MDARMENT ACQUITTED.
Teacher Was Charged With Killing
 Student at Wag0neP. Ok.

Muskogee. Ok, June f8.-Corney P. McDarment was declared not guilty of the murder of Edgar Watts, stu dent in the Wagoner high school. by a jury in the district court here to- day. McDarment has been on trial during all of the past week and the case has been bitterly fought by some of the best known attorneys of the state.
 Watts was killed in February in the basement of the Wagoner high school, where he and Clark Moss, a friend. had been sent by McDar- ment, who was instructor in sci- ence. McDarment followed the boys 10 the basement at noon. and shortly afterward Watts was shot dead, and Moss was injured by pistol shots. The defense contended that Moss held the gun that killed Watts. and that he was injured when the pistol was discharged during a scuf- fle between McDarment and Moss
 Teachers of the state contributed to the defense of the Wagoner in structor thru the "McDarment De- fense Fund" of dollar contributions for the sake of discipline

"A HOME FOR THE LIVING.
Friends of Senator White to Pay His Debts and Give Family a Home.
Special to The Star

special to Ine star.
 Little Rock. June i9-Friends of statewide prohibition turnout the state propose to erect a monument in honor of the late State Senator T. C. White of Pine Bluff. But it will consist in a home for his family
 and the payment of his debts, rath- CT than the raising of a marble mon ument over his grave.
 This was decided upon at a con- ference of over one hundred men ard women Of Pine Bluff a few days ago. Senator White wrote the bill which is now the statewide prohi- bItion statute of Arkansas, and for several years had been an active and energetic worker in the cause of prohibition. He was superintendent of the Anti-Saioon League at the time of his death and died poor man. 1t was the suggestion of Judge F. J kirwin that funds be provided for q home for the living rather than monument for the dead" !"
 The Rev Marion Waldrip voiced the sentiment of the assembly when he said Not charity, but the just wage of the laborer is what we are giving Tom White. The entire state of Arkansas owes him this debt that his family be provided with a home and that his debts be paid"
 A committee consisting of Arthur w Mills, NJ. |. Bloom and H. C. Fox was appointed to have charge of the memorial funds, and any contribu- tions should be sent to M E. Bloom, treasurer. at Pine Bluff.

Fl Paso. June i5.-Many refugees, including four Americans. arrived in Juarez last night from Chihuahua and the district around Torreon.
 The Americans declare that fam inc conditions prevail around Torre- on. and that the civil population there would welcome American in- teryention or any other measure that would relieve them from starv- ati0n.
 The newest isue of Carranza mon- ey, they say, is absolutely without purchasing power.
 Canuto Reyes and Jose Isabel Ro- bles, former Villistas who recently made peace with the de facto g0v- ernment, are reported to have again revolted this time with number of Carranza officers.

 Little Rock. June i9-The action of the Supreme court in invalidatine the occupation tax in Hot Springs, and by implication similar tax that had been levied by the city city council of Little Rock. has made 1t necessary for the cities to look about for some other source of reve- nue. One proposition which is meeting with general favor is the passage of a liquor shipment iuspec- tion ordinance, requiring the pay ment of fee of 50 cents on each package of liquor received in the city by express or freight. A simi- lar law has been passed at Birming- ham, and is now in the courts to be tested as to its constitutionality BatesNille has passed Q similar ordi- nance, and is colleeiue under it. It has been estimated that an average of 300 packages of liquor daily are received by the express companies in Little Rock. besides the large quantity of beer that comes by freight. If this is true, an inspec- ton fee of 50 cents a package would produce considerable revenue. The advocates of the tax pbase their ar guments upon a two~f0ld ground that of revenue and further regu- latlon of the use and sale of intoxi- feants in the state r is expected that the next le1isIs lI'e -SVls enact ppW laws f0p tho rpSfpihfion nr T,ao- ulation of liquor shipments, in so far as it can be done without in- fringing upon interstate commerce

St. Louis. June i6.--Allan L. Ben- son. Socialist candidate for Presi- dent. believes that if Illinois and Missouri had laws similar to that of New York, prohibiting the use of the American flag for advertising purposes, the entire Republican and Democratic conventions would be liable to arrest.

.ULTIMATUN BY 4
 S|NALOA LEADER
Another Mexican States Hostile Att titude Toward the United States Is Virtually Declaration of
 War-The Clash Sunday.

