DISCOVER PLOT TO
 MURDER PRESIDENT
GOVERNMENT OFFICERS REFUSE TO MAKE KNOWN NAMES OF
 MEN ARRESTED.

Memphis, Tenn. Threats against President Wilson were intercepted by piecing together torn letter picked up in a railway coach, according to disclosures made public. here by Unit ed States Secret Service men.
 The announcement only said that persons charged with having written threatening letters to the president ars under arrest in half dozen cities and that one has confessed The gov ernment officers have declined to make public the names of persons un- der arrest.
 Every preeaution is taken to keep the names of the prisoners from being known. Secret Service officials ad- init, however, that one of the men un- der arrest lived in a town near Jack son, Tenn, and was a well known business man there for 30 years. He has been given a preliminary hear ing. and held to federal Grand Jury without bond. The other men are be- ing held for further orders from Wash ington.
 The ringleader Of the letter writers. who operated Independently of each other. is said to be, a wealthy man from Pickett county, Tennessee. He and two others from q town near Knoxville, two from near Nashville 2sd another in Cookeville, Tenn, are under arrest All, according to the Secret Sartrinn Tfr inn pliCated The man from Pickett coun- ty was to be sent to Washington early in November form an alliance with certain others there, and through his political acquGintances, gain an audi ence with the president and assassi nate him.
 A young daughter of one of the suspected men, living near Jackson, innocently furnished the first clew more than two months ago, when she overheard four men talking at meet ing in her fathers home. She told her aunt that some men were going to kill President Wilson," The child's uncle investigated then reported to the town authorities. Memphis Se- cret Service men picked up the miss ing ends by accidentally finding toL1 letter left in a train seat.
 Putting the pieces of the letter to- gether. officers learned it had been mailed to a man calling for his let ters at the general delivery in Mem phis
 The signature tO tha letter was "No. A." It was written at Knox vile. The officers followed one clew after another until they rounded up the man near Jackson, Tenn. Under a severe questioning, he confessed, federal authorities say, and gave the followed immediately.

BU2LES0N EXPLAINS
 TIE ESPIONAGE AUT
TRADING WITH THE ENEMY ACTS MADE CLEAR IN ITS RE
 LAYTON TO POSTAL SERVICE.

Washington.-The scope of the es- plonage and trading with the enemy acts, in so far as they affect the postal service, and how they are to be en- forced against disloyal publications are explained at length in a letter to publishers made public by Postmas- ter General BurIeson.
 The laws were maue necessary, Mr. Burleson said, by nationwide propa- ganda intended in every possible way to interfere with the successful prose- cution of the war. He added that no publisher who is at heart loyal to his country should have any apprehension of embarrassment or inconvenience 1 from their administration.
 No one connected with the govern ment," said the letter, from the pres ident down, seeks by reason of these laws to avoid criticism or even at tack, but no publication containing matter which falls within the prohibit tion of the law will be permitted to circulate"
 As interpreted by the posteffice, the acts make it unlawful for any person. firm, corporation or association to mail, or to transport, or carry or otherwise publish or distribute dur. ing the war any printed or other mat ter:
 First-Advocating or urging trea- son, insurrection CT forcible resistance | to any law of the United States.
 Second-Conveyfng false reports or false statements intended to interfere with the operation or success of the military or naval forces of the Unit ed States, or to promote the success of it's enemies.
 Third-Intended to cause insubord- nation. disloyalty, mutiny or refusal of duty in the military or naval forces of the United Statts.
 Fourth-Intended to obstruet the re- cruiting or enlistment service of the United States, to the injury of the services of the United States.
 Fifth-The circulation or publica- tion of which involves the violation of any of the numerous other criminal provisions of the espionage act, but which are not of special interest to publishers.
 SiXth-Printed in foreign Ian guage containing any news item, edi- torial or printed matter respecting the government of the United States, or of any nation engaged in the present war, it's policies, international rela- tions, the state or conduct of war or any matter relating thereto, unless the publisher or distributor thereof. on or before offering the same for mailing or any manner distributing it to the public, has filed with the post master at the place of publication, true and complete translation of the article.
 Seyenth-Referred to in the preced- ing paragraph for which publishers have been granted permit to circu- late, free Of restrictions named there in, but which does not bear at the head thereof in the English language the fact that such a permit has been granted

