HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
 RETURNS AUTOMOBILE

Little Rock, May 5.-The refusal of State Auditor Hogan Oliver to honor q warrant drawn on the state treas ury by the Highway Department in the purchase of an automobile, has resulted in the return of the automo- bile to the dealer. The officials of the department purchased the machine, asserting that it was necessary to the economical conduct of the office. Auditor Oliver declared there was no authority by which the purchase could be made, it being not a necessity for the operation of the department. He therefore declined to issue a voucher on the warrant.
 Attorney General John Arbuckle was consulted, and he sided with Au- ditor Oliver. The machine was then returned and a warrant drawn for slOO, to pay for the use of the ma chine for a month. This warrant was also refused by Auditor Oliver, and settlement was made otherwise.
 Commissioner Owen states that the saving to the State through the use of an automobile is so great that it is economy to purchase one, and he hopes yet to find a way to place one at the disposal of the state highway engineers.

RAILROAD COMMISSION
 ORDERS REDUCTION

Little Rock, May 5.-The Arkansas Railroad Commission has issued an order reducing to 20 per cent the amount of manufactured product to be reshipped on railroad in Arkan- sas to secure milling in transit rates on peach baskets and similar mater ial. The gum logs are shipped to the mill, and there manufactured into baskets, with considerable loss in the process. The millers claim they can make only 20 per cent into bask- cts, and this caused the ruling by the commission. A higher per centage

ROCHAMBEAU FIGHTS
 SUBMARINE AN HOUR
Persons on French Liner Believe U-BOat Was Hit SkillfuI Maneuvering of the Rocham- beau Saved Her.

Paris, May 4.-On Monday after noon at 3 o'clock Prussian subma- rine a quarter of mile away fired a torpedo at the Rochambeau, missing her stern by not more than 10 yards. Then began running fight of an hour, during which IA shots were fired from the stern "75" gun. The belief is general that the U-boat was hit when she rose the second time half mile astern.
 It was the Rochambeau's first en- counter of the war.
 The calmness of the men, women and children was marvellous. Youth full ambulance drivers lined the rails and climbed the donkey mast ropes, better to see the fight, leveling their glasses and taking pictures. Their excitement was in the sport, nothing more.
 More than 90 per cent of the pas sengers were allowed to stroll the decks and watch the approach of the torpedo from off the portside and see it disappear to starboard. So quickly did the gun crew get in action some are certain that the first crash was the explosion of the torpedo and like wise the crack of doom for the sub marine.

FEW VIOLATIONS OF NEW
 FISH AND GAME LAW

Little Rock, May 5.-The Game and Fish Commission held its monthly meeting at the state capitol Friday and received some very encouraging reports from wardens as to the en- forcement of the law. A few traps had been found and destroyed, and there was a little illegal fishing, but no violations of the law by market fishermen were reported.
 Secretary Little informed members of the commission that he had been over on White river, and talked with the fishermen, who all expressed them selves as being highly pleased with duced their monthly earnings, but at the same time it conserved the fish supply, and insured them a chance to make a living as fishermen for many years.
