HAYS REPLIES TO
BROUCH'S CHARGES
CHALLENGES CANDIDATE
MAKES STATEMENT AS TO
MESSAGE TO LEGISLATURE
ON LIQUOR QUESTION.

Little Rock, Feb. 17.-Gov. Hays
yesterday issued lengthy statement
in reply to charges made against him
by DR.. c. NJ. Brough, one of the can
dldates for governor. The governor
says:
I'm reference to charges made by
Dr. Brough in his printed speech re-
garding my relatives being employed
IN the different departments of the
state, and that the stenographer in
my office, Miss Burnside, is a rea-
tive of mine. | wish to make the
doctor the following challenge:
If Miss Burnside is related to me
IN any way under the sun, blood or
marriage, affinity or consangunity, I
will use all the influence in my power
to get Mr. Hodges and Judge Smith
to withdraw from the governors race
and support the doctor, if he will
agree, if she is not related to me in
any way, to acknowledge to the peo-
PIE that he has told an absolute
falsehood.
w liSi ilt ltSpblitS W llilS C1ldi-
lenge | will answer other of his
charges. will say, in reference to
one thing, that Senator B. II. Great
house, who lives in the county from
which Dir. Brough is running for
governor, was the senator who ad-
yised me to change my recommended
lions in my original message to the
last legislature from the statewide
prohibition to submission.
A so J A. Bradsher, who has
claimed to be supporting DR.. Brough,
was at my residence when | wrote
that particular part of my message,
and knows that it was written rec
ommending statewide prohibition
IF anyone who doubts this state
ment will advise with the Rev Dr.
Barret, f. J. A. Mckinney, Senator
+. c. White, T. j. Raney and others
who had charge of the prohibition
fight, he can satisfy himself, because
Senator Greathouse told them just
exactly what was said between him
and myself on the subject just be-
lore my original message was given
to the legislature"
DR.. Brougn charged that Gov.
Hays sent a supplementary message
to the legislature, changing his rec
concentrations from submission to
statewide prohibition only when he
saw that passage of the statewide
prohibition law was inevitable.

POLITICS lURID
IN EARLY DAYS

Little Rock, Feb. Misses Hat
tie and Fannie Bell of Little Rock
have lent to the Arkansas History
Commission complete files of the Ar
hmsas Gazette for the years 1892 to
1919. They are granddaughters Of
Major ". L. Woodruff, founder of
the paper.
A perusal of the Gazette columns
of those early territorial days shows
Il at the politics of 1916 is a Sunday
school frolic as compared with those
days when Crittenden and Sewer and
other giants locked horns in the po-
lticaI arena. There was apparently
no fear of interference for violation
cl libel or United States mail laws
Political opponents were freely
branded rs cravens and towards and
worse in the columns of the paper,
and if they didn't like it, they had re-
course to the duel.

CLEAR CREEK CO,
STRIKES MORE GAS
DRILLFRS MORE ACTIVE
THREE MORE BIG WELLS EX-
PECTED TO BE BROUGHT IN
CRAWFORD FIELD.

The past week with its more favor
able weather, has brought renewed
activity and interest in the Crawford
gas and oil fields and the next few
weeks will no doubt record at least
three, and possible four big gas, if
not oil producing wells There are
now six rigs at work, three more
being put up, or in transit to this
field and the number of active rigs
will be doubled within two weeks if
nothing prevents their installation.
The Clear Greek companys No. 2
we'll has reached depth of 1900
feet and has developed flow of
nearly 100000 feet per day. The
same volume of gas was encountered
in their first well at the same depth
and the gas strike in No. was ex-
pected. The work of spudding in
their we'll No. 3 on Arbuckle Is
land has been accomplished and
splendid progress is being made there.
The company has purchased an
other rig that will reach this field
soon.
The we'll being sung for this COM
pany on the John B. Brown farm has
reached a depth of 1900 feet, and so
far the log of this well corresponds
closely with the logs from Clear
Creek wells l and 2. The sensation
al report of l5,000,000 foot gas we'll
was without foundation, but they do
expect to encounter flow of more
or less magnitude at the 1900 foot
level just as was developed in the
two Clear Creek wells at that depth.
AS explained in these columns yes
terday, the fact that the Common
wealth company has placed an order
for Robinson cone packer that will
hold a 20,000,000 foot gas pressure
in anticipation of that volume of gas
AT depth of 2,300 feet gave rise to
the story-Van Buren Fress-Argus.

TO OBSERVE BIRD and
ARBOR DAY MARCH 4

Little Rock, Feb. 17.-At the re-
quest of Miss Clara B. Emo of Van
Buren, chairman of the committee of
civics of the Arkansas Federation of
Women's Clubs, Governor Hays has
called attention to the fact that
March is to be celebrated through
out the state as bird and arbor day,
combined The date is the first Sat
urday in the month. In writing the
governor about it, Miss Emo saws:
We need to learn why our magnifi-
cent forests should be preserved, and
why after we have planted trees they
should be cared for and how to prop
erly trim them without DESTROYING
their beauty" The necessity of pro-
tecting bird life as protection
against destructive insects is also
stressed.

FINAL GAME WITH PREPS is A
THRILLER FROM START
TO FINISH.

