NATIONS AT WAR CAN'T
ARBITRARILY CHANGE
WARFARE LES-.W|LSON

WASHINGTON, March 2..--That no nation
can change the rules of warfare without the
concurrence of all other nations was the sig
nificant statement by President Wilson, to-.
day. while discussing the blockade policy
of Great Britain and the Allies.
The president made no direct reference to
the action the United States will take, but it
was learned from an official source that the
administration will call upon Great Britain
to define the means by which she proposes
to carry out her decree.
WASHINGTON, March 2.-.-The American
government will protest to Great Britain and
the Allies against their determination to stop
all trade to and from Germany. The form
of the protest was discussed at a cabinet
meeting today. A tentative outline was
drawn, but the administration was silent on
the matter.

THIRD DIVISION OF
FLYING SQUADRON
TO END CAMPAIGN
ARRIVED TODAY-WiLl HOLD
TWO OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
HANuEY, ONE OF THE SPEAK
ERS TONIGHT.

The second division of the Flying
Squadron of America arrived yester-
day and held meetings 1T 2:3O and
1880 p. IN. ut the Congregational
church. Large audiences greeted the
speakers. DR.. Ira Lardrith and DR..
William =. Sherid.,:., on both occa-
sions.
Travelling with the second division
are Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Butler, whose
ability as musicians al1 much to the
impressiveness of the gatherings.
DR.. Sheridan is leading citizen of
Chicago and prominently known over
the country as an enemy of the liquor
,"unlc. and "a IN advo cate of national
prohibition. lis addresses are calcu-
lated to have the favora BILE effect they
are designed to produce.
Dr. Landrih of Nashville, Tenn,
who is president of tie famous south
ern college for yoang women, Ward
Belmont, spoke to large audience
last night, making a profound impress
sion. He Is a captivating talker, and
humorist whose humorous sallies
combined with the bristling array of
facts, statistics and logical statements
which flow steadily from his mouth
make him formidable antagonist of
the alleged dangerous interests he has
elected to fight. Here is one Of his
significant statements:
"The preacher who has not discov-
cred that the saloon is bad thing
ought to exchange his clerical robes
mule, which would be doubtful society
for the mule!"
Another was this:
"If we church men had saved all of
the ammunition we have fired at each
other, over water and predestination
and foreordination and apostasy and
apostolic succession and church gov
ernment that will not mean
anything in the world to come-if we
had saved all the bullets We have fired
at each other and turned our guns on
the enemy, we'd have had the devil on
the run long time ago. We are done
now with such fratricidal war and the
saloon must CO."
The third and last division of the
Flying Squadron arrived today, and
meetings are to be held at the same
hours at the same place. Several dis
tingushed gentlemen are included in
the third group, viz, Ex-Governor Han
ley Of Indiana; Oliver w. Stewart, of
Chicago, a former member of the Him
ois legislature; ]. b. Lewis, of Boston,
also an ex-legislator, of Massachu-
sets; Miss Vera X, Mullin, of Indian
apolls, an accomplished singer, will
direct the music.
1t is probable that Governor Hanley
will speak tonight on John Barley
corn," two words made world-famous
by Jack London in the, story of his
own redemption from the alcoholic.

OF PERRY
GOES TO BICELOW
Scrap Between Two Cities
For Distinguished Honor
Is Settled by the Com
missioners.

Bigelow, Ark, Oct. 15--The coun-
ty seat contest in Perry county,
which figuratiyely has been hang
ing in the balance since the county
election commissioners adjourned
last Monday, was settled yesterday,
when the commission met at Casa
and decided in favor of Bigelow.
The vote, according to the final
count made by the commissioners
is as follows:
For removal, 1854; against re-
moyal, 1877; for Bigelow, LIS; for
Perryville, S26; total vote cast was
2,062; Bigelow's lead over Perry
vile, $50.
This is the second time that agi-
tation has been started for removal
Of the county seat. II the other
election, more than year ago, Per-
ryville defeated Bigelow by a large
majority. This has been the most
bitter struggle of all the contests,
but there seems to be q conviction
that the contests are over and that
pretty soon the records OF the coun-
ty will be moved to the new capital.

CONVICT'S BROTHER
KILLED BY LAWYER
Ki Mclaughlin Accuses AL
len Nixon of Aiding Rel
ative's Conviction, Fight
Then Follows.

Ozark, Oct. 1S.-Ki Mclaughlin
brother of Neal Mclaughlin, who is
in the Arkansas penitentiary under
sentence of death-was killed and
Allen Nixon, representative from
Franklin county in the Arkansas
Legislature, was seriously wounded
in a desperate fight at Jethro, u
miles north of here, Saturday after
noon.
1t is said the fight started when

Nixon of being largely responsible
for his brothers conviction.
Nixon shot Mclaughlin three
times. He died two hours later,
Nixon has a cash four inches long
in his throat. His friends telephon-
ed Saturday night that he was on
his way to Ozark to surrender to the
sheriff.
Neal Mclaughlin, whose home
was near the scene of the tragedy
was sentenced to be electrocuted
after he had been convicted of as
saulting a young woman of the
neighborhood. His case was ap-
pealed to the Arkansas supreme
court. September q that body de-
cided that it had no jurisdiction
of the case because the appeal had
not been filed within the time al
lowed by law, Governor Hays has
not yet fixed the date of McLaugh-
Inns execution.

John L. Mosby, of the Tucker

work for the Rock Island lines for
several years, has been employed as
director of this important phase of
the activity of the Memphis Bust

CRIME DECREASES
IN BORDER CITY
Fort Smith Pleased With
Results Under Prohibi-
tion-Police Docket is
Good Index.

Commenting on the wonderful
decrease in crime in Fort Smith
since the saloons were put out of
bushes in August, the Times-Rec-
ord of that city says:
ga comparison was evident in the
police court yesterday morning and
in the police court of a year ago
when whiskey held Fort Smith in
it's clutches. After the court had
been dismissed it was found that the
city Jail was empty and that last
October it was crowded to capa-
city.
During the current month there
has been 20 cases before Mayor
Read and this same time last year
there were 139 cases for the first
nine days of the month. This shows
a decrease in crime and arrests of
over 1870 cases in nine days. Often
when the town was wet there would
be as many as fifty cases before the
court in a single day. Now an aver
age of five DRINKS per week would
be over estimating it.
There is nothing to it," said
the mayor, right here is the best
place to demonstrate that whiskey
does cause arrests. The records of
this court prove it."
Zone vagrant, who was ordered
to leave the city within five min
utes, and a colored boy, charged
with stealing and dismissed with a
warning, were the only culprits who
faced the bar"
