DAVIS FORCES in
ARKANSAS DIVIDE
HODGES LEAD CONCEDED
MRAE WILL OPEN HEADOUAR
TIERS AND BEGIN STRENU-
GUS CAMPAIGN SOON.

Little Rock, Jan. With the ad-
vent OF the new year politics prom
lses to be the leading attraction in
Arkansas for the next three months
at least. The lineup in the guber-
Material contest is fast assuming de-
finite proportions, and reports of all
kinds of combinations among the va
rious candidates for state offices can
be heard on all sides At the present
writing it is the field against Earle
w. Hodges, who seems to have the
support of leading politicians. Wal
lace Davis, son of the late Senator
jeff Davis, Penitentiary Commissions
er Thai Bradsher and Frank Pace,
three of the late senator's chief lieu
tenants, announced yesterday that
they will support Dr. C. H. Brough.
This means a division in the Davis
forces, the first time in the past Is
years that this faction of the Arkan-
sas Democracy has not presented a
united front in the selection of guber-
material candidates.
7. c. McRae announced last night,
before leaving for Prescott to spend
New Years with his family, that he
would open headquarters the latter
part of next week, and named the
men who would be in charge of his
campaign. Mr. McRae says he ex-
poets to take the field, speaking at
many points in the state, shortly
after he opens his headquarters The
four candidates will meet in Little
Rock next week, according to agree
ment, to decide if joint discussions
shall be held If no agreement can
be reached, each candidate will play
his own game on the stump during
the remainder of the campaign. 1t
is generally believed, however, that
the candidates will agree upon at
least a few appointments to appear
in joint discussions.
Eastern Arkansas promises to play
an important part in the campaign
SO far as the political leaders are
concerned. Many of the leaders have
already joined the Hodges forces and
will take an active part in looking
after his interests.

NO OBJECTION TO.
NEW LICENSE TAX

Little Rock. Jan. 1.-The new IL
cense ordinances become effective in
Little Rock today, and license fees
are to be collected upon every kind of
business where goods are kept for
sale or exchange. There have also
been slight raises in The license fees
that have heretofore prevailed. No
opposition is being expressed to the
payment of these licenses, as all bust
ness men realize that it is the most
equitable and feasible manner to pro-
vide revenue to take the place of
that which is lost on account of the
abolishment of the saloons.

JOHN CUDOY CHOSEN
FOR NAVAL TRAINING

John Cuddy, to use his own Ian
guage, "lasted mighty quick" at the
University of Nevada. When he left
for college two weeks ago he was
not expected back until the semester
closed, but he dropped off No "a this
morning. This does not mean that
he failed to matriculate or went on
some escapade that caused him to
unwillingly depart.
As matter of fact he had in his
pocket the appointment to Annapolis.
He was originally an alternate for
the position in the training school
for the navy, but his principal failed
to qualify because of defective eye
sight. 1t is now up to Cuddy to gain
the place. The examination will take
place in February and is very severe
but the young man is physically fl
and his record in the Tonopat
schools is almost a convincing one
He will, after brief visit with his
parents, go to San Francisco an,
enter coaching school.

MIDWAY CONSOLIDATED
IN EXCELLENT SHAPE

No change worthy of note has
taken place in the past few days in
the face of the west drift from the
south crosscut ON the eighth level of
the Midway Consolidated AS will be
recalled by readers of the recent re-
port on the property in the Bonanza,
the ore is not making on the trend
of the mammoth ledge, but in the
breaks that cut the ledge at about
half of right angle, trending north
west and southeast. A number of
breaks have already been encoun-
tered and another is due with almost
any round Of shots.
The bin now contains about 20
tons of ore. No attempt will be
made to take out tonnage until the
air connection is completed. A sur.
vey has been finished and il is ex.
pected that within two weeks the
west drift will have encountered the
old Midway workings. This will
establish circulation of air and will
enable resumption of work on the
1400 level, where strong ledge was
encountered just before the shut
down occurred, which was mainly
due to the inflow of water. That has
been relieved, by the deepening of the
| Victor shaft.

FREE TEXT BOOKS
WILL Be SUPPLIED

Because of the financial assistance
given the Tonopah high school by the
new county high school tax. the board
of school trustees feel that this year
for the first time in the history of
the district the free text book privi-
lege can be extended to the pupils of
the high school. Accordingly, they
have determined that no pupil shall
find it a hardship to continue the
work of the high school because of
the expense necessarily incident to
the purchase Of text books each year.
New books have been purchased by
the district and will be furnished to
all pupils free of charge The same
rules regarding the use of high school
text books will apply as in the grades.
Pupils will be supplied with books
upon entering school for the term;
the books thus supplied will be
charged to the parents at list price;
if the books are returned In good
condition, necessary wear excepted,
the books will be considered a receipt
for the amount charged against the
parents; books not returned or un
necessarily marred will be considered
as sold to the pupil at the prices
charged on his card. Tonopah is GER.

NEW NEUTRALITY
LAWS DESIRED

ny Associated Press.)
NEW LONDON, Conn, Sept. 81
Revision of American neutrality laws,
with view OF discouraging Ameri-
cans from participating in Mexican
fractional conflicts, was suggested at
the conference of the Mexican Ameri.
can joint commission today. 1t was
indicated that Mexico would be able
to deal more effectively with rebels
and ordinary bands of outlaws if the
neutrality laws were amended in such
manner as to make it an offense for
an American citizen to participate in
any way In a movement against d
government with which the United
States Is at peace.

really remarkable that the instructors
in these departments have succeeded
in doing good work under the condi-
tons which obtain in the school.
''If it is at all feasible an athletic
field should be secured near the
school building.
THE high school library should be
housed in the study room and placed
in charge of faculty librarian and
student assistants"
Evidently the school authorities of
Tonopah are at all times fully alive
to the needs OF the schools, for, it is
interesting to note. with but one
exception every recommendation now
made by the high school inspector for
the improvement of the conditions
that make for efficiency applies to
what is now an accomplished fact
The one exception is the providing
of an athletic field near the high
school. and that as every one knows.
is not feasible. The school authori-
ties confidently expect the next report
Of the high school inspector to indi-
cate so per cent increase in the
efficiency of the special departments
as result of the improvements made
during the past summer.
