FATHER FELL NOW A
 UNITED STATES CITIZEN
From Tuesdays Daily

From Tuesdays Daily
 Renouncing allegiance to Emperor William and the imperial government of Germany, Rev. Peter Zell, pastor of St. Joseph's Catholic church at Conway, yesterday was formerly made a citizen of the United States. The ceremony took place in the court of Judge Jacob Trieber at Little Rock. Father Zell had filed his declaration of intention to become a citizen upon his arrival in America few years ago, but through some error Tn the papers, the matter was not finally completed until yesterday.
 Although he was born on German soil. Rev. Zell is of French parent age. His parents resided in that ill., fated land, Alsace, on the border be- tween Germany and France, and they were French to the core, but the treaty which marked the end of the Franco-Prussian war and which ceded Alsace and Lorraine to Germany was
 signed only a few months before Father Zell was born. By the for- tuitious circumstances of war, ne thus came into the world a citizen or
 Germany instead of France.

MADE NO ATTACK
 ON STATf NORMAL HODGES DENIES REPORT
BELIEVES NO UNFAVORABLE CONDITIONS EXIST AT
 CONWAY SCHOOL.

That he has made no threat to "clean out the State Normal School as was reported last week in a Green wood dispatch to the Arkansas Ga zette, and that he believes no unta- vorable conditions exist in the Con- way institution is the statement of Secretary of State Earle w. Hodges 1 in a letter to the editor of the Log Cabin Democrat. The Greenwood re- port of his speech at that place Icaused much comment at Conway, as the efficient and harmonious manage ment of the Normal since its estab- Iishment here is a matter of great pride to the citizens of this city. During the nearly eight years of it's existence there has never been any charge or suspicion of mismanage- ment, disorder or extravaganza at the Normal. Each succeeding session of the legislature has given the insti tuition clean bill of health and it has achieved the reputation of being the only state institution whose budgets have not been reduced by the legislature, it being admitted on all sides that the requests for funds were limited to the actual necessities and that it's appropriations have been carefully and wisely expended.
 On account of these facts, when the Greenwood dispatch appeared the editor of the Log Cabin Democrat wrote Mir. Hodges and inquired if he was correctly quoted in the news paper story. On account of his absence from his office, a reply was delayed, but before leaving to resume his campaign yesterday, MT. Hodges wrote as follows:
 Little Rock, Ark, Jan. 10, 1916. "Hon. Frank E. Robins, Conway, Ark.
 Dear Sir and Friend:-On my re- turn to the city from weeks cam paign in western Arkansas, l find your letter of the 5th instant relating to my address at Greenwood last week, reference to which was pub Ilished in the Gazette on the 4th in- stant. The Gazettes report of the speech stated that said it was my intention upon assuming the gover- norship, to clean out the State Nor nal and State University of certain interests which are not working for the good of the state"
 "I made no such statement what ever in my speech at Greenwood, nor at any other place. I did say, how ever, that it was reported that there were certain interests at the Univer- sity of Arkansas which were not working for the good of the state that if I found upon Investigating same that such was true, 1 would endeavor to correct such conditions, and that if the same conditions should be true of any other institu- tion of the state (the agricultural schools, the State Normal or any of the charitable institutions) those con- ditions would be corrected. l did not single out any particular institution not even the State University-as having a condition there now such as referred to-
 Prom what I know of the State Normal, it is my belief that no such conditions exist in that institution. Your friend,

It is estimated that there are sev-- eral thousand deserters on the rolls; now, and their presence there de- prives those who are entitled to re-. ceive pensions, of several dollars. each. These illegal pensioners have already started opposition to the bill, according to Commander Kellogg, and as most of them are backed up by politicians, they will make things hum in an effort to defeat the bill. The Sons of Veterans have pledged their support to the measure, and are expected to get it through the legisla- lure,

DAVIS FACTION IN
 ARKANSAS IS SPLIT FIRST TIME IN HISTORY
ASPIRANTS FOR GOVERNORS $ CHAIR NEITHER DAVIS NOR
 ANTI-DAVIS MEN.

