CONTEMPT HEARING
 ON MICHIGAN ROAD.

Lansing, Mich., Jan. 5.-Today is the last day allowed by the Supreme Court to the Detroit & Mackinac rail- road to show why it's officials should not be held in contempt for failure to carry out it's order. The contro- versy originated over the rate on logs, the state railroad commission order ing the road to accept logs at cer- tain rate for transportation. Appeals were taken and the Michigan courts sustained the ruling. Before permitt-
 ing the case to go to the United States Supreme Court, where it is now, the Michigan Supreme Court in- sisted that the road furnish a bond of $1OO,OOO to protect the shippers when the case was finally settled. The railroad refused to furnish the. bond, and another suit was begun in the federal courts, where three judges af- firmed the action of the railroad com mission and the Michigan courts. An appeal was taken to the federal su- preme court, and the officials of the road were notified of the contempt proceedings, and ordered to show cause why they should not be punished for contempt.

STATE CHARITABLE
 BOARD HELD MEETING
Now Board Requests Old Board to Meet With-Refused and Old Board is in Session in Reg
 ular Rooms in Capitol.

1;+tle Rock. Jan. 5.-The new Board for the State Charitable Institutions roet at 1O:3O a. m. Monday in the of Goo of Gov. Hays with all members nresent except MT. Burris.
 The Attorney General was request od to confer with the members of the oId Board and propose to them that tho two Boards meet together and consider the awarding of contracts for supplies for the institutions for inc month of January. Atty. Gen. Moose agreed to make the offer. Neither party was to lose anything bv this action and no advantage was to be gained thereby.
 Subsequently, the Encouragement returned and reported that he had made the offer of the new Board to the old Board and that the old Board had decined to accept it. This offer was made by the new Board in order that the institutions of the state might not suffer by reason of any question arising as to the legality of the action of either board in award ing contracts for the supplies. It was made simply in the spirit of har- mony for the best interests of the state institutions, and not for the purpose of acquiring any rights The new Board is still in session and will likely continue for another day or two. Its sessions are held in the governors office.
 The Old Board is in session in the regular Board rooms, with Messrs. Parsons, Love, Dunaway, and Shane in attendance. An unusually large number of bids for supplies is being considered, and the Board will be in session three or four days.
 Judge R. C. Love, speaking for the old Board said: "Through the Attor- ney general, the new Board made a request that they be allowed to sit with us and pass upon the bids. But as We do not recognize them, we re- fused. As the governor has sought to dismiss the Board and appoint a new Board, thus raising complications in the business matters of the institu- tions, we disclaim any responsibility for any tie-up, if such occurs, and feel that the responsibility should rest on the governor"
 Gen. Tom Greene, of Pine Bluff, acknowledged to be a member of both Boards, is not sitting with either.

COTTON JUMPS TO GAIN
 OF OVER $1.5O A BALE
Most Active Months in Trading on New Orleans Exchange Go 26 to 32 Points Over Close
 Last Week.

New Orleans, Jan. 4.-Cotton to- day made the greatest advance it has on any day since trading was re- stunned on the local exchange. The most active months in the trading up to noon went 26 to 32 points over the close of last week, gain of more than a dollar and half bale on the strongest months. March rose to f.o3c, as compared with the loow lev el of 6.94c made during the beginning of the European war.
 The advance was caused by heavy buying by outside interests, continued large transactions in the spot depart ment, heavy booking of ocean tonnage by cotton exporters and the better re- ports from the stock market.

DEMAND NATIONAL
 CHILD LABOR LAW

Washington. Jan. 5.-That a half million children can be released from exacting and injurious work in Amer ican factories and workshops during the present year, is the claim of the National Child Labor Committee, which reported to the national con- ference on Child Labor today. A new campaign on behalf of the Palmer Owens Bill in Congress has been be- gun, and the first step in the campaign is the convention of leaders in the child labor fight from all sections of the country, which opened here today for meetings covering two days.
 It was an enthusiastic meeting to- day, for the reports of progress of the movement in the various states was indeed cheering. But no half way measures will satisfy the leaders who demand uniform law that will apply to all states. It is planned to send representatives of the national committee to appear before 15 legis- latures where child labor enactments are pending.
 Among the speakers who will ad- dress the convention here today and tomorrow are Senators Owen and Kenyon, Congressman Palmer of Pennsylvania, Murdock of Kansas, Miss Julia c. Lathrop, chief of the Children's Bureau, Miss aJne Addams of Chicago and others.
 The next move in the campaign is the observance of child labor days on Jan. "A and 25, when 10000 clergy men and school principals throughout the country will deliver addresses.

STATE HIGHWAY COMMIS-
 SION FILES REPORT
Recommends B Sections Act Great Ing Commission be RepeaIed-De- fective and no Marketable
 Bonds Could be Issued

Little Rock, Jan. 5.-The first bien- nal report of the State Highway Commission has been filed with the Governor.
 Among other things the Commis- slon points out defects in Act 3O2. creating the Commission, and says: Like all new laws, Act No. BOP had to put into practical operation to find that in some respects it is cumber some and in others defective and i'm practicable. It was found to be cum bersome in it's operation in the for mation of improvement districts. It was also found that bonds issued un- der this act would be of no commercial value. This question was raised by Ross, Hemingway, Cantrell, Lough- borough & Miles, firm of able attor- neys who are authority on bonds and their value and whose stamp of appro- val must be on every bond issue in Arkansas for public improvements be- fore buyers will invest their money.
 Attorney general Moose, to whom the matter was referred, concludes
 that "the act is defective and no marketable bonds could be issued un- der it."
 The Commission recommends that 35 sections of the act be repealed, and |sections be substituted, and "so word ed that road improvement districts may be formed in a more business like and simple way, with the inter- ests of the people properly safe guarded"
 It is recommended that the present law governing automobile licenses be amended so that the amount of the license shall be graduated by the horsepower, as the "owner of light twenty-h. D. machine should not be compelled to pay as much for li- lcense as one would on sixty-h. D. machine" It also recommends a half yearly rate when the machine is pur- chased after Aug. 1.
 State Highway Engineer H. R. Car ter reports that when he assumed the office he found 36,000 miles of public roads. in the state with less than 1000 miles improved. He declares that "a comparison of our road conditions with those of other states is indeed embarrassing" How roads may be im- proved is discussed at length in a practical manner. He recommends a comprehensive plan for state high way system as an essential to pro- gress," also the compilation of com plete map of our public highways. System in road matters is as neces- sary as in any private business" says MT. Carter, "yet we are in the same rut and have been for forty years.
 Under our present lack of system, an enormous sum of $1,200,000 per year is being spent from the general three mill tax alone, with no great improve ments over conditions in the past. It is better to build ten miles of the best construction on important roads reaching the most people than to patch mud-holes over the entire county.

and free national development to the incidents and

the first we have made with all parts
of liberty this side the and have deemed it

At the embassy all comment on 1t

fully, approved Secretary Lansing's
decision and it is authoritatiyely said
it will be adhered to no matter what
Germany does.
Neither was there any indication Of
whether the reply would meet the COR
