BILL FOR $S5O,OOO
BOND issue PASSES
Will Clean Up All Old Debts
and Put State on Cash
Basis Again

Gov. Brough's chief legis-
lative measure, that of the is
suance of $750,000 bonds, has
passed both houses of the legis-
ature, and will likely be signed
by the governor today, accord
ing to late reports from Little
Rock.
The bill had already passed
the senate and was voted upon
in the house yesterday, follow
ing a special message from the
governor, urging its passage.
Under provisions of the bill,
the $750,000 will be used in
paying Indebtedness of the
State on July l, 1917. None of
it can be used for meeting ap-
preparations made by the 1917
legislature. The bonds issued
will be retired serialy, the first
in five years and the last with
in 20 years. A one-eight mill
tax for the first four years, be-
ginning in 1917, will be levied
to meet the interest and that
part of the principal falling
due. After the fourth year and
until the notes all are retired
a one-fourth mill tax will be
levied, the present State CAPT
toll tax of one-eighth of one mill
will be discontinued. Interest
on the bonds cannot exceed
five per cent.
The bill carried with it a
$4,000 appropriation to meet
debt incurred in negotiating
the bonds, which will be in
$500 and 81, 000denominations
and to pay interest falling due
before the first revenues from
the special tax can be collected.

JOKER DISPLAYS DRY
BONE, EMPTY BOTTLE

What might be taken as a
grim protest against the pres
ent dry" conditions in Ark
ansas was noticed Tuesday
morning in the show window
of the only vacant building on
Front street.
A very large bone about IA
inches long and apparently as
dry as cork was found stand
ing by the side of an empty
quart bottle that was labelled
"Arkansaw Corn Whiskey."
On top of the bone was a pair
of dice that looked as though
they were enjoying a rest from
much hard rolling and scatter
ed around the dry bone and
empty bottle were some cards
that were somewhat frayed
around the edges and looked
as if they might have been glad
to enjoy a rest.
The "display' attracted
quite a good deal of attention
when it was discovered Tues
day morning and the apparent
sarcasm of the joke created a
good deal of merriment.

THREE PASSENGERS
KILLED in WRECK
Engine Runs Into Rock Island
Train and Score or More
Are Injured

Three persons were killed
and more than a score injured,
two probably fatally, when a
Cotton Belt railroad engine col
lided with the rear of a Rock
Island passenger train, east
bound from Little Rock, to
Memphis late Saturday night
in a dense fog at Mounds, a
few miles west of Memphis.
R. L. Leonard, a planter, of
Memphis; A. H. Williams, an
employee of a lumber concern
at Hubert, Ark, and Benjamin
Owens of Memphis were killed.
Morris F. Watson of Hubert
and E. L. Madden of Memphis
may die. Several others were
seriously hurt, but it is believ-
ed they will recover. None of
the trainmen was seriously in
jured.
Responsibility for the acct
dent has not been determined.
Railroad officials said that a,
statement probably will be
made after an investigation to
be held at the division head
quarters Of the Rock Island
lines in Little Rock.
According to persons who
were on board the wrecked
train, the engine, running as an
extra, bore down on the pas
senger train while it was stand
ing at Mounds, a flag station,
and plowed it way into the
rear coach, causing it to tele-
scope the car ahead, splinter
ing the timbers and twisting
the steel work of the two cars
into a tangled mass. Several
passengers were pinioned I'M
der the wreckage, but with the
assistance of the uninjured pas
sengers and farmers, attracted
to the scene by the crash and
the cries Of the injured, allwere
released within a short time
and taken to Hubert, where
they were placed aboard re-
lief train, and taken to Mem
phis.
The two roads use the same
tracks into Memphis.

Germany Will Sink Boats
of Any Nation Found
in Enemies Waters
Germany's New WarCampaign
to be Most Ruthless the
World Ever Knew

Washington, Jan. 31.-Ger-
many has declared unrestricted
submarine warfare.
A starvation blockade ofEng-
land, the like of which the
world never has seen, was an
nounced to the world today in
notes delivered to American
Minister Gerard in Berlin and
to the State Department here
by Count Won Vernstoff. Thus
begins the long-feared cam
paign of ruthlessness conceived
by Won Hindenburg, it is said
here, on a magnitude never
even contemplated by Won Tir-
pitt.
Again the United States
faces severance of diplomatic
relations with Germany with
all its possibilities.
Germany's action is the sup
er-crisis of all those that have
stirred the American govern
ment in two and a half years
OF world war.
Peace and means of preserv-
ing peace have gone glimmer-
ing. President Wilson, incred-
ulous at first when the unoffi-
cial text of Germany's warning
was brought to him, at once
called for the official docu-
ment, which had just been pre-
sented to Secretary Lansing by
the German ambassador. Mr..
Lansing refused to comment.
President Wilson began at once
a careful study of the docu-
ment.
On almost every side Ger
many's drastic action is inter
