FRANCE COPIES YANK
 TRAIN DISPATCHING
(By United Press )

Paris, Aug. 21.-French railways have just decided to adopt the Amer ican telephone train dispatching sys- tenn.
 This constitutes the first and most important contribution to date to French industry resulting from the American intervention in the war and the American army's invasion of France.
 There's just one fly in the ointment at least in the> mind of the average Parisian. The latter is fully convinced that if he takes the French train dis patcher as long to get telephone con- nection as it does to get one in Paris no train will ever get outside of the city limits.
 Nevertheless, the recognition of the superiority of the American method is genuine and complimenting to Amer ica.

ural life in pr son. He was convicted in April. 1916 of charge of mur- der in the first degree and sentenced to life Imprisonment. One of the largest petitions ever filed in the of flee of the governor, signed by several hundred Arkansas County citizens, every county officer, the judge and the prosecuting attorney and the jury who tried the case, was submitted to the governor, recommending com munation. The penitent.ary commis- sions. also approved the petition, stating that McCown had rendered the state substantial service as a trusty, being a brick mason and me chanic, and that he had made a model prisoner. It Is said that the crime for which he was convicted was the continuation of long series of fam fly troubles with his father-in-law, a man named Gordon, whom he killed. Governor Brough said he believed Me Gown had been sufficiently punished and that he would make useful and lawabiding citizen. After some months of consideration of the num- erous petitions for clemency, the proc lamation was issued yesterday which had the effect of freeing McCown at once.

 tax at the time of collecting taxes next pre- cedng such election, shall be allowed to vote at any election in the State of Arkansas, pro
 Tided, that persons who make satisfactory
 proof that they have attained the age of twenty-pRe years since the time of assessing
 taxes next preceding said election and possess
 the other necessary qualifications, shall be per-
 mitted to vote. and provided further that the sad tax receipt shall be marked by dated stamp or written endorsement by the judges of election 10 whom it may be first presented
 as to prevent the holder thereof from voting more than once at any election. It is de- cared to be the purpose of this amendment to deny the right of suffrage to aliens and it IS declared to be the purpose of this amend 1 ment to confer suffrage equally upon both
 men and women. without regard to sex Pro-
 vided. that women shall not be compelled to serve juries.

The dispatching of trains by ytele- phone, after being perfected in the United States, was later adopted in Canada, Italy, and on several Eng fish lines as well as in some of the English colonies France still clung to the old time system of train dis patching by telegraph which is slow CT and less sure.
 No small sensation was caused in railway Circles in France, when for the first time American army railway eng .neers and trainmen were seen to dismount from their train, hook up their little portable telephone apara- tus to the nearest telephone post and telephone their dispatcher for instruc- tions. What caused still more sensa- tion was to see the American train men get them and that at once,
 Ow ng to the terrific deterioration of French railways and roll ng stock during the war and the difficulties of repairing them in Frances present handicapped situationit is only within the past few months that the French have been able to experiment with some of the newer and more practical methods introduced by the Americans
 To Monsieur Pie goes the distinc- tion of being the first train dispatcher in France-although he and the rest of his fellow dispatchers will be known as "regulateurs." He ic at present in charge of the first system between Paris and Chartres and to him falls the task of starting in to educate the future 'regulateurs" for all the French railways.
