HAYS RESPITES ARTHUR HODGES
 FOR ONE WEEK Saturday, Nov. 21, Set as New Date for Execution of Officers Slayer. COMMISSIONERS TO
 SUPREME COURT Highest State Tribunal Asked to De. eide If Inferior Court Can Interfere After Supreme Court Has
 Decided.

Little Rock, Nov. 14.-Governor George ". Hays issued a proclama- tion today granting Arthur Hodges, to have been electrocuted today for the murder of Morgan Garner, depu- ty sheriff at Amity, Clark county, a weeks respite. setting next Saturday as the day of electrocution.
 The respite was granted to give time for the supreme court to rule on a petition for a writ of prohibition filed today in which the penitentiary commissioners, as plaintiffs, asked that J. B. Martineau, chancellor of the Pulaski county chancery court, and Joe Asher, judge of the county court, be declared acting without jur- isdictional rights in interfering
 Governor Hays, in his proclamation, asks that the ruling be made to the effect that the Pulaski county court cannot unlawfully interfere or else tell the people of the state that re- gardless of legal conviction the courts of Pulaski county are vested with au- thority to enjoin and prevent the proper execution of the law.
 Yesterday afternoon the penitenti- ary commissioners appeared in the Pulaski chancery and county courts and asked that the cases be dismiss sed. Judge Asher overruled motion to dismiss the petition in his court asking for a sanity inquest, and Chancellor Martineau declined tC quash the injunction proceedings in his court.
 The writ filed by the attorney gen eral today will be submitted to the supreme court Monday morning. It is probable that immediate action will be taken; at least, Governor Hays believes the court will give it's deer sion before the date set for the execu- tion-a week from today.

PLAN 70 DIVIDE
 OKLAHOMA STATE
Movement Starts at Tulsa , to SeparsJe Gilfaaa Tarln ing Sections.

Tulsa. Okla., Nov. 14.-The division of Oklahoma into two states, North and South Oklahoma, with the divid- ing line between latitude B and 36, is contemplated in movement launched in Tulsa today, which, it is understood is supported by several influential counties, which by the di- vision would find themselves in the proposed state of North Oklahoma.
 The great oil interests in this end of the state are favorable to the movement, according to information Just what steps will be necessary to bring about a division of territory is not definitely understood, but it is asserted that if the proposition is ap- proved by a majority of the vote of the entire state, congress will agree to an enabling act for the two states.
 Under the proposed division each would share almost equally in terri tory, resources, state institutions, wealth and population.
 It is said that unfair tax on the oil industry, coming chiefly from agri- cultural sections of the southwesterA part of the state, and friction of long standing between the northern and southern sections of the state are some of the reasons for the move ment to divide the state.

GERMANS CUT TO PIECES.
Heavy Machine Gun Fire of French MOws,D0WA Germans Near Ypres.

Paris, Nov. 14.--The French and the British and Belgian allies won to- day in every encounter from Lille to the North sea. The German attacks were met strongly and the invaders were driven back at every point of German attack.
 The Germans have dug fresh trenches, brought up heavy reinforce ments and mounted additional batter- ies of heavy and rapid-fire guns for the defense of Dixmude, and the all lies are massing strong bodies of troops on the left bank of the Yser. opposite the town, for final assault, which promises to be the most bit terly fought battle on this section of the fighting line.
 Strengthening of the allies flank thrust eastward from the pivotal po- sition at Ypres is progressing. and the French and British are making desperate efforts to press the line for ward until it's end rests on ZOnnebeg, east of Ypres and Langmarcke, i've miles to the north.
 Two violent attacks were directed by the kaiser's troops against the allies positions in the course of the days fighting, one to the northeast of Zonnebeg. and the other to the

Fort Smith, Nov.s 14.-Four months to the day from the time that the bat tie was fought at Prairie Creek as the result of the lockout of the union miners at Bache-Denman mine No. 4, the special United States grand jury investigating the difficulties in that section as a result of the defiance shown to the orders of the United States district court, will reconvene Tuesday. The jury adjourned a week ago Saturday, after examining thirty two witnesses.
 It is confidently predicted that on Wednesday the jurors will make thelr first report to the court, and that they will hand down large number of in- dictments. From the character of the witnesses already examined it is believed that sufficient evidence has been gathered to warrant the jury in indicting at least twenty persons.

