VOTE SHOWS
 KIRBY WINNER BY 1S4
If POinsett Figures Are Certified as Some Contend, Clarke Will Have Lead. Hodges, COffman
 and Cook Winners

With the official vote from 72 coun- ties and the complete but unofficial vote of the remaining three counties in, Kirby leads Clarke this morning by 184 votes, with 135,6SS accounted for. But if the vote from Poinsett county is certified to the State Central Committee, as the chairman of the Poinsett County Democratic conven- tion says it will be certified, Clarke has lead this morning of 392. The Gazette's correspondent at Harrisburg gave the official vote as canvassed by the County Central Committee of Poinsett county as Clarke, 1,2S6 and Kirby 615. This morning former Sen ator Clyde Going, who acted as chair man of the Poinsett county Dernocra- tic convention yesterday, telephoned the Gazetse that the official figures on Poinsett county were Clarke 1,621 and Kirby 150. The matter was then taken up again with the Gazette s correspondent, who stated that his fig ures were taken from totals made by the County Central Committee and certified by the committee to the con Vention as official.
 Going was insistent in his claim that the vote would be certified to the State Central Committee as he gave it but it is given in the Gazette's table as sent in by the Gazette's correspond ent.-Arkausas Gazette.

SENATORIAL CONTEST
 REMAINS VERY CLOSE
Almost Certain that Contest will be Thrown in Convention at Pine Bluff. Closest Race Ever
 Known in State Politics.

Little Rock, March 31.-With the lead vacillating between Clarke and Kirby, and the unofficial returns show ing Kirby few hundred votes in the lead, it is now almost certainty that the contest for the United States Sen ate will be thrown into the State con vention at Pine Bluff. It is by long odds the closest contest that has ever been known in state politics, and a week after the polls were closed, a few hundred votes would turn the bal ance in favor of either contestant.
 It is not a settled fact that l.. L. Cotfman has defeated H. C. Mccain for Auditor of State, and that George B. Cook has won for State Superin- tendent over D. T. Rogers, although both races were much closer than had ever been expected at first.

 STATE CONVENTION
Bitter Feeling Between Clarke and Kirby Forces in Several Count ies. Tense Scene in Gar
 land County.

Reports of the Democratic conven- tons held in various counties yester- day show that bitter feeling exists be- tween the supporters of Senator James P. Clarke and Judge William F.

 At the Garland county convention held at Hot Springs, delegation of supporters of Judge Kirby was elect ed to the state convention although Senator Clarke carried the county. The Kirby men had a majority of one vote in the convention. The Kirby supporters were elected as delegates despite the impassioned appeal of United States District Attorney w. H. Martin on the floor of the convention. MT. Martin became involved in a dis pute with City Attorney Mclaughlin of Hot Springs, and called Mir. Me Laughlin liar Mr. Mclaughlin showed better self-control and did not start fight.
 The Phillips county convention at Helena instructed it's delegates to the state convention to vote as a unit with Senator Clarke and to fuse their best efforts to further his cause"
 On the other hand the Ouachita county convention held at Camden in structed it's delegates to the state con- vention to vote for Judge Kirby whe- ther a contest of the senatorial cleo ton arises in the state convention or not.

Mans inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn,'' remarked Judge w. E. Fort yesterday as he en- tered an order recognizing Della Jones, n negro girl, on her own bond until the date of her trial It was a pitiable story the girl told the judge and at the con- clusion of his investigation the judge, among other denunciatory remarks, gave expression to tho famous quotation from Burns.
 Before going into the details of tho story, it is a matter of common knowl- edge about the courthouse that the poor and unfortunate confined in the county Jail can always secure a hearing from either of the two able and distinguished jurists who preside in the criminal court of this county. It Is the policy of the judges to give these unfortunates a trial as soon as possible. and Judge Fort has frequently had prisoners charged with minor offenses brought before him after concluding his regular docket and their case adjudicated
 Yesterday morning Judge Fort re- ceived the following letter from the county Jail: Judge Fort, dear sir. have been in jail almost four months. and have little baby Just months old. l hasn't got any one to do any thing for him. I am fatherless and motherless and am only 15 years old Wont you pleas recognise mo on my own bond and I will sure be back for my trial, answer at once. very respect fully. Della Jones'"
 At the conclusion of the docket set for the day Judge Fort had the girl brought before him. She was pitiable spectacle meanly clad and still wearing short skirts. Her woebegone appearance would provoke pity among the most hardened. She sobbed while speaking of her babe, as she did not know who had 1t or where 1t was.
 The girl was charged with stealing a shirtwaist. and in answer to the questions of the judge. denied that she had stolen
 it. She stated 1t was given to her by q woman who worked at the place where the waist was stolen, and stated that she returned 1t to the owner when she learn ed that 1t had not been come by honest

