Editor to Give
 Testimony in
 King Will Case

Chicago, July H.-John Rathom, publisher of the Providence (R. I.) Journal will be an important witness for Mrs. Mary c. Melvin, who with the aid of Gaston Means, is fighting to prove the validity of the alleged second will of James c. King, whose estate, now valued at $5,000,000, will become Mrs. Melvin's if the will is held genuine, counsel for Means an nounced today. They petitioned Cir cult Judge Baldwin to permit MT. Rathom, to make deposition that Means showed him the contested will in October or November, 1915. Judge Baldwin consented.
 It is the contention of the Northern Trust company, trustee of the estate, that Means, before he showed the will to anyone, made prolonged and thor ough investigation of Kings life, and of his friends, companions and busi- nes sassocites. He made this investi- gation from 1915 to 1917, the company asserts and it was not until 1917 that he produced the will.
 he d1d not make tnlS lnVeSClRat1On before he slowed anyone the will," Mrs. Melvin's attorneys declared. "He showed the will to Rathom in 1915, shortly after he found it. He asked MT. Rathom to have it photographed in the studio of the Providence Jour nal, because he wanted to send photo graphs to various typewriter manufac- turers so that he could determine what typewriter was used in writing the will. His long investigation from 1915 to 1917, was not preliminary to his suddenly producing the will, but was aftermath of the study of the will The investigation was made to get evidence of the genuineness of the will"

FOR BETTER SCHOOLS.

The school trustees of the various districts and the members of the Chamber of Commerce are going to make an efofrt to bring the schools in this section to a higher standard.
 It is one of the best things that the Chamber ever attempted. If it is carried through successfully throughout the state it will be one of the best things that ever happen ed for Arkansas.
 According to the report of the Russell Sage Foundation the schools of Arkansas rank forty-sixth among those of the United States in point of. development. In other words, the schools in 45 of our 48 states are better than those in Arkansas.
 Such report, published widely as it is, is one of the worst adver- tisemcnts that Arkansas could have. It is one of the greatest drawbacks to life in this state. It is thing that speaks badly for the future.
 In the city of Pine Bluff the schools are splendid, They also are excellent in the other larger cities of the state. In the more populous counties they are good. In Jeffer- son county the schools are very good and are growing better. It is in the rural sections the backwoods- that the schools are bad. The children in these sections are the ones who need to be reached. In this edu- cational campaign, therefore, the work that will be done in the cities will be largely unselfish. But it is as much the duty of the people of Pine Bluff and Little Rock and Fort Smith to see that the children in the remote Arkansas districts have an education as it is the duty of the residents of these communities to strive towards that end.
 One of the greatest things that can be done for better schools would be an cquable assessment of property throughout the state. Lands worth $160 per acre are assessed for $15 per acre, men who have personal property worth $10,000 are taxed on valuation of $500. This prevails throughout the state. It is one reason why the schools have not the money to hire experienced teachers or to build de- cent buildings. It is a significant thing that none of the candidates for the governorship has stressed this point.

15.00o families emigrated from Mex leo to Texas alone, the secretary or commerce and labor announces, ac- cording to Fl Universal today. The newspaper quotes provisional presl. dent De La Huerta as saying that lack of work in Mexico and better pay in the United States were the reasons for the exodus, which was aggrava- tated by recent strikes in Mexico. The government however, the presl- dent declared could not prevent em- ipration, which would be limiting personal freedom.

YIELDING AND AGREEING.

MT. Cox and MT. Roosevelt have ssyielded" to the presidents wishes regarding the league, according to MT. Harding, the republican nomi- nee.
 As a matter of fact, MT. Cox and Mir. Roosevelt never have been out of sympathy with Wilson's ideas as to the league.
 Yet the statement that the three of them are in accord on the subject provokes him to charge that they have yielded.
 MT. Harding, according to his own statements, is in accord with Mr. Lodge and Mir. Johnson and MT. Bo- rsh. There is no great difference be- tween them.
 But he looks at that in a different light-
 When the republican nominee and the leaders in his party decide to stand together they have merely reached an agreement.
 But when the democratic nominee and the leaders in his party decide to stand together, the nominee has ssyielded."
 At least that's the way MT. liar ding views it.

Bolivian Revolt in Three Cities
 is Successful

Buenos Aires, July 14.-Dr Jose Maria Escalier, chief of the republican party of Bolivia, which is reported to have overthrown the Guerra gov ernment, told the Associated Press today he planned to return to Bolivia within week, having received dis patches that the revolution had been successful in three of the principal Bolivian cities, La Paz, Oruro and Po- tosi. Dr. Escalier, who was presi- dential candidate of his party in 1917 and opposed Jose Guiterres Guerra, has made his residence here for sev- eral years but has made frequent trips to Bolivia and was made chief of the republican party last November. The republicans in Bolivia if success full seem likely to change the com plexion of South American interna- tional politics. 4,It is probable it will upset the recent accord between Bo- iivia and Chile relative to the form CTS aspirations for an outlet to the Pacific and new situation in the Tano-Arca controversy may be ere ated.
 Dr. Escalier acknowledged that while the Guerra government sought an outlet through Arci, the title to which is in dispute between Chile and Peru, the republican party claimed the outlet should be through the Chill ian port of Antofagasta. This was one of the ports that Bolivia lost to Chile in the war of 1880. He declared the new government purposed to withdraw the claim for the Araca outlet which was presented to the league of ma tions, and present instead claim for Antofagasta. He indicated Bolivia, which recently has been on the verge of hostility with Peru on account of the formers aspirations regarding Araca, would now draw closer to that country.
 He said the Bolivian national policy would be American and that she would follow the lead of the United States regarding the league of nations. While the army has apparently join ed the revolution and imprisoned President Guerra and his cabinet" he said, "this is fundamentally pop ular uprising for the restoration of the freedom of the press, fair cleo tions and other liberties. It is not merely an army mutiny."
 Confirmation of reports that the revolution has been successful has not been received by the Bolivian le- gation here.
