What about those new street signs. dear
city fathers? 1t il necessary that our
streets be marked. and many of the old
signs either have disappeared or have be-
come so badly damaged as to be almost
useless-to say nothing of their unattrac-
tive appearance. The new ornamental
lamp posts would seem almost to demand
new signs.

OF COURSE, ZAPATA'S WILLING.

General Zapata has announced his
willingness to join in a convention for
the establishment of peace in Mexico
in accordance with the plan submitted
by the Pan-American mediators. In
all of the revolutionary troubles
which have rent the sister republic
Zapata has been the most independent
and uncompromising of the fractional
leaders. His acceptance of the propo-
sition of the mediators will lend con-
siderable political strength to it in the
southern portion OF the republic
Houston Post.
Nonsense! Zapata, with his bunch OF
Indian followers, controls only part of the
smallest state in the Mexican union. His
influence would not be much greater than
that of a ward heller in a Houston election
He is already whipped by Carranza, and
naturally would be tickled TO death to have
the chance Ia vote against him in the peace
conference proposed by the Pan-American
mediators. OF course, Zapata is willing to
60 into the proposed conference. He has
nothing TO lose by it. He is already a loser.

CLEVER CROOK
 VISITS THE CITY
Obtains Here Blank Form, Which He Uses in Little
 Rock for Getting S30.

mat clever crock had been at work YVES diseovereI here yesterday morning when the Citizens bank re- celEed from the Mercantile Trust con- pany of Little Rock an order for S90, made payable to w. Crane. and pur- porting to have been issued by the FacNn&toWn Realty company of this city. Officials at the Citizens bank immediately perceived that the sigma lures Of r. o. Byrd, treasurer and F.. B. bloom, secretary, were forged for that part of the scheme was crude work. The crock did not even get the presidents name on the check. using "a flctltl2us name for that of Walter Hudson, president Of the realty com pany. %seR
 The clever pari of the crime was in obtaining one of the private check forms used by the Pachingtown Realty company. Except that the fraudulent order did not contain on the reverse printing that appears on the regular forms, it was similar in every way, even to the numbering There was conjecture as to how the blank was obtained, and the mystery deepened when it was found that the check bearing the same number as the fraudulent instrument W9s still in the check-book in Secretary Bloom safe.
 Investigation revealed that a we'll dressed stranger appeared in the job department of The Graphic Monday and made inquiries about letlerheads Samples were exhibited. and it is sur missed that while pretending to exam inc these he secured the check form which he used in Little Rock the next day. During Monday, Mr Byrd was asked over the telephone for the names of the realty company's presi- dent, treasurer and secretary. The seeker of this information said, sNever mind who it is," when MT. Byrd in- quired as to his questioner's identity.
 It is believed that the caller at the printing establishment, Mr. Byrds in tervieWer and the man who presented the check to the Little Rock bank $ one and the same individual. This surmise is strengthened by an article that appeared in printing trade jour- nals several weeks ago, warning against smooth individual who se- cured blank check forms from among samples while ostensibly pretending to select letterhead form.
 Neither the Citizens bank nor the Paekingtcwn Realty company loses by the forgery.

 The Greenhouse bill was attacked from several quarters. Senator Duty was the first to call attention to is provisions, attacking the effort to set aside the wishes of the people who had only a few months ago adopted this amendment to the constitution by an over whe]ming majority. Sena tor Duty likewise claimed that the letting of the printing on competitive bids would increase the cost. He fav ored the placing of the contracts iii the hands of the state printing Doarn and taking them out of the hands ci the secretary of state.
 Senator Greenhouse spoke ill favor of his bill, declaring that the State Press association had developed into a great political factor and alleged there are interests in it which are endeavoring to control officers, anl to have charge of the placing of the printing. He further stated that cer tain officers are using their power, granted under this act, to further themselves politically
 The constitutionalty of the Greenhouse bill, attacked by Senator Duty, was featured by Senator Fut- rell, and as several of the speakers had declared they were in favor Hi the most prominent features of the bill, if the portion requiring the let ting Of contracts under competitive, bids was eliminated, Senator Great house asked that the bill be placed back on it's second reading Tor amendment, and referred to the judi Ciary committee, which request was granted.

 These officials say it was not the

 Tr.nce in the matter. They ir:imated
 fnr,her that President 'Wilsor did not think the United States required the consent of the allied nations to make ' tbo nurchases if it should be decided

 The present disposition of the state |donartment, it was said, is to stand Inv the owner of the Dacia and to 1lp- hold all purchases of a like nature,
