PARKER APPOINTED
MarshaIship at Fort Smith.

Little Rock,, June 21.-A J. Walls of Lonoke is to be United States marshal for the Eastern District at Little Rock,s, and J H. Parker of Camden will succeed Frank Mayes federal marshal in the Western Dis trict at Fort Smith.
 President Wilson nominated these two men for the positions yesterday and the Senate will likely confirm the selections this week.
 Both plums, which complete the appointment for the larger federal job of the state, with the exception of the postmastership at Fort Smith. went to members of the Democratic State Central Committee. Judge Walls is chairman of the committee, and MT. Parker. who is sheriff of Ouaehita county, was a member of the old committee which heard the Kirby Clarke contest.
 The appointment of Sheriff Parker is surprising to politicians generally, most of whom had forcasted the ap- pontment of w w Johnson, former mayor of Fort Smith Judge Walls selection was conceded by all except the Democrats who also sought the place.
 The federal marshalships pay $4ooo annually.
 Both appointees are supporters of both Senators Clarke and Robson.
 Politicians in Little Rock yesterday when told of the minations, express ed the belief that H. NJ. Taylor an ac- tive applicant for the Little Rock marshalship will be offered some po- sition in the government service out side the state The belief was also expressed that State Treasurer John N. Crockett and perhaps Will John son will be offered something outside the state.
 Not alone because of Judge Walls activity in Senator Clarkes behalf was his appointment generally con- ceded over the state some weeks ago, but also because of his close relation to Senator Robinson, his brotherin law.
 There were two Washington County applicants for the marshalship at Fort Smith, H. F. Reagan and Joe Frost
