Ballot for Maximum Levy
of IL Mills.

The annual school election will be
held today. Voters will have for bal
lot the tax levy for the coming year,
district directors, and the county
superintendent question in counties
not having such an office. Attorney
General John D. Arbuckle has held
that women will not be allowed to vote
for the reason the election is a gen
eral one and not a primary.
1t is being urged that every voter
cast a ballot for the maximum levy of
IL mills This levy has been voted in
the Pine Bluff district since its
establishment as a maximum by the
amendment to the constitution in
1916.
Hubert Strange, secretary of the
city school board said last night re-
garding the IL mills levy. 81 be-
lieve every voter recognizes the
necessity for voting the IL mill maxi

les, expenses are higher, and improve
ments are planned, all necessitating
as much revenue as possible" i
The city school board, is consider
ing the coming election, has issued
the following for publications:
Saturday, May 18th is school
election day, in calling attention to
this day of more than minor i'm
portance, we do so with feeling that
the people of Pine Bluff should con-
graduate themselves because of a
great number of good things, that
their school boards have done for
them, the district is in splendid
financial condition, the best of any in
the state of like size and condition.
Schools in splendid condition with
reference to kind of work being done.
Splendid faculties in every school,
health and canitary conditions the
cost in the state, d new high school
building hardly equaled in the south.
There is no politics in our school sys-
tenn, for this the city should be CRATE
full because no one thing would so
quickly wreck the structure that cost
years of work and thought. There is
just now. The district must submit
to great loss by virtue of the fact
that Hon. w. F. Coleman will not
sind for reelection. His reasons being
that the work is hard and that he has
given as much time as he feels that
he can. The numerous friends of Hon.
w. D. Jones have induced him to per-
nit his name to be subitted to fill the
place vacated by Nc. Coleman. There
is much need for an attorney on the
board. therefore, the urgency of Sc
curing one to submit his name. Mr.. H.

DESIRES
ELECTION TO FILL
COUNTY OFFICE
Urges RoWell to Prove Fair
ness by Requesting Elec
ton of Governor.

In replying to a statement from
Will Rowell, published in The Graphic
yesterday, Frank Parsons urges Mr..
Rowell, recently appointed county
treasurer, to cooperate with him in
urging Governor Brough to call a
special election to fill the vacancy left
by the death of J. R. Parsons. The
office is now filled by Mr.. Rowell,
whom the governor appointed some
time ago. Friends of Mr.. Parsons are
Of the opinion that an election should
be called in order that the people of
the county might fill the office as
they see fit, as provided in the state
constitution. Mr.. Parsons statement
follows:
an yesterdays Graphic there ap-
peared card over the signature of
Mr.. Will Rowell in which he repeat
edly said that he was trying to be
more than fair to me and my friends
in connection with the settlement of
the county treasurership of this
county.
eff he and his friends are willing
to exhibit the same spirit of fairness
that he claims to have been manifest
ing heretofore, let him join me and
my friends in request to Governor
Brough to call special election,
which the constitution and the law
require him to do, and let the people
say who shall be the county treasur-
err of Jefferson county, with power
to appoint deputy to the office. If
they do not want me. / wouldn't have
it; if he has been foisted upon the
people. he should be ashamed to re-
tain the position and maintain that
he is democrat.
~ might add that when a vacancy
occurred in the prosecuting attorneys
Office by reason of the resignation of
Mr.. Nixon. and Mr.. Parham was APP
pointed. Mr.. Parham and his friends
were the first to Join in a request
that special election be called. In
fact. / am told that it required but
little urging to get the governor to
uphold the law he had taken an oath
to enforce. The same thing again oc-
Cured when Judge Grace died, and
Judge Sorrells was appointed: and at
least myself. and probably great
number of my friends wonder what
power has seized Governor Brough
that he cannot call special election,
as his predecessors have done. when
the law says in so many words that
he shall do so.

