To Represent Arkansas.

i Governor George w. Hayes, anxious t0 have Arkansas repre- sented creditably in the Pan- Pacific Exposition next year, has addressed the following letter to friends and public spirited citi7 zens over the state:
 Little Rock, Ark, Feb. 3, 1914. My Dear Friend: As you are no doubt aware, we have no appropriation that would enable the state of Arkansas to participate in the Panama-Pacif- ie Exposition to be held in San Francisco in the year 1915.
 l feel that our state should not be behind our sister states i'm such matters and the object of this letter is to ask that you have as many of the citizens of your county as can possibly do so, to meet with the writer and the cit izens from every other county in the state on the 18th day of Feb ruary, 1914, at the Marion hotefs in the city of Little Rock, and join with us in devising ways and means whereby we may be prop erly represented at this .exposi- tion, and at the same time be, given an opportunity to show the, world our unlimited mineral re- sources and great agricultural possibilities which can only re- suit in bringing to Arkansas of desirable citizens. In order that we may be repre- sented as above set forth, it will be necessary for our patriotic cit izens to raise such an amount as will enable us to take part in this great fair. ,
 Please confer with as many of the citizens of your county as you can get in communication with and ask that they join you in using evey possible effort to bring a big delegation to Little Rock on the 18th of this month. I would be glad to have a letter from you advising me that you will come and bring with you 8 big delegation. Please give this matter as much publicity as is possible and ask your local pap CTS to publish this letter. Don't forget the date, February 18th. 1914. un.i5.s, ,.st
 Very sincerely yours,
 GEO. w. HAYS,
 Governor.

Pupils Versus School Authorities
 Patterson, N. J., :. Feb. r. When Mrs. Florence Bryant, principal of a public school in West Park, a suburb. found that her sixty. pupils were, spelling the appearance of the, front en- trance to the school by tracking mud up the broad cement side walk, she ordered them to use a side entrance. The children ob- jected and today fifty of the six ty attending the school are on a strike. They are supported by their parents, who declare that the front entrance must be O. pened, even if neatness in the appearance of the school has to 1 be sacrificed.
 The board of education last night voted to support the teachers orders, as if for no other purpose, than to impress upon the children the value of tidiness, and it was agreed tc invoke the truancy law te break the strike. If the pupils refuse to come to school on Mon. day and enter by the side doors warrants will be issued for the arrest of all parents fostering lthe movement. :. :. ltygfl .,...,i.e u

TO HARNESS
 WHITE RIVER
To Generate Electricity for Cit ies of North Arkansas and
 Little Rock.
Special to Independent.

1 'DPSN'e%l Ic 1lQS DSilNSIlL.
 Little Rock, Feb. g. A fran chise has been grant ,d by the Arkansas Railroad Commission to Charles A. Barton of Chicago, to use the waters of the Buffalo fork of White river and White river itself, at Buffalo Shoals, for the purpose of generating electricity. According to the holder of the franchise, he will supply Little Rock, as we'll as Batesville, Newport, Searcy, Conway, and many other towns of the state, with electricity at about one-third the rate they are now paying.
 1 A recent act of the legislature gave the Railroad Commission the right to grant franchises to water power companies, and this is the first application filed be- fore the Board. MT. Barton came without the usual flare of trumpets, and after he had spent several months looking ov- CT the streams of North Arkan- sas. He declares he will be ready to supply Little Rock within six months.
 Instead of the usual system of dams, Mir. Barton will place boats at the places where he has franchises to operate, and to them will be fastened ma chinery which will force a con- siderable amount of water through a sluice beside the boat. This will furnish power to turn the machinery which will gener- ate the electricity. According to the promoter, the greatest cost will be in the wires to car " the power to Little Rock. This will require an outlay of S1.OOO,OOO. The three boats will cost about one half that sum.
 The holder of the state fran ichise has made no effort to se- cure a franchise from any city of the state, but states he will be prepared to supply them with electricity when his lines are al ready. t.., ,..= r.
 Under the scale filed by the franchise holder with Cne Hali road Commission, electricity will be sold in Little Rock at a bout one-third the usual rate He will sch electricity in Little Rock for three cents per kllo watt. where ten cents is nov being paid. He will sell electric ity to large consumers at one half that price
 After securing his franchise Mir. Barton as quietly left th' city, going to his home in Oal Park, a suburb of Chicago where he will prepare his plan for building the boats.

