EX-GUiRDS BATTLE
AND BOTH MAY DIE
Former State Employees Fight With
Sledge Hammer and Revolver
at Harrisburg.

Harrisburg, March doc Clark,
aged about so, and viii Tillery,
about 30, fought with a sledge ham
mer and revolver on the streets
of Harrisburg Saturday, and both
may die from wounds received.
Both men were guards on the
state convict farm at Cummins, Ark,
until few days ago, and the fight
resulted from dispute that arose
between the two men while they
were employed as guards. The ma
ture of it was not learned, as Meth
er man was able to talk after the
fight.
Tillery struck Clark with sledge
hammer, fracturing his skull and
breaking his arm With his one
good arm, Clark pulled revolver
and shot at close range His first
shot missed, but his second one
struck Tillery in the mouth. Till
cry was hurried to Paragould and
Clark to Memphis to be placed in
hospitals.
Both men had resided here for g.
long time before going to the state
farm. Clark formerly avs town
marshal.

GIRLS! DRAW A MOIST
CLOTH THROUGH HAIR
Try this. Hair gets thick, glossy,
wavy and beautiful
at once.

Immediate? - Yes, Certain?--
that's the joy of it. Your hair be-
comes light, wavy fluffy, abundand-
ant and appears as soft, lustrous and
beautiful as young girls after a
Danderine hair cleanse. Just try
this-moisten a cloth with a little
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. This will cleanse
the hair OF dust, dirt or excessive
oil, and in just a few moments you
have doubled the beauty of your hair.
A delightful surprise awaits those
whose hair has been neglected or is
scraggy, faded, dry, brittle or thin.
Besides beautifying the hair, Dan
derine dissolves every particle OF
dandruff; cleanses, purifies and in
vigorates the scalp, forever stopping
itching and falling hair, but what
will please you most will be after
few weeks use, when you see new
hair-fine and downy at first-yes
but really new hair growing all
over the scalp. If you care for pref
ty, soft hair, and lots of it, surely get
25 cent bottle of Knowlton's Dan
derine from any drug store or toilet
counter and just try it. (advt.)

HIGHWAY COMMISSION
is SHARPLY CRITICISED
Expert Auditors Unearth Expendi-
lures Tnwarranted by Law
Auto Upkeep Large.

Little Rock, Feb. 26.-The first
installment of the joint committees
report on the audit of the depart
ments of state was made in the
house and senate Thursday after
noon. covering the investigation of
the department of land, highways
and improvements. The report
makes serious charges against the
conduct OF the affairs of the depart
ment.
w. B. Owen, state land commits
sioner, said subsequently that the
report does not properly reflect con-
ditions in his department and en-
phatically denies all charges of ir-
regularity that had been made by
the committee. He said there had
been no misuse of funds and that
the rock crusher has been run at a
net profit to-the state rather than at
loss as charged by the committee
1t is charged that it has been the
custom of the department.:
ITO receive money on state ac-
counts for services and matters per-
tanning to that department contrary
to law. This disobedience of the
law absolutely destroys an account
ing and checking system, their own
books being the only evidence we
have of part of the money received
by the department. The committee
assumes that all moneys belonging
to the state have been accounted for,
but it has no way to verify this as
sumption"
department spent S1,275.75 for an
automobile, ''in defiance of law and
without precedent in our state gov
enment.'
1t is also charged that from No
vember, 1913, to January 81, 1915,
the sum of $640.31 was expended for
gasoline and $675.75 for automobile
repairs out of the rock crusher fund
This, says the committee, illus
trates the fact that automobiles are
expensive" They find further sum
of S9S6.11 for automobile expenses,
making a total of $2,303.07, (which
we leave without further comment"
1t is charged that all but $5.41
has been expended of an appropria-
ton of $1,250 in 1913 to pay the
per diem and travelling expenses of
the highway commission In addi-
ton the commission drew from an
other appropriation for the same pur
pose the sum of $3,402.67, which
they alleged was contrary to law"
Attention is called to a trip made by
members of the commission to a
good roads convention at Atlanta, at
a cost of S1,177.05. This trip,
says the report, cost the state of
Arkansas about 500 a day. What
good was done by the trip is not
stated and your committee is not
specifically advised.
1t is charged that the rock crush
er account shows a loss to the state
of S11,176,S0. Charges were also
made that during the year 1915 to
date 43' official or free automobile
tags have been issued, a clear loss
of $40 each to the state, whereas
there is no authority in law per-
hitting the issuance of free tags to
any person, anywhere, at any time.
The committee submits that such
conduct is unjustifiable, contrary to
law and gross abuse of power"
The committee says the commission
ers responsible for their issuance
should be made to pay the state the
amount thus lost.

