 at Fordyce.

FordyCe. June 1S.-The suit of D. E. CroWnover of Benton against the Rock Island Railway company for $35, ,000, claimed as damages for the loss of a foot was placed on trial in the cir cult court here today. A large num- Der of witnesses are to be examined and it is thought the case will not reach the jury before tomorrow. At the time of the accident the plaintiff was an employe of the company and alleges defect in he construction of the car which he was endcavoring to- couple onto his train.
 In the case of the state against T. J. Fortune, charged with false pre- lenses, defendants bond was ordered forfeited and an alias warrant issued. The Preston Hankins case, in which the defendant is charged with having poisoned two valuable horses at War ren some months ago, will come up for trial tomorrow. AS yet the grand jury has made no report. It is hard ly probable that the court will be able to finish up the dockets this week as was contemplated.
 So far no important criminal cases have been tried Most of those dis posed of were misdemeanors, such as disturbing religious congregation, as sault and battery, drunkenness, etc.

WOULD DOUBLE TAX
 VACANT PROPERTY
Rev. Herbert s. Bigelow FIX
 plains Single Tax Theory at Little Rock.

"DCuble the rate of taxation on va cant and unused lots and idle lands in and around Little Rock, make the rate of taxation too high for specula tors to hold for increase land and property values, and Little Rocks Population in 1920-200 ,000!' will be no electric sign and billboard adorn- ment, but reality
 This was the statement of the Rev. Herbert s. Bigelow of Cincinnati, speaking under the auspices of the Little Rock Chamber of Commerce in the auditorium of the Hotel Marion last night, says the Little Rock Ga zette.
 Land values are the actual measure of the value of public servce,' said Mr. Bigelow, "and each man should contribute to his government accord ing to the value of lands he holds. Then each man would pay to the gov ernment for the service he gets"
 In considering the problem of tue single tax, Mir. Bigelow considered s land values as community value and treated it as basis for system of taxation. He would remove the tax from the residence and the business house and the farmhouse and levy the tax according to the actual value of the land upon which they stand, and in this way, he said, the revenues paid into the government of the munich pallty or county or state in which the single tax syste mis in vogue would be adequate to meet the expense of government, with surplus.
 The owner of a lot or a piece of farm land never pays into the coffers of his government taxes levied in proportion to what he values his piece of property at when he goes b sell it, said the Rev. MT. Bigelow He cited as an instance at attemptei purchase of property on Louisiana street by man who wished to open dairy lunch stand. The owner Of the land was paying taxes On the property which was assessed at s1l,- coo. The man who wished to purchase the property offered $75,000, while ,ha owner wanted $100,000 and refused to take less, according to the speaker.
 eff the single-taX system were ia vogue in Little Rock, factories would crowd to the city the demand for la bor would be greater than the supply and instead of the present condition with ten men looking for nine jobs. it would be the reserce," Sc said.

CONDEMNS CHURCH SOCIETIES FOR
 YOUNG PEOPLE
Nashville Minister Declares c. K. and Similar Organizations Defeat
 Their Purpose.

Chicago, June 1S.-"The Christian Endeavor Society with it's four mil lion members and other young peo- ple's societies defeated their purpose by drawing young, men and women away from the Sunday schools" de- clared Rev. H. H. Hammill of Nash vile, Tenn, at the Sunday school con- vention here.
 "The time has come when all the young peoples societies in the churches ought to turn back into the Sunday schools. The Sunday school and the societies have nearly all things in common and the school, be- ing more fundamental, ought to ab- sorb the societies.
 Our young peoples societies re- mind one of the scriptural saying seven women shall lay hold upon one man. I nmany of them seven young women lay hold upon one scared young man.
 After some discussion of the subject the convention voted in favor of re- construction of the young peoples so- cieties as against abandoning them.

SEA ACCIDENTS '''''''''''i!|IR ARE T NUMEROUS Seven Vessels Have EncOun- tered Mishaps During
 Past Two Days.

New York, June 1S.-Seven large steamships have lh the last two days reported difficulties varying in seri- ousnes from sharp collision to the comparatively mild accident of run ming ashore. This wave of accidents, which comes as a sort of aftermath Of the Empress of Ireland disaster, has been due geenraily speaking to fog.
 The fVst accident reported yesler- day was the running aground of the hospital ship Maine on the Firth of Lorne on the west coast of Scotland. The ship was seriously damaged and he crew and passengers, including a large number of patients, were re- moved.
 On the heels of this misadventure came the report of collision be- tween the North German Lloyd liner Kaiser Wilhelm II and the Liverpool grain steamer lncemore, in the Eng fish channel. Wilhelm II, carrying 1000 passengers, was forced to re- treat to Southampton with a huge hole in her side. With badly crumpl- ed bow and her forepeak rapidly fill ing with water, the Ince,~ ore nan3g- cd to crawl into port.
 The list was augmented early today by an accident to the British freight steamer Hyndford, which was report ed ashore at Albay Gulf, near Laga- spi, in the Philippines, in the path of typhoon.
 Later the steamship Buelow, be- longing to the China line of the North German Lloyd, went ashore near Hyrtalene, to the west of Portland, England.
 Still another accident was added to the list when the Hamburg American collier Hhrrria and the British coaster Copsewood reported crash ill the English channell. The Copse- wood was badly crippled, but the Eturia escaped without serious damage.

 SEASONED SOLDIER
Little Rock Discovers That Captain Macmanusa Has Resumed
 Active Service.

Concerning Captain F. w. Mac Manus. who left Pine Bluff three weeks ago to resume active service in the United States army the Little Rock Democrat of yesterday says:
 First Lieutenant Augustus F. w.. Macmanus, retired veteran of the Spanish American war and the Philip pine war, has re-entered the active service and been assigned to duty as quartermaster at Fort Logan H. Roots.
 Although a Texan Lieutenant Mac manus has been making his home at Pine Bluff, Ark, since his retirement from active service. He has spent a number of years in Mexico and when war threatened between that country and the United States he was one of the first to ask to be placed back in active service. It was his personal de- sire to be assigned to duty at the front, and although he drew a lot which sends him to delightfully."- quiet post, garisoned by only SIX sol diers, he still has hopes of again sec ing real service in the event of war.
 Lieutenant Macmanus was captain of the First Texas Volunteers during the war in Cuba, and hlS company was mixed up in some of the worst fighting of the campaign. After the evacuation of the Spaniards, Captain Macmanus was made captain of the Thirty-ninth United States Volunteers. and saw much strenuous service in the Philippines. On account of dis abilities receivd in the service Captain MacmanuS was retired
 "I have entirely recovered my health now said the new post quar- termsater today, and while assigned to most delightful post, I am anx- ious to see real service again and hope to do so in the event of actual war between this country and Mexi- CO.,
 Lieutenant Macmanus spent some time with his cousin, a capitalist, at Bishop, Texas, before assuming his new duties here. He is accompanied at the post by Mrs. Macmanus."
