DIR. BLEDsOE BEFORE BOARD.
Case Probably Will Re Taken Into
 the Courts Before Ended.

Little Rock. June i3.-Dr. E. P Bledsoe scored in the hearing be- fore the Board of Control Monday afternoon in securing the admis- sion as evidence of daily records from the various wards. These re- cords. signed by the attendants showed that Dr. Bledsoe had visited the wards frequently.
 The Board had presented many attendants who testified that they hardly knew Dr. Bledsoe, and that he had visited their wards but once or twice since he was elected su- perintendent of the institution. The records, signed by the witnesses killed the verbal effect of their tes- timony
 The Board rested it's case Monday afternoon and at o'clock on Tues his defense. It is supposed that Dr. Bledsoe will first produce witnesses from among the medical profession to show the value of the autopsies, and will also show bv records and from other testimony, that he has not been negligent in his duty, nor has the institution nor the inmates been neglected.
 As the charges are preferred by the Board. and heard before the Board, a decision favorable to Dr. Bledsoe is not expected, and if the hearing ends in that manner. the case will be promptly taken into court. a restraining order being asked to prevent the removal of the superintendent without q hearing before an impartial tribunal.

 NEEDS 5000 MORE NAMES.
Unless They Come Quickly Primary
 Election Bill Cannot Be Filed.

Little Rock, June i3.-With three weeks yet in which to circulate petitions, 5000 names must be se- cured before the new Primary Election bill can be filed with the Secretary of State.
 On Monday afternoon petitions bearing S929 signatures had been turned in to Jos. w. House, Jr., of Little Rock, chairman of the State Democratic Central Committee, who is in charge of the petitions. It requires practically ii,009 sigma lures before the act can be initiated, and while MT. House has no doubt that the required number will be secured, he is very anxious that those having petitions which are filled. shall send them in. Mir. House has received much encour- agement in the primary bill, and there is no doubt of it's being initi- ated if those circulating petitions rush them in as quickly as they are completed.

GERMAN ADVANCE
 AGAIN ON VERDUN
After a Lull Battle Breaks Out Afresh and French Admit Teu- tons Have Penetrated Their
 Advanced Trenches.

The battle for the possession of verdun has broken out with unus- ual violence on the east bank of the Mouse after a Hull following the capture of Fort Vaux.
 The Germans put the brief res bite to good use bringing up fresh electives reforming their lines and advancing their artillery positions from which they have been method ically pounding the main French de- lenses.
 The French war office said today that the Germans have succeeded m entering their advanced trenches at one point but that elsewhere they have been repulsed.
 The French on their part have not been idle during the last few days. The Thiaumont farm fairly bristles with well placed machine guns and the German forces toilins up the steep slopes have been driven back again and again.
 The fighting continues as desper- atelv as ever according to word re- ceiyed from Paris but the situation on both sides remains as unmodl- fled as at any time since this great est of all battles begun.
 The fighting is characterized by eye witnesses as internal but words fail in giving adequate description of the bloody assaults.
 It is estimated that the Germans used up more than 30,000 infantry men in their assaults on the trench es west of Fort Vaux. The attacks followed each other so closely as to practically merge into one anoth- pp

RUSSIANS TAKE 4O,00OP PRISONERS
New Offensive Movement Grows On 275-Mile GaIicia Front-General BrussilOff Now in Command
 of the Slay Forces.

Petrograd, June 7.--In their new offensive movement the Russians have captured more than forty thousand men, it was announced of ticially Wednesday,
 The sudden blow struck by the Russians along the entire Galician front of 275 miles from Pripet to Roumania is in the opinion of the military critics here a brilliant be- ginning of the long waited Russian offensive.
 The condition of the roads now is perfect and with a plentiful supply .of ammunition the Russian advance is expected to develop swiftly.
 The movement derives significance from the fact that 1t Is not an iso- lated attack against any one portion .of the Austrian lines but a careful co-ordinated movement embracing the whole front. The movement is under the active leadership of Gen. eral BrussiIoff. who conducted the brilliant campaign in the CarDathi- ans in 1914
 The forces opposing the Russian advance are estimated at forty Aus trian infantry divisions and from ten b fifteen Austrian cayairy divisions. assisted by the most of two divisions of Germans. This brings the total Teutonic forces operating on this front up to 600,000 men

LAW FOR OCCUPATION TAX. Movement Will Re Started for Lea islative Action to Relieve Cities.

Little Rock, June i3-The next step of the Arkansas cities who have lost revenue production thru the decision of the Supreme court Mon day in knocking out the Hot Springs occupation or business tax, will be to ask the legislature to enact law giving the cities of the state the power to collect such tax.
 It is not thought probable there will be any effort to secure a return of the tax collected. and if there is it will cause endless litigation, the expense of which will be greater to the business man than the amount of the tax paid. Most of the mer- chants were in favor of the tax. for while it might not have been strictly legal. 1t enabled the city to operate without lessening police protection and other privileges.