By defeating the Props yesterday
afternoon, Z to l6, the Sophomores
virtually clinched the championship
of the inter-class league at HendriX
College. The Juniors also climbed
ahead of the Freshies by administer
ing 10 to 13 walloping in the sec

The Soph-Prep battle was a thriller
from whistle to whistle. Although
they never were in the lead, the
Props kept right on the trail of their
more learned opponents and often
times threatened to cop the pastime
The tally was even a moment before
the final whistle was sounded Both
teams were playing their best Each

outstrip their rivals. The crucical
moment was at hand. A Prep com

litical circles today by announcing his

TO SEEK PARDON
FOR negro HERO

Col. John +. Little of Conway is
interesting himself in a movement to
secure a pardon for Emmett Wash
ington, negro convict whose heroic
conduct during the recent high
waters at Cummins attracted much
attention. Washington spent an en-
tire night, when the temperature was
bitter cold, alternately swimming and
wading through water in order to
give warning of the danger in which
several hundred convicts were placed
by the flood. He was born and reared
On Col. Little's plantation in this
county, where he bore good repu-
tation, but about seven years ago he
killed another negro in Lonoke coun-
ty and on his plea of guilty was SEN
fenced to II years Imprisonment. 1t
is stated that he has a good record
as convict, having been a trusty for
several years, and, counting off his
good time" has practically served
half his sentence. A petition for the
pardon OF the negro will be presented
to Governor Hays in the near future

they're ALL Vain,
EVEN ELEPHANTS.
Wee Bit Of Flattery Soothes
Troubled Temper Of
Minnie, at Zoo.

From Venus to the Black woman, PIN
ing behind the mud walls Of Rham
Krishna's hut, vanity, sent by the Gods,
pervades the feminine ego.
That which comes with the Love Moon
Of July hung over the Zoo yesterday.
Jhanka, aged wife OF King Leo, pacing
back and forth in her cage, raised her
great head and half growled. half pur-
red, as she scented the call to the gath
ering at the sweet water. Mowlgi, the
great striped one, lay sullen and angry.
Outside, the deer, the fieet-footed ones,
leaned hither and thither across their
too narrow enclosure, and Kaa, the wise
old Python, lay shining and resplendent
in a new skin-but all in vain.
Out in the elephant yard a keeper took
stir backed brush and scrubbed the
slate-colored sides of Minnie, oldest of
the herd. until they almost shone.
Two children, boy perhaps s, and
beribboned girl who could not nave been
more than 7. passed, then stopped, and
with big eyes, watched the keeper.
"Oh," said the little girl, and pointed
a chubby finger. "Oh, Tommy. look at
the pretty elephant"
Minnie raised her trunk and trumpeted
in pure elephantine satisfaction. II she
had been a cat she would have purred.
Then the boy spoke.
Mister" he said. hesitated, then forced
himself to go on. "Mister-could you
could now, give US a ride-just a little
one?'
The keeper laughed. Minnie's temper.
uncertain at best. had OF late grown
thing to be reckoned with care. The
thing was impossible, Of course. Still. the
children were mighty pleading-and the
keeper had youngsters of his own. He
was trying to frame a refusal that would
be gentle. Then he happened to glance
at Minnie.
Minnie's little eyes were almost kindly
She was trying her best to look demure.
"Dogged If I don't believe she under
stands and wants to ride EN-" the keeper
unused. Then: Guess I'll take a chance.
Come on, youngsters"
So the boy and girl were hoisted to Min
MES back. and once. twice, three times
she carried them about the elephant
yard, her little button eyes almost moth
erly, her every mincing step indicative
Of the pride that passeth all understand
ing. Her bad temper wac gone-utterly.
You couldn't have found a moro gentle
elephant in a days travel.
For the children had said that Minnie
was pretty.
And Minnie was vain.

A succession of shots late at night
often calls out the guard at Camp Ord
way and causes a furry there. The
shooting usually occurs to the west of
the camp, beyond Hatfield, the railroad

found. Some think the shots are fired
by farmers to protect gardens.
The guard at the camp is now well
armed, following a one-sided encounter

GROUND TO BE BROKEN IN FEW DAYS FOR BIG
 EXTENSION SHELTER
No Christmas Dividend De- clared, But Regular Divi- dend of 50 Cents Is Expect ed in Month of January.

JEROME, Dec 23-Ground will be Verde Extension company's smelter on the c. V. Hopkins ranch near Clark dale.
 No information has been given out regarding the capacity of the smelter but it is understood that the company hopes to have the plant in operation within fourteen months from the time work is actually commenced. This ap- pears to be almost impossible and few people expect to see the shelter blown in before two years have passed.
 The first material, if present plans are carried out, will be on the ground shortly after the first of the year.
 Until this smelter is completed the Extension must continue to market its ores at Douglas and Humboldt The deal for lease on the Swansea smelt. CT and railroad has finally fallen through.
 No extra Christmas dividend was declared. The directors have decided that earnings must be conserved for the purpose of building the shelter, putting down the new hoisting shaft, and other improvements. The regular quarterly dividend of 50 cents will be declared in January.
 For a mining company to pay divi- dends and build a smelter at the same time is something almost unprecedent- ed in the mining industry.
 Ore shipments have been moving forward a little faster than usual the last few days. Shipments have been made all this week at the rate of nine and ten cars a day.
