WEDDING SECRET
 FOR OVER A YEAR

Had it not been for a searching investigation by his brother, Homer Lawrence, the revelation of the mar miage of J. L. Lawrence, a former student in Hendrix College of this city, to Miss Helen Dixon, which oc- cured nearly Ii months ago in the southeastern part of the state, might have been postponed indefinitely. Homer came to suspect that his younger brother was slipping some thig over him." and decided to go to the bottom of the affair. He searched the marriage license records in several counties, but it was not until two days ago that he found what he was looking for. When he confronted J. l.. with the informa- tion, the groom" made a complete confession. The nuptials were solemn ized on August 29, 1915. Mrs. Law renee lived at Kenyon, while Mr. Lawrence lives in Little Rock, being employed as a clerk at the Iron Mountain station.

SPECULATION AS 10 KIRBY'S SUCCESSOR GOVERNOR A POSSIBILITY
Rumor Says He May Resign to Re- ceive Appointment from Lieuten-
 ant-GOvernOr Kendall.

Little Rock, Oct. 9.-Judge Kirby will resign probably the latter part of November from the supreme court bench, leaving a vacancy to be filled temporarily by appointment by the governor. A special election must later be held. Within twelve hours after the nomination of Judge Kirby, at least three well known Democrats were being mentioned for the pros pectlve vacancy on the bench. They are former Circuit Judge Jeptha H. Evans of Bonneville; Chancellor w. A. Falconer of Fort Smith, and Chan cellor T. H. Humphreys of Fayette. vile. The sails of a goodly fleet of Wlllin' Barkises appear in the offing, although the governor declares he has already determined upon choice.
 It is known that Governor Hays himself would not be averse to hold ing seat on the supreme bench, but just how this could be brought about IS not very clear. Political sleight- ot-hand prophets say that the gov eIhor mlght resign and that Lem B. Kendall, as acting governor, could ap- point him to fill the vacancy on the bench, but such a suggestion is look ed upon as too remote and improb- able to merit consideration.
 The state ticket has closed. The Republicans have contributed $35O of their good money to the state for the provilege of demonstrating their con tinued claim to the distinction of be- ing the minirity party. A full ticket of presidential electors, United States senator, governor, congress- man in the Second, Third, Fifth and Seventh districts, and associate jus tlce of the supreme court are on their ticket.

The sensational activities of Ger man submarines off the coast of Mas sachusetts Sunday caused the cotton market to break badly today. The New York market opened 20 points lower than Saturdays close and was carried down to net loss of 50 points, but recovered and closed this after noon the same as it opened. On the local market the price was reduced S1 bale, average receipts bringing 16.30 cents, against l6 1-2 Saturday.

RAzORBACKS TRIM
 BULLDOGS, $ TOO HENDRIX II IS ROUTED
Greenness of Linemen Paramount Cause of Bulldogs Downfall
 Coach Headrick Says.

The greenness of the Bulldogs linemen Saturday afternoon was in the main responsible for Hendrix College losing to Coach McConnell's University eleven, Coach W. M Headrick said today The score was 58 to 0. The Bulldogs held the Razorhacks scoreless the first period, but in the second, they weakened perceptibly and the Fayetteville team rolled up 20 markers. Thirty eight more were made in the second half.
 Coach Headrick was almost dis gusted with his teams work. He expected them to show classier stuff. The new linemen seemed to be in ig- norance concerning the play through out the contest. However, it is en- couraging to hear Coach Bill say his men are capable and that within an- other week or two, his line will be one of the strong points of the team.
 The Bulldogs attempted only three forward passes during the game, and all worked well, large gains being made on each. Coach Headrick's charges found the University line stone, and they could not penetrate it for noticeable gains. End runs netted nice results at times, but often they were broken up.
 Arkansas made their principal gains via the aerial route and long end runs. Arkansas also annexed ground on the Bulldogs fumbles, which were frequent.
 "Ox" Bearden, Captain Wilson and Huland Holmes played the best game for Hendrix. Cochran, Davidson and Ban starred for the Razorbacks.
 The next game for Hendrix will be staged at Oxford, Miss, next Sat urday, when the Bulldogs will play Ole Miss. Last year our boys trim med the Mississippians on Russell

