L. L. Calvin, the one-armed man

Wagon Yard, was arrested Tuesday
night by Sheriff j. A. Thornton and
Deputy w. E. Anderson on the charge
of making Choctaw beer, homemade
concoction that seems to have the gen
uine kick and produces the desired eff
feet. Five or six gallons of the booze
were found in his room in the rear of
the wagon yard, and it was seized and
destroyed by the officers, save about
a gallon which is being kept to be used
as evidence.
Calvin gave bond for his appear
ance before Justice of the Peace S. H.

ing, and when the case was called he
waived examination and was bound
over to the October grand jury under
bond of $400.

drunk, entered his plea of guilty to
the charge and wis given fine of $40
and adjudged to pay the costs.

mo TOE HOLD FOR SOVIET"
Taft Says Plumb's Plan Ought to Be
Fought.

Cincinnati, Aug. 10.-"It is radically
socialistic and ought to be fought" :"
William Howard Taft said of the
Plumb plan for the administration of
the railroads in statement here to-
night.
II very much disapprove of the plan,
| am almost certain the Republicans
will oppose the Plumb plan, and |
hope the Democrats do, too. We
should not let the soviet system gain
even toe hold in America" he said.
81 do believe in close supervision Of
the railroads of the country, but such
supervision as we have had has been
too severe. We should give the rial
roads a chance for the adequate reve-
nue. and proper rates so they can at
tract the necessary capital for neces-
sary maintenance and improvements.
We have not allowed the rates to go
up as they should"
Referring to the strikes of railroad
shopmen thruout the country, and the
demands of other railroad unions for
increased wages, Mr.. Taft said:
while | have not gone into the sub
ject with the thoroness to warrant a
final Judgment, will say that from
what / do know it seems to me the
men are requesting greater increase
than the percentage of increase in he
cost of living warrants. Thus, it ap-
pears, they are asking more than they
are entitled to receive"

PAID DIVIDENDS
ON VAST BONUS
Glenn f. Plumb of Chicago Says Rail-
roads Gave Away Stock in Millions
on Which, in 1913, IL Millions in
Dividends Was Paid.

Washington, Aug, Charges
that eighteen representative railroads
operating in all parts of the United
States gave away stock bonuses ag-
gregating $450,414,000 from 1900 to
1910 and have paid millions in divi-
dends on these bonuses were made be-
fore the house interstate commerve
committee by Glen E. Plumb. of Chi
cago, author of the Plumb plan for
tripartite control of the roads.
Mr.. Plumb charged further that
these railroads which have so in
creased their property investment
account at the expense of the public
are now controlled in whole or in part
by the Morgan interests, the Rookie
feller interests and the Gould inter
ests"
"On behalf of all of the employees Of
these systems, of transportation ane
the public" said Mr.. Plumb, eve de
mand that congress shall make thort
investigation of the charges hereir
set forth so that the American peo
pie may know to what extent it is
sought to subject them to exploita.
tion under the plans proposed to this
committee of congress, plans which
would make lawful the fixing of rates
based on the new unlawful aggregate
property investment accounts of these
systems"
Specifically, Mr.. Plumb charged that
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
the Chicago Northwestern, the Great
Northern, the Illinois Central and the
Southern Pacific railroads gave away
in bonuses to their stockholders more
than $3.50 100000 during the ten year
period mentioned, and "that the actual
dividend disbursements on this excess
capital for the year 1918 alone
amounted to more than S11,000,000."
He also alleged that the Pennsyl-
vania, Baltimore & Ohio, New York,
New Haven and Hartford, New York
Central and Hudson River railroad,
Boston & Maine and the Delaware &
Hudson company, ISSUED new stock
for $101 100000 less than its market
value, or gave away this enormous
amount of bonuses to stockholders and
that dividends paid on these ficticious
stock issues in 1913 alone amounted
to over $4,317,000."

LENINE TO GIVE UP REINs.
Numerous and Violent Strikes Cause
Great Embarrassment-l5O Executed.

Copenhagen, Aug. 11.-Premier
Lenine, it is rumored, intends to re-
tire from the head of the Bolshevik
government, according TO dispatches
from Helsingfors quoting Russian re-
ports. Strikes are reported to be rag
ing everywhere in Bolshevik con-
trolled territory. One hundred and
fifty strike leaders were said to have
been arrested and executed.
Pending his actual withdrawal, Pre-
mier Lenine was reported TO have in
structed Herr Krassin, minister of
railroads, to try to reach some un-
derstanding with the Mensheyiki, the
moderate opposition party.
The strikes which have been becom-
ing more violent are spreading in
spite of the governments interven-
tion. Peasants are said to be refusing
to deliver grain to the cities, causing
the government great embarrassment
and adding new difficulties to the
problems of provisioning.

RESTAURANT MEALS HIGHER.
Increased Prices for Foodstuffs and
New Law for Women Workers Causes.

A number of Mena restaurants and
eating houses have increased the
price of meals to so cents each this
week, an advance of from 10 to Is
cents, The raise is charged to two
factors, the new law regarding women
workers, and the recent increase in
prices of foodstuffs. The local en-
ployers of women have had their at
tention called to the recently enacted
minimum wage and maximum employ
ment law for workers of the fair sex
in hotels and restaurants. The law
prohibits working a woman more than
8 hours daily, nor more than 6 days
week. The new measure is causing
confusion to some local employers
who have had to rearrange working
schedules and hire additional help in
order to comply with the law

Fear the Political Effect.

Accompanying the formal announce
ment of the vote was a statement in
which it was set forth that the demon
srated inefficiency under federal OPP
Grafton and the serious political eff
feet it might have were the grave
dangers in removing the systems from
private operation. 1t is further ex-
planned that to acquire the railroads
the government would have to pledge
it's credit for 1S to 20 billion dollars
at time when other large financier-
ing must be done.
Then, too, the business men declare,
the rates and fares would be higher
instead of lower under a system of
federal operation unless the govern
ment adopt the policy of fixing low
rates and fares with the intention that
any resulting deficit from the opera
tions should be placed as an increased
burden of taxes upon the general pub
lie
