Habiendo leido en- La Cr6ni-
ca" su informe relative al bale
que a benefcio de la Sra. Lopez,
dio I'd. ell "a de Octubre 1ltimo,
y no encontrandolo de conformi-
dad, me he propuesto hacer una
verdadera "aclaraci6n' sobre ell
particular; tanto para satisfac-
ci0n de los que contribuimos al
buen exito de el, como para evil
tar abuses de humanitarios de
esta naturaleza, en- 10 future,
Ahora deseo me conteste I'd.
10 siguiente:
Ell ''baile de benefcio" 10 mi
clio para benefciarse Vd. 6 para
benefciar a la Sra. Lopez?
Lo hizo I'd. por. que vic que
verdaderamente Ia sonora nece-
sitaba ell auxilio para soportar
los gastos de su enfermedad, 8
10 hizo solamente como un pre-
texto de humanidad, para salvar
sus propios compromises?
ST 10 hizo I'd. con objeto de
benefciar a la senora, por que es
que Vd. a la fecha retiene una
parte del dinero, cuando su de-
Der debia haber sido de entire
garle TODD 10 que hubiera result
tado de su b~eneficio uno 9 dos
dfas despues de liquidadas las
cuentas?
A la fecha han transcurrido
cast dos meses y todavia sale US
ted ahora con que ell resto 10 tie
ne a su disposition.
Al llegar a este extreme y ha-
Ger una verdadera ''aclaracion"
sobre este esunto, es porque US
ted ha dado lugar para clio y es
necesarlo evitar esta clase de IT,
mos en- la colonia, porque redun-
dan en- perjuicio de otros que
manana ~necesiten ell auxilio de
ella.
Por informes de las mismas
personals que I'd. eta, tuve CO.
nocimiento de que I'd. en- lugar
de mostrarles como caballero las
cuentas del bale, les dijo, que
como nadie mas que listed habfa
organizado ell ''benefcio'', que
nadie tenfa derecho de informar-
Sc de las cuentas.
Ademas sc positivamente que
ell POGO dinero que ha entregado,
10 ha hecho en- picotadas de dos
9 tres pesos, siendo la mayor
cantldad que entreg6 de diez pc
SOS.
Ahora recuerde, que I'd. mis-
mo me inform6, despues del bal
lie, que tenfa mas de cincuenta
pesos sobrantes despues de ha-
Der pagado todos los gastos Y
aun tenia algunos boletos que re-
coJer, 10 cual me parece muy ex-
trano, que la cantidad Sc haya
reducido a treinta ynueve pesos;
pero aun siendo esta cantidad
exacta, no hay raz6n; 81 no es
suya particular, para que nc la
haya entregado inmediatamente.
Asi es, que 81 I'd. tiene name
ra de probar al p1blico 10 con-
trario, 20 sere ell primero en- re-
probar 10 presente y vindicarlo;
de 10 c%ontrario, I'd. quedara til
dado por toda la colonia como un
impostor.

SCHOOL HOUSE BURNED

The White school house, near Paroquet, was totally destroyed by fire Thursday night. It is not known how the fire originated but 1t is supposed to have been caused by defective fue.
 One of the most successful terms of school eyer held at that place was in progress and the loss of the building is serious blow to the school. It is understood, how. ever, that arrangements have been made by Prof. Huddleston and the patrons for another building in which to continue the school.
 There was $1200 insurance on the building and 1t is probable that a new building will be erect ed on the old site at an early date.

The interest with which Wash ington is viewing events in Ark ansas affecting the candidacy of James P. Clarke for reelection to the U. s. Senate is reflected in a telegram to Senator Clarke from the eminent statesman, John Sharp Williams, senator from Mississippi. It reads:
 Washington, D. C. Feb. }, 1914. Hon. Jas. P. Clarke. Little Rock.
 Just received your Morrilton speech. Lots of us here watching and waiting. It would be mis- fortune for Arkansas and the South if you were defeated. North and South and East and West will echo that sentiment.

CITIZENS INDORSE
 BRIDGE MOVEMENT
Newark People Favor Free Bridge Across White River at Point
 Near Oil Trough

A meeting of citizens interested in the movement to build a bridge across White river was held Tues day night.
 Dr. V. L. Pascoe called the meet ing to order and explained the ob- ject of the meeting in a brief speech in which he pointed out some of the benefits that would accrue to the people of Oil Trough and Big Bottom and the town of Newark through the building of a free bridge across the river at some accessible point. He thought the formation of an improvement district embracing the town of Newark, a large portion of Big Bottom, with perhaps all of Chris tian township and asportion of Rosie township offered a very easy and equitable solution of the prob lem of financing the proposition. He declared that by pursuing this plan and issuing twenty year bonds the bridge could be built and paid for with such low tax levy the people would almost feel that the bridge was a free gift.
 At the conclusion of his speech he nominated c. M. Fields for chairman of the meeting and MT. Fields was elected by exclamation. 0. r. Craig was nominated for secretary and was elected by ac- clamation.
 Chairman Fields in a brief speech indorsed what Dr. Pascoe had said. He declared himself en- thusiastically in favor of the pro- position and said that he was ready and Wiling to do everything in his power to aid the movement, both financially and with his per sonal influence.
 J. H. Holderby expressed him. self heartily in favor of the move ment and said he believed every business man and every property owner in Newark should unite in helping to push the proposition to a successful conclusion. He thought the bridge the greatest thing for the business men of New ark that had ever been started

people of the state. Fought by an element thatdemanded pledges that MT. Raney declined to make, he was defeated by narrow margin for president of the senate.
 But his loss as president made him at once a floor leader in the senate, and he was a man to be reckoned with.
 MT. Raney enjoys the confidence of the public through the entire district which he seeks to serve He is known to the people of the entire dristrict, having travelled over it for the last ten years. No man IS bet ter known than he in the district. As an official, MT. Raney has the consciousness of always having done his duty, and his friends know that he has. He Is a success in every business enterprise he has ever undertaken, and he will be fair to the railroads and true to the peo- pie, when he is elected railroad commissioner. Duty is always first and foremost with him, and he does not shirk it whether he has the commendation or the con- demnation of the crowd.
 If elected Railroad Commissioner, MT. Raney states that he will rep resent the people and not the rail- roads. He will endeaver to see that every convenience is had for the public and will be activein securing rates that will be for the interest of the people. He has a record for doing things and is the kind of a man that will make a good railroad commissioner, and will be govern. ed by the best interest of the pub- lie at all times.
 Senator Raney has the endorse ment of the religious press of the state, all commenting him for his active work in behalf of morality while serving as state senator and also commenting his candidacy for railroad commissioner. He is also indorsed by the labor interest of the state.
 The people of this section of the district are unanimous in their support of MT. Raney, believing him entirely worthy of the posi- ton he seeks. The people of Inde- pendence county should, and will, give him practically the unani- nous vote of the county, not only because of the fact that he is a home man -our friend and neigh bor-but because of the further fact that they know that he is wei quailIled Tor the place and they know that he can be safely trusted to do the right thing un- der any and all circumstances.
