ly the manner in which the inocula- ton is accomplished. The latter or simultaneous method being the better of the two if the person administering same uses utmost care. However, the latter method is not advised in terri tory where there has not been any of the vaccination demonstrations carri- ec out. The serum alone method is the one most used, and is most safe. 1t does not immunize the animals for more than ninety days. however, ac- cording to many trial tests made by experienced Field Veterinarians of the Department of Agriculture.
 There has been P field meetings C., demonstrations given in this county this season to demonstrate the meth ods of vaccination of hogs. As a re- suit of these demonstrations the writ CT feels confident that there are as many as eight men who can equipp themselves with vaccination outfits and use successfully to inoculate swine. By so doing the average nor tality in hogs in this county can be re- duced considerably in the coming years. Not only will it reduce the death rate of hogs from cholera, as 1t has done in other sections of Arkan- sas, but it will encourage the growth of the standard pure bred swine that go to build up the pork production of any given section of the Southern States. The one main point in vacci- nation of hogs, is to be careful to treat them before the disease has ad- vanced in the herds. Why? Because it is not recommended as a cure, but as a preventive measure.
 The other phase of the livestock work carried on in the county, is thar of organizing the cattle dipping vats, and putting them in for the purpose of dipping cattle. There has been 5 such vats organized in this county There are two vats in the county that are not in use at the present date They are not constructed according to the latest models of concrete stock dipping vats. The dipping problem is the next thing to take up in the demonstration work for this county Under the quarantine regulations all cattle must be dipped twice before they can be shipped into any territory above the Federal Quarantine lines.

 The Silo Proposition.
 There is more interest being mani- fested toward building of the stave silo in this county. At present there arc four of such silos set up on the diff ferent farms. There will be more put up later. They are proving safe economic, practical storage tank for feeds. Corn and sorghum mixtures are proving the best two combinations that has been tried in this state, all things being considered.
 Under the influence of the demon- stration work of the state of Arkansas there has been an increased acreage planted to diversified crops this sea son. With the shortage in crops. which prevailed in 1914 in this state. there was production of 42 million bushels of corn, in 1914. This year the records show yield of 61 million bushels of corn, or an increase of 1a million bushels. I sincerely believe Little River county has made some of this increased millions of bushels of corn.
 The County Agent has, according to field diary reports, which is daily record of all activities carried on in the work, travelled 1850 miles by team, and approximately 2,OOO miles by rail- road during the years work in the county.

Plan to Safeguard
Amendments Lost

From a star Correspondent Of The Tribunel
Albany, Aug. 27.-Despite a stubborn
fight, led by Deputy Attorney General
Harold j. Human, of Albany, the Con-
stitutional Convention voted down pro-
posals to-day intended to prevent consti-
tutional amendments going by default.
Mr.. Hinman, who was aided by Tax Com
missioner Martin SAKE, and II. Leroy
Austin, urged the adoption of clause
providing that future amendments
should be adopted only if the total
number of votes cast for and against 1t
equal two-thirds of the aggregate vote
cast for Assemblymen. At present a
ma ority of the votes cast decides the
fate OF an amendment, regardless of
what percentage the vote cast is to the
numerical strength of the electorate.
The article under discussion was a
substitute for Article IA, which deals
with future amendments to the constl-
tuition. and prescrbes the manner in
which they shall be made.
Louis Marshall, of New York, rallied
to the defence of Mr.. Humans sugges-
tion and brought to his aid letter
from Joseph II. Choate. who presided
at the last convention. Mr.. Choate
SalO ludt al ItdSl % per cent o. the 10
tai voting strength of the state should

An amendment by George w Wicker
sham provides that the next Constitu-
tional Convention shall not be called
until 1885 1t will be submitted to the
people as a separate measure. This was
offered so that if the work of the con-
vention is voted down next fall there
shall be no convention in 1917. in the
event of the ratification of Mr.. Wicker
Sham's separate proposal

MUST ELECT BOROUGH HEAD
CORPORATION Counsel Says Richmond
Has to Vote for President.

A successor to Borough President
Charles J. Mccormack, Of Richmond,
must be elected next November. This
was the opinion of Acting Corporation
Counsel Hahlo handed to President
BOYLE. of the Board of Elections, yes
terday.
Mr.. Hahlo pointed out that the char
ter states that the Board of Aldermen
shall consist of an alderman elected
from each aldermanic district and the
five borough presidents, which makes
the latter regular members of the
boards. He also holds that the bor-
ough presidents having the right to
vote on reapportionment, are consti-
tutional officers.
He stated, however, that there was
room for a reasonable doubt and sug-
gested it would be well to have ju-
dicial determination of the question
This could be done by mandamus di-
rected against the Board of Elections
directing it TO issue the notice for the
election without meLt:on Of the bor-
ough president. :.
Borough President Van Name. at his
home at Mariners Harbor. said last
night that he disagreed with Mr..
Hahlo's finding. but would abide by 1t
rather than cause trouble.

