Panic Was Averted.
The explosion was not only heard
within a radius of many miles from
the zone. including London and subur-

broke windows a long distance away
In normal times panic prooably
would have resulted in the theaters

l8,000,000 In U. s.
 Available to Fight

New York, Feb. 6.-In a serious nearly 1S,000,000 men are available for military service in the United States, according to an estimate made by the executive committee of Mayor Mitchel's com mittee on national defense. There are now physically fit for service in the field, it was said, 10,5E,940 men between the ages of IS and 45 years.
 Upon the basis of actual eXper- fence of other countries where universal military service prevails the committee has calculated that out of 900, 1000 men annually reach ing military age in the United States 690,000 are fit for military ser vice, according to the French stand ard of 1910, and 459, ,000, according to the German standard of that year.
 The committee in estimating the nations resources in men between Is aud 45 years available for mili- tary service after deductions for "morbidity," physical defects, in- dustrial necessities and dependency of families, places the number at 4,77S,050.

the salary law for the judges, and that it gave them too much lati- would furnish incentive for some of them. to be away from home all the time. Those who favored the bill argued that the judges do not receive sufficient salary to pay their expenses when away from home. To this the opposition replied that they knew the salary before they sought the office, and hence had no com plaint on that score.
 The Greenhouse bill to require the Frisco railroad to construct a trestle across Wall street in Fay etteville, was passed, the only local measure to receive time of the sen ate.
 The senate went into executive session about three minutes just long enough to call the roll on the confirmation of Monroe Smith as Q member of the tax commission. He was conformed without a dissenting vote.
 Women may practice law in Ar kansas if the Brown bill, passed with only Senator Burgess voting in the negative, receives ass much consideration in the house.
 Twelve bills were introduced in the senate in the afternoon session, the most important of which is the Garrett bill to create public util- ity commission. This bill, 251 type written pages, extends the jurisdic- tion of the Arkansas railroad com mission to include public utilities of all kinds, gives it more clerical help, and provides for better system of regulating railroad rates.
 The most generous salary bill for county officers came from Senator Hester, who would give the Sebas- tian county officials: County judge $2500, clerk, $6000, circuit and chancery clerk, 6OO0 sheriff S4500, and 2500 as collector and 50 cents per meal for prisoners; treasurer $4000, assessor, surveyor, county $2000.
 Other important general bills were by: Burgess, to permit a plaintiff in personal injury suit against electric company, to bring action in county where he resides Bush, providing state aid for rural high schools; Caldwell, requiring sheriff to collect taxes of improve ment districts outside cities and towns; Carter, Collins, Brown, ere ating Southeast Arkansas levee dis trict, absorbing all districts now existing in that section of Arkan- sas; Ward, permitting improvement districts in cities to purchase elec- tric and water plants; Duty, creat- ling 18th chancery district composed of Washington, Benton, Carroll and Madison counties; Smead, creating office of state comptroller; Goodwin exempting Iszard, Fulton and Bax- ter counties from general tick erad- ication bill; and Senator Garrett introduced a bill to prohibit the op-

Judge Frierson
 Resigns Position
(From Tuesdays Daily Press)

Judge Chas. D. Frierson, chancel- Tor of this, the Twelfth district, has resigned his office, effective Thurs day, February 8, and Gov. Brough has appointed Archer Wheatley of Jonesboro, formerly associated with N. F. Lamb in the practice of law, as successor to Judge Frierson. Lo- cal attorneys stated this morning Mir Wheatley is one of the bright est young lawyers in this section of the state and they predict he will make fine record as chancellor.
 Judge Frierson was appointed chancellor six years ago when the district was divided by an act of the legislature. The upper tier of counties made new district and Chancellor E. D. Robertson of Wynne, who had served the old dis
 trict, continued as chancellor of the lower tier of counties. Judge Frierson's record on the bench has been an exceptionally fine one. In fact, lawyers from all sections of the state who have practiced in his court have frequently remarked that in their judgment Chancellor
 Frierson is one of the ablest judges on any bench in Arkansas. Judge Frierson stated last night l to a report for The Press that the pay for district judges in this state | is so small and the expenses of
 traveling\ and living in hotels SC high that he could no longer af-
 ford to continue on the bench He
 has formed a partnership with N. F Lamb of Jonesboro, one of the most l successful practitioners in this sec l tion of the state.
 The decision of Chancellor Frier- son to resign will occasion genuine
 regret upon the part of the attor- neys of this district as well as with those who have business in
 the chancery court.

 Considerable good argument was spilled on the Adamson bill to pro vide a contingent fee of $5 per day for chancellors and circuit judges when away from home. This bill was defeated IS to 16, but notice was given that a reconsideration would be askde for. It was assert ed by those who opposed the bill that it was only an effort to evade

Miners Union Must
 Defend Damage Suit

Washington, Feb. 5.-The United States supreme court this afternoon denied the petition of the United Mine Workers for a review of the decision of the Arkansas courts which held the union must defend itself against an action for more than a million dollars damages in- stituted by Arkansas mining com panies in connection with the al legged dynamiting of plants in the Prairie Creek district of Sebastian county two years ago. The union held it was an unincorporated body and hence could not be sued as a body.
