 SELECTS WILSON
 STATE DELEGATE
President Davis Announces Standing Committees of
 Council.

Tom A. Wilson, secretary of the Pine Bluff central trades council, last night was elected the delegate from the council to the special meeting of the state federation of labor, which is to convene at Little Rock on August 23.
 The local council is entitled to three delegates. but only one was elected last night, it appearing to be the opinion of the members of the council that MT. Wilson would be able to look after the interests of the local council without assistance.
 The meeting was largely attended, and outside the election of the dele gate to the special session of the state federation. was featured by the announcement, by President Davis, of the standing committees of the coun- cil as follows:
 gislative-Charles Reyome. A. w. Lehman and J. D. Monroe.
 Organization-A. S. Maupin, Jack Hurley and F. J., Jones.
 Arbitration-W. B. Hicks, J. M Piper and one to be selected.

POTTERY DEPT.
 POSSIBILITY FOR
 BRANCH NORMAL
State Supt. Cook Tells of Plan While on Visit to
 Pine Bluff.

That a department of pottery may be established at the branch normal college with the beginning of the forthcoming term of the school, was the announcement made yesterday by State Superintendent of Education George B. Cook, who spent the day here looking into affairs of the nor mal college and perfecting arrange ments for other improvements and extensions already agreed upon and announced.
 Nothing definite has yet been decid- ed by MT. Cook or the trustees of the college as to the pottery department. but investigation and consideration of the matter has reached an advanced stage. and some of those who are posted on the condition are of the be- lief that it is just question of a short time before the definite an- nouncement will be made.
 MT, Cook stated during his stay here yesterday that he had received from the bureau of education at Washington letter announcing that an expenditure could be made for the purpose from the Merrill fund, and he also stated that he had ascertalned that the school authorities can obtain, as an instructor two days each week, the head moulder from the big pottery plant at Benton.
 The new department. it is under stood. will begin as sort of dual experiment, first to ascertain how the department as such would succeed at the school, and second. to make thorough test of the claws of Jeffer- son and adjoining counties, that the actual value of these clays for pot tery purposes might be ascertained: It was pointed out that the depart ment now is only possibility. and that if it is established. it will be started on small scale, under very conservative expenditure and manage ment. The school authorities, if they install the .new department, will start on a small plane and will build up as the occasion demands and as the con dtiions warrant.

NeW IOFk, July ZS-Suprema court Justice John Ford handed down a de- cision at 10 o'clock tonight, denving Charles Becker's appeal for third trial.
 T'.is means that Becker must die in the electric chair in Sing Sing Friday morning at 5:45 o'clock.
 The justice declared he had virtu- ally came to a decision on Tues day night, but that he wanted to re- view every available precedent and re-read every case cited by both w. Bourke Cochran. for Becker, and Dis trict Attorney Perkins.
 Justice Ford asserted that he did not believe tihere was any relief from his decision. He is backed in this opinion by District Attorney Perkins and Assistsnt District Attorneys Taylor and Richter.
 The justice declared that the mo- tion could not be granted under the common law ;that he had no such in- herent Dowers as MT. Cochran ascrib ed to him, and that he was cosrnelled to agree with MT. Perkins and MT. Taylor that he was held hard and fast to the statutes set forth in the code of criminal procedure.
 Evidence Osfered Not New.
 Rockers own affidavit, the justice points out, must be disregarded be- cause it is admittedly not new evi- dence. He declares that very little of Kaufman's affidavit is admissible. Ex Sheriff Ginty's affidavit, the opfn- ion holds. carries no weight be- cause i. seeks to impeach Rose. He says the same of the statement ne Joseph Murphy the convict. who swore he heard "Bridgie" Webber framing" Becker.
 Hartford T. Marshall's affidavit, the justice contends, is not admis- sible on the grounds that it tends to ITpeach a witness for the people. Harry Applebaum's affidavit. the justice says. contains nothing that Becker might not have produced in his own defense at his trial.
 "I am of the opinion" the Justice says in his decision "that when sub jected to the test of the statutes and decisions, there is not enough com- petent evidence adduced to have changed the result had it been re- ceived upon the trial.
 < Not Easy to Deny Man Life.s
 ''I am sorry have to do this," de- clared Justice Ford to the reporters "It is not an easy thing to deny T man his life. And today I am cele- brating the fifty-third anniversary of my birth. My wife and daughters are up in the Catskills. I heard from them only today. I.assure you, gen- tlemen, this was no easy task. ''This appeal of Becker's should have been made to Governor Whit man. The powers of the court are ! limited as to criminal cases-so limit ed that when ! came to look into the authorities I saw that there was but one thing for me to do. really ar rived at my decision last night. There Is a growing popular dis content with the tardiness of conyfc- tions. This crime was committed three years ago. There is nothing to show that had the inherent power Ithat MT. Cochran said had. af new trials were granted on such eIouqde
 as this petition is baAed upon. Ws

Czar's Forces Shatter Them selves Against Kaiser's
 Walls of Steel.
GERMANS CONTINUE
 ON TOWARD WARSAW
Mackenzen RepulseS Attack on Flank, tustrianS Crossing Bug and Rcleas- ing Troops Held There IIinden-
 berg Continues EncircliEg Move.

London, July 2S.-The Russians are delivering strong counter attacks with great forces on practically every inn portant front in the eastern theatre, and the German gains, despite the arrival of large endorsements of men and material, have been small.
 Berlin and Vienna both report the repulse of all the counter attacks di- rected against the Teuton front by the Russians, and at several points the Russians have suffered particularly heavy losses, 2.5OO prisoners having been taken by the Germans along the Narew alone.
 In this sector, von Hindenberg's troops have taken by storm the vil- lage of Goworowo, and, despite the Russian counter offensive, are press ing forward to the Bug in an effort to cut the Petrograd railroad and encircle the Polish capital. In the Courland and Kovno prov | inces, only the capture of some Rus sians of the scattered Fifth army is reported. and it is believed counter attacks launched against von Buelow | by forces of Cossacks in this region have halted, at least temporarily. his sweep upon the important railway system running from back of Warsaw into the northeastern interior of Rus sia.
 In the south, also, von Mackenzen is standing still while the Russian at tacks shatter themselves upon his lines. But although these counter attacks are undoubtedly costing the Russians heavily, they are preventing the Germans and Austrians from keeping up the sweeping gains which for time, promised to bring them in- to Warsaw within few days.
 The Russians have suffered re- verse in the region of Sokal where the attacks on von Mackenzen's flank have been defeated, and they have received a severe setback, the Aus trians pressing across the Bug and releasing large numbers held there for use on other parts of the Lublin- Cholm line.
