FAIR EXHIBIT
 FROM ARKANSAS
Promises to Be A Magnificent One-Plans of Governor Supported.

Little Rock, Feb. 16.-Unles!
 signs which are plainly writer
 across the heavens fail, Arkan
 sas will send to San Francisco
 one of the most magnificent ex.
 hibits ever placed by any state
 at a world wide exposition. The convention held in Little Rock last week, sponsored by Govern or G. w. Hays, was the stepping stone from which the movement will grow, and this week the committee to raise the S1OO,- 900 required will be named by Governor Hays. Work will im- mediately begin and while the money is being raised, a bit of attention will be paid to getting together something to exhibit when the building is completed. The first real step in the work is, therefore, not to be along f. nancial lines. There seems to be little doubt in the mind of Governor Hays that the money will be forthcoming, so he can turn his attention to the source of supply for exhibits. Ar angements will be made to care for the finest of this years crop, that can be saved. For crops maturing after the open ing date of the exposition, es- pecial care is to be taken with the 1914 crop in order to pro- duce some real premium stuff. California is the only recogniz- ed fruit rival of Arkansas, and a great deal of that states rep utation was founded on Arkan- sas fruit which was shipped to California points, repacked and sold again as California fruit, at much higher prices.
 It is the intention of Govern or Hays and those promoting the enterprise, to have daily shipments go forward to San Francisco during the exposi- tion. The exposition will open in strawberry time and extend through after apple picking time. This will give Arkansas a chance to appear in her Sunday clothes. Fresh Arkan- sas fruit will be shown right be- side California fruit, and it is a safe bet that Arkansas will not suffer from the comparison. The horticulturists and other societies will assist in the work, especially in the preparing of fruit for shipment.
 All Arkansas schools will this year prepare a feature exhibit from which the best will be se- lected. The same will be done by the manufacturers of the state-in fact, Arkansas is go- ing right to California to show the people of the world that they bought the wrong ticket when they went looking for the garden spot of the world, Ark ansas being the only state ans wering that description.

License Contest
 Reopens Thursday
By Agreement of Counsel and Will Doubtless Consume Re-
 mainder of Week.

County court will resume con- sideration of the contest for license in Newport Thursday morning, the adjournment be- ing made by reason of the death in the family of one of the at- torneys. The lawyers upon both sides agreed to this change in arrangements and Judge Coe ad- journed court Monday until that date.
 It is probable that the remain der of the week will be consum- ed in the hearing of evidence and argument and no decision is expected before Saturday and probably not until the week fol- lowing.
 CROSS EXAMINE CAROUTH- FRS.
 When County Court was re- sumed Saturday afternoon, Mir. Grant for petitioners announc- ed that the other side might take the witness, MT. Carouthers, whose direct examination had consumed a day and Mir. Jones proceeded to take up the cross examination. The witness held to his previous testimony, al- though admitting in many cases that his evidence was based upon information furnished by other parties.
 After reciting what witness had testified to upon direct tes- timony, counsel for remon- strants would ask, Did you make that statement from your own personal knowledge, or from information, to which witness would reply, "of person. al knowledge" or Information, az the case might be, and after frequent tilts between counsel and witness the matter would so rest, the remonstrants doubtless desiring to classify the chal- lenged names into the two chan nels named: the testimony based upon information and that upon personal knowledge.
 He was not cross-examined upon all the names about which he had previously testified and tfe instances in which he made admissions or gave further in- formation regarding the where abouts of signers, were in the following cases: Susie Allen, resided now at the Planters ho- tel of his own knowledge, didn't know how long; Allie Busby told witness he now lived next door | to o.

COL. ASTOR'S WIDOW
WINS IN TAX FIGHT
Property Given Here Before
Marriage Is Separated
from Estate.

The report of the reappraisal OF the
estate of Colonel John Jacob Aston was
filed in the Surrogates' Court yesterday.
II showed a reduction in the net value OF
the estate from Ss5,311.2s to ssi,23s.i97.
The reappraisal was made necessary by
the objection Of Mrs Madeleine Force As

ia % and Nos IS and 80 West 3ith
street. She contended. and was upheld
by the Transfer Tax Appraiser, that her
interest was not taxable. because IL came
TO her under ante-nuptial agreement.
The amount OF taxes involved In the
appeal was S29.629 which was charged
against the interest Of Mrs. Astor, but
which is RENTED in the new report. No
claim of exemption was made when the
first transfer tax proceedings were on.
The testimony in the second proceed
ing showed that the transfer Of the prop
erty to Mrs Astor was for good and
valid consideration.
The property was valued at sl.1O9,S2l,
