Illegal Signers
 May be Prosecuted
Many Counties Waging w. r Against Adoption of Local
 Option Bill.

Investigations that have been made of the petitions for the re- peal of the State Wide Prohibi- tion law, according to the officials of the Arkansas Anti-Saloon League, indicates that fully one- half of the signatures are illegal. Not all of the verifications have been completed, but enough has been done to show that if illegal and irregular signatures were eliminated there would not be enough names left for the initia- tion of the bill. Just what course will be taken by the League will not be decided for several days yet. There is a disposition among some of the leaders to let the bill go to a vote, making public the illegal signatures to show what steps the saloon interests have taken to gain an advantage; others favor going into the courts to secure an injunction against the bill on the ground of irregularity, according to a report sent out by a Little Rock news agency.
 522 of the signers to the peti- tion flor the initiation of the local option bill in the Fort Smith district of Sebastian county are liable to prosecution, it was an- nounced at the meeting of the Anti-Saloon league Thursday night.
 It was stated that the petition that had been circulated in Se- bastian county had been care fully checked with the list of those who had paid their poll taxes and were qualified signers. and that of the l,037 signatures only 515 had paid their poll tax. In the Greenwood district the result of. the checking was a heavier percentage of unqualified being shown. Of the 240 names on the list in that district, only 57 appear on the books of the sheriff as having paid poll tax.
 It was stated that the execu- tive committee of the state Anti Saloon league had been advised of these facts and that they were gathering similar data from all of the counties of the state and . fight would probably be made to strike the illegal signatures from the petition, and that the proposed measure might not be presented to the people. It was also stated that the statutes make it an offence for a person to sign a petition unless qualified.
 No definite action has been taken in the matter of prepara- tion for the prosecution of illegal signers in Franklin county, but it is said that several have at- tached their signatures unlaw-

 adds or subtracts the figures and prints them in even rows, And no matter how fast or how long you feed figures into 1t, the machine never gets tired, never lets errors creep in through 'brain flag. It has just as lively an appetite for large num- bers as for small. As a deposit or you might deposit S10, 900, 900 tomorrow, but the machine would not have to exert itself to enter the amount. add your old balance, subtract your checks and automatically compute the correct new balance of your ac- count. The only time 1t balks is when you have an overdraft. Then it warns the operator, by the simple expedient of refusing to figure any more without the subtract" lever is held down, that your account is overdraWn, and thereupon proceeds to print a red "OD" signal opposite the amount you need to get square with the bank.
 Heretofore, in posting to the ledger 1t was necessary for a list of checks and deposits to be entered by hand in order for the bank to properly debit and credit each customers account The bookkeepers had to add each list of checks mentally, also had to add all deposits and combine their total with the customer s old balance. When this was done, the total of all checks had to be deducted from the sum of old balance and deposits to de- termine the new balance. With the machine all this is accom- plished automatically and with out any mental calculation what ever. The operator has only to depress the proper keys and touch the operating bar.
 Burroughs-posted ledgers have many advantages that even a person who is not familiar with bookkeeping will recognize. As explained. all figuring is handled mechanically, the operator be- ing obliged only to watch the amounts he is entering.
 Then in addition to the speed and economy such method affords, there is the infallible accuracy accruing to the use of the machine. The precision with which the internal mechan- ism operates insures an actitude heretofore unknown in figure work.
 The adaptability of the new machine is another feature of it's usefulness. It can be ad- justed to an infinite number of combinations. It may be used for posting to the ledger or mak- ing out depositors' statements. And figures. whether simple or complicated, are gobbled up and digested with equal facility by the unsuitable appetite of its mechanical works" There is no human being who can list and add a long column of figures at the same time with speed and with absolute accuracy, but the Burroughs does it, adv.

REFUSE TO PERMIT
 MEN TO AFFILIATE
Motion to Drop "Women" from the Corporate Name of Federation Is Defeated, as Also Plan to
 Abolish Offices.

New York, May 29.-Election of of ticers, although two days off, and the report tomorrow of the nomination committee, absorbed the attention to- night of the 10000 delegates, alter mates and visitors attending tho thirteenth biennial meeting of the General Federation of Women's clubs.
 Although it is unofficially report ed that Mrs. Josiah Helen CoWles Of California and Mrs. Samuel D. Sheath of Ohio. will be reported as the only candidates for the presi- dency, it is expected a large number of the Illinois delegates, said to be friends of Mrs. Cowles, will vote for and propose as the state candidate Mrs. George Baff of Chicago.
 Members of the board of directors, it was learned from a reliable source, oppose the entrance of dark horses" into the contest, and for this reason tomorrow's session is looked forward to with more than ordinary interest
 There will be no contests for the other offices, except that of auditor, to which Mrs. Vim. P. Harper or Seattle and Mrs. Sarah Evans of Portland, Ore, aspire.
 At the business session today, a motion was defeated to eliminate the 1 word "wome n's' from the corporate name Of the federation. in order to facilitate the entrance of mems clubs into the federation.

ITALIANS HOLD AUSIRIANS, BUT
 GERMANS GAIN
Important Events Expected in Greece, Entered by
 Bulgarians.

London, May 29.=-The Verdun re- zion and Southern Tyrol continue the theatres where the most sansuinary battles are taknig place.
 While the Italians are holding back the Austrians from further advances and inflicting heavy losses in uoun- ter attacks. their German allies have been able to make another gain in the capture of 300 metres of F'rench trenches northwest of the village of Cumieres, on the left bank of the Mouse, near Verdun.
 Fighting of great intensity around hill BOA, and between Le Mort Humme and Cumieres occurred, but except near Cumeres all the Germans vi cious onslaughts were set at naught by the vigorous counter offensive of the French. The sectors east and west of Fort Douamont have witness cd still another violent artillery duel, but no infantry attacks were launch cd. The artillery of both sides has been busy along the remainder of the front in France and Belgium.
 In the Tyrol, the Austrians in La grina valley and south of the Posna Torrent threw heavy assault against the Italian positions but the Italians repulsed the attackers with consid- erable losses on the Asiago plateau, the men of two battalions which were surrounded on Monte Mostiag by the Anstrians, were relieved by an Ital- ian regiment, and their guns brought safely away.
 Except for Patrograd report that the Germans have repeatedly dropped bombs on the railway lines to the east of Riga, no operation of moment has taken place on the Russian front
 Minor successes have been obtained by the Russians over the Turks in the Rivandouza region of the Caucasus front.
 Nothing new has come through with regard to the maneuvers of the Bull garians in Greek Macedonia where important events are expected be- cause of the Bulgarian advance into Greek territory.
 Since the commencement of the war $50 persons have been killed and 1,616 wounded in the British isles by Ctr man attacks by sea and in their air. ships, according to a statement made to parliament by the home secretary today.
 The Bulgarians now on Greek soil entente forces at Saloniki are report ed to have just been reinforced by the arrival of some 80,000 to 100000 Serbians, the remainder of King Peters army.
