ON PAROLE; SEEK-
 ING FULL PARDON
Morris Preston, Nominee for Socialist Labor Party for President U. s. Serving Sentence for Murder
 Working for a Pardon.

Little Rock, May 26.-Morrie Pres
 ton who received 2S,000 votes for
 President of the United States, as the nominee of the Socialist-labor party, while he was serving a term in the Nevada state prison, on charge of murder, will leave in a few days for iSt. Louis and Chicago. He is at tempting to raise funds by the sale of
 a pamphlet giving a history of his
 case, and by lectures, to pay the nec-
 essary expenses of presenting his case
 to the Nevada State Board of pardons.
 He is now on full parole, after hay. ing served seven years in prison, and is seeking a full pardon, which will
 be taken up as soon as all the members
 of the Board can be gotten together at Carson. Preston, who is a native of Memphis, and was for a number of years a newsboy on the streets of
 Little Rock, claims that he was jus tified in the homicide for which he
 was convicted, on the ground of selt defense. He also claims that he has
 been persecuted because he was active
 as a union man, being member of the Western Federation of Miners.

WILSON MAKES NEW
 DEMAND ON BRITONS
Wants to Know Meaning of Admiral tvs Notice That Neutral Vessels Must Obey Orders Regarding
 Wide Open Sea.

Washington, May 25.-The United States government has asked of Great Britain the meaning of the British admiralty notice which specifies that neutral vessels must obtain permission to take the northern route around the British Isles for Scandinavian coun- tries.
 Officials here are unable to under stand why neutral vessels should be prohibited from any of the navigation routes lying outside territorial wat CTS. The German and Austrian Am bassies here are very much interested Tn the outcome of the inquiry, because they believe it affects the rights of neutral vessels on the high seas more than does the German war zone pro- lclamation.
 In Austro-German quarters here the new notice is interpreted as a prohi. bition of large part of the high seas to neutral commerce by the laying of new British mine fields. The follow ing portion of the proclan ation is not understood here:
 British and allied vessels wishing to use north-about route should apply to customs and neutral vessels must apply for permission through their foreign representative, and failing such proceed South-about.
 Sailing vessels from Atlantic to Scandinvian ports pass westward of Ireland and St. Kilda, thence by Farce Island to destination, passing north ward by fifty miles of Shetland Is lands"
 Officials here not only wish to know why distinction is made between British and neutral vessels, why if tymile limit is placed outside the Shetland Islands and whether new mines have been placed there.

DELIBERATE ATTEMPT
 TO CRIPPLE SCHOOLS
Supt. Cook Charges that Senator Ed. mondsOn's Suit EnjOining Is suance Warrants Will Criple
 Schools for Two Years

Little Rock May 26.--State Supt. George B. Cook charges in an author ized interview that the suit brought by Senator Edmondson to enjoin the issuance of warrants on the State Treasury for State Aid to High Schools, "is a deliberate attempt to cripple the entire public school system for two years, to shorten the term in every district, to close the schools in hundreds of districts, and to cause a general repudiation of payments on school bonds, thus bringing the credit of the state into serious question:"
 The 14S schools that will be af- fected by the injunction give free tu tion to 2,500 country boys and girls and to five hundred teachers. The an- nual apportionment of school funds amounts to about one and one-third million dollars, and Supt. Cook con tends that this fund cannot be dis tributed without specific appropria- ! IlOll II lllS IOHlSilCiOI stOiN slIlNtu DN Senator Edmondson concerning the $50,000 for state aid should be held as tenable. He insists that if Senator Edmondson is a true friend of edu- cation, he should have sought to safe guard the interests of the school while in the Legislature.
 |
 "The Attorney General, and asso- ciated attorneys, the State Board of Education and the State Department of Public Instruction believe both the letter and the spirit of the law have been complied with, but it is well for the people of the state to know that not only state aid is being attacked but also to know that the entire com mon school fund is probably being placed in equal danger, if there be any danger in Senator Edmondson's suit

LITTLE ROCK LIBRARY
 INCREASING IN POPULARITY

Little Rock May 26.-The public li- brary of Little Rock is increasing in its popularity, as indicated by the fact that there was an increase of 7,017 volumes in the circulation for the months of January, February, March and April, over last year. During the first three months there was a total circulation of 1869 through the school branches. One of the new fea- lures of the library is the circulation of Harper's, Century, Scribner, and the Atlantic magazines. Some val uable books are being added to the Arkansas corner, including an ex- tremely rare volume of Nuttall's s Journal of Travels into Arkansas Territory During 1S19."

