CANNOT BE
REFERRED TO PEOPLE

Il am sorry to state that in my
opinion the ordinance you mention
cannot be referred to the people for
their approval or rejection" is the an
swer made by Atty. Gen. Moose to a
question by DR.. George c. McKennon
of Russelville, relative to an ordinance
prohibiting poultry from running at
large in a sewer district. He says:
'The Suprme Court has passed on
the question in the negative; that is,
that the Tenth Amendment to the
Constitution does not authorize people
of municipalities to refer an ordi-
nance to the voters, and on the 2nd
of December last in the case of Tom
pkinson Bros. VS.. Hodges. they held
that what is known as the Enabling
Act, passed in 1911, did not give peo-
pie in cities and towns the right
to refer an ordinance"

81 600 WORTH OF DIAMONDS
FOUND IN PIKE COUNTY
diamond Bearing Earth Yields Aver
age of2O Carats to the One Hun
dred Loads-African Fields
Five to Fifty Carats

John T. Fuller, consulting engineer
of the Arkansas Bureau of Mines,
Manufactures and Agriculture, has
prepared and published in the Engin-
eerng and Mining Journal review of
The Arkansas Diamond Field in 1913.
Mr.. Fuller estimates that there has
been total of about $1,000 worth of
diamonds found in the Pike county
field since the original discovery. The
amond-bearing earth that has been
work has yielded an average of 20
carats to the one hundred loads, while
the South African field yields from 5
to so carats, so that it may be seen
the Arkansas average is well up with
that of the older and more celebrated
field. There have been probably half
a dozen blue white stones of the first
water found in Pike county, worth
5000 a carat. While the greater num-
Der of stones are worth about ten
cents q carat.
"The work done in 1913 in the Ar
kansas Diamond field" says Mr.. Full
Ter. showed more progress toward
the ultimate developement of this field
than any previous year since its dis
covery. Active operations have been
carried on during the year by the
Ozark Mining Company and the Kim
berlite Diamond Mining and Washing
Company"

OMNIBUS PARDON RE-
VOKED-TERM VIOLATED
First One out $50 Granted by Cover
nor DOnaghey. George Clark,
Convicted of Grand Larceny
Will be Returned.

For the first time one of the omni-
bus pardons granted by Gov. George
W. Donaghey Dee. II, 1912, when he
issued 800 in one day, has been revok-
ed because of a violation of it's terms.
A proclamation was issued by Gov
Hays Wednesday declaring void the
pardon issued to George Clark, who
was convicted in July, 1912, of Grand
Larceny, and sentenced to one year
in prison. AS with all of the pardons
granted on Dee. II, it was conditioned
that "if he violate any law of this
state in the future he is to be re-
turned to the penitentiary without
further process to serve the remainder
of this sentence"
May Is, 1913, Clark was convicted
in the Hot Springs police court of va
grancy and fined $50 and of being a
dangerous and suspicious character
and fined 500, and on Jan. IL, 1914,
he was convicted in the same court
of Jail breaking and fined $50. The
pardon is therefore set aside and he
will be returned to the penitentiary.

NEW PRESIDENT NOT SOLDIER
Francisco carbaIaI's Public Career
Has Differed Materially From
That Of Huerta.

Mexico City.-Francisco Carbajal
is forty-four years old, a native of
the state of Campeche. and a lawyer
Almost ever since the start OF his
career he has occupied posts in the
judiciary. In the Madero administra-
ton he was a senator, but relin-
pushed his post to re-enter the su-
preme court, Of which he was chief
justice at the time General Huerta APP
pointed him minister of foreign rela-
tons.
When General Porfirio Diaz deter
mined in 1911 to treat with the Made
TO revolutionlsts, Senior Carbajal pro-
ceeded to Juarez as his commissioner.
Senior CarbaJal has a reputation for
possessing considerable intellectual
force and independence of character.
His demeanor is quiet. He shuns the
exuberance In verbiage and gesticu-
lation to which Latin-Americans are
prone. He is courteous, but a man
Of few words and little given to elabo-
rate compliments.
Besides. he is neat and well
groomed in appearance. His features
indicate pure European descent, with
out any admixture Of Indian blood.
Altogether he is man who con-
yeys an impression Of reserve power.
He is a good man OF business,
His probity has never been ques-
toned. He has been sagacious and
successful in investments and, While
not rich, is a man Of independent
means. He Is a man of family.

Failing in this the United States gov
eminent adopted a policy that has
slowly diminished Huerta's resources.
With Huerta's retirement, the con-
stitutionalists feel that their revolu
ton has triumphed. They turned
against him the moment he over
threw Madero, the constitutionalists
president of Mexico, in February,
1912. and have waged their war with
unrelenting vigor ever since.
Victoriano Huerta took oath as pro-
visional president of Mexico on Feb.
10, 1918. the day after Francisco l.
Madero had been arrested at the ma
tional palace. Three days later Ma
dero and Jose Maria Pine Saurez, vice
president, were shot to death on a
midnight ride under guard from the
palace to the penitentiary. The man
ner of their death never has been
satisfactorily explained.
Will Give Reins to Carranza.
The state department has been in
formed by Francisco Carbajal, sue
cessor to Gen. Huerta as provisional
resident of Mexico, that he intends to
retire in favor of Gen. Carranza
All that Senior Carbajal asks is the
proclamation of a general amnesty
and the assurance that protection will
be given to the property of those who
have been fighting the constitutional
lists. Jose Castellat, former member
of the Mexican senate, called at the
state department tonight to present
Henri Carbajais views which were
expressed in general telegram re-
ceived through the Mexican embassy
which bore the date of July Is. Huer-
ia, he said, is On his way to Europe
with Banquet.
The state department both through
George Carothers at Saltillo and
Charles Douglas, legal adviser for
tn canstitutionalist agency in Wash
ington, has sought to have Oarranza
make clear what will be his course
now that Huerta has abdicated.
The constitutionalists deny that the
state department has threatened
them with loss of foreign recogni-
tion unless they treat with Carbajal
as head of the defacto Mexican gov
eminent.
U. S. Is Urging Peace.
They say the only word this govern
ment has conveyed to them is that it
is DESTROYS that the factions in Mex
leo get together and peacefully settle
the questions arising from the consti-
tutionalists' triumph without further
bloodshed or loss of property.
Villas attitude toward the new
shaping of conditions continues to
give the Carranza representatives
here more genuine worry and concern
than anything Carbajal may do. The
latter, they say, is merely a temper
airy problem of slight diplomatic i'm
portance, but they believe that Villa
is the black cloud on the horizon that
possibly protends new revolution
in Mexico.
Fighting Is Over.
Monterey, Mex, July 16.-Fight-
ing by constitutionalists is over In
Mexico, If plans announced here
Thursday by Venustiano Carranza go
into effect Gen. Carranza declared
his main object now would be to con-
duct negotiations for the constitu-
tionalists to enter Mexico City and
establish their government without
further bloodshed or damage to prop
erty.
Gen. CarranZa was unable to say
whether these negotiations would be
conducted through A. B. c. mediators
or direct with the federals.

That the great body of New York