THE WAR IS ONLY
 BEGINNING, SAYS
 ARMAND FALLIERES

Paris, october 2s.-7:2s D. m.)-The war is only beginning, in the opinion of Ar mend Fallieres, ex-President of France. In an interview published by the France de Bordeaux today and transmitted from Bordeaux by the Havas agency, M. Fal- Heres says:
 Months and months will be required to overcome the military power of the en- emy, but this does not produce discour- agement in France. Our country has ac- ouired the new virtue of constancy in eff fort.
 We shall certainly be victorious, for, without reckoning our ardent patriotism and our inexhaustible moral and material resources, we have on our side Russia and Great Britain, with their strength and tenacity, and Belgium as well as Servia end, finally, we possess the moral support of entire humanity which loves the idea! of liberty.
 'The right will not fall and France will not perish. Should we sacrifice our last man and should we be compelled to call out our last reserves. I am ready to go. There is only one motto--absolute conf- dence."

TURKEY RECRUITING
 ARMY TO UTMOST

New York, October 2S.-Turkey is re- seruiting her army to fullest capacity, even attempting to impress naturalized a Americans into service. according to pas- sengers arriving today on the San Giorgio from Naples. Several Syrians aboard said they escaped service only by bribing Turk ish officials. One of them, Joseph Haddett of Fernie, E. C., declared recruits had been enlisted in such numbers that there was shortage of uniforms and soldiers had to be marked simply by sleeve bands learing the Turkish coat of arms. To remove this band he said, was equivalent to desertion.
 The military authorities not only are forcing into the army every available man." continued MT. Haddett, but they are seizing supplies and stores wherever obtainable. Syrians who are natura lizeti Americans and are visiting Syria are hav- ing hard time to get away

ly. She stated that she had neither home nor friends in the city and was not surs who had her child but she thought the woman she had lived with was caring for 1t. She told the judge the father of the child had deserted her.
 Suppose I release you, where will you go?' asked Judge Fort.
 ''I don't know, but I'll find place"
 Where did you live at the time of your arrest and what did you do for liv- ing?"
 .'I stayed with some women on Alley c, but I warn't able to work as I had jest got out of the hospita1.'
 How old was yonr child at that timer
 Not quite two months old
 She related that she was taken and put in jail without an opportunity to make arrangements for her infant and that she had not seen it since. Judge Fort ex- pressed himself strongly on the system that would separate woman Just out of the hospita1' from her babe and gave the order for her release on her own bond.
 Judge Fort told the girl that she must earn a living honestly and that she would be put back in jail if she did not live uprightly, and told her that receiving stolen property was as great crime in the eyes of the law as though she had stolen 1t. The girl gratefully and earnest- ly promised to follow his advice and was released.
 Judge Fort stated that such cases as this strongly showed the need of a change in the procedure of the criminal law: change that would provide that minor cases could be dealt with at once instead of having to pass through the cumbersome machinery of the law as it now exists. He intimated that bill for certain reforms in criminal procedure Is being prepared and will be presented at the next session of the legislature.

LONG-HORNED STEERS
 ARE VERY RARE NOW
Strain Has Practically Been Eliminat- ed From Western Cattle, Says Jo-
 seph C. Miller, Ranchman

There was time" says Joseph C.. Miller. the ranchman, "when thousands of long-horned cattle roamed the prairies of Mexico and Texas.
 According to well-authenticated tradi- tion. the original long-horns brought to America were pure Andalusian, and were imported to Mexico by Cortoz to ensure sustenance for his soldiers Their prog eny gradually became wild and roamed all over the southern and western plains. In the early days in Texas they were more or less domesticated and became an important part of the ranch products of the country.
 "The long-horned steer, in his natural state. is long, lean and scawny, and in order to make a better seller for the market the long-horns were crossed with short-horns. and in this way tho long horns of the old stock were gradually eliminated It is no longer possible to raise long-horned cattle, and when tho great, spreading horns occur 1t is simply freakish reversion to . former condi- ton. It will not occur more than once in several thousand cattle, even though they have descended from the old Mexi- can stock"
 There is, 1t Is announced, bunch of long-horned steers with the 10l Ranch Wild West show, but they have been sought for and selected with infinite care. Among tho more than 15,000 head of cattle now on the 101 Ranch at Bliss, Oklahoma, only five long g-horns were secured. says MT. Miller. One of the long horns with the show is said to be valued at sl000. Its horns are seven feet, 1t is said, from tip to tip. The long-horned steers will be utilized in the roundup when the show exhibits in Birmingham Thursday, No vember 12 and also in the preliminary parade in the morning.
