MORGAN VENEER @,
 10 DISMANTLE: AND
 SELL. PLANT HERB: ]:
$100,000 Enterprise Has Been Closed for One
 Year

s. M. Kelly, manager of the Morgan Veneer Company, corner of West Fourth avenue and the Iron Mountain tracks, announced yesterday that the machinery and buildings of the plant worth in the neighborhood of S100,OOO soon will be advertised for sale
 The plant which has been closed for more than year probably will be dismantled. The machinery, MT. Kelly said will be sold as lot or piecemeal
 Conditions are unfavorable at this time, it is said, for the resumption of work at the plant and it is proba ble that the machinery will be sent else where, if not bought by mills in this section The lack of gum timber in this section which the company manu- factured into veneered lumber is giy- en as the cause of it's original shut down some time ago. The company's $ production was unusually high while it was in operation here and with a scarcity of available timber in the immediate vicinity of Pine Bluff its shutdown was matter of course.
 The Morgan Veneer company was established here six years ago and be- gan operations in the fall of 1914. It's president was w. B. Morgan and there we're several local officers and stockholders.

Daily Paper is
 Called the Best
 Medium for Ads

Indianapolis, June 8.-The daily newspaper was extolled as the best advertising medium in departmental meetings of the convention of the As sociated Advertising clubs of the world here today. In the retailers and church advertising departments, news paper advertising was preferred, while in other sections the poster, direct mail and films were advocated as the best media for other tpes of advertis- ing.
 Frank A. Black of Boston, told the retailers that the newspapers provid- ed the ideal vehicle for up to date store advertising, because of it's form electricity, frequency and cost. The Rev. Horace Westwood of Toledo de- clared that broad type of advertis- ing appeal, carried in daily newspa- pers and dealing with the service the church is rendering, will bring better results in the long run for the church than advertising designed for the immediate object of gathering a crowd.

Saenger Likely to Control All
 Theatres Here

Operation of Pine Bluffs three theatres by the Saenger Amusement company of New Orleans is indicat- ed, it is believed, by the requirement of the Best and Orpheo theatres from U. B. Simon, under whose ananage- ment they have been operated for some time. The deal is reported to have been practically closed yester- day by E. M. Clark, general manager of the Saenger corporation, who has been here for several weeks, tho final transfer has not been effected.
 Only short time ago a New Or leans man acquired the lease and equipment of the Hauber theater The corporation plans the erection of new, high-class vaudeville house here, in addition to the other houses. it has been stated.
 Confirmation of the deal for the Orpheo and Best is only awaited from New Orleans, to make the deal binding, it is said.
 The price paid for the two theaters is given as about $60,000, which in. cludes the business and equipment Tke Best building is owned by the Dr. J. F. Simmons estate and the Or pheo by June Ingram.
 Booking of pictures at the Best and of vaudeville at the Orpheo will be continued for several weeks, but terms of the sale provide for the transfer of the property Saturday, ii is siad.
 Both Clark and Manager E. B Bloom of the Chamber of Commerce state that the purchase of the thea ters by the company will aid the new theater, proposed here, rather thar retard it.

Henry l.. Wilson, However, Opposes Policy Leading
 to War"
SAYS ADMINISTRATION
 CREATED HAVOC THERE
Suffragists Refuse to Abide by Time Limit and 'Pro" and "Anti" Ar gument Continue to Wax
 Warm

Chicago, June S.-Among those heard tonight by the resolutions com mlttee was Henry Lane Wilson of Indiana, former American ambassador to Mexico, who pleaded for platform declaration recognizing "our direct Iresponsibility" for conditions in Mexi- co and pledging the party to "full protection" of American property in Mexican territory. He said, however, he did not advocate action (which would lead to "intervention or war" "The present administration said MT. Wilson, displaced from it's legiti-, mate place legally installed govern ment and brought on chaos. Finally l in blind, unskillful attempt to reme- dy the injury it had done, it set up a pure military autocracy without the consent of the Mexican people. As a result continual chaos has reigned and the outlook today is black as it was seven years ago."
 The meeting also was colored by a woman suffrage argument which was allowed to run far beyond the time limit. Leading the suffragists, Mary Garrett Hay of New York, asked the republican national organization to take some action which would insure ratification of the suffrage amend ment, and Mary G. Kilbreth of New York, head of the National association Opposed to Women's Suffrage, argued that the opposition to suffrage would be the best party policy.
 Suggested blanks on child welfare, education, establishment of federal women's bureau, vocational training, public health and morals, and inde- pendent citizenship for American wo- men who marry aliens were presented by committee from the National League of Women Voters.

 q would rather hold the republi can convention up as an example to the San Francisco meeting than to be forced to have to deprecate it's stand, should it dodge this question.
