less cold weather warning issued at 10
o'clock last night by the Little Rock

take this tumble there will have ended
one of the "summerest" two weeks
Little Rock citizens ever have enjoyed
in January. For several days the

The climax in high temperature was
reached yesterday when the mercury

at no time during the day dropped

colder weather and probably rain.

NEWPORT PETITION
County Judge Sustains Motion To
Quash Proof of Publication.

Newport, Jan. 28.-A motion to
quash the proof of publication of pc
titions for licensed saloons in Newport
was sustained by County Judge c. B.
Coe at today's hearing. This means
that the names must be published
again and that another ten days must
elapse before the hearing. Attorneys
for the prohibitionists contended that
some names that appeared on the ori-
ginal petitions were not published,
and that some of the published names
did not appear on the original peti-
tions.
License advocates won a point when
the court decided that Newport, Ark.
was sufficient address.
G. l.. Grant of Little Rock and NJ
NJ. Stuckey of Newport are attorneys
for the saloonists. Phillips, Hillhouse

 WOOD ALCOHOL, POISON"

Connecticut has reason to congratu- late itself that 1t has foreEeen and taken steps to warn against such use of wood alcohol as has this week caused the death of several people in New York city. The impression pre- yails that this kind of alcohol. which is poisonous. was used in the making of wine for a wedding feast, instead of the grain alcohol. Many have been the deaths from confusing the names and so imperative was the demand for providing protection against mistak- ing 1t for alcohol which is not deadly poison, that since Mao5 it has been required by law that a poison" label must be affixed to all containers thereof in this state.
 Strange to say in Kew York it is sold without any label or warning to indicate its dangerous nature. 8 fact which indicates a glarAng neglect and to which. an immediate remedy should be applied. They are those who in their eagerness to get a drink of all cohol might pay no attention to such a label as wood alcohol or for the saving which could be made would be anxious to invest in the cheaper kind. but it should not be possible for such purchases to be made without impart- ing at the same time the information that wood alcohol is deadly poison. It ought not to require many instances of the kind which has just occurred in the metropolis to arouse a public demand for this warning as a protection to life. It would seem as if New York had delayed this duty too long already

SENATE DID WE'LL.

The railroad situation seems to be in sufficiently delicate position with out any such action being taken as was proposed by the resolution of Senator Norris. Apparently the sem ate took the same view of it when it was tabled, a move which will prob ably result in fits remaining there. In that resolution there was revealed an endeavor to further embarrass not only the railroads, but the government by the implication of distrust of the course which is being followed. It was planned to overthrow all that has been done in the way of an ami cable agreement before the terms of the understanding between the attor- ney general and the chairman of the railroad system has been made known. It indicated lack of confidence in the adjustment of the situation to meet the requirements of the government before it was actually known what the plans were. Not only was it pre- mature but it was against the desires of the people of New England. It was headed in the direction which would make matters worse. when 1t Is an improvement which is desired.
 It was the same character of at tack which has bohbed up against other friendly dissolutions. For the senate to attempt to put through an inquiry at this late date would only cause delay and stagnation, and would open the way for the possible wreck ing of one of the important roads. The senate has adopted the better wax. If when the plans are revealed and they do not satisfy then there will be time enough to start something,

Eaon EoR rHE BIRDS.

The birds, those at least which are left, have reason to believe that not little charitable response is being made in their behalf as the result of the extensive appeal which has gone forth. Their plight as the result of the severe weather and deep snow was too quickly recognized to require ex- tensive argument. Their friends are legion and once their attention was called to the requirements a ready response has followed. Many there were who needed no reminder They provide for the birds whether there is deep snow or not, but this doesn't reach all the deserving It is prob able that many have perished in the past two weeks. but the number would be greatly increased if they were call ed upon to go through another such storm after & fortnight with little or no food.
 Many game associations have taken an active part in meeting the needs and it is particularly interesting re- sponse which has been made by the Worcester County Game and Fish as- sociatieH, This organization has pro- cured a thousand hounds of grain and elieited the aid of the rural delivery carriers in scattering it along the highways fin twentv-seven of the towns of the county. This is timely aid from which the game birds are sure to get much relief. Whether they are game birds, songsters or just plain insecti- vorous birds without much of a song they must have sustenance to live, and if conditions remove their feeding g places those who enjoy or profit from their presence should appreciate the opportunity of being able to help them aver a. hard place. Feeding the birds st such time means saving them.

Another important decision of deep concern to the pure food laws and their upholders has been rendered by the United States supreme court in it's favorable decision to the manufae- turers in the "bleached flour" case. It was a suit for the determination of the question as to whether the process was such as to be against the law concerning pure foods and by the de- cision 1t is not.
 Bleaching Is for the purpose of in creasing the commercial value of the product No improvement is made which Increases it's value as 8 food while the contention against it is that the change, because of the ingredients required being essentially poisonous. is Instrumental. winter flour finds great CT favor with the trade and the mak- CTS Of the machinery maintain that while if used in large amount the chemicals would be deieterious, a quantity insufficient to be harmful is nsAd in the artificial bleaching pro- cess.

Big Success of Alumni University Daynspatonal Gath erng For the Graduates-Swimming Team Successful Other Activities in the University.

New Haven. Feb 26.-Alumni univer- sity day on Monday was an unqualified success, and it bewildered some of the older grads who hadn't been back for years to see the changes that time has wrought. Long distance honors among the 260 alumni who were registered. among them Francis J. Leayens of Norwich, were divided between Presi- dent Lyman F. Peete, 's5, of Fordeno 's5. of Hawaii, and Rev. Charles A. Ransom, 80, of Natal South Africa. The ale men went away satisfied with what they saw and hopeful for the fu- ture For, as President Hadley told them in the concluding address of the conference, Yale's pains are the pains of growth and progress. not the signs of decadence.
 The morning classes Monday were swelled by the visitors, and many of them took the opportunity of fiocking of to greet their old professors, Thus Billy Phelps, in Tennyson and Browning. which has been for years, and still is, perhaps the most popular English course in college, had small reunion of his own In his room. Prof Bailey, in social economies, had a mob of graduates at his lecture. Then at 1e.3o in Lampoen Lyceum, Secretary Stokes spoke on the purposes of alum nj university day. He said Tt is our object to bring men into the main ring of the educational circles. We have been attending the side-shows for years; now we want them to see what is going on in the heart of the univer- sity, because we believe that every man in this hall today believes that no student in Yale has the slightest right to make anything his major except study We hope that alumni day will have it's effect on alumni associations, in making them lay greater emphasis on the educational side of Yale at their gatherings"
