HAS CONSERVATION PLAN
Governor Brough Will Offer sugees.
 tons To Defense Council.

At the next meeting of the State Council of Defense. Governor Brough will make three suggestions for con. servation made to him within the last few days. The first is that, beginning the first of March, and continuing through the spring and summer, all business houses in the state engaged in commercial activities be required to close not later than D. m., to give the employees time to work their gar dens and thus increase vegetable pro- duction. The second is that the State Councils of Defense in the cotton belt should require laborers and their fam flies to be supplied with goods at cash price until the busiest season is over, before settlement is made. The loss of several days time in settling up with employers would be saved during the fall months when negro cot ton hands make settlement. The third suggestion is that a reasonable cur tailment of circuses that come to the state and make a big "rake off" each year be ordered. It is reported that more than TO circuses visit Arkansas every year.

Dr. c. w. Garrison, state health of. fioer, is in receipt of protest from the Hot Springs Business Mems League, protesting against any further publicity being given to the smallpox situation in Arkansas, declaring that such publicity was hurting business at Hot Springs, and caused threat of an interstate quarantine.
 The protestants wished to lay the matter before Dr. Garrison personally, but he told them that such a course would be unnecessary. Dr. Garrison informed the parties that there was no danger of an interstate quarantine if the compulsory vaccination law was obeyed, and that in the future he would prosecute any one who violated, who advised, urged or induced others to violate the law.
 Dr. Garrison further informed the Hot Springs parties that he found pub licity one of the most valuable means of enlightening the people.

 Little Rock.

Little Rock
 The Supreme Court reversed the Pulaski Circuit Court in quashing the against Municipal Judge Gerlach by the Argenta City Council, which re- moves Judge Gerlach from office
 Judge Gerlach was impeached March 8, 1917.
 After being impeached by the city council, Gerlach petitioned for a writ of certiorari. The impeachment pro- ceedings were reviewed by Judge Hendricks and the writ was granted, thereby reinstating Judge Gerlach in office. Former Mayor J. P. Faucetre and the city council then appealed the case to the Supreme Court.
 The Supreme Court held that the Pulaski Circuit Court erred in grant ing the writ asked for by Gerlach. Ger lach's main contention was that Mord Roberts, member of the city council at that time, whose vote was secured for his impeachment, was not a qualified elector. The court held that there was no merit in this eontention-tha Roberts was de facto officer, and that his position had not been at tackled
 The municipal jdge also contended that a part of the impeachment pro- ceedings were held in secret. In com menting on this contention the court said that the council, acting as a court of impeachment, had right to priva- cy for the matter of deliberation.
 w. H. Ramsey, member of the North Little Rock exemption board, who was appointed by Gov. Brough followir the impeachment of Judge Gerlach, will be automatically reseated as judge by the decision. He stepped out of of flee when the impeachment proceed ings were quashed.

 SO CARS OF COAL.
HOT SPRINGS NEEDS FUEL
Output of Mines Heavily curtailed By Weather Conditions-Messen Are Sent To Coal Fields To
 Speed Up Operations.
Little Rock

LlDJl0 fI0ch.-- Fuel Administrator H. c. Couch re- moved the embargo on wood ship ments placed on Little Rock railroads several days ago, scarcity of fuel hav- ing been reported at several points in the state as well as Little Rock. Hot Springs is facing the same situation and the fuel administrator asked rail- road men to send special train carry ing coal there.
 An attempt to move about 60 cars of coal on siding at Hubert to points in the state was made by the Rock Is land. About a third of these cars will be brought to Little Rock.
 Weather conditions heavily curtail- ed the production of coal at mines in the Greenwood, Bonanza and Hartford sengers into this territory to speed up operations.
 The gas service is improved, and Is due to economy practiced in Pine Bluff, Prescott, Malvern and other cit ies along the main line. MT Couch, who returned from Pine Bluff, said that picture houses, pool rooms and all non essential places of business had been closed, and in this way much coal and gas were saved.
 All other business houses in these cities, especially Pine Bluff, are clos ing at 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon. Every possible effort to conserve gas and coal is being made" said MT. Couch.
