Little Rock, May Pit is
quietly whispered about Little

Hutton, secretary of the State
Democratic Central Committee,
will be a candidate for Congress
two years hence, opposing II.
M. Jacoway, the incumbent. Mr.
Hutton is now sheriff of Pulas-

years has been quite active in

MILITANTS MAKE
A COURT RAID
Almost Succeed In Breaking Up
Performance Attended By
King and Queen.

United Press Cablegram.
London, May 22.-The Mill
tant suffragettes crowded Bow
Street Police Court this morn
ing and created such an uproar
when the trials of &C militants
and sympathizers, arrested yes
terday, were called, that the
disturbed magistrate was finally
forced to order the court room
cleared.
| Several were bruised in a
fight with the bailiffs who at
tempted to clear the room, and
one threw a shoe at the magls-
trate. The prisoners sang the
IMarsellaise and cheered and Jeer-
led the struggling police.
In retaliation for Mrs. Pank-
Ihurst's arrest one, militant mu-
tilated five famous paintings in
the National Gallery, using a
meat chopper. Another mill
tant almost broke up the per-
Torrance of "Silver King" at
His Majesty's theater this af-
ternoon while the king and queen
occupied a box.
The militants yelled, "Release
Mrs. Pankhurst," repeatedly
and while the theater attaches
worked to eject them, other suf'
fragettes joined in the cry. Il
was full thirty minutes before al
were elected and the uproar re
ceded.

CANNOT HOLD
SENATE IN LINE
Much Longer Unless Wherea-
bouts of Consul Silliman Are
Made Known.
United Press Dispatch.

United Press Dispatch
Washington, D. c., Hay %
Under strong congressional pres
sure, action in the Silliman case
must now be taken or the stu
alton will become acute. The
apparent inaction of the admin
istration has stirred those op-
posed to the present policy of
President Wilson, and it is now
requiring tremendous pressure
from Chairman Stone of the For
ejgn Relations Committee of the
Senate to delay action.
With the rebels holding Sal
tillo the State Department
promises that Carouthers will
soon have a report regarding
Consul Sillinan. And even then
a bitter attack upon Bryan is
certain if the American consul
has been harmed.
A report from Niagara Falls
says that it was upon Bryan's
suggestion that mediation was
attempted and not upon the
initiative of Argentine, Brazil
and Chile, and this has added
strength to the opposition. 1t is
believed that an oratorical out
break cannot much longer be a
voided.
The army officials believe that
the evacuation of Saltillo con-
firms their fears that Huerta
does not expect to aid mediation
and believe that he is concen-
trating troops near Mexico City
to meet the American advances.
Military experts say that Salti-
10 was equipped to stand an at
tack of nearly a month, and
could have resisted the rebels
for a long time.
That Saltillo surrendered with
SO little fighting is believed to
show Huerta's intention of saw
ing his best fighting force for
the stern work near the capital
city.
The Constitutionalists here re-
fused to discuss President Car
ranza's action in designating
Jose Vascenclos to go to Maya
"a Falls and learn to what ex-
tent the mediators plan to deal
with the pacifcation of Mexico.

MELLEN FIRED
FOR HIS SACRIFICE
Says New Haven Gave Millions
Away In Rebates And Scat
tered Passes Like Leaves
OF Forest.
United Press Dispatch.

UnlCeQ PreSS Dispatch.
Washington, May Coon
tinuing his testimony before the
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion today, the former president
of the New Haven, Mr.. Mellen
told the commission that he fav-
ored buying existing railroads
instead of constructing new ones
even though forced to pay exor-
bitant prices. He explained that
to get new charters meant deal
ing with politicians, which was
always costly.
He admitted that he had paid
$500 per share for Rutland rail-
road stock now quoted at $25.
Solicitor Folk produced Mel
lens letter to Sherman Whipple,
the politician, agreeing to buy
stock of the Worcester street
railway providing certain pieces
of legislation were passed, which
Mellen said was a hold up be-
cause he had not wanted to an
tagonize their interests. He de-
clared that when free passes
were legal he had scattered
them like leaves of the forest"
and when rebates were legal he
gave millions, and if any man
was really to blame it was Nor
gan. Mellen had concealed the
truth and accepted his own in
dictment and in payment for
this self sacrifice he was "prac-
tically fired" by Morgan's son.
This was the closing testimony
/ of MelIen.

WILL PROSECUTE
ILLEGAL SIGNERS
Of Miners Qualification Bill If
Proof Can Be Secured Of
Fraud.

Special to. Independent.
Little Rock, May 22.-Court
proceedings are expected before
the end of another week, in the
matter of the miners qualifica-
ton bill, petition for the initi-
alton of which was recently fill
ed with Secretary of State Earle
w. Hodges. Col. /. ID. Oglesby,
attorney for the mine operators
has been in Little Rock going
over the petitions and preparing
for the contest in the courts. The
proceedings will be in the nature
of an injunction in which an
effort will be made to have the
petition nullifed because of al
legged fraudulent signatures.
The representatives of the op-
orators claim that petitions cir
culated by half dozen men
show many evidences of fraud
The petitions of one man, circu.
lated in Little Rock, they claim
show over $50 names in one
hand writing. These petitions
were never folded, nor are there
anv dirt marks such as appear
on all petitions handed about,
thus indicating the signing was
all done at a desk, and at one
time. Much the same condition
exists on petitions circulated in
q number of the small towns of
the state. The petition repre-
sents about $4,000 signatures,
and the attorneys for the opera
tors believe they will be able to
take off enough of these nemes
to defeat the petition, if they
should fail to have the Secretary
of State enjoined from submit
ting it to the people on a show
ing of fraud.
Fraudulent signatures on the
petition subject the signers to a
penitentiary sentence, and the
same punishment for the circu-
Eaters of the petition, if they
know the signatures were fraud
ulent or fraudulently obtained
The operators claim they will
prosecute those who circulated
the petitions if they can Sc
cure evidence which will cause
conviction.
