STATE NATIONAL WILL LIQUIDA7E
Stockholders to Meet in Ten Days to Select Liquidating
 Agent Depositors Safe.

Little Rock, July 2.-The public has been prepared for the announcement that the stockholders will undertake the liquidation of the State National bank, since the examiner, w. w. Smith, has pronounced it solvent.
 Cashier Johnson and Director J. F. Mcintyre returned Thursday from Washington, D. C., and announced that a. meeting of the stockholders will be held within the ensuing ten days for the purpose of considering the selec- ton of liquidating agent.
 The w. B. Worthen company, bank CTS of Little Rock. are being most prominently mentioned in connection with this position, and it is believed the affairs of the bank will be wound up through that institution.
 There had been strong pull for the appointment of receiver, and several applicants went to Washington to push their claims, hut this was rem defed unnecessary by the decision of the comptroller that the bank is in a solvent condition, and will not only be able to pay the depositors in full. but a considerable sum to the stockholders by proper husbanding of the avail able assets.

AMERICANS BEAT
 BRI70NS ROWING
Two Yankee and One Can adian Crew Finish Ahead
 of Englishmen.

Henley y-on-Thames, July 2.-The three transatlantic eight-oared crews, the Union Boat club of Boston, liar yard university second eight and Win nipeg, Canada, defeated their English rivals early today in the race for the grand challenge cup, the chief event of the royal regatta.
 In the individual sculling for the diamond sculls James B. Aver of the Boston Union Boat club was eliminat- ed today by the Italian, Giuseppe Sin igaglia. Robert Dibble of Toronto, Canada, the American amateur scull- ing champion was successful over the Englishman, J. Lawrence Tam, and will represent the transatlantic oars men in the semi-final of the diamonds.
 Not an English crew remained in the contest for the grand challenge cup, the chief event of the royal regatta, after the rowing today far heat. The three transatlantic eights, the Union Boat club of Boston, Harvard Univer- sity second crew, and Winnipeg, Can ada, as we'll as the Mayence Rowing club of Germany, were all victorious over their English opponents. In to- morrow's semi-final Harvard is pitted against Winnipeg and Boston against Mayence. The Germans time of 2 minutes p seconds was the best re- corded, beating Harvard's performance by 15 seconds.
 The days program opened with the first heat in the grand challenge cup between Winnipeg and Thames. This was won easily by Canadians in z minutes 55 seconds.
 Boston beat the London eight all the way in the next heat of the same event, and finished four lengths ahead in minutes AS seconds.
 In the next heat Leander led liar yard at the start, but the Americans took the lead near the finish and won by a length in 7:35. They were fresh at the finish, while Leander showed distress.
 The Mayence Rowing club of Ger many won from Jesus college, Cam bridge in the fourth heat by three quarters of a length in minutes P seconds, beating Harvard's time by 15 seconds.
 c. M. Stuart, Trinity hall, Cam! bridge, beat D. H. L. Gollan of tn Thames Rowing club by length in 9 minutes 23 seconds.

MAINE "'bOOSE"
 TURNS TUB BLUE
Queer Stuff They Turn Out in Prohibition State, But
 Natives Thrive On It.

Bangor, Me, July 2.--Over in Port of prohibition whiskey. The other day the sheriff's deputies seized what they supposed to be a tubfu1 of whiskey the contents of five-gallon keg hav- ing been poured into a galvanized iron washtub for the purpose of dilution and some other things added to sharp en the taste.
 The stuff turned the iron sides of the tub a bright blue. Floating around in the liquor were. several corks and a broken cigar box, while at the bot tom was a sediment of plain dirt.
 It is said that Portland topers have been revelling in this sort of stuff for years. Tobacco leaves, prune juice, red and black pepper, oak and hemlock bark, molasses and alcohol are the in gradients commonly used, but the pro- portions vary in different parts of the dry district to suit local tastes.
 Usually the quality of the liquor is judged by the bite" of it. The hot ter the better A drink of first class, aged whiskey would be ridiculed in most parts of Maine as a wishy -washy beverage fit only for mollycoddles. The Down East soak" wants some thing that stings and burns all the way, and usually he gets it-single drink, warm from the bottle-holders flask, 10 cents; half pints, 35 cents; pint, 60 cents to 75 according to cir cumstances; quart" which is long necker' containing about three half pints, $1.50 to $2, the latter price being charged in drug stores for stuff that costs the dealer about AS to 52 cents, but which is handsomely labelled and is represented, with many mysteri- ous nod and wink, as little good stuff that was intended for private party who didn't call for it." Very many of the so-called drug stores in Maine do not make enough money on drugs to pay for their telephone serv- ice, but they make up bravely on the private stock that yields 300 per cent profit.
 A druggist in one of Maine's larger towns says that within the last ten years he has been selling an ever-in- reasing quantity of whiskey and gin to women-many of the customers be- ing persons who pose as Temperance" advocates and were never suspected of bibulous tendencies. It is notorious that in "dry" towns the working peo- pie are spending more and more of their earnings for bottled whiskey, hiefly patronizing the drug stores, and always taking home a "long-necker" on Saturday night.
 The prohibitionists rave about the "open saloon,' but seldom or never have anything to say about the hand somely fitted up drug store, which runs seven days week and late at night, with the whiskey and dope" trade it's chief dependence.

