to question from Frederick w. Jow.
ett, whether England knew OF and ap.
proved the statement Of the Russian
foreign minister, M. Sazanoff, In the
Duma. that Russia intended perma.
nently to occupy Constantinople."
The foreign secretary responded
that he was unaware that M. Sazanoff
had made any such statement, but
he added. "the statement l have seen
was that M. Sazanoff had said that
the events on the Russo.Turksh
frontier would bring Russia nearer

Commission Has Power.


Attorney-General Barker, in an
opinion given to the state senate,
places all responsibility for increas.
ing railroad rates upon the public
service commission.
A resolution introduced by Senator
Carter and adopted n the senate
called on the encouragement to say
whether. in his opinion, the public
service commission had power to in.
crease rates above the 2.cent passen.
ger rate and the maximum freight
rates fixed by statute.
Attorney-General Barkers reply to
the senate resolution was awaited
with interest by politicians, because
1t was known that Barker and John
NJ. Atkinson. chairman of the public
service commission, were rival candi-
dates for governor, and the final de-
cision Of the rate question might have
substantial effect on the guberna-
torial race.
Barker's opinion holds that pending
legislation looking toward an in
crease in maximum rates is superflu.
Gus. "The legislature" he says, "has
already conferred all the power that
1t can upon this commission to raise
rates."

WILL CELEBRATE 0P-
 EWING ROAD SATURDAY
Road Connecting Hot Springs with Outside World most Expensive in State. Laws Enacted by Leg
 islature Will Help.

What is without a doubt the most expensive bit of road building in Ark ansas will be opened to the public next Saturday in a celebration in Hot Springs. This is the road connecting Hot Springs with the outside world. The pike is completed only from Hot Springs to the Saline county line, but as the road winds through the hills and the old creek bottom route has been obliterated through a series of costly concrete bridges, the trip to Hot Springs by motor is now a thing or pleasure, instead of am undertaking for only the venturesome motorist.
 Saline county has lacked the means to close the gap between the Pulaski and Garland county boundaries, and thus make it continuous macadam road to Hot Springs from Little Rock, but the road commissioners of this county have done such wonders with the dirt road that little difference is noticed, except in extremely rainy weather.
 The road laws enacted by the recent General Assembly are expected to r9- suit in east and west roads out of Little Rock, so that in a short time Hot Springs will be accessible to Memphis, and many other cities by motor car, enabling the owners to spend the weekend in Hot Springs
