CHICAGO. Aug. 30.-Cong. James
". Good. Republican. chairman OF the
ilouse Appropriation Committee. on
the eve OF the opening OF the inquiry
by the Senate subcommittee into the
fast-growing scandal OF Presidential
campaign contributions, came for
ward last night with a sensational
charge that Democratic office holders
had violated the Corrupt Practices
Act by leyying political assessments
on Federal employees.
He charged that Secretary OF Agri-
culture IL. r. Meredith and Wilbur
Marsh, treasurer of the Democratic
National Committee, became directors
in an Iowa club, which was organized
To obtain money from Federal en-
ployes In secret.
He demanded that the Senate sub
committee make n sweeping investi-
cation OF his charge that an iowa
woman postmaster, among others,
had been directed to contribute per
cent OF her salary.
LEVIED On POsTMAsTERs.
Representative Good said:
Governor Cox knows, or ought to
know. that it is violation OF the
corrupt practices act to solicit cam
paign contributions from a Federal
officer or employe.
Notwithstanding this the Illegal
club organized by MIR. Marsh and Mr..
Meredith. now Secretary OF ,Agricul-
ture, wrote letters to postmasters

Indianapolis, Nov. Investigation
involving Attorney General Palmer's
connection with the conspiracy case OF
125 coal operators and miners will be
made by Judge A. b. Anderson in the
federal District Court. according to a
notice sent the attorney general by
court officials.
Judge Anderson declined to discuss
the notice which said certain mat
ters" would be inquired into, but 1t
was understood the attorney general
had been invited to court because of
his orders that certain evidence should
not be submitted at the conspiracy
trial
These orders, the attorney general
has said, conform with an agreement
made during the coal strike last year
In Judge Anderson's presence. Dan
w. Simms, who resigned as special as
sistant attorney general in charge of
the conspiracy case, has said that the
attorney generals order, "cut the
heart out of the case"
Court officials also declined to say
whether the government will be ready
to proceed with the trial but indica-
tions were that continuance would
be asked because most of the defend
ants have not been brought within the
Jurisdiction of Judge Anderson's court.
These defendants include operators
and miners in Ohio, Pennsylvania,
West Virginia and Illinois.
Correspondence between the depart
ment and Mr. Simms and all data hav-
ing Il bearing on the proceedings have
been assembled. 1t was understood the
attorney general planned to go over
the papers during the next few days.
While some officials thought it pos
sible that further action by Judge An
derson might warrant the attorney
general in making public Il statement
of his position ION all phases of the
proceedings" the opinion was eX-
pressed that unless the judge himself
threw additional light on the proposed
inquiry, Mr.. Palmer would remain
silent.
Although in no way connecting the
Simms controversy with matters to
be investigated by Judge Anderson,
Mr.. Palmer maintained that his posi-
ton with respect to using the coal con-
spiracy evidence a second time was
1.-THE only right and proper" position to
take.
He was represented as feeling that
to use the evidence in the Forthcoming
case would amount substantially to
placing the defendants twice in jeop-
ardy. Compliance of the miners and
operators with the injunction mandate
of the court settled that phase of the
proceedings, Mr.. Palmer was said to
hold, which prompted him to instruct
Mr.. Simms to exclude such evidence
from the second prosecution.

HIGHWAY WORK
 ON IN EARNEST
ION ALL THREE DISTICTS
Dirt is Being Moved by Large Crews on Damascus, Palarm and Vi-
 lonia Roads.

With the breaking of ground today
 on the Conway and Vilonia highway
 work is now in progress on all three
 of the districts for which contracts were awarded to the Oliver-Arkansas Construction Company. Under Sub contractors Mehler & McNabb, a force of men today began work on the Vi lonia road near Holmes store, eight miles east of Conway. At this point slight detour will be made to straighten the road and cross P;.larm creek at better location.
 Lusk Brothers, who have the sub- contract for the earth excavation on the Conway and Palarm highway, and who constructed a big camp at the site of the old schoolhouse two miles south of Mayflower last week, began moving dirt yesterday. The first sec road will be a five-mile strip extend ing from the section house just north of Palarm to a point about one mile above Mayflower. In this section the road will be moved slightly at num- erous places, in order to straighten it and make it more closely parallel the Missouri Pacific tracks. The railroad crossing at Palarm will be moved about one-quarter mile north to more level ground, avoiding the present dangerous crossing.
 On the Conway Damascus road J. F. Rick, sub-contractor, is making good progress in the Cadron bottoms. The right-of-way for the borrow pit and the road, which will be in all 100 feet wide, has practically been cleared and a considerable amount of grading on the big dump has already been done About 50 teams and a large force of men are at work on this section. From the ridges which separates Cadron and Beaver Fork bottoms, 1,300- foot steel bridge, with concrete floor 16 feet wide, will be constructed, and the remainder of the highway across the bottoms will be hard surfaced on an embankment ranging from six to 12 feet high, several feet above the high-water mark.
 The contractors state that they ex. pect to add greatly to the present forces on all the highways and will soon have a small army at work or the Faulkner highways. Local teams and labor are being given employ ment at good wages and it is stated that there will be plenty of work fol all who desire it during the construct ion of the roads.