CONSIGNED TO PROPER PLACE
Ecitor's Intended Wlttieism Fell Flat
When Nature Of Manuscript
Was Revealed.

George Ade, long before he be-
came famous, was once associated in
an humble way with a theater. He
called one morning on the editor of
a Sunday paper on a mission from a
theatrical manager. Entering the
editors Office, he began, Il have
brought you this manuscript" He
got no further just then. The edi-
tor had glanced around and sized up
the tall, timid youth as an amateur
poet or novelist. II see" he inter-
rupted in an acid tone. "Well, just
throw it in the waste-paper basket.
Pm very busy just now and haven't
time to do it myself" George AIDE
obeyed his request calmly. Then he
began again: II have just come from
the theater and the manuscript I
have thrown in the waste-paper bas-
ket is your drama, which the man
ager asked me to return to you with
thanks. He suggested that the
proper place for it was with the waste
paper"

CHEAPER TO BUILD TUNNELS
plans for Throwing Bridsss Aeross
the Hudson May Be Abandoned
Altogether.

The joint commission of the states
of New York and New Jersey, which
was primarily created to devise plans
for bridging the Hudson, has been
brought seriously to consider the al
tentative of tunnels under the river
as highways for general traffic and
travel by ordinary vehicles. This
looks as if bridges over the Hudson,
although talked of for many years,
may never mateIalize. The salts
factory experience already had with
passenger tunnels should 60 long
way toward creating confidence in
vehicular tunnels. But perhaps the
most conclusive argument will be the
fact that while the estimated cost of
a bridge at Fifty-ninth street is $42,-
900, 900, two tunnels, one for move
ment in each direction, could be con-
structed under the river from about
Canal street, where they would be
of the most use, for not over SILL

Birds Nest Causes Fire.

Fire broke out in a back room of
the Riley Drug Co a few days ago,
and had it not been for the quick
work of DR. D T Riley serious dam
age might have been done.
The fire started from spark that
dropped through the chimney into a
fiue hole in the wall where birds had
made a nest. Seeing the smoke COM
ing through the back door into the
store, DR. Riley went to work and
soon discovered the flames reaching
out from the wall. He at once gath
cred bucket of water and dashed
it into the fiue hole, and by the time
the firemen got on the scene he had
the situation we'll in hand. The dam
age was very slight. - Florence

himself. The only thing he lacks is
some one to say "yes."
DR. R l Moorer's and Mr. j C Tru-
luck's sons, two of them about 16
and II years of age, left Monday
night for the navy. Their parents
did not know about it.
Yesterday, November "a, about
noon, Mr. Ezekiel Truluck's wife was
murdered at her home. billiard VIII
son, a negro convict on the Sumter
chaingang, called her out of the
house, he having found out that her
husband was absent. and told her. he
wanted some corn. When she enter
ed the corn house he followed her
and cut her throat. Her little boy
was there and when the negro saw
him he made dash for him,but the
little fellow made his escape. After
her throat was cut Mrs Truluck
walked about 100 yards down the
road seeking assistance and fell dead
on the highway.
The negro went back through the
woods to the camp, where the super
intendent of the chaingang found
blood on his clothes and locked him
upin the cage. Soon afterwards a
crowd of 100 men took him from the
cage, hung him by the heels to tree
and shot him to pieces.
It seems that our neighborhood-
once called the garden spot of the
world"-is getting pretty bad. We
hope erelong to see the times look
brighter. LITTLE BUD.

BRITISH BATTLES4IP BLOWN UP


Sheerness, England, November
26:-The British battleship Bulwark
was destroyed by an explosion as
she lay off here early today. There
are only fourteen survivors from
the crew of 700 or 500 men who
were aboard.
The explosion is believed to have
occurred in her forward magazine.
Whether it was caused by accident
or design is question to be deter
mined by commission appointed to
investigate
In the opinion of naval men it was
an internal explosion that put an
end to the battleship which for
twelve years has done service. at
home and abroad, and lately had
been guarding England's shores.
There was no great upheaval of
water such as would have occurred
if she had been torpedoed or struck
by mine. Instead. the ship was
enveloped in smoke and flame, and
when this had cleared nothing could
be seen but wreckage floating on
the water.
The Bulwark was Is years old
and had a displacement of $1,000
tons. &
