LITTLE ROCK. Ark, Jan. 25.--The
Arkansas supreme court today upheld
an act by the legislature two years
ago recurring all railroads that oper-
ate lines more thar so miles long to
have at least three brakemen on trains
of more than 2 freight cars.
The Frisco railroad. which had been
fined under the act, appealed on the
ground that II does not have so miles
OF continuous trackage in Arkansas.
The court held that the act applies
to all railroads OF more than so miles
that enter Arkansas, no matter what
portion of their tracks may lie In
this state. Attorneys for the railroads
announced they will appeal 70 the

pressed the presidents regret that
Wick left obliged to resign and "my
sincere admiration for the way in

The communication was introduced
over Vick's protest that II was a prl-

X. Mitchell, preslden of the Banco Ma

that a misleading translation of the
letter had appeared in Santo Domingo
newspapers, intended to indicate an
lntimae friendship between Wick and
the president which was not war
raued by the text.
This translation, Mitchell charged
was a part Of a campaign to prejudice
Dominicans against the Banco Ma
