MARsH's POLITICAL FUNCTION.

Nevada Representative
The Representative has found Itself
called down q few times for having in
Dictated in plain language TIA: Mr.. W.
W. Marsh would find difficulty in being
elected governor of Iowa next year on
the democratic ticket. We are sorry
for the offense but thought we had
made it plain that the difficulty would
be on account of Mr.. Marsh's de-
mocracy and not on account OF his
personality. and we may say further in
support of our intention that in the
passing years since 1852 very con-
siderable number of very excellent
democrats have sought to be elected
governor of Iowa in spite OF their de-
mocracy and on. account of personals
ties in sundry cases really attractive,
and yet only one of the, number has
succeeded in being elected. Gr. Marsh
was not made the object of discrimi-
nation in the Representatives para
graph. Further it was called to at
tention in the same paragraph that
the prospective nominal ton of Mr.
Marsh would make ii incumbent upon
the republicans to- nominate really
fit man for their candidate. If Mr..
Marsh can force the republicans 10
nominate against him man worthy
of the governorship he will have ac-
complished more than some democratic
candidates for governor have accom-
plished.

WARSH|PS CHARGED
Collector Malone of New York
Would Prevent Supplying
of British Cruisers.

NEW YORK. April 6.-Dudley F. Ma
lone. collector of the port, made a final
tour of the New York and Hoboken,
in his effort to prevent violation of the
neutrality of this port by an organiza-
tion which he charges has been formed
here to furnish supplies to British
cruisers lying off New York
The trip along the wharves was made
in the destroyer MacDougall, one of
the naval vessels stationed here to
guard the neutrality of the port.
Mr.. Malone declared he intended to
ask the federal grand jury to take ac-
ton at once against an organization
which, he said, appeared to be engaged
In conspiracy to violate the Presi-
dents proclamation Of neutrality. Evi-
dence the collector has obtained in a
series of secret midnight tours of the
waters around New York, on board
destroyer. it is understood, will be sub
mitted to the grand jury. This, to-
gether with information obtained by
agents of the collector. he asserted
tends to show that a fleet of large tug
boats has been sought by the organi-
zation. having headquarters in a New
York hotel. to move supplies from vari-
Gus points to the British warships
which have been watching the entrance
to New York harbor almost since the
beginning of the war.
Hopes to Nip Conspiracy.
With the aid of the grand jury, Mr.
Malone hoped to break up the alleged
conspiracy and prevent the use of New
York as base of supplies for the war
ships. THE cruisers have not the
right to remain at sea beyond the
three-mile limit and make a neutral
port in this country their base of sup
plies,' he said.
The collector said he knew the names
of British warships lying outside the
three e-mile limit, but he declined to
announce them. Their number. he
said, varied from two to five.
At Mr.. Malone's request, two more
destroyers are expected to arrive here
within a few days to aid in preventing
violations of neutrality. His action
he said, was based entirely upon facts
discovered by secret service men. and
not on complaints lodged by any for
eign government.
The collector is proceeding under the
provisions of q resolution passed b.
Congress March 3, empowering the
President to direct collectors of ports
to refuse clearance to vessels carrying
arms, ammunition or supplies to war

hardly had their eyes open. The owner
of the mother dog had been going
away and did not know what to do with
her. but friend told her of the Ami

difficulty. There were other dogs in
other parts of the home, some of them

He is such a fine animal that I am

a good home" she said.
With a flying leap a black and white
cat landed on Miss Coursey's shoulder
from a nearby bench. They are very
friendly" said Miss Coursey, "and they
soon learn to know who their friends
are You might think that with such
a large number of cats there would
be an awful yowling at night, but they
make very little noise. though some
times I have to come down to stop a
fight
In the room where the animals are
chloroformed Miss Coursey showed the
bodies of four little kittens which had
been thrown out in an alley to die. The
league agent had found them and
brought them to the home, where they
were humanely put out of the way.
I'VE have no place connected directly
with the home where we can care for
horses. but if we are notified of a
horse case. we can always hire stall

She said that the league was planning
to buy up some Of the old. diseased
and decrepit horses which are sold for
song at auctions here frequently, and
which often fall into the hands of per-
sons who try to make them work
when all they are fit for is to die.

chloroform an eighteen-year-o dog,

THE ROAD TAX LEVY
 APPROVED BY HOUSE
Passes Senate Resolution Providing for Amendment to Constitution That Counties May Submit
 the Question.