THRU SKyLIChT
Victor Boyd Painfully In
iured in Accident Thurs
day Night. ~ 49,

Victor Boyd, night roundsman, IN
an Intellectual attempt to capture a
burglar in the interior of one of the
store buildings on the West side of
Main street between Second and
Third avenues early yesterday morn
ing, was painfully injured when he
fell through the sky light above the
store room of Berbig's Drug Store,
crashing down distance of about Is
feet onto a table laden with large bot
ties of syrup and medicines, nniracu-
ously escaping with his life in the fall.
He was rendered unconscious by the
fall, and Night Waterman Perdue
and Policeman Henry spent fully
80 minutes in reviving him. His face
and head was badly cut and bruised,
while he sustained several other cuts
and bruises on other parts of his
body. Though his injuries are not
thought very serious, his condition
would not permit him to be on duty
last night

Boyd was walking his beat on the
east side of Main street yesterday
morning about o'clock when he
heard what sounded to him like
heavy box falling in one of the stores
on Main street With Night Watch
man Perdue and another officer, he
started across the street to investi-
gate. The sound seemed to have
emenated from the interior of Henry
Marx store, and leaving the other two
outside to come on the burglar from
the front, Boyd went to Third avenue
and climbed to the top of Foug's
building with the intention of walk
ing across the roofs Of the buildings
to trap the burglar in Henry Marx.
When he reached the roof above
Berbig's he noticed the railing around
the skylight, but when he flashed his
light on the sky light it seemed, I'M
der the rays of the light, as part of
the roof, and climbing over the
railing, he jumped downtown,
down, and then down into Berbig's
store room. He was found unconscious
by Perdue and Henry who admins
tered to him.
It later developed that the burglar
was no burglar at ALL The sound
which seemed as falling boxes was
an automobile on State street run
ming over the top of man hole, the
the sound echoing and reechoing thru
the alley, making the sound appear
to come from one of the stores.

Will Support Lansing Note
Of November 5.
SEEK TO AVOID
BLAME FOR WAR
Deny Right to Indemnities for War
Losses on Grounds of Caus.
ing War.

Berlin, Wednesday, May 14.-(Via
London)-The note which Count Won
BfOckdOrff-R antZan, head OF the Ger
man peace mission at Versailles hand
ed on Tuesday to Premier Clemen-
ceau, as president of the peace con-
ference, dealing with the question of
reparation and responsibility for the
war, declared that Germany had OBJ
ligated herself to give compensation
based on Secretary of State Lansing's
note OF November 9TH, independently
OF the question of responsibility for
the war. The German delegation, the
note set forth, could not recognize that
from any responsibility of the former
German government for the origin of
the war there could be deduced on
the part Of the allied and associated
powers, the right to claim indemnifi-
cation for losses suffered through the
war.
The note declared further that the
peace terms provided no proof of
Germany's responsibility for the war
and requested that the reports of all
the allied commissions which inves-
tigated the responsibility for the
war should be communicated to
the German delegation.
Another note of the three handed
in on Tuesday, that dealing with ter
rtorial questions, declared that the
portion of the treaty dealing with ter
ritorial annexations, was not in ac-
cordance with President Wilson's
fourteen points.
Under the financial and economic
conditions of the treaty, it was fur
Their set forth, it seemed that it would
be impossible for Germany to have
enough gold on hand at the end of
10 years to repurchase the Sarre VAL
ley mines from France, and that if
she did, the Naturalization commits
sion which would still dominate Ger
many would not permit this gold to
be used for such purpose.
The note suggested negotiations
with the entente with view of eff
fecting an alternative arrangement
to meet Frances just claims by de-
livery of coal from both the Sarre and
the Ruhr regions

Friday proved an off day in peace

several delegations and individuals,
ranking from diplomats to labor rep

The negotiations with the Austrian
peace delegation at st. German are
expected to begin the middle of next

present their credentials at a meet
ing Of the peace congress Tuesday,
and it reported unofficially that the
following day may witness the hand
ing OF the peace terms to the delega-
ton.
The council of foreign ministers is
continuing it's labor on the details of
the Austrian peace treaty connected
with the question of new fronties.
The treaty, it is understood, will not
deal with the disposition of Dalma-
tia, Istria or Fiume, merely ealing
for the Austrian remuneration of
rights to these territories. The Ital-
ians and Jugo-Slavs, with American
meditation, will settle the question
of the former Austrian domain be-

and associated powers. said to deal
with the question of Alsace-Lorraine
is in course of reparation ythe Ger
mans.
That the allies are preparing for
the eventful day when the Turks are
to be reckoned with in a peace treaty
is indicated by the fact that British,
Frenchfi American, Italian and Greek
warships with landing parties, have
begun great concentration at Smy-
ra, AsialMinor. Allied Nroops also
are being massed at Saloniki. The
concentration at Smyrna is connected
with the mandate given to Greece by
the peace conference to administer
the affairs of the Turkish seaport.
while the belle, is expressed in Paris
that the massing at Saloniki is con-
nected with the enforcement Of the
peace terms to be presented to the
Qttomans, which is. thought probable
will include 4 demand that the Turks
