 Abullet through the head caused death, probably about II o'clock Saturday night. The bullet was from a 3S calibre autonatic pistol. Some eags and other provisions, pur- chased downtown by Harris before he started to his home near the cemetery, were found beside the body.

 The Russians according to the Berlin report, were routed utterly. The reports say "such of the enemy as succeeded in escaping made hasty retreat toward the east, hotly pursued by the Teutonic allies. The trophies. of the victory cannot even be approximately estimated ot this time."
 Von Hindenberg Moves Northward.
 Meanwhile, General von Hinden- berg's forces are pressing steadily forward in Northwestern Russia along the Baltic shores, in the direc- tion of the gulf of Riga. Rapid strides are being made, according to the German official statement yes. terday, which said that the Russians were in flight and were being rapid ly pursued in the direction of the city of Riga.
 South of Mitau, on this march, the Germans captured 100 Russians, making the total so far in this ad- vance 3,2OO. Four cannon and four machine guns, abandoned by the Russians in their fight, also fell into the hands of the Germans.
 This advance, apparently, will have the effect of cutting off the Russian port of Libau, which is of utmost inn portance to the czar's commerce ond military preparations.

 Dr, Williams Elected.
 The council held rather lengthy executive session early in the night, following which it was announced that Dr. Harry E. Williams, Jr., had been elected city physician. The of flee carries no salary.
 Under suspension of the rules, an ordinance was adopted instructing the Pine Bluff company to extend it's siX-inch water main from Twenty sec ond and Poplar streets about 300 feet east to the east side of Oak street thus affording water to six houses.
 The chairman of the sanitary com mittee was instructed to take up with the city scavenger the complaints against dumping at the foot of Ten ,nessee street.
 The mayor was instructed to confer with the City Beautiful club, relative to having the sanitary officer start the citizens to cleaning up, and also to discuss the matter of putting the city in more sanitary condition, as well as that of cleaning the streets prior to the approaching conventions. The council ordered the return to Billy Bryant s30 deposited by him as payment for jitney buss license for next year. Mr. Bryant wrote that he is disseminating his jitney service of three cars. sg On motion of Chairman Simpson of the sanitary committee, the council decided that the following places are nuisances, which must be abated within fifteen days:
 212 East Eleventh street: barn back of Steele's stable at Fourth and Pine streets; two houses owned by J. Jones, in East Sixth avenue by the bayou; house at Twenty-second and Elm streets, and a house in the 700 block in Walnut. All these except the barn have been damaged by fire in the recent or remote past.

Nothing Is being gained by any of
the factions through the many
changes in control in that city ac-
companied as they are by the need
less sacrifice of life. destruction Of
property and decentralization Of the
city in general. In this connection 1t
is a significant fact that Villa has
declared his willingness to agree to
such a proposition. It is an express
sion which he doubtless feels will car
ry weight with this government and
there can be no question but what
he will gain much respect for his
quick and decisive answer in that re-
gard, for it is to be remembered that
zapata. his ally, is already in control
there. 1t is an expression in keeping
with the quick payment Of an indem-
nifty Of $4,000 to the widow of J. B.
McManus for his death at the hands
of the Zapata-V Villa adherents.
1t is likely that the agreement Of
Villa to such plan will be sufficient
to cause Carranza to oppose 1t, but If
it could be brought about 1t would
be an important concession by all the
revolutionists in the interest of the
country and valuable effort in be-
half Of the safety of foreigners.

SHOULD SERVE HIS TlME.

When a politician in New York was
sent to the penitentiary for participat-
ing in a scheme for the selling Of a
superior court judgeship. it was agreed
that the only sensible thing that was
possible had been done. He was gull
ty Of trading in the very foundation
of justice and for his own future guild
ance and for lesson to others who
might be tempted to engage in any
such undertaking. He deserved no
more sympathy than might be ex-
tended to any man who labors
under the dangerous delusion
that he can snap his fingers at the law
even though he is deeply engaged in
it's very corruption.
Such a conviction and sentence will
fall far short of its purpose if the ap-
peal for a pardon which he is prepar-
ing is successful. That he should
take every advantage which is afford
ed him under the circumstances is not
surprising. That is his privilege but
it should be above those reputable citi-
zens who are signing petitions in be-
half of such action to become a party
to any such effort.
Petitions as they go are tricky
things. There are more reasons than
that of sincere interest for signing
them but when the citizens of any
community are asked to aid in such
an undertaking as is contemplated in
New York they should be above par
ticipation. 1t does them no credit to
be associated Herewith. The guilty
party in such case. should be made
to serve his time. It Is the only way
in which there can be a proper check
upon such tendencies in the future,

NoRwrcH's FUTURE AT STAKE.

Public interest in the welfare Of
Norwich has never Jagged. 1t is not
tagging now and there is no inclina-
ton in that direction. The unanimous
opposition which Is being shown to
the proposed division Of the town has
been manifested by individual. cor
porate and municipal action The
large number of representative cih-
zens who went to Hartford at their
own expense could not have been
drawn out by an ordinary matter of
legislation. 1t is realized that a mat
ter which is Of vital concern to the
future of Norwich is at stake and de-
serves the marshaling Of its united
forces against a move which If car
ried through would be an irreparable,
unjustffied and undeserved wrong.
1t will be with the same idea that
another large delegation, inspired by
the same interest as on the previous
occasion, will go to Hartford today
for the continued hearing. Every in
terest in Norwich realizes what blow
to the future of Norwich would be
dealt if the desire of the petitioners
is carried out. It is a move in the
wrong direction. It is against the
spirit Of the times and against the
very foundation of a progressive COM
munity.
Norwich is not attempting or plan
ming to attempt any move against the
interests Of its outlying districts. 1t
is on the other hand, as it always has
been and as it's acts fully indicate,
, thoroughly alive to their needs. There
are sections which have been cared
for with as full a realization of their
needs as If they were actually within
the city, yet the real burden has been
and is being borne by that section
which is opposing the change.
Norwich cannot look with anything
but confidence upon the outcome, be-
lieving as 1t does that the committee
when it is fully acquainted with the
facts as they exist, and after as it
hopes q personal inspection Of the ter
ritory, must find that 1t is not only
unwarranted but against the interests
of ali concerned to grant any petition
for separation

NEW ENGLAND UNITY.

Many times has the need Of uni
fornity in legislation been pointed out
for the states Of this country, and
particularly for those states which are
closely allied in their interests, and
closely Joined as to territory. This
has been found to be advisable when
it comes to divorce and marriage laws
for the general welfare of society and
just now New England is experience
ing a test in that relation concerning
legislation in behalf of the railroad
systems.
The four northern states in this sec
ton are being asked to pass laws
which will aid in the reorganization
of the Boston & Maine system. That
reorganization must take place or
bankruptcy will follow is fully dis
closed. In the three southern states
legislation which will assist the New
Haven system is being sought.
Realizing the complications through
the selfish and local interests the
Springfield Republican points out that
"the history of legislative bodies, I'M
der somewhat similar circumstances,
is that they will work in harmony
only when menaced by common
peril sufficiently grave to force unity
of action. Short Of that incentive they
must be actuated by the highest con-
ception of the public interest over an
area extending beyond mere state
lines"
The relation Of a railroad system
to section Of the country or to the
respective states through which 1t OPP
crates should not be misunderstood.
There should be that spirit OF COOP
Grafton which will help them both.
| Each is important to the other. AT
the present time, however, the legisla-
ton sought by the New Haven has
the better indication Of success.
