What proved to be the greatest
drawing card in the way OF a public
meeting for many years. was the joint
debate in the court house here last
night between Mrs. o. d. OHphant Of
New Jersey. and J. slideli Brown. Of
Elkins. The debate was for and fer
ninst woman suffrage and was fast
and furious from start 20 finish. The
genial editor from upstate, who is
known as the original woman's man
i'm this section, was at his best and
delivered some telling blows. but In
issuing his defy recently to the ants
he took In considerable territory and
New Jersey proved his unoding. Mrs.
Oliphant is a gifted orator and an ex-
perienced campaigner and she simply
eats 'em alive when II comes to suffra-
gists She proved convincing and held
her audience until the last minute.
Not for many years have so many
people gathered for a similar purpose
here, many car loads coming from
nearby points and the court room was
jammed. while almost as many out
side tried to gain entrance. Senator
Hughes refereed the match.

BRADBURY MAKES FIRST MOVE IN
 HOMICIDE CASE
Wants Court Order to Take Character Testimony at
 Virginia Home.

T. $. Bradbury, in jail here await ing trial on an indictment chargin5 him with the murder of P. G. Jen- k:ns. shot 10 death at Sherrill on the aoght of Decsmber 26, 1915, yester- day filed with Circuit Judge w. 5. scrrells a petition for an order to permit the taking of depositlons of citizens of orange. Va. ill order to show the reputation Bradbury enjoys :aere as a peaceable and laW-abldln9 eitizen.
 The petition was filed by R. L. Pogers f Little Rock, who was re- ;ain by Bradbury some weeks ago. This is the second trip MT. Rogers has made to Pine Bluff this week, being in the city during the stay of Captain Thomas Fleming of the Kan sas City, Kansas, police departms ni. MT. Rogers conferred with Attorney fl. K. Toney, and it was stated after ward that Nr. Toney may be em- ployed t. assist in the defense of Bradbury.
 Prosecuting Attorney T. G. Parhan. !eriously doubts that inc Will Mar in, alias "Arkansas Red,' held here as witness in the Jenkins case, IS the negro suspected of c-n pl1clty Iii the murder of paWn-broker in Kansas City, Kan. MT. Parham points; out:
 First, the discrepancy in the state ment 10 him by Captain Fleming that the pawn broker was murdered in July. 1915. and the telegram to The Graphic from a Kansas City news paper man giving November IS, 1913, as the date of the pawn brokers murder
 Second, that it is very probable that among the numerous desc t- ticns of negro fugitives from justics ;i, these United States there could be found one CT more that would be similar to the description of Witl Martin, the negro in jail here.
 Third, that an officer of a city where a negro is wanted for murder would naturally be sufficiently inter estsd in any prisoner, Eald anywhere, fitting the descripticn of the fugi.. tive to make a trip to that city to see and talk wi.h the suspect, and that in so doing, the officer might ba cHe-iNly HoHeSl III lhe nelle1 tHat lne Prisoner is the suspect he seeks, though the prisoner may be an en- tirely different person.
 The prosecuting attorney further aoints out that it would be easily pos sible for an officer like Captain Elem ing to be imposed upon, under these circumstances, by some one interest ed in casting reflection upon the credibility of Martin.

W0MEN MAKE BOOTS.

Washington, Feb. 24.--Thirty- five per cent of the So.0oo workers em- ployed in the boot and shoe trade of Massachusetts are women, states a bulletin issued today by the depart ment of labor.
 Boston, Chelsea, Brocton. Lynn Beverly and Morlsoro were among the town in which the investigators made a survey. It was found that included among the female workers, thousands are young girls employed at wages considerably in excess of the usual wage for women.
 Most of the women do their best work in the stitching rooms of the big factories. Thus far the women have not entered the cutting rooms, this branch of the trade being handled exclusively by men. The packing room work, formerly done by men, is now almost completely in the hands of women. Women are also found in large numbers at the assembling ma chimes doing eyeletting and button hole making. Wages paid women in this work average. $1o and over per week,

POLITICS TODAY TAME COMPARED
 WITH OLD DAYS
(By Clio Harrer)

Little Rock, Feb. 24.--A persual of tho columns of the Arkansas Gazette j.l the early territcrial days of the '20's will prove to the most casual reader that the kind of politics thar Is being served up to neW3pape" readers in Arkansas now is mere child's play in comparison with the kind that engaged he attention of the rough and ready practioners of those days To be sure, we are hearing today the charges, freely made, that this. that or the other candidate is q thief" crook" tax -dodger,' q Yankee or something else equally horrible. But the people refuse t9 became excited about it. Tn the early days politics was really personal matter, and there was apparently no censorship over the things that one candidate or faction might publish about another. If they got too strong there might be duel and a job fof ihe undertaken, but that was all in the days work.
 The Arkansas campaign is warm ing up with the election cnly five weeks off, and the chief bitterness has developed in the races for gover TOT and auditor of stase. Charges and Counter-change are being pasSea back and forth between pr Brougil snd Secretary Hedges. and Governor Hays is figuring in the controversy as a proponent of the secretary. In the auditors race. the charges of misconduct in the office" made when C.. NJ. Coffman resigned as hock-keeper have not yet been cleared up. The missing poll-tax re- oeipts. alleged by sheriff Oliver. Dr. Dickinson's opponent, form the bone of contention that adds interest to what might have otherwise been as devoid of thrills as the races for sec- etary of state, superin ntendent of public instruction and attorney gen. eral.
 The only change in the minor races is the withdrawal of R. lP. Allen from the race fer railroad commissioner Of he northwestern district, and tn } entrance of E. l.. McHaney. a young lawyer of Little Rock The other contestants are Oscar Winn of Little Rcct and Walter Brasher of Dardan- Clle. Oscar Vim, who has run for the office before, has set most hign standard of qualification for those who would fill that office. He says:
 ITO be railroad commissioner re- quires the skill of stairbuilder, the are of an engineer. the eye of an l artist, the genius of mathematician the constructive ability of a machin- ist, the executive vision of a pilot. and the judicial fairness Of a goddess of justice"
 And yet tbare are men who, are willing to tackle the job.

MILK EXPORTS JUMP.

Washington, Feb. 24.-The war has created an unprecedented demand for American condensed milk, with the allied nations buying most of the out nut of seventy-six million pounds valued at s6,000,0o0, exported last year, according to an announcement by Dr. Edward l..
