20 WOMEN INDICTED
 FOR PLAYING BOOK

Malvern, July 7.-There is wide spread indignation throughout Nal vern as a result of the serving of warrants on 20 of the best known and most highly respected women of this city. The indictments charge that the defendants played rock for prizes at a party given last winter by Malvern woman, who is recog- nized as social leader.
 The indictments were returned by the grand jury last January but the warrants were but recent ly served.
 The storm of indignation that has arisen since the return of the in dictments became known, it is be lieved will make it impossible tc prosecute the cases when circuit court convenes here the third Mon day in July.

 Mrs Marshall accompanied him and they will probably remain here ten days.
 Mir Marshal spoke on "The Dual Citizenship" He took an emphat- ic stand for a citizenship which would interest itself and assert it. self in all affairs of life.
 Speaking of the hyphenated citi- zen, MT, Marshall took stand against that man who holds up his hand and swears he will support the constitution when he knows that he owes an allegiance he will be called on to pay to another country. He said that after the war would be the time to re-enact laws which would be asafeguard against such citizenship.

SUPREME COURT BUSINESSES PETITION
 TO DECLARE THE RACING BILL A LAW

proceeding that the time within which an execution could have been issued on the Judgment has expir- ed and that the judgment is dor mant, the appeal will be dismiss ed"
 Yesterdays decision of the su- preme court marks an end to the fight, it is believed, at least so far as court action is concerned. The law specifics that the acts of the legislature must be published. and although another action might de termine the truth of contentious of the fair association, it would be too late to make the racing bill valid.
 One of the justices, Carroll D. Wood acted in the opinion that he thinks the case should be affirm ed Such action would have been to the effect that Gov. Hays off cial action was to veto the bill, for the circuit court sustained his ve- to. His action yesterday morn ing, however, failed to show wheth- CT the court as a whole believed the bill was. vetoed or approved. The bill which sought to create a state racing commission and to allow the use of pari-mutuel bet ting machines at race courses, was passed by the legislature After the bill went to the governor for his approval, he acted upon it sev- eral times Friends of the meas ure contend that he signed the bill with full intention of approving it, while the governor declared he in tended to veto the measure The bill was returned to the house of representatives, where it originat- ed, with a veto message from the governor
 The court litigation then follow ed.
 The supreme court yesterday sus- tained the conviction of Hood and Jim Baldwin, now serving six years terms in the penitentiary for robbing the Bank of Ginham in Sey-er county.

Little Rock, July 6.-Chances for the revival of the racing game in Arkansas, principally at Hot Springs, was killed yesterday, when the Arkansas supreme court dis missed the petition filed by the Ar kansas state fair association asking for mandamus to compel Secre- tary of State Hodges to advertise the Sawyer racing bill as one of the acts passed by the last legisla- ture. The court dismissed the case on the ground that the acts had al ready been published by the secre- tary of state.
 For the reason that we can not now grant the relief prayed, '" says the decision, i've decline to decide whether the appellant would have been entitled to relief were it in our power to afford it, and his appeal therefore is dismissed.
 Continuing the court said:
 Since submission of this cause here the fact is called to our at tention that the acts of the gen. eral assembly for the session of 1915 already have been published by the secretary of state, and it is now become impossible for this court to award appellants the re- lief prayed, even though we should determine that they were entitled thereto"
 The following rule was cited, to- gether with ruling on several oth- CT cases, as authority for the ac- tion in dismissing the appeal;
 When pending the appeal the circumstances change to such an extent that the appeal involves merely meet question, it will as a general rule be dismissed Thus if the term of imprisonment eX- pires pending an appeal to the jailer from a decision in a habeas corpus proceeding releasing pris- oner from custody, the appeal will be dismissed, or the order granting the writ be affirmed, irrespective of the merits of the appeal, where it appears that the act which the writ commands to be performed had been performed, and of course the same is true where an even occurs pending an appeal from an order refusing the writ which renders it impossible for the court to grant the relief sought. For example where pending an appeal from ar order denying an alternative writ of mandamus in a proceeding com menced against the clerk of the court to compel the issuance of 8 judgment alleged to have been ,rep. dered thereon, it appears affirma. lively from the petition filed in tho

JUNE REPORT OF
 HEALTH OFFICER
Records Show Seventeen Births and Six Deaths-Conditions in Par
 agould Are Excellent.

Continuing an unbroken record for nineteen months, the June re- port of the city health department shows the births far exceeded the deaths-the exact number being seventeen visits from the stork and six from the Grim Reaper. During no month since the health depart ment was established February l, 1914, have the births failed to ex ceed the deaths. Dr. W. R. Owens, city health officer, says sanitary conditions in Paragould are good so good, in fact, that the city is free from the ordinary diseases in- cident to summer weather. This is especially true with reference to illness among babies and children. Usually at this season of the year scores of infants are sick with bow el complaints, and many die from this trouble. This summer, how
  ever there have been not more than a dozen such cases, and only two deaths have resulted
 Of the six deaths recorded one was young man who was fatally injured by a train at Stuttgart; another death was caused by in- juries received in fall; another by cancer; still another by heart trouble, and two were infants who died from bowel complaint.
 Of the seventeen births re- ported for June, eleven were boys and six girls. The complete record is as follows:
 June 3-Mr. and Mrs. Henry M. Bleier, girl.
 June 1o-Mr. and Mrs. John Lewis, boy.
