TO FILL VACANCY
Seventeenth Amendment to
Constitution Cited to Up
hold This Contention,

Little Rock, Oct. 2.-The death OF
Senator James P. Clarke has been fol-
lowed with much speculation and con-
lecture as to the filling Of the vac
ancy. Many men have been mentioned
in connection with the place, Associate
Justice w. F. Kirby and former Con-
gresham C. C. Reid being the two
most prominently talked about.
The opinion has been prevalent that
Governor Hays would appoint to fill
the vacancy, but the seventeenth
amendment to the constitution of the
United States, declared adopted in
May, 1918, says:
"When vacancies happen in the repre-
sentation of any state in the senate,
the executive authority of such state
shall issue writs of election to flll such
vacancy; provided that the legislature
of any state may empower the exc
cutive thereof to make temporary ap-
pointment until the people fill the vac
s ,! BY election as the legislature may
The legislature of 1915 having made
no provision for such appointment, II
appears that the governor has no pow
er to make even a temporary appoint
ment, but must call a special cleo
ton to fill the vacancy.
Judge Kirby is candidate tor tn
place, for which, on the face OF tn
returns, Senator Clarke defeated hin
by only PIP votes.

HIGH LIVING COST
WILL BE PROBED

A joint meeting of the five orders
Of railroad men of Pine Bluff will be
held at Labor temple at 8 p. M,
Thursday night, to inquire into the
high cost of living, from the wage
earners' viewpoint.
Some of the questions that are 10
be presented are why one merchant
can sell for less than another and
why merchants in other cities sell
more goods and produce for less mon
CIV than those in this city. also why
farmers get so little for their meats
and the packers sell for such high
prices.

On the upper reaches of the Dan

Rnstcbnk and Tultukai, where the
river begin its aurn northeastWard
yeaving Bulgarian territory and sep
ara'ing Rumania proper from Do
hrudJa, the troops OF Rumania have
made their way to the southern banks
OF the stream. Just how many men
were thrown across the river is not
disclosed in either Rumamian or Ger
man onlclal communications, but the
strategic value of the manevure is
tWo1old. Ninety miles eastward of
Iultukai, which lies at the extremity
OF Dbrudja, is Varna, Bulgaria's chiaf
seaport on the Black sea-. If sufficient
men are across the river and are sent
along the frontier toward Varna not
only would the port be in danger, but
menace toward ire isolation Of The
German, Bulgarian and Turkish forces
operating against Rumania to the
north.
Simultaneous with the announce
