REGENERATION FOR
 GEORGE $. LINN
Former Pine Bluff Man Arrested at Memphis Cleared of Charge
 Filed at Hamburg.

George s. Linn, whose arrest at Memphis several nights ago created considerable excitement by reason of the police firing upon the young man, was eXonerated of the charge brought against him at Hamburg and as a. re- suit of which he was taken into GUS tody in the Tennessee town. Until the death of his parents few years ago, Linn resided in Pine Bluff and he has many friends here.
 He was given an examination at Hamburg Tuesday, when the charge was dismissed, according to a letter from Linn to a friend in this city. Linn writes from Little Rock under date of June A as follows:
 Your kind and thoughtful note is before me. l had trial at Hamburg yesterday, and case was dismissed. had done nothing criminal The noto- riety and the humiliation given the in- cident was just the same, however. With kindest regards, and thanking you for the interest shown, l am, sin cerely your, GEORE s. LINN"

SPOKANE CONSIDERS
 MOVING UP ONE HOUR
Adoption of Mountain Time Would Mean One More Hour of Day.
 light Daily.

Spokane, Wash, June 25.-The Spo- kane Chamber of Commerce is con- ducting an investigation to find out how the public stands on the question of changing the official clocks of the city from Pacific to Moutain time. This would require that all clocks be set one hour ahead.
 Thomas H. Brewer, bank presi- dent, first suggested the change to the city commissioners, and they re- ferred it to the chamber of commerce. Brewer says that the change would increase the amount of daylight dur ing waking hours, that it would give more time for recreation and would result in better conditions for sleep ing. It would be beneficial to farmers and working men, he says, and would make the telephone, telegraph, freight and express connections with the East closer The change would add POP hours of daylight during the time most persons are awake in a year and would thus reduce the cost of artificial light
 Opponents of the change point out that the railroads would still use the Pacific time, thus making confusion for travellers. The Spokane Grocers association has passed a resolution in dorsing the proposed change.

DECIDES
 FOR DRAINAGE DIST,
Holds Kirsch Lake Commis sioners Have Right to
 Issue Warrants.

Proponents of drainage in the Krisch lake district won decided vic- tory yesterday when Chancellor John M. Elliott refused an application for an injunction to restrain the commits siOners of the district from issuing bonds or certificates of indebtedness for work on the drainage system. Judge Elliott held the commissioners have the right to issue certificates of indebtedness to the extent of $135, ,OO0 The district embraces land in Jeffer- son, Lincoln and Desha counties to the extent of 35,000 acres.
 This means that work on the drain age canal and laterals will proceed without further interruption, unless an appeal is taken to the supreme court and that tribunal rules different ly to Judge Elliott, two contingencies deemed improbable. Work on the sys- tenn has been prosecuted on small scale for some time, but since Judge Elliott has upheld the right of the commissioners to pay for work per formed. the operations will be prose- cuteG more vigorously.

BOrah, Works and Thomas Profess Surprise Proposition to Give Board Power to Determine "Unfair Gem.
 petiti0n- Taken Seriously.

Washington, June 25.-The New lands federal trade commission was given the right of way in the senate today and will remain the unfinished business until disposed of. No effort will be made to press it unduly. It will be laid aside from time to time for appropriation measures. Again today the judiciary committee discussed the provisions of the Clay ton bill and reached no conclusion on any Of the features involved. The one thing upon which the committee does seen to agree, is that it is hopeless to attempt to pass the Clayton bill at this session.
 The attack on the trade commission bill in the senate today was prompt and aggressive. The impending macs are glves the proposed commission authority to determine what is unfair competition and for four hours the debate ranged around the meaning of the words and the proprlety of placlng such authority Ill the hands Of a com mission.
 Senators Boarah, Worws and Thomas all wanted to know If it was intended to give the commlsslo:l absolute authority to determine what would De 'unfalr competition" The senators expressed surprise that such d proposition should be seriously cCnldered.
 Under this bill," said Senator Dorah, anything can be held to be unfair."
 senator Cummils defended the provisions. he said it was wise to give the commission power to de- lermine what was unfair cOmpell- t1On.''
 Senator Reed, Democrat, of Mis- SCurl, made an extended argument against the bill. lie declared It was an unwise pollcy to conner on boards and commlss- ons the powers of the constitution, the powers intended to be exercised by the congress Itself.

S5.CyU.UOJ FOR PENSIONS.

For the tlrSt tune Ill many years relision appropriations nave lakeA d strohg downward turn, owing ln nos, part to deatn among lne survl- yCrs of the clvlal war, observes the New York World, which continues:
 ! dietween June 30,1912, and Jule 3O, 1913, the number of veterans of the War. fell from 497,265 to 462,379. Turing the first ten months of the present. fiscal year 27,l9O died. In cutting the appropriations from $1SG, ,OoO,OOO for 1914 to $l69,O00, 900 for the coming year, congress is oaly making allowance for mortality. -ss From 1865 to 1913 the total cost of the pension system was $4,5S6,966,- BAG, and, including the appropriations for the present and coming year, in fifty years it will cost the govera- ment only little short of$5, ,0OO,O ,O0O,- 900. How rapidly disbursements have increased is shown in a comparison by decades. The year after the civil war ended, the payments were $12,- S57,714, and there were only 126,722 pensioners. In 1876 the disburse- ments were $2S,951,2SS, for 232.1S7 pensioners; in 1886, $67 7,336,159 for 1G5,7S3 pensioners; ill 1896, $142,212,- Os1, for 97O.67S pensioners; in 1906, $142,523,557, for 9S5,971 pensioners. The highest number of pensioners ever on the rolls was 999,446, in 1902, but although the number fell below S00,O00 last year, the total pension appropriations for the pres cnt fiscal year were s1S0,O00.oOO, the largest in the history of the country.
 One feature Of pension legislation commonly overlooked is the extent to which pensions and increases of pensions have been allowed by special acts of congress. The thirty-ninth congress, from 1865 to 1867, granted only 13S pensions in this way. The fiftieth congress, from 1887 to 1889 granted 1915 by special acts. By the time the sixty-first congress was out ot office in 1911, it had granted 9,649 pensions by special acts.
 Up to June 30 last the total amount paid by the government in pensions was $4,294 ,596,944 on account of the civil war, as against $70,O00,000 fol the revolution, $45,923, 900 for the wal O! 1872, $47,63200O for the war with Mexico, ,000 for the war with Spain and the Philippine insurrectior and only $2S,641, ,0GO for the regular establishment since the foundation o1 tLe republic.
 By comparison. according to Jht commissioner of pensions last re- Tt, Germany last year paid only G110,411 ill pensions, France $16,1S7 Great Britain $117,S43, Russia $3,39 and Japan $7,006.