By vote of so to 8, the House yes terday declared itself in favor of amending the State Constitution to allow counties so desiring to levy q 3-mill road tax, issue bonds and bor- row money on the same, the money to be used exclusively for bridge and road work. The House in declaring itself passed Senate resolution which provides for the proposed amendment to be submitted to the people at the next General election.
 "The County Courts in their respec- tive counties, in addition to the county tax now allowed to be levied, shall have he power when authorized" says the resolution, 'to levy an annual tax not exceeding 3 mills on the dollar of all taxable property, which shall be collected and expended in making and repairing public roads and bridges in their respective counties; and said court shall have power, after author lity given as hereinbefore provided, to levy tax not exceeding 3 mills on the dollar on all taxable property for period of time not to exceed thirty years, to borrow money, issue bonds and pledge the revenues arising from the tax levied for a period of time, to pay the interest and principal of any sum or sums borrowed. All bonds issued by authority herein given, shall bear rate of interest not to exceed 6 per cent per annum. All sums SD borrowed shall be used exclusively in making roads and bridges in the coun- ty. The annual tax and the tax for a period of years shall not both be lev jed and be in force at the same time in any county. The levy of one shall not exclude the levy of the other"
 Before any such levy shall be made, however, according to provisions Of the resolution, the question must be submitted to the voters of the county for their approval, and must receive majority of the votes cast. The election can be held with any regu-
 lar election or a special election call ed for the purpose.
 Only eight representatives voted against the measure.
 They were A. G. Bray, lndepen- dence County; w. H. Hollensworth, Ouachita county; Joe Joiner, Colum- bia county, D. w. Jones, Pulaski coun- ty; H. c. Reiger, Pulaski County; k. G. Shoffner, Pulaski County; W. J.. Wagoner Lonoke County; and Lon Williams, Benton County.

SENATE EVENLY DIVID-
 ED ON PROHIBITION
Both Sides Feeling Very UncOmfOr- table. Return of Senator WassOn Adds One More to Antis-
 Vote on Collins Bill Test

Little Rock, Jan. 2S.-Senator J. N. Wasson of Caddo Gap, the only Sena- te absentee, returned Wednesday to his seat, showing very plainly the effects of his weeks illness.
 The liberals were noticeably reliev- ed over the return of Senator Wasson, for it meant one more vote against the statewide liquor bill.
 Test votes on the prohibition ques- tion so far show the "prohis" and "antis" to be too uncomfortably evenly divided to suit either side. The first test came on a motion to read the White statuatory prohibition bill, when the advocates of the measure showed IS votes. The second clash came on the motion to read the Collins submission bill a second time. This motion prevailed 15 to IA, and almost immediately afterwards the bill was indefinitely postponed, IT to 15. One who opposed the motion sat in the cloak room and did not vote An other Senator spoke against postpone ment and then declined to vote. These, with Senator Wasson being absent, would have kept the bill on the calen- dar had they all been registered.
 The last vote on the Collins bill is considered a real test, but two of those supporting it will vote for statewide prohibition by statute if they cannot get a submission bill, so the Senate seems to stand IS to IT for prohibition as one voting for indefinite postpone ment will vote against any kind of a prohibition bill.

 ON PROHIBITION
MT. Wallis of White, Introduces Mea- sure Making it Felony to Give Away Whiskey Without Li-

Little Rock, Jan. 2S.-A spirited fight was precipitated in the House by Ia bill introduced by MT. Walls of White, to make it a felony, punishable by sentence of from one to three years, to "sell or give away or cause to be sold or given away, clandestinely and without first procuring license now provided by the law, any whis- key, alcohol, ardent, vinous, spurious or malt liquors, or any compound or tincture commonly called bitters, or tonics whether the same be sold or given away or secretly" It was moved to indefinitely postponed, and this supported by several on the ground that it is too drastic an provid- ing penitentiary sentence for giving away liquor Speaker Sawyer oppos- ing the bill, declared that prohibition is coming but that it must be reached by a more reasonable method. Mr.. Bray of Independence jocularly sug- gested that the General Assembly be exempted from the provisions of the bill. It was the first time the prohi- bition question had arisen in the House, and the vote was considered to certain degree test of the sen timent of the body, although many who opposed the bill said they favor statuatory prohibition. Mr. Wells eloquently defended the bill, and after an hours debate the motion to post pone was defeated by viva voce vote.

DIFFERENCE $65,OOO
 HOLDING SETTLEMENT
Compromise Offered by Railroads on Basis of 50 per Cent-Means Re- turn of About $65O, O,OOO-15
 Per Cent in Cash.

Little Rock, Jan. 2S.-A difference of $65,O00 is between the representa- tives of the shippers of the state and the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & South ern and the Cotton Belt railroads in the attempted compromise by which the rate cases are to be settled. Un- less one side gives in these cases will go to trial in Federal court Thursday. The sum stated is the attorneys fee paid by the State, but of his S15.O0O was repaid by the railroads when the Supreme Court decided in favor of the State. This does not include any additional fee for the States attor- neys.
 The compromise offered by the rail : roads, according to one of the ship pers' representatives, is on basis of 50 per cent, which will mean the re- turn of about $600000 to shippers. The railroad proposes to pay 15 per cent of this in cash when the settle ment is ratified, and the balance in script, which may be redeemed in payment for freight. Mileage is to be issued to those holding passenger rebate claims, good for inter- state transportation only.
