SPLENDID DISPLAY OF
 ARKANSAS RESOURCES
COMMISSIONER PAGE HAS NEW QUARTERS
 AT CAPITOL.

Little Rock, July 10.-It is doubt ful if any state has such an attractive display of it's resources, as may now be found in the office of John H. Page, commissioner of agriculture, in the new state capitol. This department of the state government is now Tn It's permanent quarters on the ground floor of the large building. The dis play is the result of much study, for in order to present it in it's most at- tractive form, the best use must be made of all available space. An ar chitect volunteered his service, and not only arranged the display cases, but designed new ones which might be placed on the walls. In this man. ner the Arkansas grains may be pro- tected from weevils and mice, and the fruit display is indeed attractive.
 For many months the officials of the department have been putting aside exhibits, saving them for the new dis play room. Now that it is completed they have been brought from the storeroom, and the magnitude of the display will amaze even the biggest Arkansas booster. The fruit exhibit to be one of the best The apple cases are so arranged that they can be filled weekly with fresh fruit, and every plate will show off, no matter how far it is from the visitor.

SAYS DECISION DOESN'T
 AFFECT ARKANSAS LAW

Little Rock, July 11.-W. T. Max we'll, in charge of the blue sky depart ment of the state bank commission says that in his opinion the decision of federal judges in Iowa, declaring the blue sky law of that state un- constitutional, has no bearing upon the Arkansas statute.
 The Iowa law was held to be void because it seeks to discriminate against nonresident corporations in favor of home companies, by placing more rigorous restrictions upon them No such question can be raised against the Arkansas law, which treats all alike, both home and for eign. In his opinion, there is no flaw in the Arkansas law which can be attacked in the federal courts.

PULLMAN ATTEMPTS 10 KILL HIMSELF
OFFICERS PREVENT DEED
WHILE FEN ROUTE TO PARIS, YOUTH ENDEAVORS TO
 JUMP FROM TRAIN.

Paris, July 14-"I didn't try to get away; I wanted to kill myself" Thus tremulously Arthur Till man addressed three stalwart deputy sheriffs who stood griping him, one of them holding his coat as train sped toward this city late yesterday afternoon. A few minutes before, Tillman, sentenced to die on the gal lows Wednesday for the death of Amanda Stephens, more than one year ago, tried to leap from an open door of the baggage car in which he was being brought here.
 Since he learned that Governor Hays offered no hope of respite, Tillman has suffered much mentally. When early Monday morning he set out from Little Rock for Paris his at titude was one of deep dejection.
 Once on the train, with chains and handcuffs holding his arms tightly and with letters about his ankles, the prisoner was soon an object of curi- osity. Owing to the wide publicity given his case, Tillman soon was rec ognized by passengers. He was taken to the baggage car. His escort sought to save him from the embarrassing gaze and occasional remarks of the morbidly curious.
 About five miles from Paries the railroad climbs steep grade. Sud- denly, with a terrific kick, Tillman broke the chains about his ankles and, before the officers could stop him, he rushed toward the car door. There he turned momentarily for last look at his escort.
 The glance cost him his escape from the gallows. One of the deputies quickly reached almost his full length and caught the youths coat. Tillman was dragged back from the door and after his words of explanation was reclaimed to continue the trip. None but the officers and one baggageman knew of the incident until Paris was reached at 6:30 o'clock.
 Many persons thronged the down. town streets and awaited at the sta tion when the train arrived bringing Tillman to go to his doom. Sentiment here that formerly was against the lad now seems changed to a degree and many expressions of sympathy were made as the lad and his escort passed uptown and through the public square en route to the county court house.
 Arthur walked briskly and during the greater part of the distance to the jail kept his eyes straight in front His appearance told of suffering, and it is believed he will collapse when taken to the scaffold Wednesday.

Little Rock, July 14.-Gov. Hays yesterday consented to grant Arthur Tillman stay of execution until aft CT the session of the next grand jury in Logan county, provided Circuit Judge Jeptha Evans of Bonneville and Prosecutor J. B. Benson of that dis trict recommend the respite. Both the trial judge and prosecut- ing attorney, however, declined to make the recommendation, and unless Judge Evans may yet be persuaded to join in the request for a reprieve the sentence will be executed tomorrow morning.
 Senator Tom White of Bonneville and former Acting Governor X. O. Pindall, representing the boy, yester- day morning urged the governor to grant a respite to allow Arthur furth- CT investigation.
 They urged that the Arkansas su- preme court, in it's opinion affirming the judgment, made it clear that the record did not show Tillman's guilt to be certain, even while the court felt that the verdict should be affirmed as the judgment of a jury in fair trial.
 Gov. Hays was firm that sufficient time has been given for full investi- gation, but said he would grant re- spite should Judge Evans and Prose- cutor Benson recommend it.
 Attorney Pindall conferred with both officials over the long-distance telephone, but was unable to get elth- CT to join in the request for delay. Prosecuting Attorney Benson talked with Governor Hays afterwards and made it clear that he feels that the death sentence should be carried out without further delay.
 Judge Robert J. White, leading at torney for Tillman, said over the distance telephone last night from Paris that he knew of nothing more than can be done.

Candidate For Assembly.

Lancaster, Wis, July II, 1914.
To the Voters of the Second As
sembly District, Grant County.
Gentlemen =
Upon the solicitation of many
voters of your district l am standing
as a candidate at the September
primaries for the office of assembly
man on the Republican ticket. In
so doing | fully indorse the platform
adopted by the county convention of
the partisan Protective Tax
PAYERS League. If nominated and
elected this platform will furnish
guidance for my vote on the measures
which will come before the next
Legislature.
The coming session gives promise
of being one of the most important
ever held. Through your conven-
tion you have declared in favor of the
reduction of taxation by doing away
with all extravagances in state
government; the adjustment of all
needless commissions; the taking of
the University out of politics, and
providing moderate appropriations for
the necessary maintenance of the
same. There will be ample OPP
portunity to work and vote on these
measures, and if elected you may be
assured that my position will be
identical with yours.
l have always been Republican,
without having considered myself in
any sense of the word politician, or
self-seeker after political honors.
In this matter, should you look
favorably upon my candidacy, | can
earnestly pledge myself to work faith
fully and conscientiously, and at all
times regardless of my own personal
convenience, for the interests of
those whom l may represent.
Respectfully yours,
Kenneth F. Burge IS.
We have read the above letter
which meets our entire approval and
we indorse the candidacy of Mr..
Burgess.
C.. B. ZIEGLER, Pres,
Taxpayers Protective League.

NEW MONEY ORDER IN
EFFECT JULY FIRST
Rostoffice Order is Now as PIiable
As Travellers Checks.

On July 1, the pOstoffice depart
ment made effective an alteration of
the method of drawing money orders
which will make the postoffice order
as pliable as the travellers check.
Under the new plan postoffice order
will be payable at any money order
postoffice in the United States.
In accordance with this new
measure, a money order will be pay
able at any office which is authorize d
to do business of this character,
which will facilitate the transfer
of money through the government
offices tremendously. This will make
it possible for the commercial traveller
on the road to cash his remittances
from headquarters wherever he hap
pens to be. Similarly it will enable
the pleaure traveller and tourist to
carry his money in government orders
if he prefers to have it that way in
stead of in currency.
The ruling will be of especial
benefit to the commercial travellers.