JlTNEY PROBLEM BE-
 COMING COMPLEX
Petition for Injunction Heard by Chancellor Martineau Tuesday AfternoOn-City Has Author
 ity Prescribe Regulations

Little Rock, May 26.-The Jitney Problem is becoming more complex in this city. Tie number of the five cent fare automobil -s is rapidly increa sing, notwithstanding the rigid regula. tions provided by city ordinance. Some features of this ordinance, not ably that providing for surety bon,i. are being resisted in the courts.
 It is probable also, that the street railway company will be forced, by the continued aggression of the jitney traffic, to join an issue with the jitney operators in the courts. A company has entered the field, with sixteen cars already in the service, and two of the latest model fourteen-passenge cars on the road, proposing to parallel the lines of the street railway system. This may bring about contest as to their right to become common car riers along streets where another com pany already has franchise rights.
 The Jitney Problem is just at it's beginning, and it is impossible to foretell what complications may come The petition of Little Rock taXi-cab and jitney bus operators for an in junction against the Little Rock City ordinance was heard by Chancellor Martineau Tuesday afternoon. The hearing was not concluded and the case continued until today for fur ther evidence.
 The court ruled that the city clear ly has authority to prescribe rules and regulations for the operation of au- tomobiles used as common carriers, and to provide taxes or fees for the raising of ervenues sufficient to care for the extra expense. The license fees of which complaint was made were therefore held to be valid.
 The only question left, therefore, is the reasonableness of the bond re- quired. The Little Rock ordinance prescrbes a bond of $2,000 for each car operated. Evidence was offered that this would cost 5000 year, which would be prohibitive.
 The court called attention to the fact that the record of the Fort Worth case shows that 5000 bond would cost $60 year, and he could see no reason why a similar bond should cost more than that in Little Rock. There might be some who could make no bond whatever, and such would nat urally be forced out of business.
 "The fact that some companies re- fuse to take the jitney risks shows that it is a dangerous business," said City Attorney Mehaffy, "and all the more reason why the bond should be

ASKING MERCHANTS TO AS
 SYST FARMERS IN CANNING

Commissioner Page is making ar appeal to the merchants of the state to assist every farmer who will buy a homecoming outfit to finance it's op- eration so that he can finance the waste products of his farm. These outfits cost from $10 to $25, and with them farmers are able to make canned fruits and vegetables as good as the market affords. The cash outlay to put up 1000 cans is $2750. Tomatoes and apples should yield $350 per acre, peaches $500 and sweet potatoes $375, when canned.

r:.o Insurance Agents Attend Base Rau Game-Baer Pleads for CO- Operation with Farmers Bring
 About DiversificatiOn.

1;tt,e Rock, May 26.-The Fifteenth .,nual convention of the Local Fire Ia.rrance Agents will conclude this .ftornoon. and all the visitors will .ttand the baseball game at West End Park. Jos. c. Meyers of Helena, ,ho vice-president, is presiding on ac- .ount of the illness of the president cuv Thompson, at Marianna.
 Mayor Chas. E. Taylor, in his ad- drocs of welcome, advocated state fire marshal and constitutional con- vontion which were received with ap- rlause. He also deplored the fact that the Supreme Court had nullified tba bond amendment, which would have enabled the cities to provide bet ter fire departments.
 Carl J. Baer, president of the Cham bor of Commerce, pleaded for coopera- tion with the farmers to bring about diversifcation. which he declared is an effective insurance against loss by crop failures. He said that only a small percentage of farm property is insured, some estimate not more than ten per cent, largely because it is not insurable.
 Vce-president Meyers in h$s annual address advocated: A State Fire Mar shal Law, an agency qualification act, the repeal of the policy law, the re- peal of the penalty and damages law, the establishment of an Insurance De- partment separate from all other de- partments of the state government, and the enacment of resident agents law "that will hold water" He de- clared that "an aggressive campaign should be inaugurated to bring these things to the attention of the next Legislature.

NOTE GIVES REASON
 ENTRY INTO WAR
Italian Government Details Reasons Why She Broke with Austria and Joined Triple Entente.-Aus-
 tria Severed the Treaty.

Washington, May 25.-Italy has ad- dressed to the neutral governments a lengthy communication explaining her reasons for declaring war on Austria Count Di Cellere, the Italian ambas- sador, presented the document to Sec retary Bryan today in the form of note to the United States. It reviews negotiations between Italy and Aus tria, revealing that they began imme- diately on the dispatch of Austria's S |ultimatum to Serbia. Italy claims that the action of Austria disturbs the equilibrium of the Balkans and the peace of Europe in way that vitally affected Italian interests.
 As an ally of Austria, Italy assert ed the right to have been consulted before sending of the ultimatum, the first news of which was received through the newspapers. Failing to obtain through diplomacy the satis- faction of her territorial and national aspirations, Italy announces in the note that a declaration of war was the only means of safeguarding her position in Europe. The document takes it's place in the state department archives along with the other notes and messages received at the out. break of the war from the fopeign offices of Europe, explaining the po- sitions of the respective governments and their reasons for action.
 None of these have been published although the European governments have covered substantially the same grounds in the various pamphlets de- tailing the diplomatic negotiations prior to the declarations of war.
 The text of the note says in part:
 'The Triple Alliance was essential ly defensive and designed solely to preserve the status quo of Europe That these were it's only objects and purposes is established by the letter and spirit of the treaty as well as by the intentions clearly described and set forth by the acts of the ministers who created the alliance and con- frmed and renewed it in the interests of peace which have always inspired Italian policy.
 "The treaty as long as it's intents and purposes had been loyalty inter preted and regarded, as long as it had not been used as a pretext for aggression against others greatly con- tributed to the elimination and settle ment of causes of conflict and for many years assured Europe the in- estimable benefits of peace.
 But Austria Hungary has severed the treaty by her own hands. She rejected the response of Serbia which gave to her all the satisfaction she could legitimately claim. She re- fused to listen to the conciliatory pro
