JUDGE MAY ORDER
 AUDIT OF BOOKS
CASE IN SUPREME COURT
IS DECIDED, AUTHORIZING EM- PLOYMENT OF AUDITORS
 BY COUNTY COURT.

Little Rock, Jan. 25.-That coun- ty judge has the rioht to appoint ex- pert accountants to examine the DOCKS of county officers, was the decision of the Arkansas supreme court yester- day in the case of E.. F. Leathem X Go. against Jackson county, appealed from the Jackson circuit court. The supreme court held that the Jackson circuit court erred in setting aside the order of the county court making the contract and in disallowing the claim of the accountants for payment for their work.
 The decision of the supreme court has been awaited with interest all over the state. The Pulaski county grand jury few weeks ago asked the circuit court to appoint or allow the employment of expert account ants to audit the books of the county officers. Judge R. J. Lea said he did not believe the circuit court had au- thority to do this, because the statutes provide that the accounts shall be ex- amined by a commission of county ac- counts. No movement has been made to have County Judge Joe Asher ap- point accountants thus far. Under the decision of the supreme court, the county judge and the circuit judge, has this authority.
 The supreme court held that the constitution grants exclusive jurisdlc- tion to the county courts over all mat ters pertaining to the disbursement of county funds and that the statutes give the county courts jurisdiction "to audit, settle and disburse money for county purposes" and makes it in cumbent upon officers Ito settle with and render their accounts to the coun- ty court" :.
 The supreme court also said that the statutes provide that where gooc cause is shown for setting aside the settlements of officers, the count! court may "re-examine, settle and ad, just same.'
 In a somewhat similar case severa years ago a county judge appointed a special attorney to examine the re ports and settlements of county of ficers and while the supreme court did not pass directly upon the author ity of the county court to appoint the special attorney, by it's silence it rec ognized the authority to make the appointment

COURT COMES TO
 RELIEF OF JUDGES WON'T BE F0RCED..T0 RUN
SUPREME COURT AFFIRMS TEST CASE BROUGHT IN
 PULASKI COUNTY.
Special to the Log Cabin Democrat.


 Little Rock, Jan 24. - Circuit judges in Arkansas elected in Sep tember, 1914, for term of four years, will not have to become candi- dates for reelection again this year, in order to prevent their tenure from lapsing and their offices becoming va cant, according to a decision handed down by the supreme court today.
 The question arose some months ago and judges of the state have been worried, owing to the ambiguous and uncertain language of the statute changing the date of elections from September to November. A test case was brought by Judge G. w. Hen dricks of Pulaski county, who sought to mandamus Secretary of State Earle w. Hodges to compel him to place his name on the ticket for the November election. By mutual agree ment between the parties, MT. Hodges refused to do this, in order that a test case might be carried to the su- preme court.
 The court held today that while a strict interpretation of the new act might require that judges run again in 1916 in order to be eligible to con- tinue in their positions after the next November elections, such was not the legislative intent, as indicated by other parts of the statute and by cer- tain provisions of the constitution.

COTTON EMBARGO
 SOON DISAPPEARS
FREIGHT AGAIN ACCEPTED.
ACTION WHICH THREATENED SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES
 FINALLY REVOKED.

Little Rock, Jan 20.-Like one of Arkansas spells of winter, the threat ened embargo on cotton and other shipments to eastern points, which had serious aspects Wednesday, blew over in a short time. The embargo lasted but few hours before it be- gan to thaw out and railroads began to accept freight.
 After receiving notice on Tuesday that eastern railroads would accept no freight not perishable or intended for human consumption, the Arkansas t1unk lines notified the big shippers of Arkansas that they would not ac- cept freight for New York or eastern points. This would shut up every bit of cotton in the state, and immediate ly the cotton factors began to see ruin staring them in the face. There were the mills in New England begging for cotton, and agreeing to unload cars upon the day of arrival, and the cotton growers and commission men who had spot cotton, on the other. Both would be seriously affected by the refusal of the railroads to handle cotton.
 Practically all banks of Arkansas have large sums loaned on cotton and there wa sa feeling of unrest for fear the price would slump, and the banks withdraw their loans. The cotton firms of Little Rock and other centers became real busy and started a flood of telegrams to the interstate con- merce commission and to Arkansas representatives at Washington, ask ing that the railroads be forced to accept all cotton offered to them.
 On Wednesday morning some of the short line roads in Arkansas be- gan to accept bills of lading for cot ton, and before night one or two trunk lines had followed their exam pie. All lines are expected to receive cotton before the end of Thursday. This is all based on reports that sev- eral of the large eastern railroads are to lift their embargo within the next "A hours, and fairly prompt ser vice is promised.
 The congestion of freight in the east is due to the heavy export ship ments, which cannot be moved from New York. Railroads of Pennsyl- vania, New York, and New Jersey, have all their tracks filled with load ed cars which are billed to New York for transportation to Europe. Ships are unattainable to carry this abroad, because all the ships are in use as transports, or the greater part of them. Railroad men state that the eastern roads will not accept freight even on their own lines, unless it is for human consumption. Over 50,- 900 cars are tied up on the tracks about New York. The railroads must pay 45 cents per day for each of these cars up to thirty days and if they are not returned to their home road in that time the penalty is increased to $1 per day.
