CAN OFFICE HOLDER
 SERVE AS FLECTOR?
Question at Issue Involves Also the Time When Newly Elected Of-
 ficials Shall Begin Terms.

Little Rock, Aug. 2.-T. J. Terral, assistant secretary of the State Cen tral committee, acting upon instruc- tions of the committee given at the recent session, wrote to H. A. North cutt, of Salem, prosecuting attorney of the Sixteenth circuit, that no state, district, or county officer could hold the office of presidential elector. MT. Northcutt, being a district officer, could not therefore act as elector. The committee went so far as to select J. A. Neaville of White county as his successor, to be formally appointed by Chairman House upon the receipt of MT. Northcutt's s resignation.
 MT: Northcutt, however, replies that he will retire from office November 1, and will not therefore hold an office; moreover, he says that the committee is mistaken about his holding after the November election, and that there is nothing in the laws of the party to prohibit his being candidate for cleo tor while holding the office of prose- cutting attorney.
 This brings up the question of when the officers elected November shall assume their office. Secretary of State Hodges insists that he will not issue commissions until January 1, but there seems to be a growing doubt in the minds of some as to the correct ness of his position. Some are saying that an earlier date may be fixed, and predict that test case will be taken to the supreme court.
 MT. Northcutt insists that if the committee still believes he is not eligi- ble, he will resign his office of prose- cutting attorney before he will lose his place as elector.

Carmen Get Raise.

New York, Aug. 2.-Organizers of the street car employees union asserted that wage increases granted by the Interborough Rapid Transit company to it's workers today will not be per mitted to interfere with plans to unionize the men. The action of the company is proof that the complaint of the employees are just, union off cials declared.
 Various agencies continued today their efforts to bring about an amicable settlement of the dispute. The public service commission held a hearing in an effort to learn the un- deriving causes of the industrial dis turbance, and the Broadway associa- tion, representing large business in- terests, offered to arbitrate. New York state and city authorities are preparing today to deal with a great strike of street railway em- ployes which, if begun, is expected to | tie up virtually the whole street rail way service of the city.
 Officers of the Amalgamated Asso- citation of Street Railway Men, who are in charge of the efforts to or. ganize the employees in order to en- IOTCc uculdUu IO1 ICCOSIAtioi VI oAtC union and an increase in pay, said to- day they were nearly ready to present their demands to the New York Rail ways company, operating most of the surface lines in the borough of Man. haitian.
 Officers of this company are pre- pairing to resist the demands of the men and are establishing dormitories and training new men to take the places of the strikers.
 The threatened tie-up of every car line in Greater New York is to be only the first step in nationwide strike of street car men in order to win the lunion's demand for the right to or ganize everywhere, it was stated to- day by Louis Fredigar, counsel for the union organizers.

 Lord Robt. Cecil, minister of war trade, today made known to the Asso- ciated Press that it was the British governments determination not to renrieve Sir Roger

Officials inti- mated to the Associated Press, how ever, that is the usual procedure. as sentence on a convict carries with if the natural supposition of execution
 The whole subject surrounding Sit Rogers case has been seriously con- sidered by the cabinet and the deter animation to let the law take its course proved unalterable

Norfolk, Va. Aug 2.-The German merchant submarine Deutschland passed out of the Virginia capes at S:30 o'clock tonight, apparently un- observed by the allied warships wait ing for her, and so far as is known here, is now safely on her homeward voyage.
 No untoward incident marked the departure of the giant submersible. She was accompanied only by her tug and a newspaper dispatch boat when she began an 1S-mie dash from Low CT Chesapeake bay to the capes. After proceeding slowly most of the way down, she increased her power at 6:3O and reached the capes just after dusk None of the allied cruisers was visible as she passed through the Capes.
 Whether she submerged before she reached the three limit, is un- known The two accompanying boats only know that when she disappeared she was unharmed and that to all ap- pesrances she had a clear field ahead, to point where she could submerge safely.
 Within half an hour after the last night of the Deutschland had disap- peared. her tug, the Thomas F. Tim mins, hove into sight and headed up the Chesapeake hay, in the direction of Baltimore. from which place the Deutschland sailed yesterday, p days after her sensational arrival from Bremen.
 The Bremen, sister ship to the Deutschland. reported due here with the Deutschland's departure, thus far has not appeared.
