorney could not state at that time to what tri- bunal the appeal would be talk en, but Judge Trieber announc- ed that if the matter was taken before the Circuit Court of Ap- peals, it would be taken no fur ther.
 Attorney McIaney has chos- en the Circuit of Appeals as it has recently passed upon the Blue Sky laws of the other states, and has declared them unconstitutional. Attorney Me Haney states this will make them familiar with Blue Sky laws in general. Those con- nected with the State Banking Department, which has charge of the Blue Sky law enforcement, state that the Arkansas law is not so drastic as those of other states, and does not contain the provisions which have permitted the courts to declare the other bills to be unconstitutional.

Actual War Conditions In Vien

Actuai war Conditions ln Nien- (By Alice Rohe, United Press
 Staff Correspondent.)
 Vienna, Oct. 6.-(By courier to Rome, thence via mail, to New York )-Vienna is a city .of lost hope, of gloom, of grave despair.
 The once gayest and most beautiful capital of Europe is today the saddest, the most dis tressed. Silent, hopeless, pro- tests against the horrors of war which have turned this wonder ful joyous city into melan- choly sepulchre for the living, permeate every stratum of so- ciety. I have seen a procession of 4,000 mothers whose husbands have died in Galicia, carrying in their arms the fatherless babes. They filed past the great cold palace of the ministry of war. It was their mute appeal for peace.
 I have seen a procession of little children, plaintive and futile emissaries against need less death. Trains arrived ev- eryone crowded with wounded. and dying. From the midst of these maimed and mutilated, sickened and suffering men I have seen uncomprehending sol diers, dazed by the horrors of war, crazed with joy at being home again dragged from their companions and placed under ar- rest. Their crime? Why they 'cried out in their delerium a. gainst the Russians who have brought such terrible defeat to the Austrian army. For no news must be whispered by the fugi- tive or the wounded which re- fleets the truth of the Austrian disasters. And above these vis- ual pictures of the melancholy Vienna of today I have sensed the touch of those gray wings of dread which cast their shadow over the town-the soiled, the sordid, the horrible wings of cholera.
 have felt, with the people, stalkine beside this hideous en- smy-the plague-its sinister spectre. hunger. In Vienna to- day seventy thousand wounded are being cared for in the hos pitals, schools, hotels universi- ties and churches. The Red Cross admits it's inability to care for the wounded and the sight of helpless men, suffering need essly and hopelessly is one which confronts the workers in

the cause of humanity.


 In all Europe there does not exist today another capital where the public IS treated 50 inconsiderately in regard to war news. The newspapers publish nothing save the official state ments-and their news" can be guessed at. Arrests are made hourly of Viennese who whisper of Austrian defeat. Spies are everywhere. In a cafe at Prat- terstrausse I sat in a nervous crowd and saw whispering refu- gees passing their story on fur lively and fearfully. Suddenly I saw young man whose face told of his recent sufferings de- sert his companions and go to the door and whisper to an of ficer. Then he departed. In a minute the fugitive was arrest ed. He had talked to a spy.
 At the same station where the incoming train brings new mis- cry for the gay Vienna that was, I talked to a young mother whose husband lay dead on a battlefield. She had fled from the capital to plead with the government. that had taken her husband and robbed her child ren of their means of support for some of the necessaries of life. She told in patient re- signed tones, of bringing the children from Galicia, where her home was to be her heaven no longer, and where blood ran deep in the garden beds.
 When we arrived at the iron. tier," she said", the scenes were awful. l was many days in getting a place on the trains, because l had no money. A po- lice officer on the train demand ed our passports and such mon- ey as we had and when we could show neither he refused for four days to let us get on"
 The natural impulse of the fugitives here is to speak of the evil days that have befallen them and of the carnage and it is hard for them to understand the reason they are arrested for it.
 The sight of automobiles car rying wounded past the brilliant Hof Theater, the Opera, the Go thic ,splendor of St. Stephens, where formerly gay cars sped on, bent on pleasure is one that now moves the Viennese to despair. l talked to one of these wounded soldiers as the car in which he was being carried, stopped, in front of the Berg theater for re- pairs. He told me in whispers, while the guards were busy with the repairs, of the frightful rav- ages made upon tn eAustrians by the Russians and Servians.
 "They have buried our dead iD heaps, he said, tears cours- ing down his face. "They were killed like sheep driven to a slaughter yard. The Russian artillery has done unbelievable things. They waste the ammu- nition as though it were as free as air. Their infantry is not good but how terrible is their artillery"
 The patriotic spirit of the Vi ennese runs to it's highest when the wounded are being carried palace of the Minister of War, through the streets. Before the the cannons and arms captured from the Russians are on view. They are insignificant arms but people do not tire of caressing them.

ST. LOUIS. Feb. e0-What has be-

Jake Stahl. Here are six managers

were ousted by the men higher up.
The Murphy-Evers incident brings to
light a few famous releases handed out
by the magnates, ones which actually
startled the baseball world. so unex-
pected they were. Look over this list
OF events:
Rog Bresnahan made $4,000 for the
Cardinals in 1911. signed to a five-year
contract In 19lo and re eased in 1918.
Jake Stahl won the worlds champion
ship in 1912 and released in 1913.
Frank Chance won four National
League pennants, two worlds cham
pionships. and released in 1913.
Johnny Evers third In 1913, had the
best club the last two months of the
season. released in 1914.
Bill Dahlen made fortune for the
Brooklyn Superbas In 1913. his firsl good
year as manager. and released at the
end Of the season.
Hank O'Day lifted the Reds to fourth
