ATE EMPTED BREAK
 AT COUNTY FARM
Prevented When Officers Find Two Saws Which Had Been Struggled
 Into the Stockades.

Little Rock, Jan. 27.-An att tempted break, which would have freed 56 prisoners at the county farm, was thwarted early Sunday night Two saws that the prisoners had smuggled into the stockades were dis covered by the wardens before the prisoners had opportunity to use them.
 Deputy Warden J. W. Bevies last night said the plot was revealed to Warden J. E. McCook and himself by Haywood King, negro boy, who is a trusty. He said that King came to them about 8 o'clock Sunday night and told them that one of the negro prisoners asked him if he wanted to escape. King said that he replied in the affirmative and then was told that the negro prisoners had saw and that all would escape soon. King told the officials at the first oppor- tunity.
 | McCook and Bevies entered the ne-H gro stockade and demanded the saw, which was given to him immediately A thorough search revealed no other tools. An investigation was immedl- ately started and the blame was fas- tened on Luther Shepherd, a negro, who, the officers say, was the leader of the planned delivery. Shepherd was at work near the workshop sev- i eral days ago and it is believed that he obtained the saw at that time.! Other negroes implicated in the plot were Willie Watson, John White and Tom Allen, who escaped from the county jail Thanksgiving night.
 Search was made of the white mems stockade and here the officers found hacksaw. The prisoners de- nied having the implement, but one of the negroes told the officials that i Shepherd had given the white prison CTS saw also. Officers say that Frank Carouthers was the leader of the white prisoners. Caruthers re- gently attempted to escape, but was overtaken after a short chase.
 At present there are 52 negroes and 4 white men in custody in stockades on the farm.

REORGANIZATION
 AMERICAN FLEET
Warships Are Divided Into Two Ma 7 jor Units, Known as Forces
 Nos. 1 and 2.

Washington, Dec. 27.- Orders to naval officers made public today show that with the return of the overseas forces, the Atlantic fleet is rapidly being reconstructed. The returning ships have taken their places in the fleet organization and the assign ment of officers show a general re- arrangement of the high commands, with Admiral Mayo remaining com mander in chief.
 The fleet is being divided in two major units. known as battleship forces Nos. and 2. It is said that all the older battleships have been grouped in force No. 1, under Vice Admiral Bert W. Grant, formerly commanding the Fifth Division of the fleet. This force will consist of Di- visions A and B and Squadrons l and
 The newer ships are grouped in force No. 2 and the assignment of Vice Admiral Henry B. Wilson, for merly commanding in French waters, to command Squadron No. 4, is said to place him in line for command of force No. 2.
 Rear Admiral Charles P. Plunkett formerly on duty in Washington, takes command of the destroyer force, now to be divided as the battle ships into two groups, flotillas Nos. 1 and 2. Rear Admiral Ashley H. Robertson, formerly commanding the destroyer force, is assigned to com- mand flotilla No. 2, while Admiral Plunkett will command flotilla No. 1 as well as the entire force.

FIFTY DELEGATES
 ID CENTE ENARY
At Meeting Last Night Dr. Moose Gave Interesting Account of His
 Work and the Korean People.

The Missionary Centenary of the the Batesville district convened in this city Monday night for one days session and is being we'll attended by pastors, Sunday school superintend- ents, Epworth League presidents and members and officers of the Women's Missionary Societies all over the dis trict. The Centenary is being con- ducted by Dr. Moose, returned missionary from Korea, who has given twenty years of his ministerial life to the work in that country, and which he says he is "crazy" about. Dr. Moose delivered one of the best lectures on foreign work that has ever been given in Newport at the meeting last night. He seems to be infatuated with the work and believes the Koreans to be as bright and just as active as any nation in the world, and in many ways a great deal more so, His talks are filled with witt cisms, which he uses Tn descflDlng the people and their ways, and it was a very interested audience who left the church building at the con- clusion of the evenings service. The attendance was large, about fifty del egates from over the district being on hand. The delegates are the key men women who are to launch this great campaign to carry on work in the mission fields, which was first started one hundred years ago this month. The services for this even ing will also be in charge of Dr. Moose, but others will aid with the program.

Harmony Now Prevails and Supreme Council Considers Colony Issue,
 But Reachese No Decision.

Paris, Jan. 27.-The peace confer ence today made a distinct gain when the -19 small powers gave full adhe- sion to the organization formulated by the five great powers, thus secur- ing united front of the great and small powers at the outset of the work on the main subjects before the commission.
 This was largely due to the skillful direction of Jules Cambon, French delegate and former ambassador at Washington, who was designated by the great powers to preside over the meeting of the small powers held this afternoon. This meeting convened at the Foreign Office at o'clock, at the same time the great powers met, the two separate groupings proceed ing simultaneously, one in the office of M. Pichon, the foreign minister, and the other in the Sale de la Paix.
 For time there was some fear of the sequel to the different viewpoints expressed at Saturdays. conference, but today's meeting of the small powers was without renewal of the claims then set up for increased rep resentation on the various commit tees. Belgium, Rumania and all the other small powers had their full del egations at the afternoon meeting.