Germany Won't Sacrifice
Herself for Sentiment

BERLIN. Feb. 7.-Germany will regret
II her naval activities bring about in
ternational complications. This IS
frankly admitted in official quarters.
But it is pointed out that she Is fight
ing with her back against the wall. and
that she cannot sacrifice her own popu-
lation to a "whim of sentiment"
Every official who is in 4 position TO
understand the position Of the German
military and naval authorities insists
that the blame for the present situation
is on Britain's shoulders, and not on
Germany's. The openly defiant attitude
OF England in refusing to permit ordi-
nary traffic with ncutrals. and the
boasts of her sea lords that Germany
is to be starved out, demand that Ger

to respect neutral shipping, it is realized
that the British position must be met

German Statement

BERLIN. Feb. : via wireless to Say
vnIcD.--Germany officially gives out the
fun text of the memorandum Of the
imperial German government concern
InG retaliation against the measures
taken tY England. in violation of inter.
national law. to stop neutral sea com
InerCc with Germany" as follows:
Since the beginning of the pres
ent war Great Britain has carried
on a mercantile warfare against
Germany in a way that deties all the
principles of international law. 1t is
true that the British government has
announced in number of DEGREES
the London declaration concernin"
naval warfare to he binding on its
naval forces but in reality she has
ronounced the declaration in its most
important particulars. although her
own delegates at the London con-
ference on naval warfare had recos-
nized its conclusions TO be valid as
International law.
"ViOlates Her Own DEGREES"
"rhe British government has nut

ditlons under which its flag may he

authorities hold however that the as
sumption of the dag of a foreign state
without it's permission Is a violation of
International law, and 'as device both
fraudulent and injurious to the hohor OF
the state whose flag is wrongfully
used
Use Sometimes Sanctioned.
The British merchant shipping law
holds that "A ship owner using the
British flag without authority subjects
his vessel to forfeiture unless the flag
is used for the purpose of escaping
capture by the enemy or by foreign
ship of war in the exercise of some
bclligcrent right
Whether the British government will
take the position that, as 1t is willing
in times of extremity 1t should be ac-
corded the same right, or what action 1t
will take on the German charges OF mis-
usc. OF neutral flags, Is prObiematical.
However, II is believed that the inquiries
set on foot by this Government az a re-
suit of the Lusitania incident will fur
nish a basis for discussing the entire
subject of the use of neutral hass ~
bclliEercnt merchantmen as charged by
the German government.

tania when it ran u" the American

Appeals to Vital Interests.

Appeals to Vital interests.
Therefore. In fact. they accept
the vital interests of belligerents as
sufficient excuse for every method
of warfare.
Germany must now appeal to
these same vital interests. to It's
regret. 1t therefore sees itself forced
to military measures aimed at Eng
land in retaliation against the Eng
lish procedure. Just as England has
designated the area between scot
land and Norway as an area OF war.
SO Germany now declares all the
waters surrounding Great Britain
and Ireland, including the entire

shipping of the enemy. For this pur-
pose, beginning February is. 1915. 1t
will endeavor to destroy every enc

thus threatens persons and cargoes.
Warns Neutrals to Keep Out.
""Neutrals are therefore warned
against further intrusting crews.
passengers and wares to such ships.
Their attention Is also called to the
fact that II Is advisable for their
ships to avoid entering this area, for
even though the German naval forces
have instructions to avoid violence
to neutral ships. In so far as they
are recognizable. in view of the mis-
use of neutral flags ordered by the
British government and the con-
tingcncies of naval warfare, their
becoming victims Of torpedoes direct
ed against enemy ships cannot al
WAYS be averted.
AT the same time it Is specifical-
ly noted that shipping north of the
Shetland Islands, In the eastern area
of the North Sea- and In a strip Of
at least thirty sea miles in width
along the Netherlands coast. Is not
imperiled.
."rhe German government gives
such an early notice of these meas
,ires that hostile, as well as neutral
ships. may have time accordingly to
adapt their plans for landing at
ports in this area of war. 1t Ia to
be expected that the neutral powers
will show no less consideration for
the vital interests Of Germany than
for those Of England, and will aid in
keeping their citizens and the prop
crtv Of the latter from this area.
This Is the more to be expected.
as 1t must, be to the interest Of the
neutral powers to see this destruc-
tive war end as soon AZ possible.
