J. w. LYMAN NAMED
FOR LINCOLN COUNTY
He Takes Places f7RepreSeniatiyeS
OF Republicans in Place OF Alex
Boyd. Deceased Progressive
Is Displaced.

Littlh Rock, July 20--What ap-
peared at first to be a most perfume
tory proposition, the selection OF the
county election commissioners, devel-
oped in some cases into most stubborn
controversies. The entire list will not
be appointed until the middle of
August.
The state board met Monday and
appointed the following:
Bradley county-H. S. Turner S. II.
Jones, Democrats; II. F. Butler, Re-
publican.
Jefferson county-W. B. Sorrells
and j. S. Barraque. Democrats; j. w.
Sanders, Republican. Mr.. Barraque is
compromise appointment, satisfac-
tory to both factions, there having
been opposition to one of the men
named by the county organization.
Garland county,. S. Mcconnell
was appointed the Republican MEM
Der, in lieu of Ed II. Johnson, reported
to be a Progressive.
White county-B. F. BACKYARD was
appointed the Republican member in
lieu of r. C. Clark, it having been re-
ported that the board last week APP
pointed three Democrats.
| Lincoln county,. w. Lyman was
appointed the Republican member,
vice Alex Boyd, deceased.
In Hampstead county, it was decid-
ed, on account of the county seat
fight, to let the old board name the
judges and clerks for the county seat
election on Aug. Is. The new board
will be named about Aug. 13. BY this
means the state board will avoid any
| imputation of favOritism.
In Searcy county, the Republican
organization is protesting against the
| appointment of J. N. Bromley as the
minority member, he having been de-
feated for county judge in the recen'
primaries. There are contests on also
in Faulkner and Monroe counties, and
these three counties were deferred un-
til 2 D. m. next Monday, July 81, when
a final hearing will be given to all
interested parties.
Everybody Satisfied.
The selection of j. S. Baraque FOL
one of the election commissioners II
this county appeared to be satisfac'
| tory to both sides to the controversy
over the personnel of the board
When a petition asking for the nam
ing of N. J. Can't was not acted upor
by the state board, the petitioners
suggested Thurman Louthan, C. H
Puddephatt and Meyer Solmson. There
were objections to each OF these
either from those supporting the
nominees of the county convention
or members of the state board. J. S
Barraque was submitted as compro
mise candidate and selected.

Should Be Kept in State.

Newport, l.. l.. July 20.-While DR..
and Mrs. Carman were motoring about
Pennsylvania summer resorts today
on the vacation that is preparatory
to Mrs. Carman's trial, William Bail
ey, husband of the woman she is &C
cused of Staying, said:
cit is a mockery of justice to per-
NIT Mrs. Carman to leave the state.
Is it justice to permit her to go joy
riding outside the jurisdiction of the
courts of the state? 1t looks more
like inside politics to me. If l were
Mrs. Carman, and had this accusa-
ton hanging over me, l would not
show my face outside my home"
District Attorney Smith, who with
Sheriff Petit, followed the Carmans
for time after they left Freeport
yesterday, is reported to have asked
the United States postal authorities
to ASSIST him in tracing an address
In New York to which DR.. Carman
is said to have had private letters ad-
dressed. Smith and Petit, who had
motored to Poughkeepsie, since lsav-
ing the trail of the Carmans, are now

Another Mine DESTROYED.

Hartford, Ark, July 20.-The Dallas
mine, located mile north OF Hart
ford, and owned by the Bachelor
man Coal company, the parent cor
poration of the Mammoth Vein Goa
company, whose three plants al
Prairie Greek were destroyed by riot
ers last Friday, was blown up either
Saturday or Sunday night.
The engine room was burned to the
ground, dynamite was exploded in
the flues of the boilers, practically
demolishing them, charge was plac-
ed in the mine slope and it collapsed
The tipple caught fire from the
burning engine room, but was ex-
tinguished.
Saturday night an attempt was
made to fire the tipple of the mine
but it was extinguished by a switch
ing crew of the Midland Valley rail
road.
When an investigating party went
to the mine today they found the
place practically in ruins. 1t is not
believed that the slope was badly
damaged, but the loss runs into thou
sands nevertheless.

IiSh Steamer, Bristol More
Bl0odShrd Imminent.

Washington, July 2O.-Failure has
followed the efforts of Consul Sill
man, the special representative at
Satllo of President Wilson, to induce
the consttutonalists to agree to a
general amnesty and to pledge pro-
lection to the lives and property of
foreigners.
The breach between CarranZa and
Villa has widened, and the feeling be-
tween the two men is growing bitter.
Unable to agree among themselves,
they cannot accept or agree to any
thing proposed by the United States
for the promotion of immediate peace.
The confusion regarding import
payments at Tampico had added to
Carranza's reluctance to accept peace
terms. He places responsibility for
this trouble on the German consul
whom he threatened to deport.
These conditions have been report
ed to the president and state depart
ment by Consul Silliman in dispatch
from Saltillo today.
Many of the homes of .Huertistas
who have fled from Saltillo have been
occupied by the constitutionalists'
army and their element and the con-
tents looted. General Carranza spoke
very severely of the German consul in
Tampico and appears to blame him
for the confusion regarding import
payments. He threatens to deport
him. In the capital the deepest re-
sentiment and enmity for Villa was
plaisly noticed.
Joe Castellat, diplomatic agent for
the Carbajal government in Washing
ton, expressed the fear today that the
bloodiest battle of the revolution
would be fought before the constitu-
tonalists would enter Mexico City,
unless General Carranza could agree
with Carbajal representatives to grant
amnesty to every soldier who fought
in the federal army. This battle will
take place at Queretaro.
"Under Huerta the federal army
had no great incentive for fighting. If
Carranza refuses them amnesty, they
will be battling for their homes, their
families and their very lives. Such an
issue would galvanize the federal
army into great fighting machine. 1t
Is splendidly equipped; has men of
great ability to lead it and, therefore.
has merely lacked the banner of
great cause to inspire it to valorous
deeds. The constitutionalists are
battling for power, not to remedy
wrong; some for loot" declared Cas-
tellat.

