ROBBERS BLOW TWO
 SAFES AT BRADFORD
Secure More Than $2OO in Cash and Make Successful
 Escape on Railroad Speeder

At an early hour Saturday morning safe-bloWers wrecked the safes of two mercantile es-. tablishments at Bradford, 15 miles south of Newport, G. w. Hodges and G. H. Davis retail stores being entered and the yeggs securing more than $200.
 The burglars, entering both stores by rear windows, evi- dently set both charges to go off simultaneously, as only one blast was heard by residents of the town. About l o'clock in the morning U. L.Hiekman and tG. H.Davis heard reports which they are sure were the blasts from the charges set to wreck the safes.
 Mr. Hodges lost only about S4 in cash, suffering no other loss except the wrecking of the safe, which is said to be cover- ed by burglar insurance.
 c. H. Davis lost about $200 in cash, and the safe was so badly wrecked as to be a total loss.
 No clew has been obtained as to the possible identity or number of the burglars, as no investigation was made of the affair until about 5 o'clock Sat urday morning, when it was impossible to secure any trace stolen from the Ir0hp 6HSfH0o1unrain Railroad and one or more of the thieves evidently left town on it, leaving the machine at culvert just above Bald Knob.
 Indications point to one man being with the speeder at the time 1t was taken from the track, from the position it was left in at the side of the rails, though 1t is believed that two or more men were engaged in the work of blowing the safes.
 Bloodhounds were taken to the scene from Newport but were unable to follow the trail.

LIKE ARKANSAS BOYS
 AT POWDER WORKS

Dear Mr. Editor.-Thought 1 would write you a few lines to let you know how things are here.
 There are lots of the boys from Newark working at the powder plant here. Almost ev- erybody who comes from Ark ansas gets q job. It seems that they like Arkansas people, for the plant is almost run by them for there are more people from Arkansas working there than from any other state, and some of the best jobs are held by Arkansas boys.
 am electrician for the com pany. They have their own light plant, water works and telephone systems. The com pany owns over 2600 acres of land and works from 600 to 700 men. They put out from 60,0o0 to 90,000 pounds of powder per day. Urbin Owens. Ebert Arnold and Rob Morris handle from 15 to 20 thousand pounds of nitro-glVcerine per day.
 The powder is sold for about S22.5 per hundred pounds and t is plain to see they are making some money out of 1t fer the material in one dollars worth only cost them tnn aante The expense of handling 1t is about 40 cents, or that is about what it is estimated.
 They have had one little shot since l came up here. About a

PROHIBITION LAW IS
 UPHELD BY COURT
Supreme Court Rules That One One Year in Pen is the Only
 Penalty For Selling Liquor.

The Supreme Court held Monday that there is but one punishment for persons convic- ted of selling or giving away liquor in violation of the new Statewide prohibition aw.That punishment, as set forth in the Newberry act, is one years i'm prisonment.
 The court held that under the law as it now stands, the sale or giving away of liquor is a felony, and can not be a nlisdemeanor.
 The act ie cumulative to oId laws only m the natter Of i,- suance of licenses in the State and not cumulative to preserve old law penalties which would give the State a right to treat bootlegging either as a misde- meanor or as felony.
 The test case came from the Circuit Court of Cross County, in which a man named Sea wood. charged with bootleg ging, was discharged when the court sustained a demurrer in his behalf.
 The contention was that the act was cHmulative.and aI1pen- lties under the old law was pre- served and the State could treat cases as misdemeanors or as felonies.
 The court held that the act is cumulative only in respect to issuance of license as See ton 1 of the law says: "AH parts of laws providing for is suance of liquor licenses in the State of Arkansas that are in conflict herewith are hereby repealed, and this actis intend ed to be cumulative to all pre- sent liquor laws prohibiting the issuance of liquor licenses in the State of Arkansas.
 The ruling is that. if a per

University Removal

Concerning the desirability of the State University in d more central location, the gov ernor said:
 ''You people are in posi- tion to agitate questions of im- pOrtance. 1 believe that if you would agitate the proposition of removing the State University to some central location in the State you would do more for the young mZ1hood and the young womanhood than almost anything at your command at this time. Take the University where it is now located, in anin- accessible part of the State, our young men and young women from the extreme southern and eastern part of the state are almost denied the privileges and advantages of this institu- tion because ofits inaccesibility In these parts of the State it costs more to send boy or girl to the Arkansas University with the tremendous amount appropriated by the State and federal governments than it would to send them to Harvard or Yale. If this institution could be located at some central point in the State, where the people would be brought in contact with it and it's manage ment, where they could know how the money paid by them in taxes for it's maintenance is expended, 1t could be made a great institution and great university; but, under present conditions and where it is now l9eatedN sIf3 wit 1t haaa baarb beer f9e Is almost a failure. 1 am convinced that a plan could be inaugurated whereby the university can be removed, placed upon a sound basis, without one dollars ex- pense to the taxpayers of the State, and if this is done, it would be to the credit of every loyal citizen and to the glory of the youth of our land"

SLOT MACHINE QUIZ TO FADE
AWAY WITH JUST FINES

HtNAI WI n JOO TlINES
There will be no probe into the
identity of the "men higher up" in
the slot machine graft scandal The
insinuations that friends of the city
administration profited from the ma
chimes will not be investigated The
captains on trial for some strange
reason have refused to make good
their threats to talk. 1t is agreed
that the captains will get no heavy
punishment for allowing the ma
chimes in their district. They will ac-
cept a fine. They will pay it and the
case will end.
Above is the present status of the
much-discussed slot machine quiz in
which Police Capts. O'Toole, Cronin
and Caughlin and Asst Corporation
Counsel Alfred Erickson and Frank
Buzsin, city investigator, were sus-
pended. 1t is admitted that fines
will be the only punishment meted
out.
All mention of politicians who told
the captains that everything was
fixed up for the machines to run"
was carefully kept out Of the fact.
Even the names of Erickson and Buz-
sin were kept out Of the case. This
in spite of the fact that Erickson and
Buzsin were close friends of Thomp-
son and the rumors were strong that
it was found necessary to GUST them
from their jobs.
