NO MEMBERS OF THE
 I. W. ". IN ARKANSAS

Little Rock, Aug. 22.-E. I. Me Kinley, deputy state labor commits sioner, believes that there are no members of the I. W. W. in Arkansas, and believes further that their num- Der in the whole country has been more or less exaggerated. He says that they are a dissatisfied faction of the western miners organization, and that he thinks there are not more than 10000 of them. They are not recognized by the reputable labor or ganizations of the country.

r,,orv Mine in Country Affected hI hy Presidents Order-Profits of Middlemen and Retailers to
 Be Set.

washington. Aug. 21.-Bituminous
 =, rricos were fixed by President w;I.on m tonight for every mine in the 1r.;+od States. The next step in coal oortrol White House announcement ..;d will be to fix the prices to be oh.roed by middlemen and retailers.

Questions on General Policy
' to Be Followed
By gibson GARDNE Err.

Washington, April 10.-Who IS to
exercise the war-making power? Who
is to determine questions of strategy
and general war policy? In a word,
who il to. wage the war? Is 1t to be
congress, the president, a board or
the newspapers? w
Pres dent Wilson is nominally COM
mander-in-chief OF the army and ma
Wy. But the president is not mill
tary man, and besides, he has con-
siderable to do being president.
Will there be board Of strategy?
Will the president and his cabinet be-
come automatically board of STRAIT
egy? Will the power be taken over
by the general staff Of the army?
Will the real responsibility be divided
between Secretary of War Newton D.
Baker and Secretary of the Navy Jo-
sephus Daniels?
Will the Office of adjutant general
become the center of power and infll-
ence as when Corbin reigned during
the Spanish-American war?
Who will decide such questions as:
Shall a division Of the regular army
be sent to France at once or shall no
soldiers go until million men are
trained?
Shall the navy act on the defensive
alone or cooperate with the British
navy?
Shall the volunteer plan be tried
before CONSUMPTION is enforced?
Shall the United States make an al
lance with the Entente Powers and
agree to 90 through to the end OF
shall we wage a war of our own?
Shall minister Of munitions be
created or coordinate the munitions
business, or shall it be left to the diff
ferent bureaus of the war and navy
departments?
Shall the food situation be left tC
drift or shall the government grapple
with it and handle it as other war
ring powers have done?
Shall the railroads be taken over by
the government or shall they be per
mitted to muddle along as at pres
emit?
These are a few of the problem:

against the owner, which amounts to

Anna Peterson Larcum was COM
mitted from Trail county in 1890.
She had resided there but short
time following her release from the
Minnesota hospital for the insane at
St. Peter. There is now question as
to whether she should not have been
returned to Minnesota when first adj
judged insane, or whether the state Of
Minnesota cannot be required to pay
for her q years care at the hands of
North Dakota. Trail county has de-
clined to foot the bill.
In another Trail county instance
which the state auditor has recently
investigated, nothing has been paid
for the care of a man committed in
1894. The county claims that the pa
tient was nonresident. The state
auditor asserts, however, that during
recent visit to Trail county he
found that the records show the pa
tient upon being committed asked
