FORMER CONTRACTORS
 WILL ASK APPROPRIATION
George w. Caldwell, Caldwell & Drake Representative in Little Rock and will Ask State to Settle With
 State Capitol Contractors

Little Rock, Jan. 25.-George W. Caldwell, of Caldwell & Drake, Indian apolis, Ind, former contractors for the Arkansas State Capitol, is here in the interest of the claim before the legislature for balance he alleges to be due, with interest, amounting to about $268,000, for work done on the building. MT. Caldwell claims that this amount has been due and accru- ling, since the passage of the Patter- son Act. in 1909, relieving the Com missioners, discharging the architect and cancelling the claimants contract.
 In the session of 1909, bill pass ed the Senate appropriating S17500O to pay such amounts as might have been found due the former contrac- tors, by a board of arbitration con- sisting of E. A. McCulloch, Jacob Trieber and John Rogers, who were selected by the State. But in the last hours of the session the bill was de- feated by vote of two or three in the House. In some form or another the claim has been before each of the two subsequent sessions and will soon it is understood, be brought again to the attention of the General Assem- |bly.
 MT. Caldwell says he is confident he can convince the most skeptical mem- Der of the Legislature that the State owes him considerable money, accrued up to the time the services of his firm were dispensed with and there are many members who believe that the controversy should be settled for all tune by the present session. The con tract was awarded Caldwell & Dral-e, the lowest bidders, in 1903, for $947,- IS46. The petitioners allege that in be- ing turned out of their contract with out an investigation, they have been Iuniustly treated, and that they should have a hearing. In a brief that has been furnished each member of the Legislature, occurs the following statement:
 "We respectfully submit that is the Legislature will pass bill appropriat- ing a sum sufficient to pay our claim when the matter shall be adiudicated in any sum found due, We hereby oh Iligate ourselves to pay any sum which a tribunal may find that We owe the State" They also agreed to submit their claims to any court of competent jurisdiction, joining with the state as 6 party, or to the joint Capitol Cont mission, and abide by their findings,
 in order to avoid long and expensive litigation.
 We realize" say the petitioners, that we are engaged in an unequal contest. We cannot sue the State, Vet the State can sue us. You cannot, under the Constitution of your State be questioned about any speech or statement you made against us. We have not voice in your deliberations. Yet we believe in a square deal, which is all we ask. The State cannot afford to rest under the charge of having repudiated her contract and refusing to submit the controversy to her own courts"

the generosity of the Spanish-spealSin

wagon
Wheel Passes Over Boys Leg
And Il Is Fractured

While waiting for his mother to re-
turn with the milk tickets, William
McCrackin, two-year,old son of Mr..
and Mrs. James s. McCrackin of East
Sugar street, had the milk wagon
back suddenly, knocking him down
and passing over his left thigh. The
bone was broken.
The accident occurred Monday af-
ternoon and was caused by the hors-
es bitched to the wagon backing up
SO as to reach some leaves of tree.
Little William was standing just be-
hind the wagon and was toppled over
when 1t moved backwards.
Mrs. McCrackin had left William
outside while she went in the house
to procure milk tickets. The injured
lad was made comfortable and DR.. s.
e. Deeley was called. The fracture
was reduced by the physician.

BIG SUBMARINES
(Tid Bits)

Hitherto, the accepted greatest pos
sible cruising radius of the largest
submarines has been 5000 miles. With
an 800-ton submarine fitted with Diesel
engines the oil consumption is esti-
mated at about 10 tons for each 1000
miles. 1t is believed that there is stor-
age capacity for so tons of oil, thus
giving cruising radius of 5000 miles.
This can be greatly increased by car
rying oil in the water ballast tanks.
1t is said, however, that Germany
has undersea craft in course Of con-
struction which can travel an even
greater distance without having to
stop to replenish at any base. In
deed, experts in this country consider
that there is really no limit to the
radius Of the modern submarine, ex-
cept in so far as the endurance of the
crew is concerned.
For it must be remembered that
there is a limit to the time that a
crew can stay on board such vessel.
The quarters, especially at the begin
ming of cruise, when all available
space is filed with stores, are serious
ly restricted. There is continuous
oozing of oil from the bulkheads and
doors throughout the ship, and the con-
ditions, as whole, are such as to tax
the endurance of any man.

WITH LAND AND NAVAL GUNS
Allies Are Hammerlng the Darda-
neIles Qualifications.

London, Oct. 11.--Heavy firing at
the Dardanelles by both land and
naval guns is reported from Mitylene
to, be still in progress. An extremely
heavy bombardment began in that re-.
gion Saturday led to the assumption
that the allies have renewed their Of
fensive. Dispatches from Athens say
that the Turkish forces at the Oar.
Ganelles are in worse straits than
ever and that the food supply has
been so sorely diminished that many
of the troops are on the verge of
starvation. 1t is probable that these
reports are somewhat exaggerated,
but there seems to be good grounds
for the statement that many deser.
tious are occurring within the Turk
ish ranks.
