Democratic papers are largely ig- noring Lamar Cobb and the speeches which he is making all over the state. Cobb directs some pretty hard shots at the other Democratic candidates for governor. His particular meat is Wiley Jones, whose machinations he exposes in good style. Cobb is speak ing from trucks and soap boxes. Hav- ing been on the inside of the Hunt ad- ministration for the past four or five years, he is pretty familiar with it's workings, and some of the things he is saying are worrying the governor and his followers.

HOPE FADES FOR
 RATIFICATION AS
 RETURNS COME IN

Little Rock, Dec. 17.-Official fig ures on the vote ill last Saturdays election. in which the proposed state constitution was defeated, should be- gin to come in late Tuesday and by Wednesday night or Thursday vir- tually complete and official vote for the state should be available
 The few additional returns made Tuesday only served to emphasize the defeat of the proposed organic law.
 It is believed that the complete off cial vote will show that the constitu- tion was defeated by about 100 votes, with a total of perhaps 5000 votes cast.
 In most of the counties the. votes will be canvassed Wednesday, but in some counties they will not be tabu- lated and counted until Thursday. Un- der the act calling the proposed con- stitution, five days are allowed for eleition officials to canvass and report the vote.
 Some friends of the defeated meas ure still are looking to eastern Arkan- sas to sway the result, but it has been conceded by others that eastern Ar kansas cannot change the defeat to a victory.

MURDER MYSTERY IS
 NEARING SOLUTION

MuskoGen. Mich, Dec 17. -- With the probable arrival here tomorrow of acquaintances and relatives of Miss Frieda Weichman, who claim to have known Milo H. Piper, before his alleged bigamous marriage to the girl, authorities declared tonight they were nearing a solution of her mys- terious death and burial in lonely roadside grave near here ill 1916.
 Mir and Mrs. Charles F. Whitney, of Chicago, at whose home Miss fWeichman lived prior to her marri age, and where Piper is said to have called upon her frequently, have been called to Malskegon to identify the local insurance man held as the girls slayer. The Rev. Paul G. Curnick, of, Indianapolis, who married Miss Weichman, and man giving the name of M. H.. Piper at Rensselaer,, Indiana, in March, 1916, also is on his way here. Mrs. w. F. klinke, of Chicago, an aunt of the dead girl, will come to Muskegon official said, and bring friends who claim to have identified Pipe by his photographs as the man who paid court to Miss Weichman.
 Officials continued to question the accused man today, but he stoutly maintained his innocence.
 Three mysterious figures injected into the case of Milo H. Piper, ac- cused of having killed Miss Frieda Weichman of Chicago, were being sought by the police today Accord ing to Piper who was brought here from Hamilton, Ontario, to face the murder charge, any of these persons whom he named as Jack Goldberg" John Sheldon," and Edward Ben ton," can substantiate his story that Steldon used the name of "M. H. Piper" in marrying Miss Weichman at Rennsselaer, Ind, in March, 1916. According to Prosecuting Attorney Broeck, Piper told him that, several months after Miss Weichman's mar riage to Sheldon" the latter gave her to him to live with as his wife Piper and Miss Weichman, he ad- ded travelled about in an automobile for some time, registering in various cities as man and wife. Benton" Piper said accompanied him. He insited, however, that he knew noth- ing of the girls death.

SORGHUM PLANT IN
 DANGER OF GOING
 TO ANOTHER CITY
Not Sufficient Acreage Yet Pledged to Make it a Certainty That This Enterprise Will Come Here.

''I don't like the idea of saying Pine Bluff has fallen down on any propo- sition," said Secretary Bloom of the Chamber of Commerce last night, 'nor am l ready to say it yet. The business element of this city is not made of that kind of stuff. Howev- CT, the sorghum plant is not yet cinched, and I have seen many things that looked brighter to me.
 q am sorry to say that the very people who should be most inter ested are taking very little interest. These are the small farmers. The larger land owners see the necessity and importance of this plant, and some are willing to pledge large acreage, but it is the smaller farmer the Chamber of Commerce and the sorghum company want interested. 1t is much more preferable to have large number of small farmers pledge this acreage, and have the money which the summer crops wall bring, when purchased by the com pany, than to have few pledge a large number of acres. .,,.
 i've want every farmer within this trading territory to be interest, ed. One geltleman yesterday agreed to plant any number of acres Tn sor, oh,1m up to 300 acres. He will keep his word. but it is more pre- ferab1e to have 600 pledge this amount than for one man.
 "As stated, have seen proposl- lions that look brighter. but those behind the Ft. Scott Sorghum plant are not quitters. A meeting was held at the chambers tonight by the Industrial committee, and 1t was de- cided to send committees out Wednes, 5, day and continue the work tlll 11hursday night. "Mr. Richardson while having received orders to come home. and pass up this town, yet It ] is believed the acreage can be se- cnred and he can be reached by wire hefore he can reach headquarters ana report that Pine Bluff has fallen down. In fact we confidently expect him to make different report
 The committees who went out Monday, did not secure as hlans pledges as expected, but there are al: now pledges 1883 acres, and condi- tional pledges which will make the total possibly 245O acres, .