The division of the old Jeff Davis political faction and leaders between the camps of Dr. c. H. Brough and Secretary of State Earle W. Hodges, candidate for governor, has caused what politicians agree is one of the most surprising situations ever seen in state politics.
 It is generally agreed that the with drawal of former Congressman I. C. McRae from the race leaves the field without any anti-Davis candidate, a new occurrence in politics. Neither is there a Davis candidate. While Attorney General Wallace Davis, Frank Pace, Penitentiary Commls- sioner J. A. Bradsher and other Davis leaders are in Dr. Brough s camp, Governor Hays and many of his supporters who were identified with the old Davis faction are sup porting Mir. Hodges. It is a ques- tion among politicians which of these candidates anti-Davis men like Ste phen Brundidge of Searcy and others will support since the withdrawal of MT. McRae. Judge L. c. Smith of Dewitt, the other candidate for gov ernor. so far does not claim among his supporters any we'll known lead CTS of the Davis or anti-Davis tac- tions.
 Another surprising feature of the campaign at present is the attitude of aspirants for the United States senate. Smead Powell of Camden, who is an avowed candidate to suc- ceed Senator Joe T. Robinson in 1918, has announced he will be active for Dr. Brough. Senator Robinson and one of his closest political friends, A. J. Walls, chairman of the State Central Committee also are be- ing identified with the Brough forces Former Governor Geo. w. Dona- rhey and Associate Justice w. F. Kirby, also aspirants for the Senate, nave not announced who they will be for in the governors race.
 Senator James P Clark has not been considered a likely candidate to succeed himself in 1920 until recent ly. In announcing recently that he will not be a candidate for delegate at large to the Democratic national convention, Senator Clarke said; Il am through with elections at the present time." This is taken by some to indicate he will again be a candi- date for the Senate four years hence
 The withdrawal of Mir. McRae means the end of attempts of some of th9 former candidates to arrange for a joint campaign between the candidates for governor, it IS be- lieved. MT. McRae had called a meeting for Friday, but his with drawal caused the meeting to fall to results. Representatives of Dr. Brough, MT. Hodges and Judge Smith expect to meet in Little Rock tomorrow to further consider the matter, but it is considered improo- able any action will be taken. Both Dr. Brough and MT. Hodges have outlined their itineraries in different parts of the state.-Gazette.

Memphis, Jan. 6.-J. NJ.

The negro complied and Bell was soon slumbering. The negro was sit ting by his side when Bell awakened, and, taking it for granted that all was well, Bell handed him the proper change. The negro departed.
 Some minutes later Bell looked for his suitcase and couldn't find it. He felt for his pocketbook containing $50 and it was also missing. He discoy- cred that his watch and chain were gone as well. Bell reported his loss to the central police station giving description of the negro who took such good care of his possessions.

BILLIE" BURKE
IS COMING SOON
VIII Be Seen in Peggy at Strand
Theatre Next Wednesdays
Very Popular Actress.
SHE HAS DESERTED THE STAGE

The enthusiasm of film producers
the lure of the great outdoors with
its truly natural scenic settings
and the contrast between Sleep
ing cars and hotels and the bunga-
lows, private yachts and fast motor
cars with which leading directors
endow their stars-thus is explained
Billie Burke's decision to continue
in the new art in which she has
made such a successful debut under
the direction of Thomas H. Ince with
the Triangle production of Peggy"
to be seen at the Strand next We'd
nesday.
Although she went to California
with contract that would appear
in itself to be sufficient lure, Miss
Burke insists that it wasn't the
salary at all. Briefly she found the
contagious enthusiasm of Ince I'M
usual after her long and varied stage
experience; she liked the bungalow
which he provided for her on the
Catalina Islands; the private yacht
chartered for her exclusive use was
pleasant toy; and the fast auto
mobile-well, every one knows Billie
Burke's mania for turning gasoline
into speed.
When Peggy" was completed
Miss Burke confessed that she was
sorry. But she returned to New
York to begin rehearsals in new
play which her husband had obtained
for her. Somehow her former en-
thusiasm for the venture was lack
ing. And only when she had signed
contract to remain in the pictures
did her well known exuberant spirits
revive. She couldn't forget that
bungalow that yacht and that winged
auto. TIE prospect of sleepers,
hotels and dark stages wasn't palat-
able.

MCQUEEN FROM
THE WAR ZONE
Scotchman Who Loves the Stars and
the Stripes Better Than Native
Land Talks at New Hope.
HE SHOWED 200 FINE PICTURES

DR.. Peter MacQueen, talked upon
the European war, and showed more
than 200 views taken in the countries
now on the firing line, at the enter
tainment of the Citizens Literary
Society, held in Rockers hall, New
Hope, last evening.
The stereopticon views themselves
were magnificent, and the talk by
DR.. MacQueen was a masterpiece
of oratorical information concerning
that in which everybody is interest
ed, but many know but little.
Applause was frequent and hearty
especially when the speaker said that
although born in Scotland, he was
an American, had lived in this county
thirty years, and would fight for it
any day, even if he had to fight
against brother Scotchmen to pro-
tect the stars and stripes.
Although there was some thought
that this would end the career of the
Literary Society, through the some
what meagre support given it the
past year or so as compared with the
previous dozen years, Clarence D.
Antrim, head of the bureau that
furnishes the entertainers, made
special plea for its continuance, and
200 tickets were subscribed for in
a few moments. With the naming
of a committee to do the work, it is
thought that it will be possible to
sell at least that many mo- for the
season of 1916-1917. M Antrim
said that theNewhope entertainments
were the standard by which others
were judged.