San Diego June 20.-An ultima tum amounting practically to dec- laration of war against the United States was served on Commander Arthur G. Kavanaugh of the gun boat Annapolis by General Flores. Carranza governor of the state of Sinaloa, according to a radiogram sent from the Annapolis at Mazat- Ian and received here by Admiral Winsl0w, commander in chief of the Pacific fleet.
 Owing to the lower powered radio set of the Annapolis, difficulty was experienced in communicating with the gunboat. but enough facts have come through to indicate that Gen. eral Flores has taken hostile stand against Americans and that it was tis refusal to permit Americans Co leave Mazatlan that resulted in the clash Sunday between Blue Jackets rom the Annapolis and Mexicans claracterlzed as Carranza soldiers.
 The exact substance of his ultima tum has not yet been received.
 According to the reports received, the commander of the Annapolis ad- vised all Americans in the vicinity of Mazatlan to leave as soon as pos sible.
 A boat from the war vessel con- taining Ensign O. 0. Messing. Pay master Andrew Mewat and num- Der of blue jackets approached the wharf, Ensign Messing being under orders from Commander Kavanugh to arrange with the Mexican au- thOrities to get out all Americans. Without provocation it is reported the Mexicans opened fire on the sail DTS and Boatswain's Mate I. NJ. Laughter was seriously wounded. The Americans returned tine fire and so far as known six Mexicans were either killed or wounded.
 Earlier reports that drunken Japanese started the trouble are not borne out in reports received here. Ensign Kessings and paymaster Mowat were taken prisoners and sent to she fortress. but later were released on demands presented to Flores by Commander Kavanaugh.

ARKANSAS NATIONAL
 GUARD GETS ORDERS
Must Immediately Recruit to Full War Strength and Re Ready to Move to Fort Logan H. Roots
 -Eguipment Taken Out.
A special bulletin to The Star was received this afternoon stating that fucatan, Mexico, had today de- clared war on the United States.

YucataE is a Mexican state of an area of is,565 square miles and population of 337,020 It is at the toe of Mexico, being just about as far from the United States as it is possible to get, by land, and be in the neighboring republic
 As Yucatan probably has about the same sort of navy as that pos- sessed by Arkansas, no immediate invasion is probable. In fact. it is a good deal of a puzzle as to just what the statesmen and soldiers of alucatan will do with their declar- ation now that they have made it.

 Little Rock, June i6 --5o Johnson.
 attorney of Fort Smith and mem
 Der of the legislature from Sebss-
 tion county, has been in Little Rock
 gathering data concerning road
 building with the intention of devot- ing his energies in the 1917 legisla-
 ture to get a highway constructed across the state
 The details of the extensive road district have not as yet been worked
 out, but they do not unrayel them
 selves too slowly to efface the smile from Representative Johnson's face.
 He keeps right on smiling. even when Highway Commissioner w. B. Owen offers suggestions which
 might change the direction of the road to go north and south, instead
 Of east and west, for 1t is MT. John sons dream to have the road piI- Jared upon his home city. Fort Smith, and then extend to Memphis taking Little Rock en route. though a special dlspensatlon might be se-
 cured to take in Hot Springs and Benton.
 MT, Johnson expects to have the state materially aid in the construc- ton of the highway, though it is not necessary that itbe done by improve ment district He fav0rs making the different parts of the state compete by raising bonuses, and the one rais- ing the largest, and the best, to get the trans-state highway. Mir John son wants the road to go to Fort Smith. or start there. for that is the |center of his universe. but he would not mind it going south of the Ar kansas river all the way if the peo- pie there were willing to pay more for it than those of the north side
 He also wants convicts worked on the roads, but he l3ayes that to Dr. C. H. Brough, who promises to work out that part of the scheme
 Highway Commissioner Owen has suggested that Arkansas copy the Colorado law which works convicts on the state highways. and that they be maintained by the surplus from the automobile fund. which next year should be S95,000 He believes that the convicts should excavate for the roads and shape them, aud the people do the rest
 Mir Johnson is confident that one trans-Arkansas road will cause the building of others, with plenty of material always at hand, Arkansas will soon be the good roads state.

And it is not very apparent yet just what the grievance is. All that is worrying a few thousand school boys and girls and other folks, is that the original source of our gum supply may be cut off. It has been suggested that a substitute for it might be found in the Arkan- sas woods.
