Arkansas Supreme Court Approves
Statewide Prohibition Act.

LITTLE ROCK. Ark. June 20.-The
Arkansas supreme court for the second
time has sustained the validity of the
state wide prohibition act. The case
was that of Charles Miller Of Lafayette
county, who was convicted OF selling
liquor and sentenced to serve one year
in the penitentiary, the only penalty
permissible under the law. The ap-
peal alleged that the prohibition law
is unconstitutional. because it denies
to the court the right to suspend
sentence after conviction. The SUI
preme court yesterday held that the
legislature had the right to enact such
q law because there is no provision
in tho state constitution forbiddinS
such legislation.

a statement made today by Capt Ed

sixty soldiers and civilians. arrived on
the scene OF action early this morning
and set about the task of getting
things in shape.
Capt. Nevils went on to explain his
remark with the statement that the
work under his supervision involves
merely the laying out of the camping
struction of trenches, the making OF
necessary frame structures and SO
forth. The actual work of making 8

other features which will go to pro-

of the troops-will devolve upon the

Twenty-Eight Units.
According to information gained at
the grounds, twenty eight separate
units will be provided for. each re-
quiring a separate mess shack" cook
tent and sanitary trench. The greater
part of the equipment of the camp was
brought to the grounds during the
course Of the morning in motor trucks
loaned by or rented from some of the
principal business firms of the city.
Almost in the shadow Of the three
great toyers of the Arlington wireless
station these were piled in perfect or

Of the work. II the present rate Is

Question Considered in Cabinet.

The cabinet today gave serious con-
sideration to the question of the atti-
tude to be taken toward government
clerks who are members of the National
Guard. particularly in the District, and
who are compelled to answer to the call
Of the President for service in Mexico
or on the border.
No definite agreement was reached,
but 1t was practically agreed that cab
met officers will consider the matter
from all sides and will work out plan
Of relief.
There was an informal but unanimous
understanding that government clerks
who go away with the District and
other regiments and units will not lose
their positions upon their return, but
will be protected. The President, 1T is
stated. let 1t be known that he did not
want any man to lose his place because
Of his military connections.
Matter Of Salary a Problem.
The most serious problem. however,
10 that of the salaries Of men having
dependents to care for in their absence
In Mexico. and II was suggested at the
cabinet meeting that legislation be
submitted to Congress directing the
payment Of at least SO per cent Of the
salaries Of those who have been called
forward such a plan. The idea advanced
by him Is that the clerks Of the In
terror Department who do not 70 to
Mexico will work overtime to take care
Of the duties Of the absent clerks, and
| that Congress ought to authorize the
payment Of a goodly portion Of their
| salaries to their families.
Several urgent cases have already been
presented to the White House One man,
clerk Of the Post Once Department,
has a wife and baby with others de,
| pendent on him. His salary is 81 200 a
year. The dependent ones will be with

His wife was formerly a government
clerk and he has asked that an execu-
permitting his wife TO do his work while
he Is away. So far all the cases taken
| to the White House have bsen referred
4 to the proper departments for action. but
the fact that the President will stand by
the clerks will be sufficient. 1t was be-
lieved this afternoon. to guarantee some
| sort OF an arrangement that will bring
relief.
