 OVER THE RESULT
T Made No Compromises He Tells HOme-
 folks

1 Sacramento, Cal, June 23.-Speak ing publicly for the first time since the republican convention in Chicago United States Senator Hiram w. John. son today told few hundred of his home town people who greeted him at the Southern Pacific depot that he was not downcast over the result.
 Senator Johnson passed througA Sacramento en route to his home III San Francisco.
 Inspired by the warmth of the re- ception and the cries of speech John ston stepped on to the platform of his car and told the crowd how glad he was California and particularly his home city, gave him such a tremen- dous vote at the primary election.
 Don't imagine I'm downcast by the convention" said Senator Johnson. "Tm happier than ever before. I started the campaign on a shoe string and when I got through I had the people of the United States with me, even though I could not win the ma- jority of the delegates.
 "I went into the fight in one fash ion and came out in the same fashion. made no compromises, but fought to the last ditch.
 "It doesn't make any difference If a few politicians sitting in the Black stone hotel in Chicago said the peo- pie be damned, for the time is com ing when the people will come into their town.
 "The future will find me as good natured and as full of fight as ever, and determined that in time to come the people shall rule, instead of a few men and international bankers sitting in New York.
 Politics is behind me for the time being. I won't discuss or deal with them until I have had little enjoy ment in dear old California"

Utility Companies
 Sued for $202,OO0
 by John ID. Arbuckie

l Alleging that returns were not made on what he terms "intagible value" of the properties, George Vaughn, spe- cial counsel associated with the at torney generals department yesterday filed suit in the chancery court here against the Arkansas Light and Pow ] CT company for $84,0O0, the Arkansas Public Service company for $29,0O0, the Missouri and Southeast Utilities company for $5O,O0O, and the Pine Bluff company for $39,000. The four suits, brought in the name of Attorney General John D. Arbuckle, are mased on the allegation that the amounts are due for taxes on the "intangible val ue" of the properties for the period from 1915 to 1919, inclusive, as to the first three companies named, and for the period from 1912 to 1919 in the suit against thesPine Bluff company.
 The Arkansas Public Service com pany surrendered it's charter several years ago.
 Taxes on property of public utilities are levied according to valuation fixed by the states tax commission, which, has not imposed taxes on intangible values"
 H. c. Couch, president of the Ark ansas Light and Power company which took over the Pine Bluff company only a few years ago, declared last night that the suits represented ten dency that is holding Arkansas back ward. "We have always made out our returns properly" he said. "We are now paying one-twelfth of the taxes of Pine Bluff, and the complaint when heard, will not stand up."
 MT. Vaughn recently instituted suit against several other public utilities claiming amounts for back taxes. un- der arrangement with the state attor- ney generals department, he receives a percentage of any sums recovered.

MANY EVENTS FOR
 CHAMBER PICNIC AT MEMORIAL PARK
Travellers Issue Defiant Chal. lenge To Chamber Ball
 Players

Plans for the days festivities at Memorial Park July when the Cam Der of Commerce, the American Le- zion, United Commercial Travellers Rotary and Advertising clubs will hold an Independence Day picnic at which all the residents of southeast Arkan- sas will be especial guests matured rapidly yesterday.
 While l.. k. Bassett was arranging series of field events, and aquatic events were being announced by q committee from the natatorium, C. A. Gormley, chairman of the baseball team committee of the U. c. T., was putting out quite lot of talk up and down Second avenue about what the travellers ball team would do to a Chamber of Commerce team if Mana ger Bloom will put one in the field. The only condition Gormley makes is that members of the chamber team be members of the chamber. "We can beat anybody the chamber puts out" he said, "providing they don't ring in Seaton or Smith," The hour for the game, he said would be left to Bloom. Miss Catherine Bernet, swimmer of Memphis, will feature in the water carnival.
 If you really want to see what q pull Harvey Couch and J. F. McIn- tyre have you had better come to the picnic, where a tug-of war will take place between members of the Cham ber of Commerce and Rotary club. MT. Couch will tug on the side of the Rotarians, MT. Mcintyre on the com mercial organizations side.
 The tug f-war is only one of many big "pieces de resistance" which the entertainment committee will dish out to the amusement hungry crowds that are expected to throng Memorial park on the celebration day. In the field events alone, Chairman L. E. Bassett has arranged for the following con- tests, prizes for which will be given through the generosity of local mer- chants and business houses:
 Mems Division-Tug of war, three legged race (200 pounders), three leg ged race 150 pounders), sack race, potato race, shoe race, 25-yard dash (for six footers)
 Boy Scouts Division--(Open to members) of all four troops), Shuttle relay race, 25-yard dash, 50-yard dash, obstacle race.
 Anybody desiring to enter these contests is urged to turn in his name immediately to Mir. Bassett or J. M. Tucker at the Y. M. c. A.
 The celebration at Memorial park will receive widespread publicity be- tween now and July 4. Advertise ments will be inserted in city and nearby papers and big double-sid banner is now being painted to be strung across Fourth and Main streets. Local and out of town mer- chants will distribute circulars ad- vertising the event.
 One of the features as an added at- traction here, is Miss Minnie Fisher, aerialist of St. Louis. The Chamber of Commerce is negotiating with her. She stages an act said to be excep- tionally good.

