value was taken by the intruders
Several weeks ago, stated Mrs

NEGRO, LOST IN BOT TOMS, DIES IN

events later proved,
The brother, with other negroes

until last week they found the dead
mans gun on one side of a hollow
log and his ak on the other. Inside
the log they found the dead body
in a crouching position. This was
not very far from his home, in a
spot not previously searched, and it

GOV. HAYS THWARTS

Board Directors.

Little Rock, March LIT was
authoritatively announced last
night that Gov. Hays will approve
the bill passed yesterday changing
the domicile of the st. Francis
Levee Board from Marion to West
Memphis.
The bill providing for the cleo
ton of directors of the St. Fran
els Levee District was yesterday We
toed by Gov. Hays.
In announcing his veto Gov.
Hays said:
Il am in favor Of the election by
the people of directors of the St
Francis Levee Board, and | was in
hopes that the present bill would
be one that could be approved by
me, but after strenuous objections
to same were made, | called upon
one OF the bond attorneys of the
city of Little Rock and also the at
torney general, and their opinions
which co-incided exactly, caused me
to veto the measure.
They said that if the present
bill became law, the bonds of the
st. Francis Levee District amount
ing to $465,00O, authorized by the
legislature, could not be sold, for
the reason that no one would have
authority to issue or sign the
bonds"

announced the following appoint
ments as directors of the St. Fran
els Levee District: Tennis Martin of
Cross county, vice O. n. Killough: :

BRUNDIDCE THINKS
RACING LOCALIZED
Considers Veto of Hot Springs
Measure NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
iates Governor Hays.

Little Rock, March 12.-That the
Sawyer racing bill is law despite
Governor Hays attempt to veto it
is the opinion of former Congress
man Stephen Brundidge of Searcy,
who enjoys the reputation of being
in the first rank of Arkansas law
yers. Mr.. Brundidge, who was
Governor Hays opponent for the
special democratic primary nearly
two years ago, arrived in Little
Rock Wednesday night.
From the statements of witness
es to the signing of the racing bill
as published in the Little Rock pa
pers, | am of the opinion that the
bill has become a law, and the re-
suit so attained was neither by ac
cident nor mistake said Mr., Brun-
didge.
still, any one can readily see
just why the friends of the bill
should be very much wrought up
over the present tangle and mud
die in which they find themselves.
Upon the other hand the peO-
pie of the state who are opposed
to legalizing the betting on horse
racing will always have cause to re-
greet that the still small voice
that finally spoke to the governor
late last Monday afternoon, remain
ed for so long a time speechless. If
it had just spoken a day or two
sooner all this trouble would have
been prevented. To my mind the
most regrettable thing connected
with the whole transaction is the
very undesirable notOriety and
free advertising the state is just
now getting away from home"

Blackton, March 12.-News has

covery, under peculiar circum-

but the dogs reaching home alone,
the negro's brother went in search
of him. Far from home few days
later the brother found a sack of

The Woodman Circle drill team

The latter team had the new work

TORPEDO SINKS U. S. SHIP
American Boat Leelanaw Laden With
Flax For Belfast Goes Down of
Scottish Coast.

Neutrality-suspicious. of the sinking
yesterday, off the northwest coast of
Scotland, of the American steamship
Leelanaw, laden with flax for Belfast,
by a German submarine, has caused
great concern in official quarters and
has admittedly aggravated the tense
situation now existing between the
United States government and the
imperial German government.
While Germany specifically declared
fax an absolute contraband of war on
April is, and while officials hesitated
to construe the latest hostile act Of
Germany as coming within the warn.
ing Of the last note, the view is taken
that Germany, in effect, had disre-
garded an earlier note sent in connec-
tion with the sinking of the American
sailing ship William p. Frye, by the
German cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich.
In that communication the United
States vigorously asserted its position
that even though an American ship
carried contraband of war, 1t was pc
culiariy protected from destruction by
the stipulations of the Prussian-Amer.
lean treaty Of 1928. Flax was declared
absolute contraband by Germany on
April Is, as retaliation against the
British contraband declaration.
Although presidents of international
law in recent years, supported particu.
larry by the declaration Of London,
have recognized the right of bellig.
erent to sink a neutral vessel carrying
contraband, If the ship was certain
of condemnation by a prize court. the
action has been limited to extreme
cases where the taking of prize into
port would involve danger to the cap
turing vessel.

U. S. WILL ACT IN MEXICO
Belief Is That Immediate Action VIII

fed over the semi-oficial announce
ment that the administration intends
to act affrmatively on the Mexican
situation in the near future That the
action viii take the form of another
pronouncement. calling for the coop
Grafton of the three most powerful
Latin-American nations Argentine,
Brazil and Chile-is the suggestion
most generally accepted. Just what
form Of cooperative action will be
suggested by this government is a
subject Of much interesting specula-
ton.
That the action does not involve the
recognition of any of the factions now
in arms, is taken for granted. That
1t does not involve the proffer of moral
support to any junta outside the bor-
ders of Mexico is equally certain. And
no one believes that armed interven-
ton by this country is imminent. The
announcement of an embargo on ship
ments of arms to all factions, prelimi-
nary to the determination of a policy
of cooperation with Latin-American
countries is considered likely.
The administration is known to
have about made up its mind that mel.
Their of the two larger factions in arms
can reasonably be looked upon to re-
store peace and order. The action
OF Pablo Gonzales in turning Mexico
City over to the zapatistas after a brief
occupation, is clearly indicative of the
strength of the Vlllistas and the weak
ness Of the Caranza forces in general.