measure through" said Mr.. Quigg. IL
have read that NJ. .Stimson said the
of'ceholders could not beat this bill;
that if Mr.. Root came before the con-
vcntion and repeated what he SAID IN
Mr.. Tanners committee he would sweep
the convention off its feet. That sug-
restion of pressure is bad When the
reople understand it it will make trou-
bic for your constitution.
Wickersham Defends Ballot Bill.
Mr.. Quigg said the object of the pro
posal was 70 build up a great political
machine for the Governor. Mr.. Wick
ersham said Mr.. Quigg did not interpret
the sentiments of the people correctly,
and added that he was better able TO
interpret them than Mr.. Quigg.
This proposal" said Mr.. Wicker
sham. enables the state TO deal scien-
tifically and courageously with an un-,
scientific, eXtravagant. expensive and
wasteful system of government"
Answering the objection that the pro-
Dosal would place too much power IN
the Governor and that it might be
abused, Mr. Wickersham said
you cannot build institutions on a
distrust of power. There need be no
fear of an abuse of power when 1t is
properly safeguar'oA by impeachment
and otherwise. as It here"
Senator Robert +. Wagner, who was
expected by the reactionaries TO fight
the BILL praised it, but wanted some
amendments made, most of which had
been suggested by Assemblyman Smith.
Mr.. Tanner will probably accept the
amendments offered by the Democrats.
His agreeableness to do this and the
announced intention of Mr.. Smith as
spokesman for the Tammany Democrats
to accept the proposal with qualifica-
lions have left the standpatters high
and dry, however. Ray B. Smith, of
Syracuse; Russell Virgins, of Middle
town, and other reactionaries will night
the proposal to the last ditch. Just
where William Barnes stands no one
is certain. He has characterized the
Tanner proposal as means of making
the Governor an autocrat Since then
he has hedged when asked where he
stood. But Mr.. Tanner has a distin-
gushed following among the Republi-
cans. which numbers Elihu Root. George
W. Wickersham. Henry l.. Stimson and
others of the so-called federal" crowd.

LUDLOW HANGAR
AWAITS ATWATER
Bankrupt Aviator to Pay
$4,000 or Join Jail
Card Parties.
TALE OF JAP YENS
STARTED TROUBLE
Referee Acts on Rumored Sue
cess of Mrs. Platt's Husbands
Exhibits in East.

William B. Atwater, the 'cross-coun-
try aviator and the fourth husband OF
Lillian Plat Atwater, widow Of Sena-
tor Thomas c. Plat, must pay $4,000
to Jacob A. Decker, his trustee in
bankruptcy, before September or join
the pinochle players of Ludlow Street
Jail.
This was the decision of Judge May
err in the Federal District Court yes
terday, after characterizing Atwater's
testimony about his assets as defiant,
unsatisfactory and not worthy Of be-
lief"
Before becoming an aviator Atwater
owned livery stable in Central Val
ley, n. Y. Here he met Mrs. Plat,
and frequently took her driving. One
day in November, 1911, they were mar
ried at Suffern, n. Y, and set out for
trip around the world, Atwater Civ
ing aviation exhibits on the way. 1t
is alleged he received between $4,000
and 100000. In Japan, besides &C
cumulating a goodly stack of yen, he
was decorated by the Emperor with
the Order of the Rising Sun.
In June, 1914, shortly after his re-
turn, Atwater filed a petition in bank
ruptcy, giving his liabilities as s4,SS7
and his assets as 1882. Among his
creditors he named his wife and the
Curtiss Company.
No particular attention was paid to
this petition until the good ladies of
Central Valley, n. Y, began to whis-
per on their back .:orches tales of the
great wealth Atwater had amassed in
the Orient. 1t was rumored he had
flashed $4,000 on one occasion, an item
of his assets which, it is said. he had
overlooked, somehow, in his petition.
Walter c. Anthony, of Newburgh,
referee in bankruptcy, heard this ru-
NOR and ordered Atwater to pay over
the $4,000. He ignored the ruling, and
last November Federal Judge Hough
found him guilty of contempt of court.
Atwater was in South Carolina at the
time, but when he returned on July
II he surrendered himself to the
United States marshal, and was paroled
in the custody of his counsel, Henry
A. Wise, of 10 William Street. pend
ing a motion to vacate Judge Hough 5
order. Wise was directed yesterday
to produce Atwater in the marshaPs
Office on August 80.
According to Atwater's testimony
before United States Commissioners
Tallman, he is still in a poverty
stricken condition. He produced 81
in American money and said his wife
had given him that. His bank account,
he said, was SO cents, and his interest
in his grandfather's estate, tritilng at
hest was contingent on his OUTLYING

health.
Atwater said his only means Of earn

This proposal carries out these pledges.
If you don't keep them you will war

gneer. State Highway Commissioner,
State Superintendent of Public Works
and State Architect, under the head
of Superintendent Of Public Works.
half Of the employees of these depart
ments could be dispensed with.
The greatest objection offered by
Mr.. Smith to the bill was that in the
consolidation of the 1872 state depart
ments into fifteen, provision was made
for their removal by the Governor at
his discretion, but their appointment
could be made by him only with the
advice and consent of the Senate.
Criticises Office of Accounts.
Mr.. Smith also criticised the Office
of Commissioner of Accounts, whose
duties would be those of an investiga-
tor and examining auditor He said
that this office should be Independent
of the Governor, and to make it so he
would offer an amendment making the
officer an appointee of the Legislature,
to be chosen by it in joint session for
a period of six or ten years, and so
hedged around with safeguards against
summary removal that he could be in
dependent of every one.
Opposition to the short ballot pro-
posal dwindled as the night session
drew to a close. The Tammany men,
who had looked for a real fight on the
part of the Brooklyn Republicans, in
their anger charged that they were won
over to the Tanner proposal by the
committees surrender to Controller