Washington.-The Liberty loan ap- parently has passed the $5,000.000 000 mark.
 A last day drive of Titanic propor- tions throughout the nation netted more than $1.000, 100000, and was be- iieved to have carried the total sev- eral million dollars beyond the max imum sum treasury officials had hoped for
 Federal reserve banks were strug- gling under an avalanche of last min ute subscriptions to form some idea of the grand total. Indications are that they will not complete their tab ulations for several days.
 At least S,000,000 persons through out the country wrote their names on application blanks. How many more did so will not be known until the final count, several days hence. The number may go as high as 1o,00O,000.
 Every district of the F appeared to have passed it's minimum, and indica- tions were that most of them had ex- ceeded the maximum as we'll
 An early tabulation of the returns, based upon estimates received from the reserve banks issued by the treas ury, showed a total of $4,555, ,000 000. This was admitted to be an underes- innate of the result At the hour the tabulation was made subscribers were standing in line in thousands of cities and towns throughout the coun- try, and most of the 26,000 banks were swamped with unreported subscrip- tions.
 50 confident were officials that the maximum total for the loan had been exceeded that they started their off cial announcement with the declara- tion that subscriptions to the second Liberty loan have passed $5,000,000,- 0OO."
 Prom every district" the state ment reads, "came the report that it was almost impossible to estimate to- tals, as the subscriptions were pour ing in so rapidly that it was with the greatest difficulty they were even be. ing recorded"

 Producing Centers Of Nation.
Fort Smith.

T bl J AEiLl4 Ll4

The com bined states produced 59.2 per cent of 2 full production The smallest pro duction previous to the week ending October was in the week ending July ', when it amounted to 616 per cent of a full production
 The department does not state what caused the big shrinkage. For the week ending September 29 the pro- duction of the two state amounted to 73.8 per cent of a full production. This was the highest since the week end ing July 2S, when Arkansas and. Okla homa produced 79 per cent.
 The production for the week ending October is 146 per cent less than the previous week. With but one ex- ception the Arkansas-Oklahoma pro duction was the lowest for that week in any of the coal producing centers of the nation. IL only exceeded the production of eastern Kentucky and Tennessee. where the mines are idle because of a strike.

PO0R BO0KkEEP'NI1
 IN ASHLEY COUNTY
ALLEGED SLiPSHOD METHODS DISCLOSED BY STATE
 COMPTROLLER
COVERED PERIOD OF 5 YEARS
Aedit Disclosed the Fact That Ex-Ohi. cials of That County Are Indebted To Ashley County in. the
 Sum of $11,3o0.1o.
Little Rock

Little ROCK
 W. T. Reynolds, state comptroller who made an audit of the books of several officials of Ashley county, has Sled his report with Circuit Judge Fur nor Butler. The audit, which covered a period of five years ending July 1, 1917, disclosed the fact that ex-ofiicials of that county are indebted to Ash ley county in the. sum of S11, 30G.18. Iae report completely eXonerates for ner Sheriff and Collector Hogan Oli- yer, who is now state auditor.
 In commenting upon the F items which MT. Reynolds listed as either irregularities or violation of the law, he said that exhibit B, schedule IT, re- ferred to collectors and deputy collec- tors purchasing orders or warrants of ttse county of which they are coIlcc- trs. When l saw the evidence In taae auditors report concerning the violation of section 7059 of Kirby's di- gest, it paralyZed me to the extent that ] was compelled to read same five or six times before l finally realized What had taken place." he says:
 Of exhibit c, relating to county bonds, MT. Reynolds said: You are well aware of the fact that ensures in a bond invalidates the instrument, especially if such erasures eliminate the possibility of showing the intent. He bond of the county treasurer H. E, Foote, was erased ard $75,000 in- serted in lieu of the $5O,000. This was a voluntary action on the part of MT. Feote, according to his own staterhent ts ours auditor. Another peculiar feat. Ose eennected with this bonY is that : fasthaugh $55.o0O'.was substituted, still taaes bond is qualified for only S72.O00. Frcm the above it will be seen that tse county has DO valid bond on it's treasurer's office"
 MT. Foote's books were well kept and showed efficiency The audit stkewed that out of the eour4y's 16 censtables, only five have taken the trouble to file bond.
 In regard to the law prohibiting any cefnlty judge from allowing any great CT sum for any account, claim, demand or fee bill against the county than the amount actually due, estimating dol. lar in county warrants at par with acfuas money, MT Reynolds said that. in spite of the law, the county's own records show that for the entire pc rsed under review it has been the GUS tenn of it's county judge to allow the issuance of warrants considerably in excess of the amount actually due and shat county scrip was figured at 50 cents on the dollar, when it's actual value was between 55 cents and S5 cents.
