INTEREST BETTER in
VICTORY LOAN DRIVE

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The treas
ury today reported "a somewhat quick
ened interest" in the Victory Liberty
loan campaign, based on reports from
federal reserve districts, The total
subscriptions officially tabulated stlll
stood at 81, 1870, ,697. .000
The Minneapolis district, which In
previous loans has been one Of the first
to pass It's goal, probably will have as
much difficulty as any other district
In this loan, due to the fact that farm
ers are busy at belated planting caused
by a late spring, according to treas
ury reports.
In the ST. Louis district, which alone
has more than half OF Its quota, IL
counties Of Arkansas are oVersub-
scribed and l6 counties have not re.
ported. In Tennessee three have passed
100 per cent and five have not reported,
while In Kentucky 10 are over and lS
are unreported,
Twelve new counties In the Atlanta
district were reported above their
quotas today, including Randolph coun-
ty Georgia, which raised Its quota In

through the banks, as was done in
past Liberty loan issues.
NO new percentage lists of the stand
ing Of the 81 Victory loan divisions has
been complied at Memphis headquar-
ters this week, as no soliciting is be-
ing done by the main committees. How
ever, the success of the Memphis plan,
worked out by the general chairman,
j. o, Heflin, and his associates, was
so pronounced that 1t still is working
even without the aid of soliciting COM
mittees.
Belated subscriptions reaching the
offtccs OF the organization this week
have brought in total of about SlS5, =
600 aside from the railroad employees
lists, leaving approximately only about
100000 OF the total quota for the city
and county lacking at noon Thursday.
This 1t is believed, will be made by
unsolicited subscriptions and by the re-
turns from the committees which are
still at work In the county outside of
Memphis long before the close of the
official campaign In short, Memphis
and Shelby county will subscribe their
complete quota without calling upon
the banks to take single bond on
their own account

P0CAH0NTAS MURDER
MYSTERY DEEPENS

POCAHONTAS, Ark, May /. (Spl)- -
The mystery surrounding the murder
that occurred near Brooking a couple
Of days ago deepens with each hour.
Judge z. G. Schoonover and Sheriff
jackson returned today after an ex-
tended tour up the river in search Of
Herbert Scho0nover. a brother OF Judge
Schoonover. They found him safe and
in ignorance of the crime Further con.
versation with the sheriff and his dep
uties develops the fact that the body
was literally chopped to pieces, Not
withstanding the fact that the crime
was committed number of miles by
the meanderings of the river above
here on yesterday. one Of the hips of
the murdered man was found four
miles below Pocahontas and was buried
BY Deputy Sheriff Riggs.
The body was chopped into pieces
crosswise and split entirely open in
front and partly through the back and
the Indications are. so the sheriff says.
that all the internal organs we're care
fully taken from the torso. A day or
SO before the first part OF the body
was found a boy fishing on the bank
OF the river near the spot where the
killing occurred saw gunny sack
hanging against some timbers In the
water. Not knowing Of the crime, with
pole he pushed 1t away and 1t sank
as 1t was carried down the stream
This doubtless contained the internal
organs and possibly the clothing of the
dead man.
Thus far no clew has been discov-
cred. Sheriff Jackson and his deputies
are making every effort to ferret OUT
this crime, but the indications now are
that 1t will forever remain a mystery

Immediately after peace is declared, In

ican secretary Of : the navy, and
one of the objects OF his trip
abroad is to discuss with the admiral
ties Of Italy, France and England some
details as. to this force, particularly
the types of vessels desirable.
The desire of conquest may still
linger in the hearts OF some nations
after peace said Secretary Daniels,
and such nations must be shown that
1t would be Improbable to attempt to
accomplish those desires.m -
As the league Of nations becomes es-
tablished,, Secretary Daniels added, the
naval police force would certainly be
decreased in proportion. to the strength
OF the league. The secretary declined
to express an opinion as to the dis
position of interned German warships.