FUN IN THE HOUSE AT THE FIX
 PENSE OF NEWTON,

The Arkansas Gazette this morn ing contained an article, which will be of interest to everybody in New port as well as other sections of the state, being well known here from visits to our city in the interest of our state organ. All who know him enjoy his originality and wit.
 The article in question referred to the appearance of MT. Dunaway in the House of representatives yesterday, just at the close of the debate on the proposed amendment of the fish and game laws for the better protection of fur-bearing animals. He was bearing a large, 'possum suspended by the tail from a notched stick over his shoulder, and he was bringing it as gift to Speaker Newton. 1nci- dentally we might say for an explana- tion of this especial kind of gift, that MT. Dunaway uses them as cir culating medium of currency, as sou venirs and keepsakes, etc. It is known in Newport that the gentleman has quite menagerie at his home in Conway. The Gazette says:

The following letter from one of "our own" boys, fills us with pride, inasmuch as he has been signally honored by being appointed or derly to the Peace Conference. By ron Bursott was a fine boy before he left us, and with the training he has had, we know he merits everything good coming his way and all the hon. ors that can be bestowed upon him. His friends here at home can't help but take particular pride in such news of him, knowing that he has acquit- ted himself creditably in his service for Uncle Sam and our fight against the despicable Hun.
 Paris, France, January 2, 1919. Dear Mother:
 I guess I will start the New Year by writing to you. As you can see have moved-this time to Paris. I was sent here as Orderly to the Peace Conference.
 How is everyone? o. K. I hope This leaves me well. Mother, l am ashamed of myself for not writing sooner, or rather oftener in the last month, so I'll try to explain. When went to Coutre from St. Florent, there were about seven hundred men in the company, so I didn't want to work in the kitchen any more. l went to drilling. That was new to me, also everything I had to do, so it took most of my time, and I kept putting off writing. I know shouldn't have done it, but I did. Hope you will look over the omission, and Pm sure you will.
 I haven't had letter from any one for over a month and don't have the least idea when I will again. don't believe the postal authorities can keep up with my moves.

London, Jan. 27.-William Hohen- zollern, the former German emperor, has grown very surly and rarely speaks word to his men servants and guards, says the Mails cores pondent at Amerongen.

 "The former German emperor is been gradually deserted by every one. He receives practically no visi- tors and his formerly voluminous cor respondence has become very small. z

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Jan. 27-The Forty Second General Assembly is grinding out business rapidly. At the end of the second week of the session there were 142 bills in the senate, and 319 in the house, total of 461.
 A majority of the bills are local in their nature, and many local bills emerge from the hopper after the members have concluded with ex- emptions from provisions of the bill.
 When some member thinks that cotton weighers, elected by the peo- pie, or that mileage and per diem of members of the quorum courts, or high bounties for the killing of va rious kinds of varmints that poster the farmers, would be good thing for the whole state, the clerk is delug- ed with amendments exempting war; ious counties. For instance, when they got through with the county cot ton weighers bill, the only counties left were Independence, Howard, Polk, Nevada, and White-and there is still time for amendment
 Had the new constitution been adopted, with it's provision prohibit ing local legislation, it would have been impossible to so change the terms of a general bill as to make it apply to only one or fewer than the whole number of the counties.
 That peculiar genius, who, during recent years, has been known as the Battle-Axer, is not very conspicuous in this session, but both the House and the senate as a rule, are very liberal and progressive in their poli- cies.
 The efforts that may have been made by some to array the legisla- ture against the administration have proven futile. The body, so far, has shown disposition to stand by Gov. Brough in his policies.
 This session is peculiarly strong for suffrage and prohibition, and is ready to pass almost anything in reason on either subject. The prohi- bition ratification occurred early, and laws amending the bone-dry act are on the way. The suffrage amend ment will be adopted this week, after being amended so as to prohibit alien declarants from voting and to exempt women from compulsory jury service
 There are some political rumblings in the assembly, but not so much as has been heard at some previous ses- sions. So far no avowed gubernato- rial candidate has developed in either house-they may be there, but they have not chalked up there names on the entry list yet. There is a candi- date for congress in the senate there may be more-but E. E. Alex ander, of Mississippi is candidate to succeed T. H. Caraway from the First District, MT. Caraway being an avowed candidate for the senate. In the house, Harvey G. Combs who has been chief clerk for several sessions, will be a candidate for sec retary of state, to succeed Tom J. Terral, who is a candidate for gov ernor to succeed Gov. Brough. MT Combs is one of the most popular employees who ever served in the house, and no one ever thinks of dar- ing to run against him for the chief clerkship so long as he wants it. It