James K. Vardaman, junior senator from Mississippi, and since the retire. ment of Senator Bailey, perhaps the most striking figure in American pub lie life, was visitor in Pine Bluff for three hours yesterday. Long-hair- ed and high-hatted, the senator from Mississippi came in yesterday at noon and left on the afternoon train for England where he spoke last night. After a brief tour of Arkansas and Texas cities Senator Vardaman will return to Mississippi for short stay before going back to Washington. He is winding up one of his lecture tours and has much to say on national is sues but very little on Mississippi politics.
 Senator Vardaman, since 1912 when he was elected senator for term of six years, has kept aloof from the muddle that has been going on in his native state. When he does return to the stump, and it is believed he will as an advocate of Theodore G. Bilbo for governor, Mississippi will see another one of his spectacular campaigns.

END THE WATER FIGHT IN THE
RIGHT WAY.

Any effort to becloud the issue in
the water question should be resented
in the minds of the voters. The muck
raking being done is discredit to all
connected with such program.
| What Denver wants-and needs
most of all-is a fair and just settle
ment of the water controversy.
A calm and dispassionate view of
the proposition of the Retail Plan is
what the voters should attempt to ar
rive at before casting their ballots on
February IT,
1t is inconceivable that a group of
Denver's most substantial citizens
merchants whose all is centered here
in an effort to acquire reputation and
standing as business men-would en-
ter into conspiracy to rob the peo-
pie through support Of a plan to give
the city prompt municipal ownership
| of its water plant.
| After all the principal thing to be
attained is to give Denver Municipal
Ownership. The building of an entire
| ly new plant cannot be other than a
gamble from the start, and it assumes
the aspect of desperate plunge into
the region of the unknown when one
considers the fact that water is a
scarce dftlcle IN anu around Denver
! just at this time.
| The failure of many of the big irri-
CATION enterprises to develop into ef-
fective working concerns through
their inability to supply sufficient
water is evidence of the scarcity of
that essential.
The Denver Union Water company
has been able to supply a sufficiency
of pure, wholesome water to the city
for many years, and unquestionably
this company will fight through all
the courts any attempt to take from
them their claimed ownership of the
water which they are providing for
the, city.
Rather than risk endless contro-
versy, which will throw the city into
turmoil, over this water, and the enor-
nous expense and waste of time in
building an entirely new plant, let us
buy the company's plant at reason
able figure, fix it up where fixing is
needed, permit the people of Denver
to go on undistrueb di ntheir pursuit
of happiness and end forever this
seemingly interminable warfare be-
tween people whose only purpose
seems to be the venting of enmity
grounded in years of personal hatred

ownership at fair purchase price

in rates while the final details of TAX
ing over the plant are being decided.

best to do. One has but to look at
other cities with their cheap plants
and they will find that the ultimate
cost is and was more than $14 100000,
and the end is not yet. The local wa
ter commissioners have spent tens of
thousands of dollars in searching for
new water supply for Denver. Now
| among the opposing people, a lot of
willing spectators are trying to
| thrust their promotions upon Denver
water users and taxpayers through its
water commissioners. Water in plen
ty is assured as far away as 200 miles
some of it on the western slope, over
| the Continental divide. All reason
able and sane men realize the imprac
| ticability of carrying water so great
a distance, even if the water were
| there-which it is not. We believe
| the retail plan is the best and for the
sake of harmony and good will to-
ward all. let us cast our ballot for it
and end the needless litigation of con
demnation proceedings, etc, and other
freak notions now prevalent in our
city. Let the Star warn all colored
voters and taxpayers that eventually
$14 100000 will be paid out in lawyer
fees, engineers reports, etc, and yet
the question won't be decided. So let
everybody support the plan with their
influence and votes.
