Manslaughter, To His ExcelIency, Charles H.
 Brough, Governor of Arkansas:
 The petition of the undersign- ed respectfully represents that we are business men or the City of Prescott, that Joe Mccain was indicted on a charge of murder in the first degree for the killing of J. P. Slagle, and on the day of March 1917 pleaded guilty to manslaughter and is now serv- ing a sentence in the State pen itentiary; that he has been con- fined in prison since the 29th day of July 1916, more than one year; that he is a young man and was IS years cid when the killing was done; that the evidence was conflicting (at the trial of his father and brother) as to who was the aggressor; that the said Joe Mccain was severely wound ed in the difficulty. his intestines being perforated with bullets; that his father was shot in the hip joint and will be cripple for lie.
 That we have information that the health of Joe Mccain is not good, and on account of his eX- treme youth and that he has al ways had good reputation, and his injuries and incarceration in the jail and the pententiary We feel that he has been sufficiently punished and therefore pray your Excellency, in the exercise of reasonable Executive Clemency to grant the said Joe Mccain a pardon, and we will ever pray.

MID-EUROPEANS TO

Boundary Discussion Brings
Discord.

PHILADELPHIA. oct. 25.--With all its
aims clearly defined, the conferences OF
the Democratic Mid-European Union
which have been going on In Indepen-
dence Hall came to an end to-day. A
new liberty will be proclaimed here to-
morrow for these small oppressed ma
lions, whose delegates assert that there
must be an absolute freedom for all tho
races therein.
Nothing short OF an absolute pleois-
cite can be accepted for the new States.
said Prof. Masaryk. president OF tho
council. who insisted that there must be
n vital minority representation. one that
must be granted unrestricted rights
Discussion Of boundaries caused some
discord among the delegates to-day and
led to heated arguments and the threat
of Jugo-Slav delegate to withdraw
from the conference, after he had torn
TO shreds n small map showing the To-
cation of each nations territory.
1t was explained by the president of
the council that the map had been
brought into the conference room merely
for the purpose Of cnlightenlng American
people on the lay of the ground. He
also said the draft was not an official
one.

NEW ACKNOWLEDGES
ROAD IS PROPOSED
Voters to Pass on Necessary
Amendment.

A new route through the Adirondack
may be made possible by approval OF an
amendment 20 the Constitution 30 be
submitted to the voters at this, election.
II will make possible the construction OF
n road through the State Forest Pre-
serve in the Adirondacks. At present
the only means OF entering this part OF
the State on good roads Is from the
Albany district by way OF Lake George
or from the northern district by way Of
Plattsburg and Malone,
A, road runs from Utica north to Old
Forge, but from Old Forge north there
Is no way OF again reaching the road
which runs up from Albany. Between
Old Forge and Long Lake are dirt roads
and a twelve mile stretch Of the forest
preserve The Attorney General has
construed the present law, which pro-
vides that the forest preserve shall be
kept as Wild forest lands. on which no
timber shall be removed or destroyed, MS
preventing even the State from con-
structing a road on It's own land SO II
Ia proposed in Amendment No. to
make possible such road by adding TO
article Z. section Z, OF the State Con-
stltution, forbidding such removal Of
trees, the words:
%Nothing contained In this section
shall prevent the State from construct
ing A State highway from Saranac Lake
in Franklin county to Long Lake in
Hamilton county and thence to Old
Forge In Herkimer county by way of
Blue Mountain lake and Racquette
Lake" ...
George II. Pratt Conservation Com
missioner. Is strongly in favor of the
proposed amendment as providing the
only means of access into the heart of
the Adirondacks from the west and
southwest, and an additional advantage
will be that travellers will be able TO
pass through this beautiful section OF
the State from east to west instead Of
being compelled to retrace their stens us
at present. Commissioner Pratt believes
that the law to prevent the State lands
from spoliation was never intended to
prevent the construction of a needed
highway. az the law was inserted in the
Constitution before the good roads move
ment was begun in this State. lie urges
the people to vote favorably on the
amendment. -,

Gov. Charles 3. Whitman, In the
course OF four speeches last night In
New York City, took occasion to make
what was taken as reply to President
Wilson's appeal for the election of
Democratic candidates at the fail cleo
ton. 1t was at the gathering at Leslie
Hall a: Eighty-third street and Broad
way, where 500 persons greeted him,
that the Governor sent n thinly yelled
shaft In the direction of the White
House
The Governor had Just read a list
OF the men named as deputies by Alfred
j.. Smith when he was sheriff of New
York county. When he had concluded
the reading he said:
They reflect the type of men he
would appoint should he be elected
chief executive OF this State. DO not
permit this evil thing to come TO pass
under the impression that you are sup
porting Democratic President who
has been supported by the Republican
members of the Congress and by the
Republican governor of this State better
tran he has ever been supported by

The Governor opened the address by
insisting that Mr. Smith and Tammany