MEXICAN LAND FRAUDS.
Department Of Justice Expected to
Start Prosecutions.

Washington, June 20.-TEe Depart
ment of Justice is expected to begin
prosecution at an early date of a
number of land companies and cor
porations throughout the country,
which have been fraudulently Selling
worthless land along the Rio Grande,
the title to which is in dispute be-
tween the United States and Mexico.
The operators are said to have
made millions out, of the fraud. A
special investigation of the matter
was made by w. w. Toilette, consult
ing engineer to the International
Boundary Commission, Gen. Arson
Mills chairman, which is seeking to
settle by agreement the claims of the
two governments to land created by
changes in the course of the river.
His report to the commission shows
that the fraud was extensive. More
than 1000 of the claims brought by
innocent parties have been invalidat-
ed by the commission.
The operators in these sand lots
obtained some color of title to the
property, presumably from Mexican
claimants before the commission had
decided to which county the land be-
longed. Through enticing lieterature
and by other means the Spectators
unloaded the land at cheap prices to
reckless investors on representation

refused to place the awards in effect
Mr.. Stone, however, accepted an offer
of federal mediation. mainly for the
purpose of showing that the engine

demands.

The Dictator in Exile.

Puerto Mexico, Mexico, July 90
Victoriano Huerta left Mexican soil
tonight, probably never to return.
After open signs of mutiny had led
to the arrest of two officers attempt
ing to incite the soldiers to assassin
ate Huerta, the ex-dictator listened
to fearful entreaties Of his wife and
friends and late this afternoon went
on board the German cruiser Dres-
den.
Without the slightest furore and
with no touch of the dramatic except
the presence along the water front
of ragged soldiers of the Twenty
ninth regiment and Zaragoza brigade,
Huerta left the country whose destiny
he had done so much to shape.
It was the irony of fate that the
last view of his native land that came
to him was the picture Of the United
States warship Tacoma, representing
the power of the hostile nation that
forced him to abdicate his Dictator
ship.
Huerta left the Uuerto Mexico peo-
pie Sitting on the safety valve" Reb-
els have been reported across the
river and many federal soldiers are
deserving. Believing themselves in
imminent danger. the principals of the
Huerta party who were left behind,
tonight took their families aboard the
British cruiser Bristol. The minor
members OF the party, however, must
remain ashore until the arrival OF the
chartered steamer City of Mexico.
which is due tomorrow, to take them
to Jamaica, where they will rejoin

Little Rock, July 21..The state
Democratic central committee in its
meeting Monday afternoon expressed
a desire for a change in the manner
Of selecting county election commits

sioners. The state election commits
sioners have in a number of cases ig-
nored recommendations of the county

resulted in a resolution being adopted
by the state central comIaittee, insist
ing that when the county organiza-
ton and a majority of the candidates
selected two Democrats as members
of the county commission, that the
state commission recognize them as
party nominees, unless it could be
shown that the party fidelity OF the
candidates was faulty. The resOlu-
ton was offered by E. J. Kerwin, of
Jefferson county, after a heated
speech in which he assaulted the pres
ent methods OF selecting the county
commissioners.

JACK DOWNEY Lands
CLOSED CARROLL RACE
Junior Champion Shows His Heels to
Classy Field in Handicap Run
on the Speedway.
STANLEY FINISHES SECOND

Little Jack Downey, the winner Of the
five mile Junior championship held here
last spring, again showed his heels to q
fast field Of local distance artists in the
Carroll Institute four mile closed race
held yesterday on the Speedway.
Downey was given a fifteen second
handicap over Billy Covert, the scratch
man. and he crossed the finishing line
handsome silver loving cup for the best
time over the course. The Junior
champion was easily the class of the
brilliant field OF nine starters using a jog
ging pace which was telling In the second
lap Of the course and finished with q
burst Of speed credItabIe to any veteran.
Hugh Stanley pulled up in second posi-
ton, two seconds better than Jeem
Adams who ran an exceptionally good
race. Holland ran in fourth place, while
the race for fifth position was landed by
DOugherty after a great sprint with
Blummer; who. finished one-half second
behind.
The handicap given the runners proved
to be too large for Billy Covert. who was
running from scratch. Covert numbers
among the best runners In this vicinity
at any distance over the five mile mark,
but the handicap to the field proved to be
to large for him in this four mile affair.
The summary is as follows:
Downey, Is seconds, 2s:15; Stanley, 1;So,
