RECORDS FILED IN
 CIRCUIT COURT
Dr. Bledsoe Will Be Given a Chance to Make Real Defense -Intimates Will Introduce Some Interesting Testimony.

Little Rock, June 22.-All records in the Board of Control investiga- tions which led up to the attempted discharge of Dr. E. P Bledsoe as superintendent of the State Hospital were Thursday morning filed in Pu- laski Circuit Court, Second Division, where they will be reviewed on a writ of certiorari by Judge Guy Fulk
 In this court the question to be de- termined is whether or not there was sufficient cause for the discharge of Dr. Bledsoe, and in order to deter mine this the two sides will probably be invited to present testimony. This will give Dr. Bledsoe a chance to make real defense, for in the hear ling his attorneys were denied the fright to produce testimony not to the liking of the Board members.
 Dr. Bledsoe intimates that he will be able tc introduce some very inter- esting testimony if given the oppor- tunity, and should Judge Fulk finally dismiss the case, he still has a chance in the Chancery Court, where quo warranto proceedings are pending. This suit makes the Board the defend ant and requires it to show that the good of the institution was uppermost in the dismissal of Dr. Bledsoe.
 | "I do not want the people of Ar kansas 70 think l am fighting for the position" said Dr. Bledsoe in discuss ing the case Thursday. "I can make much more in private practice, but l am fighting now for the people of Ar kansas, and when they know the mo- tives which prompted this attack upon me. and by whom it has been waged, l think they will thank me The courts will no doubt give me a chance to at least get part of this before the public.
 "When 1 took hold of that institu- tion it was running about as smoothly as any in the South, and was probably the best equipped, and nothing is be- ing neglected even now, but if this Board is permitted to carry out its plans, things will be different"

Old Southern longs were said to be among the sell CTS, while there was also active real izing by houses with Wall street and Western connections

EX-GOV. GLYNN'S SPEECH.

One of the greatest speeches made at any political convention in the last twenty years was that made by ex- Governor Martin II. Glynn of New York in the recent National Demo- cratic Convention at St. Louis, ac- cOrding to Hon. W. V. Tompkins, who was a delegate from Nevada county. After discussing the conduct of Presi- dent Wilson in keeping the country out of the European War, Gov. Glynn recited the different diplomatic con
 tests of the government since Wash mgton, showing that at different times the commerce of the United States had been interfered w,;h " forei .gn nations to greater extent than it has been interfered with during the pres ent war in Europe. He showed that drant anG Lincoln by negotiation has

ARKANSAS GUARD
 RAPIDLY RECRUITING
Many Are Anxious to Serve as Oflicers-FOrmer Mississippi County Man Would Serve in Any Capacity. :.

Little Rock, June 22.-Several com panies of the Arkansas National Guard have already reported that they have recruited to the minimum strength of 65 men each. Orders will probably be given tomorrow to such companies to move at once to Fort Logan H. Roots, and they should be- gin to arrive and go into camp by Saturday. After their arrival here they will be recruited to their war strength of Al men each. The feel ing prevails among military men gen. erally that the Arkansas troops will be ordered to the border, although many others believe that there will be an adjustment of the differences and that actual hostilities will be averted
 It is probable that a third regiment will be organized in the state if the enlistments are strong enough to warrant it. This would entitle the state to brigade commander.
 Many telegrams are coming to the governor and to headquarters from men who are anxious to serve their country. But the majority are from wouldbe colonels, captains, majors, and even chaplains. One unique tele- gram came to the governor from G. O. Slocumb at Colorado Springs, for merly of Mississippi county, as fol- lows:
 "Offer my services in Arkansas militia or volunteers. Can fill any po- sition from private up. Three years experience in Philippines, regular army. Know Mexican border as well as Mississippi county"
 That a man should wire his willing ness to serve in the ranks has at tracted much favorable comment among military men.
 Khaki-clad youths are a familiar sight on the streets of Little Rock these days. The local company is being recruited, but many who offer for enlistment are rejected as being unable to stand the examination.
 Mai Curtis Little's battalion of the First, consisting of the companies al Jonesboro. Piggott, Marvell anc Blytheville, and the battalion com. manded by Maj. L. R. Smith of Fay etteville, consisting of the companies at Fayetteville, Springdale, Benton. vile and Harrison, will be ready tC move by Saturday, at the latest, anc it is expected that by Monday the greater part of the two regiments will be in camp.

 The bait when favored with the lemons not only is more attractive but is more appetizing and thus is eaten by more of the worms. The damp mash should be sown broadcast in the infested areas in the evening. If ihe worms are moving into an ad- joining field. a strip of the bran mash should be soWn broadcast along the edge of the field into which they are moving The worms do not eat the poisoned mash so readily when it is dry, and for this reason it should he scattered in the evening. for the worms work mostly at night.-From the Kansas Industrialist.

PLAYERS
 VIOLATE THE RULES

There is supposed to be a 21- player limit rule in force in the National league, but it is in force only on those clCbs which care to obey it, writes Ra lph Davis in the Pittsburg Press. It has been learned that two or three clubs are carrying more mon than the law allows. To be sure, the extra players are not on the eligible list. They are carried as disabled" though there is not thing wrong with them In case it becomes eXpedient to use them they will be transferred to the active list, and others who have been dis placed will take their places on the ineligible list This is a great little scheme to beat the rule. It is up to President Tener to care fully watch the clubs lists of players. and see to it that the regulations are lived up to in spirit as well as in letter
