BODY OF GIRL BABY Is
FOUND IN VACANT HOUSE
Days, Coroner Whitfield
Reports.
LICE ARE INVESTIGATING
Curious Burns About Mouth and
Nose at First Suggested That Car
bolic Acid Had Been Used to
Poison the Infant.

The nude body Of "a white cir! baby
about five months old, and having been
dead perhaps five daye. was turned
over to Coroner Whitfield by the po-
lice yesterday morning. The body OF
the infant was found in a house at
the corner of Gilmore Avenue and Cary
Street Road, which had been vacant
FOR the past four months. There is no
clue to its identity.
william Henley was preparing to oc-
cupy the house. and had moved part
of his furniture. About O'Clock We'd
nesday night he entered closet on
the second floor of the house and found
the body OF the child. lie at once ran
from the house and called the Second
Police Station. Officers Dulng and
Marcuson were sent to The house. and
took charge of tho body. when it was
turned over to the coroner yesterday
morning" his examination o! the body
and the promises gave no clue what
ever as to the identity Of the child
or those who may have killed it,
MOUTH AND NOSE SEEM
TO HAVE BEEN BURNED
Tho m-".h and nose of tho infant
appear 4, have been burned. and it
was at nrst nolicvcd that carbolic acid
had been used to poison the infant.
Further examination revealed however.
that tho burns were not made by acid.
and tho Coroner is still puzzled over
apparent burning at the nose and
mouth.
Detective Sergeant j. L. Willy and
Detective ]. NJ. Duny have been as
signed 10 an investigation of the case.
The fact that the house has been un-
occupied for so many months has re-
moved all suspicion from former oc-
cuDants. The body was in we'll
preserved state. and up to tho time Of
it's death seems TO have been we'll
nourished and cared for. No person
living near the house where the dead
body was found could be found ycstcr-
day who had seen the va. mt property
entered within tho past week.

SCOTTISH RITE INCREASE
 IS MOST REMARK ABLE

Little Rock, May This is a year of record breakers in many respects. New records are being established in many things, and now comes the Scottish Rite with one of the most re- markable increases ever recorded by fraternal organization in the state, aside from the insurance orders. The Spring class of the Arkansas Consis- tory contains 327 members. The largest class before this time was 165 in the Schley class several years ago, named for Admiral Schley, who was the guest of honor on that occasion. The fees from this class amount to nearly $50,000, which will enable the organization to retire the last of it's bonds on the building. The total membership is now increased to about 2,0O0.

PATRIOTIC SACRIFICE
 OF ARKANSAS PEOPLE

Little Rock, May 7.-No state in the Union has surpassed Arkansas in the amount of flour voluntarily sur rendered by it's people to the govern ment.
 These figures are official-and the further unofficial statement is made by Food Administrator Williams that all the other states combined have not equaled Arkansas in this respect
 The records show that total of 37414 barrels have been surrendered, and that total of $411 ,683.74 has been paid for it, an average of s11 per barrel.
 A large part of this flour has al- ready been forwarded to the armies in France.
 It was not flour that had been hoarded, and the holders were under no compulsion to return it, but did so voluntarily and from a sense of pat iiotiC uuIy.
 In acknowledging this outstanding act of patriotic sacrifice, Herbert Hoover, in letter to Food Admins trator Williams, said:
 T feel that the patriotism of the people of Arkansas in rendering to the government 37,414 barrels of flour for shipment abroad to our army, the allies and Belgium, is justification of the policy in which the food administration has been founded and that it is typical of what the American people can be counted on to do in a just cause. May I con- graduate you personally and all your staff for the example which Arkansas set to the country"

RECOMMEND ALL PERSONS
 BE ENROLLED IN SERVICE

Little Rock, May 7.-The State Council of Defense has recommended to the National Council and the Ar kansas delegation in Congress the consideration of law providing that "all persons between the ages of Is and 70, male and female, rich and poor, should be enrolled in the service of our country, and selected for such duties as each is best suited and qualified to perform
 It is estimated that there are G. 500,000 men between the ages of IS and 63 in the United States who are doing practically nothing. "If it takes two civilians" says Gen. Gib- bons' resolution, ''to support one sol dier in the field, this army of loafers would support the army of fighters alone if put to work"

HARD WORK FOR WOMEN

It is a question if women doing mems work deserve particular sym pathy, for it is doubtful if there is any work that is harder than every day housework. Overwork tells on the kidneys, and when the kidneys are affected one looks and feels older than the actual years. Mrs. A. c. Wells, R.