COTTON OUTLOOK VERY DfSCOURAGINC FINE PROSPECT YANIShES Boil Weevil and Plant Diseases Work Havoc in Bottoms aud are Dam
 aging Hill Crops.

Within the past three weeks one of the most promising prospects for a bumper cotton crop ever known in Faulkner county has been supplanted by situation that today looks gloomy, to Say the feast. Excessive rains and cool weather during July and the first half of August are re- sponsible for the shift from optimism to pessimism in the outlook for the cotton yield in this county.
 Although the damagae is most se- were in the river and creek bottom lands, complaints are beginning to be heard during the past few days of almost as bad a condition in the up- lands. The boil Wetvil, according to all reports, is doubtless causing more damage generally throughout the county than ever before. On many of the river bottom crops not bloom has appeared on the stalks in two weeks, the weevils puncturing every square as fast as it forms. Sandy land is reported to be suffering some what less than heavy black land from the ravages of the weevil, but it is stated that they arc prevalent prac- tically everywhere.
 Added to the weevil damage, num- erous insects have been at work on the plant and rust, blight and other plant diseases have wrought great damage in many fields. Planters who in the first part of July thought they had prospect of bale to the acre now would be thankful if they knew one-third to one-half bale to the acre would mature. The situation is be- coming almost as bad in the hills as in the bottoms, and the uplands have the disadvantage of having a later crop with fewer matured bolls and a greater opportunity for weevil dam age.
 Similar conditions have been report ed from other portions of Arkansas and other states, and it is believed that when the governments report of the condition of the crop as of Aug ust 25 is published next week it will reflect the situation in it's true light and cause a reaction from the recent severe slump in the New York and New Olreans markets, which have dropped nearly $40 bale in the past two weeks.
 While the cotton outlook at present is discouraging, there is distinct en- couragement in the fact that Faulk- her county is producing this year one of the best crops of corn, hay and other feedstuffs that has been made in many years. Hundreds of thousands of dollars which have had to be sent to other states this year or feed will be kept at home next year as a result. lpa1 1Lanl5s for sale a+ thi offica

FOR TORPID LIVER
Tennessee Lumberman Talks of His Successful Use of Black -Draught
 for Colds and Headaches.

Jamestown, Tenn.-T have used Thedford's Black-Draught for years, in fact it is the only liver medicine that does me any good." says MT. L. A. Ragan, a well-known lumberman of this place. "When I was single, used 1t for headaches, and especially if I get cold and feel feverish, I take a good dose of Black-Draught, and 1t sets me right.
 Since I have been married, have used it in my family, and never have found its equal for torpid liver or dis arranged stomach, especially with children. I can recommend Black. Draught, and gladly do so."
 Every member of the family occa. sionalfy needs the assistance that Black-Draught can give, in helping to cleanse the system and relieve or pre- vent the troubles that come from a lazy, torpid liver.
 If your liver is not doing it's duty, you may suffer with headache, consti- patton, biliousness, indigestion, etc. Unless relief is obtained, serious sick. ness may result. In it's long and suc- cessful use, Thedford's Black-Draught has .been found in thousands of cases to relieve such disorders, by stimulat- ing the liver to do it's important work.

STATE TO GET S15,000
 FOR REHABILITATION

Little Rock, Aug. 24.-The state of Arkansas will get. $15,000 from the government to be used in the rehabili- tation work, provided under an act approved by the president on June 5. The state however must match this with an equal amount from some source. The money is to be expended in providing the necessary training for persons engaged in industrial pursuits who become incapacitated by reason of accident or ill health and who must seek other means of livelihood. It is an extension of the work that was undertaken by the government in be- half of wounded soldiers. This ap- plies however strictly to civil pursuits rather than military.

MAKES STRONG PLEA
 FOR HOUSLEY PARDON

Little Rock, Aug. 24-Will H. Mar tin of the Hot Springs bar, former U. $. district attorney, has presented to Governor Brough a strong petition signed by a large number of Hot Springs citizens, asking for the pardon of A. H. Rousley of Hot Springs, who was convicted in the fall of 1919 on a charge of receiving stolen property and sentenced to one year in the pen itentiary. The governor said that he was not prepared to pass upon the petition at this time, but that he wished to make further investigation of the testimony. He therefore grant ed stay of execution in the case un- til October 1. The petition alleges that new evidence has been discovered which tends to establish an alibi and 1t is further alleged that the accused sas been subnormal since infancy and that his mother is in a very critical state of health.
 At the same time a petition was presented in the interest of Albert Powers of Hot Springs, who was con- victed in 1916 on a charge of trans porting liquor and fined $2O0. A stay in this case was granted for 60 days on the ground that the important pa pers bearing upon the application for pardon had been lost and also because he had served II months in the army since his conviction in 1916.
