 Little Rock, April 20. Complete eturns from all counties, whica give thesehoice of the people for the leg islative session of 1917, disclose some interesting facts. The first of these is the comparatively few members of the House to be re- turned. There are only fourteen members of the 1915 session that will serve next year, but as sixteen members of former sessions sue ceeded in convincing voters they would be of material assistance in country salvation, there will still be quite a nucleus from which a Speaker may be chosen. The new memebrs are not so modest as those Of former sessions in this respect, for already a number of those who haye not had previous experience, are letting it be known that they will accept the Speakeeship f 1t k thrust upon them
 The intcre5 in tie state If igl7 was apparently not so keen over the state. fssr three the newly elected members had no opposition. Nine of the recently elected senators have had previous experience in law making in the house. Twenty two members of the senate arc law yers, one is physician, and one Is preacher.
 The house shows in it's list several new members who have previously served in the senate
 It has been intimated that the at. titude of members in 1915 on the Sawyer racing bill had considerable to do with the failure of many to return. This $ hardly possible, though of the fourteen who come back, only three voted in favor of the bill. 1t is also claimed that the ballot of others on the statewide prohibition bill also caused many to be among the missing in 1917. Those who circulate the report allege that the people resent the passage of the bill, but most of those who come back voted for the bill, as well as against the racing measure.
 It has always been that the house was friendly to the governor. The last session came nearer to seeing a break Between the executive chamber and the house, than at any previous session, and this was due largely to Interest in the racing bill. The senate is often cross ways with the governor, but check of the 1917 members shows Governor c. H. Brough will have good majority who vii endeavor to carry out his policies.
 Now that the members of the 1917 General Assembly, are safelv nnrni-

Unless delegates from other states start something before they get in action, Democrats from Arkansas win come into the limelieht at the big national convention in St. Louis with fight on the present method of selecting delegates to the pow WOW of party leaders.
 Heretofore the delegates have been selected by the State Dem- ocfatie convention, and the district conventions. This year those who deSsre to be recJgnizcG an the floor of the Democratic National Conven- ton were forced to make a fight for the honor, and conduct a regular political campaign to secure it, This is distasteful to the men who usu- ally represent Arkansas in such af- fairs and as a.result neither of the United States Senators will wear delegate badges at the convention.
 A return to the old system is all they ask--the election of a National Committeeman and other delegates by the state convention. The con- vention is usually controlled by the successful Democratic candidate for governor. and his henchmen have always, heretofore, been seated among the mighty at the convention which names Presidents.

Dropping 11,0O0 Feet
 in Twenty Minutes
When Shell Gut Cable Holding Cap tive Balloon, French Officers Jumped with Parachute.

Paris, April Slby main.- oi the thrilling adventures of the Yer dun fighting was the escape from capture or death of young lieu tenant whose captive balloon was set adrift when a shell severed the steel cable connecting him with the earth. Already mentioned in the cable dispatches, the complete story from the Paris Journal is interest | ing:
 Yesterday afternoon a report ran through the French lines that a sausage balloon was off. Thous- ands of anxious eyes were directed toward the little speck which grew fainter and fainter in the distance as the southerly wind waited it toward the German positions. Four aeroplanes at once started i'll the vain hope of rendering assistance, but everyone felt that the observer was doomed Minutes passed. The balloon kept rising Soldiers forgot to fire, the suspense was terrible.
 As His Comrades Saw It.
 Then suddenly tiny grey speck was seen to part from the bal loon, which shot up a thousand feet, but instead of falling to the earth the speck seemed to be pulled up sharp in midair. At last with the aid of glasses, observers saw that the speek was a human body sus- pended from a parachute. A mighty cheer rose as the truth was realized, but a full ten minutes of suspense lasted as the parachute with it's human freight slowly de- seconded, and finally landed close to the French lines"
 The young lieutenant thus de- scribed his experience: The first intimation that something had gone wrong was when I felt shock. I thought the telephone cable had parted. All at once became aware that the other balloons were grow ing smaller, and I grasped the fact that was adrift A glance at my barometer told me 1 was already five thousand feet up. I tried to pull the cord working the hydrogen automatic control. but it had be- come damned and refused to work tried to climb to it but failed.

 Then I feared I was lost. My first thought was to destroy my pa- pers, then l thought of blowing out my brains 10 avoid falling into the hands of the Germans. Then. how ever, came inspiration. Why not try the parachute? had to be quick for was now il,000 feet up.