FROM OVER THERE"
American Expeditionary Force,
 April 9th, 1918.

h'hericah Expedltlonary Force,
 April 5th, 1918.
 Dear Sister:
 This is my third letter to you in the last two weeks, but the first two are still unmailed, and therefore I will make this one do for the three. From this letter on, my letters may be far between, but I will get few lines in the mail every chance I can get. It may be some time before this one gets into the mail. You may think that strange, but I am at war now and nothing is regular there or here l might say, except the roar of guns. l get mail often. 1 received four let ters today. I have in all twenty-one letters that 1 have not started to answer. l know my friends think am not trying to write, but if they were over here they would look at it different. Just think, for instance. my being out all day and in the after noon it began to rain and then at night just little tent in the rain, the tent being just large enough to cover one; then undress in the rain and sleep in water and mud; and then get up before day-break and find it still raining; then dress in the rain and wade around in mud. This is one reason I could not get a letter in the mail. We are engaged in real war now. 1 received some papers from Mrs. McRae, and was very glad to get them. Be sure to thank her for me. 1 will drop her few lines of appreciation the first time I have leisure time We had very dull Eas- ter; we did not know it was Easter time until it was over. 1 hope you enjoyed fine day to wear your new suit, but we are wearing the best suit in the world, so we should worry. When do you think the war will be over? look for it to end before July 4th; that sounds good, does it not? But it may not be true. I was very glad to receive the kodak photos you must have grown quite bit since I was home last. I received letter from Eva few days ago, and she said everything in the States was very dull, but she has never been in France. Just think, I have been in France five months; does it seem that long to you? It sure does not to me. We do not have time to think how fast the time does fly. I hope Clio will recover all right. 1 was a little uneasy when I first heard about her, but by the way your letter goes, she must be getting all right. I met Q boy from Stamps, Arkansas, and he knew Mrs. Boney; in fact she was his teacher before she married. talked to him about Prescott and Hope and he knew quite few people in both towns. I was glad to meet one from home over here. am feeling fine at present and hope this finds all at home well. I will close for this time. Will write as often as 1 can. If you fail to hear from me for long time, don't feel uneasy, for 1 will be all right. Give my best regards to all, and let me hear from you often. With love to all. Jewell Wick.

I beg leave to announce my candi-

that the office will stand as menace

HOWARD's FRIENDS
NOT ENTHUSIASTIC
ATLANTA CONGRESSMAN is BE.
LIEVED TO HAVE MADE SERI-
Gus MISTAKE In ANNOUNCING
FOR u. S. SENATE.

ATLANTA, Ga, April 2S-Although
bis friends are not saying much about
it in the hearing of other candidates,
it is known that some of the warmest
supporters of Congressman William
Schley Howard, representative of the
Fifth district, who recently announced
himself a candidate for the Senate to
succeed the junior senator, are bring
ing strong pressure to persuade him to
withdraw from this race and seek re-
election to his present position.
The fact that several new candidates
have come into the race since Con-
gresham Howard made his announce
ment has increased their feeling that
be made a mistake. If they felt that
he had a reasonable assurance of cleo
ton to the Senate they would favor
him to the last ditch if he stays in
it, but in the absence of such assur-
ance they believe that he ought to
play safe" by going back to Con
gress, which it is generally admitted
that he can do practically without
opposition His district is probably
the largest in the Southern states in
Goint of population. He is member
of the appropriations committee Of
the House, and enjoys the friendship
of the heads of all departments in
Washington.
Another serious factor in the situa-
ton as they see it is this: Reliable
report here has it that Congressman
Howard gave President Wilson to I'M
derstand that he would support Will
lam J. Harris for the Senate, and the
president is said to have expressed
surprise and disappointment when he
changed his mind This, it is feared,
might seriously affect Mr.. Towards
relations with the administration even
in the event of his election.
