GETS WORD FROM
 ATTORNEY COULTER

The first word from Attorney E.. Il. Coulter, who mysteriously disap- peared from his home here about Oc tober Is, was heard today when Cir cult Judge George W, Clark received a letter from MT. Coulter requesting that cases pending in circuit court in which he represented parties be con- tlnued until he could make arrange ments to handle them. He evidently referred to cases coming before the adoJourned term set for November 3, which Judge Clark afterwards post poned until the regular term.
 MT. Coulter's letter was dated at Denver, Colo, October 31, but the postmark indicated that it was mail ed at some point between Fl Paso Tex, and Los Angeles, Calf, on No. vember s.
 The letter, Judge Clark said, con. tained no explanation of Mr. Coulter's absence from home and made no re ference to his departure.

HUNTING PARTY IN A NARROW ESCAPE BOAT SINKS IN RIVER
Judge G. W. Clark and Wash CIibourn Return Home After Exciting
 Experience.

Feeling thankful that he was alive after a narrowing experience the pre- ceding night, Judge George w. Clark returned this morning to his home here after having made a narrow es- cape from drowning near Pine Bluff early Tuesday, when a houseboat car rying party of hunters sank in the Arkansas river.
 There was a total of F men with Judge Clark, including Wash Clibourn and k. H. Ward of Conway, in the party, who were travelling on a gaso- line launch, the "Olivet," owned by Frank Mobley of Little Rock. The party left Little Rock Monday morning, reaching the point where the launch sank about 10 o'clock Monday night. They tied up there for the night. At about 3 o'clock young Mob ley awoke and discovered the launch was leaking. He called to the sleep ing men. Within three minutes the l boat was on the bottom of the river. Several members of the party went down with it, but not until they had got outside the sleeping quarters. All escaped in their night clothing.
 The men hurried to a farm house nearby and spent the remainder of the night Returning to the launch they salvaged several articles of wear ing apparel.
 The launch. valued at 5000, is a total loss. Food, clothing, firearms, ammunition, equipment, etc, which went down with the boat, were valued at more than $6,000, it was estimated. It is not believed that the launch can be raised It was owned by MT. | Mobley

McNerlin of this city, who accompanied Dr. Bailey on trip to Little Rock at the time when the liquor was discovered in the car, were fined S20 each.

MILLERAND CANDIDATE
 FOR PRESIDENT OF FRANCE

Paris, Sept. 2O.-(By The A. P.)- The agreement of Premier Millerand. announced today, to become a eandi- date for the presidency to succeed Pres ident Deschanel, has virtually solved th7 presidential crisis as it is conceded by all sides in the chamber of deputies and senate that his election is a foregone conclusion. He would receive more than 700 votes, no other candidate officially entering the field.
 The premier's opponents have decided to refrain from voting and expect to muster about 100 blank ballots.
 The question uppermost in the dis cussion among the deputies and sena- tors at present is the formation of the new cabinet to replace that headed by NJ Millerand. At least two ministers of the Millerand cabinet are slated to go NJ Briand probably will become min ister of foreign affairs, with M. Jonnart as premier Former President Poincare's name has been mentioned as finance minister in place of Frederick Francois
 Marsal, although there is strong opposi 1 tion to M. Poincare in the chamber while he is popular with the senate.

NINTH SESSION OF COUNCIL
 OF LEAGUE OF NATIONS

Paris, Sept 2O.-The ninth session of the council of the League of Nations ad- journed today after having smoothed out difficulties between four nations in con- troversies which at one time threatened to result in war. Through it's action in the Polish-L Lithuanian crisis the council succeeded in getting the two countries to agree to an immediate suspension of hostilities pending a settlement of their dispute which both sides agreed to ac- cept.
 The Aland Islands question likewise is considered in a fair way for settlement A Finnish reservation, which at first ap- peared seriously to cloud the issue, was explained as not offering an insurmount- able difficulty and as having been made largely for cethnical reasons.
 League officials explained that although neither Finland nor Sweden was legally bound to accept the leagues decision they were morally bound to accept it. It was further pointed out that settlement Eff backed by public opinion would vir- tuafly compel acceptance"