BEARING 212 TONS FLYING-BOAT SAILS
 AT 65-MILE CLIP
Big Machine Wings it's Way Through @ Air and Cuts Capers Like
 Huge Bird.

Hammondsport, N. Y., July D. With Glenn Curtiss at the wheel the flying-b boat American made four suc- cessful and spectacular flights this afternoon.
 On the final flight, made at a heighth of more than 1000 feet and over a distance of more than mile, at speed of sixty-two miles an hour, the International News Service accom- panied Mir. Curtiss.
 A total load of 5,O07 pounds was hanging on the Americas wings as she made her fourth snappy test. h. identally, she broke her own record for weight-lifting. Never has the America planed with such ease or reached the top of the water with such speed. She obeyed the levers and her rudders and planes like thing alive.
 Once while blaming on the water surface she attained speed of sixty five miles, making foolish the efforts of the Curtiss speed-boat and the reg ulation flying-boat above her.

FINDS NEW USE
 FOR INITIATIVE
Oklahoma Candidate Makes His Proposed Amendments
 His Platform.

Oklahoma City, Okla., July D. Oklanoma has employed both the initiative and the referendum so free lH and for such diverse purposes that it's citizens thought thelr possi- tilities were exhausted. Attorney General West, however, who is a 1ation for Governor, has discovered a new use for the initiative, and one that threatens to deal a knockout bIcw to the lolg-settled idea as 60 the purpose and use of political platform.
 West has prepared and is having initiated fiev amendments to the State Constitution that express his ideas as to the reforms most needed in Oklahoma. He is using these five bills as his platform, and they will De voted upon in August at the prl- mary election. If the people decide to nominate West they have at the same time aii opportunity to put ms platform on the statute books.
 The five amendments are very wide in their scope. One of them is aimed at reform of the appellate courts. It renders imperative a de- Clsion of case by the supreme court not later than six months after being field. Cases that the Governor or Attorney General or the Chairman of the Corporation Com mission certifies to be important must be decided within ninety days
 Another amendment reduces the legislature to- one body, and takes a long step in the direction of the com mission form of state government.
 The third amendment reduces the maximum amount of state taxation from 1-2 to 1-3 mills.
 A per cent. tax on gross oil pro duction is the object of the fourth The fifth makes Gs',nkenness or ex- cessive use of inoxicating liquors ground for removal from office.

ID REVISE THE ORGANIC LAW Constitutional Convention May Be Held in Sum.
 mer of 1915. A FIT FIR LEGISLATURE Was Recommended at the Democratic State Convention Held in Pine
 Bluff Early Part of Last
 Month.
AFT FIR LEGISLATURE

Little Rock, July 2.-The belief is growing stronger that constitutional convention will be held in the summer of 1915, following the session of the legislature.
 It was recommended by the last Democratic state convention. the first time it has gotten that far, and the sentiment for it is rapidly crystalizing.
 The department of education, which has been working for several months on an initiative petition for an amend ment permitting an increase in the maximum levy for school purposes, to be voted on in the election of Septem- Der, 1916, is undertaking to push the measure so that it will be possible to submit large petition to the consti- tutional convention, should one fM called.
 The efforts of the people to arrive at more satisfactory basis of com pensation for the members of the legislature is another reason for a re- vision of the organic law. In 1912 an amendment was adopted limiting the sessions to sixty days, but this did not prove entirely satisfactory. and now the people have under consideration for the September election another amendment, placing the legislators upon biennial salary, and permitting them to remain in session as long as they wish.
 Again, for the third time the propos- ed amendment removing the restric- tions against the issuance of municipal ic fn cd fn hn pie at the September election. Progress sive business men agree that cities and towns should have the power, when authorized by majority of the citi- zens, under proper restrictions and safeguards, to issue bonds for the pur- pose of making general public inn provements. For this reason, the Greater Arkansas association, repre- senting the cities, towns and conner cial bodies of the state, are urging the adoption of amendment No. IA.
 There are many subjects that come up at every session of the legislature that come within the scope of consti- tutional enactment, but under the law, only three amendments can be submit ted at any one time, and this frequent ly IIuotldteS Iue peOple LII lHelI ucSIfc to achieve needful legislation.
 All these and many other conditions make it almost certainty that con- stitutional convention will be called, aud should this be done, the greater part of the twelve months of 1915 will be spent in legislation in Little Rock Should the legislative salary amend ment prevail in September, the general assembly would not conclude it's work in two months, as it did last year. and soon after would follow the constitu- tional convention, which would take several months in all probability.