BOARD SILENT TO
 AVOID APPEARANCE 0E ANY APOLOGY
Everything Possible Being Done," Says Publicity
 Chief
WEEK, TEN DAYS OR
 MONTH IS REQUIRED
Mass meeing of Railway VacatiOn ists To Be Held Friday Night To Discuss the Situation,
 Say Leaders.

Chicago, June 23.-Everything pos
 sible is being done to expedite the de. cision on wage demands of railroad
 employees, the railway labor board
 said today. The board had not re- ceived President Wilson's message requesting an immediate decision late today, but after reading press dis patches from Washington, George w. Hanger, public representative on the board, and chairman of it's publicity committee, announced that no state ment would be made, as it might be construed as an apology for delay, and that the board had no apologies to make.
 Public hearings were completed only two weeks ago, MT. Hanger point ed out, and the board was devoting all it's time to consideration of the several hundred schedules which must be issued.
 The decision will be given he said, Gin reasonable length of time," but he declined to define such a reason able time. Members of the board pre- viously had indicated that the decis- ion might be ready within 10 days or two weeks, certainly in less than a month.
 MT. Hanger refused to comment on statements of railroad brotherhood leaders at New Haven, Conn.,, that they had information the decision July 9.
 "We are working ceaselessly toward a decision, and it is now in sight," said Judge Barton, chairman of the board. "We are giving our best eff forts to make it as early as possible. We have gigantic task, as it in wolves the fixing of hundreds of scales and tables. The job is difficult and confusing"
 The present railroad strike had no connection with the delay in reaching a decision, the boards publicity de- partment said today, but apparently was prompted by an internal fight for control of the railroad unions. It was declared that the board believed the strike might continue even after the decision had been handed down.
 The latest railroad strike, which has largely been confined to the east has spread to several middle western towns. At Savannah, Ill.,, 50 switch men on two railroads quit work, while 65 men were reported out in the Chi cago, Burlington and Quincy yards at Hannibal, Mo. Eleven of the 59 men who walked out at Burlington, Ia., Sunday, returned today, it was said, and switching conditions there were reported normal.
 A mass meeting of railway vacation ists for Friday night was called by John Granau and Harold E. Bedding, leaders of two new railroad unions to lay before the public the true side of the present railroad situation. The vacationists have announced that no wage decision will be acceptable that does not restore seniority rights, which railroad officers declared for feited when the men failed to return to work.
 Officers of the recognized railroad brotherhoods also were planning to meet here Friday.
 Railroad officers said the situation in Chicago was normal.

HOUSE SMOTHERS
The IRISH BILL
GiIIett Won't Allow Resolution
to Be Called Up.

Washington, June 4.-Irish support
ers in the house were confronted with
refusal by Speaker Gillett to grant
the floor to any member for the pur-
pose of calling up the resolution ex-
pressing sympathy for Ireland be-
cause of lack of time.
The resolution had been turned over
to Representative Mason, Republican,
who was to handle it on the floor.
Mason, in a letter to Chairman Por-
ter, of the foreign affairs committee,
returning the resolution. said the
speaker had informed him jhat he "or
nobody else would be recognized' to
bring up the resolution. One of the
reasons assigned by the speaker for
his action, Mason said was that he
already had agreed to grant the floor
for more business than could be trans
acted in the few remaining hours of
the session.
The house is speeding up business
under suspension of the rules and as
result, the speaker is in absolute
control of the situation.

Absence Sometimes Evidence Of Tact.

Sometimes it's an evidence Of tact
whep people absent themselves. Only
big people can do it. Children and
childish adults have to hang around
with open mouths and staring eyes
lest something escape them. They are
the omnipresent nuisances that make
you want to tell them things. Really
big people can afford to let others do
few things without permission.
What others do ought not to detract
vitality from what you do unless what
you attempt is so small that 1t takes
little to overshadow it Besides it's
only fair that others should have an
opportunity of showing what they can
do. The world will think more of you
If you give 1t a chance to pass judg-
ment on its efforts. And what is more
mere obstruction won't stop things
anyway. The best way to make things
popular is to furnish sufficient unjust
opposition. The persecution occasion
ed makes friends for the other side.
