Whether the food ministry will BE-
continued after the war depends on how
long the war lasts, but II is clear the
conditions created will not suddenly
disappear when II is ended and for a
considerable time the allied nations will
be required to act in cooperation both
as regards supplies and prices until
normal conditions re-appear,'

PURCHASE HOME WITH SEN. WHITE
 MEMORIAL FUND
Dwelling at 1903 West Bar, raque to be Presented
 to Mrs. White.

The dwelling at 1903 West Barra que street was purchased yesterday by the committee in charge of the T.. c. White memorial fund and as soon as some minor improvements are made it will be turned over to the widow and children of the man who IS credited with starting the final fight in the Arkansas legislature that sounded the death knell of the liquor traffic in the state.
 The house was purchased from Miss Emma White, but the consideration was not made public.
 The fund was started shortly after Senator White died and at a mass meeting a committee was named to have charge and to accept subscrip- tions. Men of every walk of life con- tributed to the fund and it grew stead fly until it was sufficient to purchase a modest residence.
 Senator White placed what he con- sidered duty above the acquiring of wealth and at his death he left very little for his family.
 The committee is composed of the following: A. w. Mills, chairman; M. B. Bloom, D. w. Ritchie, H. c. Fox, E. M. Goodwin; Mrs. J. G. Taylor, Mrs w. M. Tonev Mrs. T. Y. Murphy, Mrs. E. B. Rice, Mrs. T. B. Lyle.

NUR1H l. R. MAYOR jS ARRESTED oN
 CHARGE Of ARSON
Accused in Connection With Fire Which Destroyed
 Athletic Club.

Little Rock. June 22.-Mayor D. M. 'Pixley of North Little Rock was ar rested on a grand jury indictment charging arson yesterday afternoon and Herbert Stewart, former jaritc1 at the city hall was arrested last night on three grand jury indictments charging arson.
 Mayor Pixley furnished bond and was released. Stewart was unable ia make bond and spent the night in the county jail. His bond was fixed a: $1,000 for each of the three offenscs on which he is charged.
 Mayor Pixley is charged with arson in connection with the great fire that destroyed the Army Athletic associa. tion building, Second and Main streets, which burned on the night Of Febru- ary "A. Damage to the building and garage adjoining it, which was also destroyed, was estimated at s5O,00O
 One indictment against Stewart connects him with the Army Athletic assocation fire. The other two indict ments connect him with the burning of the Eichoff building, 301 Eas, Washington avenue and a negro shack across the street, which also were burned on the same night. Fire in these buildings was discovered a few minutes before the athletic ass' citation building was discovered to !c burning.

INDECENT R,R RATE
 FOREVER ENJ0lNED
Federal Judge Trieber Makes Final Order in Passenger Fares Case in
 State of Arkansas.

Little Rock, June 22.-Judge Jacob Trieber granted perpet- ual injunction yesterday in United States district court in the cases of the Iron Mountain (now Missouri Pa cific), Rock Island, Cotton Belt, and Pine Bluff and Arkansas railroads against the Arkansas railroad com mission, by which the railroad com- mission is forever enjoined from en- forcing the tWO-cent passenger rate. ' The two-cent passenger rate act was passed by the legislature in 1907. On May 8. 1915, Judge Treber grant ed the railroads temporary injunc- tion against the railroad commission, restraining it from enforcing the two cent fare. Even though this tempor- ary injunction had not been granted in 1915, permitting the railroads to have the three-cent rate, the three cent rate would now be in effect, fol- lowing Director General McAdoo's general order, placing the three-cent passenger rates in force throughout the country.
 Under present government control the granting Of the permanent injunc- tion was merely perfunctory. Shou d the railroads ever again be under pri- vate control, however, the question of the two-cent fare might arise again. At this time there is little probability of the commission appealing the cases, since, under government own- ership, there could be no change as long as the general order is in effect and since the commission is without the necessary funds at this time.