KILL ONE,
 |NJURf ANOTHER

South bound Iron Mountain passen- ger trains on the Central division were peculiarly unfortunate Sunday morning, train No. 105 killing one man at Morrilton and train No. 131 probably fatally injuring another at Atkins.
 Will Faucett, night policeman, 46 years old, was run over at Morrill, ton by Iron Mountain passenger train No. 105 at 4:45 Sunday morning and died at TOP a. m. For three days he had been working at night as police man and in the daytime buying cot tonseed, getting practically no sleep. While waiting for the morning pas senger train tc come in he sat down by the side of the track on the station platform and after, talking to per sons who were waiting to take the train, fell asleep. The train was al most in the yard at the time. The engineer said he did not see Faucett Night Operator J. W. Lindsey said the bell was ringing at the train came
 in. Both Faucets feet were crush ed off and he suffered other injuries. His body was dragged about a car length. MT. Faucett is survived by his wife and four children, Ben, Laverne, Imogene and Embry, his father and mother, MT. and Mrs. J.. R. Faucett, and a brother, Tom Eau cett, all of Morrilton.
 At Atkins, Cap Wheeler, 25 years cid, of Russellville, thought he would save walking back to his relatives home from Atkins by jumping from an Iron Mountain passenger train two miles west of Atkins. He was so badly injured that physicians say his recovery is doubtful,

SIX VESSELS SUNK
 NEAR US. COAST
BY GERMAN SUBMARINES
Naval Warfare Takes New Turn May Be Considered No Violation
 of International Law.

Boston, Oct. 9.-The submarine arm of the imperial German navy ravaged shipping off the eastern coast of the United States Sunday. Four British, one Dutch and one Norwegian steam CTS were sent to the bottom or left crippled derelects off Nantucket Shoals.
 So far as known there was no loss of life, though at late hour last night the crew of the British steamer Kingston had not been accounted for.
 A submarine held up the American steamer Kansan, bound from New York for Genoa with steel for the Italian government, but on establish ing her identity allowed the American to proceed. The Kansan came into Boston harbor late last night for her usual call here.
 The hostile submarine is believed to be the U-53, which paid call to New port yesterday and disappeared at sunset. Some naval men, however, declared that at least two submarines are operating close to the American shore, though outside the three-mile limit
The log cabin Democrat., 1916-10-09

Washington, Oct. D. Submarine warfare at the very doors of the United States, with all it's spectacular features, does not necessarily portend further complications with Germany so long as it is carried on within the limitations of international law.
 That is the view of official Wash ington on the record of one days op- erations in which none of the ships destroyed appears to have been at tackled without warning or without proper measures having been taken for safety of those aboard.
 Mechanically, at least, in interna- tlonal law, an allied ship destroyed by German submarine just outside the three mile limit and in sight of Amer ican shores, is no different than a ship destroyed in the Arctic ocean, provid- ed it's destruction is accomplished in accordance with the laws of the na- tions.
 It makes little difference on what parts of the seas Germany prosecutes her newest submarine campaign, but officials and diplomats see a situation filled with so many possibilities that it is almost impossible to enumerate them so long as commerce is menaced
 The presence of German submar inc flotilla near American territorial waters, officials fear, may raise per picking questions of neutrality, and in fact, most serious issue would be raised if the operations of the sub mersibles were carried on so near American ports as practically to con- stitute a blockade.

CHURCH ASKS TO
 GET MONEY FROM
 BIG BOUT PROFITS

New York, March 2s.-Since it be- came known that Tex Rickard, pro
 noter of the Willard Moran fight at the Garden Saturday night, would make a profit of more than $40, ,o00 on the contest he has been ,besieged with letters asking donations for various charitable purposes. One of the most interesting letters which Rickard re- ceived yesterday1was from an Episco- pal church in Reidvi1le N. C., which is trying to pay off the debt.
 The letter was written to Mrs. Rick ard by the wife of one of the church wardens. who asked that MT. Rickard give part of the proceeds of the tfbig fight to the church to be used toward paying off the debt After the Jeffries- Johnson fight in Reno in 1910 Rickard received many requests from churches for donations and he contributed $935 to one Episcopal church in Nevada to pay for the new pews which had been placed in the building.
