BACK RENT DUE
DESPITE FLOODS

Judgment for the sum of $1,S00,
back rental on the land lying along
the Arkansas river, known as the
Elmwood place, was rendered in
chancery court yesterday in favor of
c. H. Winfrey, c. H. Cady and G. c..
Cady, plaintiffs. The land was rent
ed by them to F. A. Jarvis and others
about two years ago and in the high
water of the following year large
portion of the plantation was inur-
dated aad rendered unfit for cultiva-
ton TIT season. The tenants refus-
ed payment of the rentals, alleging
that the land was misrepresented to
them and that larger portion of it
was subject to overflow than had
been represented. By decree of the
court, they must pay the back rent,
with accrued interest.

Miss Gordon Consistent.

At the recent National Suffrage con-
vention, Miss Kate Gordon of Louisi-
ana was very emphatic in her stand
for woman suffrage by states rights
method. Notwithstanding her very
positive advocacy, several newspapers
have reported her as endorsing fed
eral amendment for votes for women.
No woman in the south has stood SO
firmly and unalterably for amend
ments to state constitutions, which will
give the vote to women of every sec.
tion upon the same terms now accord
ed to men. This position of Miss Cor
don is not recent one, but has been
iterated and reiterated during the
many years Of her public utterances
in behalf of the enfranchisement of
women. Twelve states have already
extended the vote to their women. This
extension has been in conformity with
the requirements for electors made by
the respective states, and was in no
sense descriptive of constitutional pro-
visions regarding the ballot. 1t has
meant the inclusion of the women who
could meet the stipulations for the
states voters. To report Miss Gordon
as "believing with all my heart in a
federal amendment for women suf-
frage," is misleading to her states
rights suffrage companions, and mis-
representative of her consistency and
interity in promulgating states rights
southern doctrine.

LONDON'S STORY
IS CONFIRMED BY
OLDER Writings

If Jack London made any mistakes
in his storyaof Kalakaua's attempt to
marry Princess >Kaiulani to son OF
the Mikado, published in the Septem-
Der Cosmopolitan, it is not his fault
but that of VIM. d. Armstrong. a
member of the king cabinet and au-
thor of Around the World With a
King" according to ]. F. Haley, col
lector Of internal revenue. He point
ed to the beginning of Chapter VIII of
the book, headed THE King Proposes
Matrimonial Alliance Between the
Royal Families of Japan and Hawaii
The Plan Fails when a. visitor
called this morning and read the first
page. 1t tells the story as London
has told it, but in simpler language.
This was only published IL years
ago." said Haley, glancing at the inn
print Il don't see how the keeper of
the archives of the territory could
have overlooked it, yet overlooked it
he must have, for he says the facts
he presents have never been publish
ed before. His story is that the king
wrote to Japan in the middle SOS pro-
posing the alliance. Armstrong was
with Kalakaua in Japan in 1881 and
tells the story as London has told it.
The king suddenly and rather mystic
ricusly left our palace in company
with the emperor's chamberlain Arm
strong says. He recites that he after
wards learned Kalakaua proposed an
alliance of the royal houses to the
emperor. that he asked for time to
consider it as it involved a startling
departure from Japanese traditions.
On the return of the king to Ha,
waii the imperial chamberlain of the
emperor, appeared in Honolulu on
secret mission He carried a letter
from the emperor declining the alli-
ance. He would not aid in any
scheme which impaired the sphere
of American influence over Hawaii :"
That is where London got his in
formation. The book is in the public
library. .:..==.:

Hiss Walker was In Ceylon when

4nterned in Australia, which is now
the big central intern camp in the
Pacific. They we're released because
of infirmities.
Both said that they were treated
kindly at the camp, food was excel

were permitted. As in the intern
camp in Hongkong the men and wo-

certain days husbands could visit
