Forrest City District Meeting at

Forrest City District Meeting at Jonesboro.
 The following notes taken from the Jonesboro Daily Tribune will be of great interest to the club wo- men of Marianna. Aside from the general interest we have in these meetings, there was a specific in- terest in the meeting last week as the federation was ably presided over by Mrs. c. E. Daggett of this city and three of our musicians Mrs. R. D. Smith, Miss Rebekah Smith and Miss Floy Johnston-ap- peared on the program. Among other courtesies that the Marianna delegates received was a dinner with Mrs. Robert Montgomery, formerly Miss Lula May Futrall.
 Special mention should be given to the musical circles. The musical feature of the federation meeting was exceptionally fine. The Forrest City district is the first in the state to adopt it. The organ re- cital at the Baptist church was a decided success. The pipe organ in this church is the second largest in the state.

Owing to the funeral of Dr. Lutterloh the afternoon session was merged into the one held last evening; for this same reason the brilliant reception planned for the visitors was aban- doned. Among the speakers of the evening were Mrs. A. w. Troupe of Pine Bluff, state president, who is a woman of remarkable poise of manner and a gifted speaker. Among other things Mrs. Troupe in rem inecent mood mentioned that 23 years ago, 23 women of Arkansas, organized the first federation of women's clubs in the state, and to- day one of these women is presi- dential campaign manager.

Legislation for the District during

extent the period of readJuStment

ton of tenants except for non-pay-
ment Of rent, devised TO prevent prof.
iteerine in rents during the war Pc
riod when the increase in population
here caused great congestion, was eX-
tended for three months after peace.
Fearing that this legislation might
not meet the situation, congress later
enacted the so-called Ball rent COM
mission law. which provides for the ap-
pointment of a commission to supervise
renting of properties in the District and
TO adjust differences between landlord
and tenant This law IS TO repeal the
Salisbury act. and to be operative lot

THE COURTS.

Litigation in Washington in 1919
showed a decided advance over previous
years. A total of 2,224 suits was insti-
tuted in the office of John r. Young,
clerk of the District Supreme Court,
during the past year. On the equity
side, which includes divorces, 1,010 cases
were started, while LIZA suits at law
for damages and accounts were insti-
tuted.
In the preceding year only 1856 suits
were filed. of which 1,O5S We're law
cases and 79S in equity.
The already crowded condition of the
dockets has been enhanced by the in
creased litigation, despite the efforts of
the justices to dispose of cases, and
unless additional justices are provided
the outlook for catching up with the
work of the courts is regarded as dis
couraging.

crease in Charges

Attorney +. A. Brogan wired the
office of the Omaha Live Stock Ex-
change from Chicago yesterday that
Judge Page of the I. S. district
court at Chicago, yesterday after
hearing arguments of attorneys for
the government and the live stock
commission men, held that Secre-
tary Meredith's order regulating
commissions is void, and granted a
temporary Injunction against en-
forcing it.
Secretary Merediths order under
took to prevent commission men
from raising their charges to ship
pers for purchasing and selling live
stock at the public markets.
Recently the members of the live
stock exchanges at various markets
revised their scale of commissions,
making them for the most part some
what higher. Secretary Meredith,
without any hearing, held these in
creases unreasonable and on August
l8, ordered the commission firms to
decrease their charges to the old
level. Actions were imme diately in
stituted in the United States courts
at Kansas City. Chicago and Omaha,
to restrain the enforcement of this
order.
The Chicago case was the first of
this series to be reached for hearing.

King George and Queen
Mother Alexandra in
Dispute Over Leases

London. Sept. s.-A dispute has
arisen between King George and
Queen Mother Alexandra regarding
lettings which have been made by
her majesty on the royal estate at
Sandringham.
The queen mother let a number
of building plots on W-year leases
at very low rents but received fees
in each case varying from $500 to
$4,000. The king claims that as
Alexandra is only tenant for life
of the royal property she cannot
appropriate these sums herself.
The matter has been referred to
the home secretary, who is supposed
TO settle any such disputes between
the sovereign and any member OF
the royal family. This is the first
occasion in "a years that dispute
between two members OF. the roya,
family has been referred TO the

Moses of New Hampshire
Blow to Advocates of

Wins by Big Majority
By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING

BY ARTHUR SEARS HENNING
Washington, Sept. Sin the first
test vote in the country on the
league of nations, the Wilson COW
enant has been emphatically con-
demned. -
The republicans of New Hamp
shire have renominated George n.
| Moses, an 'irreconcilable." who
voted consistently against the cove
nant, either with or without reserva-
| tons. He won by the remarkable
majority Of 10000 in total vote OF
$4,000 over Huntley L. Spaulding.
former Hoover aid, who advocated
the league with the Lodge reserva-
tons.
What makes the test the more sig
| nificant is that Moses won by sc
| large majority despite the con
certed efforts of the newly enfran'
chised women voters TO defeat him
because OF his opposition to equal
suffrage.
The result is severe blow tc
democratic hopes. New Hampshire
is the only eastern state President
Wilson carried in 1916. He won the
state by a plurality of So, as, the
result cf dissension among the re
publicans. The defeat of Moses
would have given the democrats rea
son to believe that New Hampshire
might easily be carried for Cox on
the league of nations issue alone.
The outcome, to the disappointment
of the democratic leaders. discloses
the New Hampshire republicans
strongly opposed to the Wilson
covenant and differing only in the
degree of their hostility.
Bears Out Predictions.
The New Hampshire test bears
out republican predictions concern
ing sentiment on the league issue in
| the east. The democrats, however,
still possess their faith to an en-
dorsement of the covenant by those
western states, which were carried
| by the president on the kept US out

President Wilson, it became
known today, is planning to warm
up the great and solemn referen-

of letters defending the league and
replying to criticisms.
Senator's Borah and Poindexter
deny that there is any danger of the
west going democratic on the league
issues.
"The situation in Idaho from a
republican standpoint is good" said
Senator Borah. "In fact. the trend
in the west is to the republican par
ty. The people are dissatisfied with
the present administration and they
want change. High taxes, high
prices and the high railroad rates
recently increased-all contribute to
the feeling of dissatisfaction"
Thinks West Republican.

believed the trend of opinion in the
far west was strongly republican.
