DRY GOODS PRICES FALL
Heavy Reductions Made by St. Louis
Wholesale Concerns.

st. Louis, Oct. 27.-Reduction in
dry goods prices, in some instances
as much as so per cent, were announc-
ed by several local wholesale COM
panies today. General price readjust-
ments and declines in the cost OF raw
material were ascribed as causes of
the reductions.
D. R. Calhoun, president of one Of
the wholesale houses, said that ging-
ham which sold at 35 cents a yard
Wholesale at the recent peak now is
offered at II cents by his company
Percale which went to 80 cents a
yard, now is offered at IL 1-2 cents, or
2 1-2 cents below the prevailing mill

CROP Is ABOUT HARVESTED
Weather Has Been Favorable and Most
Of Late Crop is Matured.

Washington, Oct. 27.-In view of
the lateness of the cotton crop the
continued warm weather in the more
northeastern districts of the belt has
been favorable and the plants are
now mostly matured, according to the
Department of Agriculture weekly ma
tional weather and crop bulletin.
Rainy weather delayed picking in
states west Of the Mississippi and
damaged open cotton in many locali-
ties. To the eastward weather was ia.
vorable for picking, which work made
generally good progress, except for
some exception by labor shortage. Cot
ton was nearly all gathered during the
past week in Mississippi, Alabama
and Georgia. except in the northern
portions, and harvest is approaching 3
completion in the coastal plains Of
South Carolina. The yield in the CEN
trail portion of the later sac is prov
ing better than was expected. The
weather was unfavorable for the de-
velopment of the top crop in Texas.
and cotton deteriorated in Oklahoma
because of excessive moisture and de-
ficient sunshine.

FARM BUREAU TO MEET
Body VIII Meet In Ashd0wn Friday,

TAX RECEIPT NOT a
NEEDED BY WOMEN
Election Officials Believe They Can
Vote Tuesday Without Pay
ing Assessment.

Little Rock, Oct. 7That women will
be allowed to vote in the November
general election without poll tax is the
apparent consensus of opinion among
state and election officials. This view is
based on the fact that the payment of
poll tax, as required by Arkansas sta
tutes as qualification for voters, ap-
plies specifically to males" Inasmrch
as women are not mentioned in the
section 1t seems to be generally held
that the section cannot be extended to
include them, and that they are there
by exempted from the requirement.
While no question has been raised
in the courts, Attorney General Ar
buckle contends. that the federal
amendment which confers the right
OF suffrage on women confers with it
all the duties and requirements impos-
ed on men voters, just as it vests
women with all the privileges of men
at the polls. However, it seems at
present that the rights Of women will
not be questioned under the poll
tax law, Men are required to have
poll tax receipts, and as the time for
paying poll taxes ended last June,
there Is no chance of women who
have not already paid of acquiring
receipts now.
Mr.. Arbuckle has been called on
frequently Of late to interpret the alb
sent voter law for women who will
make their debut at the polls in No
vember, and who are of the impress
sion that the act gives them the right
to send their votes to Arkansas from
whatever state they may happen to
be in. The Arkansas law, applying
equally to men and women, provides
that voters in the state but not in
their own precincts or counties may
have their votes sent to their pre-
cincts from towns where they ma
be on election day. But no Arkansas
voter not in the state on election day
may send their votes to Arkansas
The absent voter statutes vary in
different states, Mr.. Arbuckla said,
and residents of other states in Ark
ensas on election day, VA, desire 10
vote. should consult the statutes OF
their own states to ascertain their
rights.

WILSON PLEADS FOR
LEAGUES APPROVAL
President Warns Against Permitting
War to Have Been in Vain
Appeal Touching.

WdoHlHSlOu, OCI. li.-fTeSlueHI
Wilson in his first speech since he
was taken i'll more than a year ago
called on his fellow countrymen"
today to endorse the League of Ma
tions" and summoned them to the
concert Of peace and the compile
tion of the great moral achievement, :"
on their part which he said the World
war represented.
Speaking from his wheel chair to a
delegation of pro-league Republicans
and Independents who called at the
White House, the president declared
'the great moral influence of the
United States would be absolutely
thrown away" If the nation did not
"complete the task which our soldiers
and sailors so seriously undertook to
execute"
The American people, Mr.. Wilson
said, should not be deceived into sup
posing that imperialistic schemes end
ed with the defeat of Germany. He
said there were other nations which
were likely to be powerfully moved or
already were moved, "by commercial
jealousy, by the desire to dominate
and to have their own way in poll
tics and in enterprise" and that it
was necessary to appraise them that
the world would be united against
them as it was against Germany if
they attempted any similar thing"
Delegation Is Impressed.
The president read his address from
"a manuscript. Hi visitors declared
in a formal statement after leaving
the house that it was evident he was
'voicing the profoundest emotions OF
his heart" and that more than once
his voice choked," especially when
he referred to the soldier boys and
and the mothers of those who had
fallen in battle"
Lie WHOlC OCCdSIOu was luCApI cbo-
IDLY solemn and tender" said the
statement, adding that the deputation
felt it was nothing less than tragic"
that the president had been brought
"to such a stricken physical condi-
ton as the result of his indefatigable
labors for his country and for human
ity."
"They felt" concluded the state
ment, that this. might be the pres
dents last appeal to the conscience
of his corntrymen in the supreme
moral decision that they are called
upon to make"
Mr. Wilson received his visitors.
including two women, in a small room
off his study near the entrance to the
White House. He remained in his
wheel chair throughout the reception,
which lasted 40 minutes. Afterward,
Rear Admiral Grayson, his physician,
said that he had shown no physical
ill. effects, saying he had come
through "in exceptionally fine form"

r. -. - -t4s.
Mena, Oct. 26.-Alvin Hughes,
sawmill worker, admitted In Polk Cir
lcuit court here tonight that he killed
Ellis Mankins, young farmer of
Scott county, on October 8, to get
possession Of the latter's team and
wagon.
There were no eye witnesses to the
tragedy, the evidence against Hughes
being circumstantial. Hughes was in
dicted by the Polk Grand Jury yes
terday, and his case set for today. The
state introduced a strong chain Of
Icircumstantial evidence.
Apparently seeing there was little
hope for him, Hughes voluntarily took
the witness stand and admitted that
he killed young Mankins. He said
that he and the murdered man were
driving through the woods when he
struck Mankins the first blow. After
striking several other blows, Hughes
said he dragged the mans body
considerable distance from the wagon
road, and then drove off believeing
him dead.
The two were seen together leaving
Eagleton, near which place Mankins
lived, on the day the latter was
missed. Three days later, when Man
kins was found fatally wounded, sus-
picion at once turned toward Hughes.
Officers arrested him the day follow
ing the young farmers death. Fear
ing mob violence, he was not taken
to Scott county. With Hughes at the
time were his wife and two children.
Hughes will be sentenced by Judge
u, S. Steel tomorrow 1t is generally
believed he will be sentenced to the
electric chair.
