LEADERS WORKING OUT
 LINEUP STATE CONVENTION

Little Rock, May 24.-The lineup for the state convention and the cen tral committee is being worked out by the Democratic leaders. As re- suit of conferences held here this week, the indications are that Joe w. House, Jr., will be selected as chair man to succeed Judge A. J. Walls: J, D. Head of Texarkana is the selec- ton of the Brough forces for chair man of the convention, which meets next Wednesday.
 At first, Mr. House was slated for the secretaryship of the Committee, but conditions arose which made it necessary to switch him to the higher position of chairman. Senator C. C.. Calvert of Sebastian is now slated for Secretary of the Committee, and Alex Il. Rowell of Pine Bluff for Secretary Of the convention. Mir. House has not yet signified his acceptance of the chairmanship, but it is not believed he will becline it.

SUFFRAGE LOSES IN
 PORTO RICAN BILL
Representatives of Suffrage Or ganizatiOns Out in Force in Galleries Show DisappOint- ment Over Failure Proposal

Washington, May 23.-The House struck from the Porto Rican biH to- day. by vote of 80 to 59, an amend ment designed to grant woman suf- frage to the islands. The bill then passed without roll call virtually as introduced.
 The vote on the amendment showed a complete disregard of party lines though more Democrats than Repub- licans voted against it.
 Representatives of suffrage organ izations were out in force in the gal leries and showed disappointment over the failure of the proposal.
 The bill gives the price on govern ment all of it's internal revenue re- gardless of whether the goods on which it is paid are used in Porto Rico or this country. Heretofore revenues on goods used in the United States have gone to the federal treas ury
 The measure now goes to the Sen ae.

PEACE, PROSPERITY,
 DEMOCRACY'S CRY
National Administration Will Follow Largely the Principles Advocated by the Missouri Convention.

Washington, May 23.-Work of putting into words the issues on which the administration plans to conduct the presidential campaign has been begun in earnest. Former Gov. Glynn of New York, who, as temporary chairman of the St. Louis convention, will deliver the keynote address, has tentatively prepared his speech, and it will be submitted to President Wilson shortly. The gen eral outlines of the Democratic plat form have also been agreed upon.
 It is understood the platform will follow the general lines of that adopt ed by the Missouri Democrats, al- though several blanks will be added. The Missouri platform was submitted to administration leaders before it's adoption.
 Peace and prosperity will be the main features of the Democratic plat form and also of MT. Glynn's address. The legislative record of the Wilson administration, particularly the cur rency bill, and claims that the ad- ministration has been of assistance to business and labor will also be in- cluded. The Monroe Doctrine, as explained by the president in ad- dresses, will be reiterated and stress laid on efforts of the government to foster trade and good relations with South and Central America.

Although the company is not composed of artists, there are are some good voices hidden away in the crowd. But don't come prepared to hear an artistic program or hear big music. Come prepared to have a dandy fine time and to see a good entertainment put on by group of young ladies, who not only know how to entertain but also know how to make you enjoy the fact that they are on the program. Remember the Co., lumbia Singing Orchestra-remembe it is going to be a patriotic, pleasing, popular program with enough differ. ent things doing to keep you guess ing.

The Arkansas Travellers Associa- tion will convene in Hot Springs June 16-17, and it is hoped we will have the largest attendance of the Travel CTS in the history of the Association.
 Fellow Travellers, if you are not now a member, you should become one, and thus become a great booster for Arkansas.

 You will find good people there. friends there, hospitality there, a good time in store for you and your wife, sweetheart, and friends in gen eral

THE MAYOR FORGOT.

Dardanelle, Ark, May 23.-C. c. Conley, recently elected mayor, gave orders to the marshal to strictly en- force the town ordinance that sup presses selling on Sunday. The first to appear before the mayor charged with this offense was clerk of Mayor Conley.
 It seems that the mayor, who has a hardware store here, had failed to inform his clerk of his order. The clerk was fined $10 and costs.

MEXICANS WILLING
 TO GIVE CHASE
In Spite of Large Force Mexi- cans Will Use, Some American Soldiers Will Remain Below the Rio Grande to Help.

