MONTGOMERY ELECTION COM MISSION CANVASS COUNTY
 SEAT VOTE.
l,065 VOTES FOR REMOVAL
It Is Contended By Mount Ida That the 1s1 Voters in the Two Town ships of Fir and Laverna Should
 Be Counted Against Wombe.
Won1ble.

" OliiDlC-- The county election commissioners met and canvassed the vote on county seat removal, and the result was l. 065 votes for Womble and for removal No elections were held in Laverna and Fir townships, where 181 votes reside. In the 22 townships where elections were held there is total of 2,087 voters, including those who have died or removed since they paid poll tax. Hence Womble again carried the election in the townships where eIec- tions were held.
 Because there is a total of 2,26S voters on the list, it is the contention of Mount Ida that Womble lost, be- cause the law says that change and the candidate town must get major ity of the votes resigtered on the list, notwithstanding a considerable num- Der of those may be dead or removed from the county; and it is also con- tended by Mount Ida that the 181 voters in the two townships of Fir and Laverna should all be counted as against removal.
 The commissioners contented them selves with canvassing the votes as laid before them, announced the to- tals and adjourned.

RECEIVES COMPLAINT FROM 13 MEN SENT TO HARTFORD

EMPLOYMENT BUREAU DENIES
Creation of Free Bureau to Remedy the Condition Is Planned By the Commissioner of
 Laoor.
Little Rock

LltLle hOCK.- Complaints Of abuse of men by em- ployment agencies are to cause off ial Investigations, according to J. C. Clary, commissioner of labor, who re- to Hartford by the Little Rock Elm plcyment Bureau, 301 East Markham street. The men claimed they paid $1 each to the bureau for jobs at Hart ford, but that when they got to Hart ford there was no work for them and they left without money or food, and were unable to return to Little Rock.
 W. D. Lawler, manager of the bu- reau, denied the men had paid him, saying the $1 fee was to be deducted from their first pay, and further de- clared that if there had been no work for them the Rock Island rail- road, for whom they were to work should have furnished them transpor- stion back to Little Rock. B. l. Nc Kinley, deputy commissioner of labor, questioned MT. Lawler. He is continu- ing the investigation.
 The men were signed up for work on the Rock Island, in the vicinity of Hartford, and were sent to Hartford. James Sheldrick, one of the men, wrote to MT. Clary declaring the men had been left stranded at Hartford. Efforts to get return transportation when they could not find work were futile, he said

Plans for state fair for 1917 and

Plans for state fair for 1917 and a central state fair for 1916 to take the place of the Pulaski county fair in Little Rock, were made at a meet ing at the Hotel Marion Fifty bank CTS, merchants and other business men, including officers and directors of the Pulaski County Fair Associa- tion, attended.
 The meeting was called by com mittee of directors of the County Fair Association appointed few weeks ago by County Judge Joe Asher, president of the county asso- citation, to ascertain the feasibility of a state fair in Little Rock.
 The committees report included data secured from the Texas, Oklano- ma and Louisiana State Fair Asso- citations. The reports said that the fairs at Dallas, Oklahoma City and Shreveport are more than self-susta1n, ing. However. they are conducted on a larger scale than would be the pro- posed Arkansas state fair for a few years at least
 All the speakers agreed that there is not sufficient time to prepare for a state fair in 1916, but favored the proposed state fair and recommend ed that preparations begin immediate ly for the 1917 state fair. The chair man was authorized to appoint com, mittee of Is to begin thls work and also to plan the 1916 fair
 The fair proposed for next year would be larger than the county fair The committee to be appointed by MT Auten also will seek to liquidate the ir rdebtedness of the County Fair As sociation, probably by securing suD- scriptions from Little Rock and Pu- laski county business men.
