lieved Joseph l.. Tumulty. secretary to the

sisted that Senator Hughes was mistaken
The Senator persisted In his charge OF
"A frameup against him.

VERMONT COMMISSION
LOSES RAILROAD CASE
Supreme Court Rules Against
Attempt to Force Depot
Improvement.

WASHINGTON. Jan. -. - The supreme
Court held n brief session to-day. devoted
to reading opinions. There were no very
important cases decided. Probably the
most important ono was that OF the
Public Service Commission OF the State of
Vermont against tks Rutland Railroad
Company, appealed from the District
Court.
The Public Service Commission had
made an order on the Rutland Railroad
requiring 1t to improve its depot ut Yer
gennes. W. The District Court enjoined
the order on the ground that II was be-
yond the jurisdiction of the Vermont COM
mission to make such an order. The Su-
preme Court affirmed the Judgment Of
the lower court.
The decision was based upon the Ques-
ton OF the powers conferred by the Yer
mont laws on the Public Service Commits
sion. In the briefs filed on behalf OF the
State of Vermont 1t was minated that "
the Supreme Court should hold that the
Public Service Commission was without
authority in the premises the Legs-
lature would be asked to pass additional
laws giving that authority.
An opinion was read by Justice Holmes
affirming the validity of the Pennsylvania
State law prohibiting aliens from pos
sess.ng firearms. Joseph Patsone Of
was convicted under the statute. attacked
its validity on tho ground that 1t dis
eliminated against him in favor Of citi-
zens OF the United States and was vio-
lation OF an existing treaty with Italy.
Justice Holmes held that n State had
authority TO define classes OF citizens from
whom danger might be feared and to legis-
late accordingly.
In the case OF Charles Maibaum OF Chi
cago, who appealed from the Federal Dis
trict Court for the Northern District of
Illinois. the Supreme Court held that the
Federal courts. on request from the
immigration Bureau. may cancel and an
null American citizenship papers OF aliens
when II is shown such papers were obs
tanned by fraud. It was proved that Mai
baum misrcpresented his age.

OBITUARY.

On Sunday evening, June IA, the death angel visited our community and called Mrs. Minnie Davidson from her preparatory home to live with Jesus on high. Mrs. Davidson leaves d husband, three children, fath- CT and three brothers. She also leaves a host of friends. She was well known and loved by all. She always had a pleasant word for all. Mrs. Davidson united with the Christian church in 1912 and lived an upright, Christian life until her death. Her farewell words were as follows: "I have served the Lord the best l knew how; now am going to live with Him on high. Take care of my children. All of you meet me in the sweet bye and bye We would not grieve, brok- en-hearted ones, but press onward and upward until you gre worthy to ac- cept the call and are carried away to join Minnie and the sainted hosts on high. She's gone to her heavenly home, where sorrows come no more. She's gone to her heavenly home upon the golden shore; she's gone to Para disc, shining crown to wear. Will you meet her, will you meet her there?

BURNING GROUND MAY
 BE A PREHISTORIC ONE
DIS c o V E R 1 E $ ARE REPORTED FROM OVER
 CUP, CONWAY COUNTY.

The following interesting account of recent investigations in what may have been prehistoric burying ground in Conway county is taken from the Overcup correspondence of the Morrilton Headlight this week:
 The greatest high water mark on Point Remove creek, in 1882, is be- coming the topic of conversation among some of us who were here at that time. Three hundred graves were uncovered at that time on the place owned by Capt Miller, now the property of E. H. Dunaway of Mor- rilton. The flood washed away three feet of soil and left the graves bare No trace of them is to be seen now, but they are just this side of the Fryer bridge on the right side of the road as you go to the bridge. The writer got permission to dig into the graves. 1 found a pot or kettle made of clay and gravel The capacity of the vessel was two gallons and in it were three pieces of copper six inches long, one inch wide at one end and two at the other, one-eighth of all inch thick. The bones in the grave had disintegrated, but I measured the inside of the graves and those l measured averaged five feet, four inches; one measured eight feet and two inches. The oldest settlers at that time had no recollection of any one being buried there. We have wondered did they belong to the cop per age? Were they of the Mound Builders? Could they have been of some of the Toltec tribes that inhab- ited Mexico prior to the occupation of the Aztecs? Could not some of these tribes have inhabited this coun- try as we'll as Mexico? It seems to me that great battle had been fought at a remote period in history as there were no graves of children. All seemed to be adults, but what race of people will probably remain mystery until judgment day.

FINAL PROGRAM OF
 THE CHAUTAUQUA

From Thursdays Daily.
 The final program of the Conway chautauqua was given under the big tent at the courthouse grounds last night, fairly good audience being present. Preceding the regular pro- gram about 50 Conway children par ticip&ted in some pretty drills and marches, arranged under the direc- tion of Miss Fay Hancock, children's supervisor of the bureau, and Miss Ledas Aubrey of this city. A con- cert-prelude by the Venetian Singers was thoroughly enjoyed, the perform CTS being called upon to respond num- erous encores. Following their pro- gram, James Francis O'Donnell pre- sented a pleasing monologue-drama, "The Sign of the Cross.'
 Platform Manager C. E. Booth stated last night that every town in which the chautauqua had appeared this season. with the exception of Conway, had been booked for another week next year He asked those who desired the chautauqua to be repeated here to stand, but the response was by no means unanimous, majority of those who arose being children. He stated that the local committee who had signed the guaranty for S5OO would be forced to pay their subscrip- tions.
 The entire chautauoua force left this morning for Oklahoma.

PRICE INCREASED
 FOR DEAD FLIES
From Fridays Daily

From Fridays Daily
 On account of lack of interest be- ing shown in the fiy-swatting cam paign inaugurated by the Conway School and Civic Club, the price for dead flies has been raised from 10 cents to 20 cents per pint. In addi- tion to this, handsome prize will be awarded on September 1 to the boy or girl who captures the largest number of flies. Contestants will be allowed to use either "swatters" or traps to catch the flies. On Tuesdays, Thurs days and Saturdays they may be brought to either Vests or Flor ence's drug store.
 The club hopes to arouse wide in- terest in the anti-fy campaign. It is recognized by all medical authorities that the fly is one of the most common means of transmitting diseases and filth