Washington, May 23.-Reports to both the state and war departments today further indicated plans of the CarranZa government to prosecute pursuit of Chihuahua outlaw bands, while the American forces remained comparatively quiescent. Closely fol- lowing news of withdrawal from Mexico of the second American ex- petition sent from Boquillas, Texas, under Colonel Sibley and Major Langhorne information reached the state department that General Obre- gon had ordered 30,000 troops to en- gage in the bandit hunt in Chihuahua and along the Big Bend border.
 Delay in opening diplomatic dis cussion over the question of American troops remaining in Mexico also was indicated in official dispatches. State department officials said that receipt of the note being prepared by Car ranza was not expected before next week. It was thought probable that retirement of the Big Bend expedition to American soil had presented a new situation in connection with repre- sentations contemplated in General Carranza's new note.
 Secretary Baker said tonight that the SibleyLanghorne expedition was not withdrawn on orders from Wash ington.
 Whether the 116 national guards men of Texas, who refused to be mustered into the federal service shall be courtmartialed, has not been determined. Judge Advocate Gen eral Crowder today withdrew an opinion submitted to General Scott, chief of staff, which outlined the war departments authority and rules of procedure. General Crowder desires to consider whether the new army reorganization bill just passed by congress will affect the situation
 The record of the Texas guardsmen responding to President Wilson's call for border duty was defended today by Representative Slayden of Texas Less than three per cent of guards men have failed to answer the sum- mons," he said, "and in view of the fact that many of them have families to support and other affairs which might prevent their immediate res ponse, the proportion seems very small to me" Mir Slayden produced figures to show that the membership of the guard had increased in Texas within the last few months, and quoted General Funston as saying the Texas guardsmen had acquitted them selves in the Mexican situation.

BOARD OF CONTROL
 PREFERS CHARGES
Charges Were Outlined by T. J. Raney, Member BOard-Ad- dresses Delivered and Alarm ing Statements Made.

Little Rock, May 24.-The Board of Control of the state eleemosynary institutions have preferred their charges against the head of the State Hospital for the Treatment of Ner- vous Diseases, and he and his sub ordinates who are marked for dis missal will be given chance to be heard before the tribunal which pre- sents the charges.
 Dr. K. P. Bledsoe, superintendent. is charged with neglect of duty. The board will endeavor to show that he failed to devote his entire time to the institution, but spent the hours be- tween Il and each day in local clubs.
 Dr. Darnell is virtually charged with incompetency, in that he is not Ia diagnostician. The board also claims that Dr. J. L. Greene had found his services unworthy and had stated that he would require his dis missal if he again became superin- tendent of the institution. The board further claims that Dr. Bledsoe agreed to discharge Dr. Darnell as soon as he was familiar with the management of the hospital. Dr. Darnell is as sistant superintendent.
 The board also finds Dr. Pat Mur- Iphy incompetent and unworthy of the salary he receives. The board claims pr. Murphy was appointed at the solicitation of local physician, who afterward informed the board he had made a mistake.
 The dismissal of Mrs. Filing is asked because the board believes it can fill her position, which is merely clerical, at saving of about $75 per month. Mrs. Filing is classed as a disorganizer, and the board charges that she created dissention during the terms of Drs. Greene and Young.
 The other official whose dismissal is asked, a steward, was employed by the board to systematize the man. ner in which foodstuff was handled. and that work having been done, he is no longer required. This would be a saving of $100 per month,
 These charges were outlined by T. j. Raney. a member of the board, after Rev, Van Lear and Dr. Ander- son Watkins of Little Rock, had on Tuesday afternoon presented pro- test on the part of the citizens and physicians of Pulaski county, against any change in the management of the hospital. Dr. Watkins expressed high regard for the professional ability of the physicians the board asks to be dismissed, and Rev. Van Lear spoke, not for the head of the hospital, but of the evils which would arise through Reorganization of the forces.
 Omar Burnsides, another member of the board, spoke for quite a while
 defense of the board, saying it alone was responsible to the people for the care of the institution, and made some alarming statements re- garding conditions in the state hos pital, but they were not charged to the present administration.
 Dr. Bledsoe was not present at the open meeting of the board, but has stated he will resist any effort to ab- rogate the contract under which he assumed control of the state hos pital.
