Df. Branner VIII Make Oil Survey
 Of The Statv

One of the most important an- nouncewents made since the dis. covery of oil in Arkansas, is that Dr. John c. ,tranner of California former state geologist of Arkan- sas. will make thorough survey Of the state for he purpose of determining it's possibilities for the development of oil and gas. In communication addressed to Commissioner of Agriculture linn G Fergus'n. June IT 1920, specifying ten suhjec demard- attention in the development of the states resources, Dr.. Bran- ner places that of a report on petroleum and natural gas as second on the list. He was ar- pointed state geoiogist of Arkan- sas by Governor Hughes thirty two years aao, and during the 1 next six ears made surveys at an expense to the state of $lo0,. 600. producing eighteen volumes l of reports which have been con 1 servatively estimated worth mil- lions of dollars to the state.
 The prospect of again securing the distinguished services of Dr.. Branner is due in a large part to the enterprise of the recent National Democratic Convention.
 It had long been the ardent hope If all citizens of Arkansas that , some means might be found whereby Dr lsranner could be induced to return ard complete the survey which he was com pelled to abandon in 1892 on ac. count of the failure of the legis- lature to appropriate funds 10 appropriate funds to defray the expenses of the work.
 Dr.. Branner assured Governor
 Brough that he Is much interest," cd in the State of Arkansas and i it's possibilities, and inlimated that he would be willing to fore go several attractive offers which ne now has under cnnsideratign some of them being from foreign governments and consider a reasonable offer to make an l gas and mineral survey of Ark ansas.
 Upon his return to Little Rocl i, Governor Brough conferred wisl. Fuik & kiffeI, prominent ol operators of Little Rock, anG urged them to enter iuto neguta- tions with Dr. Branner. As. resu | of correspondence cover

METHODS TO REDUCE AUTO
ACCIDENTS DISCUSSED
Electric Railway Association Men
Hear Addresses at At
lantic City.

ATLANTIC CITY, n. j.. October IL.
Methods of reducing automobile ac-
cidents, which, it is estimated, cause
a death every thirty-one minutes in
the United States, were dealt with in
an address by C.. NJ Talbert. director
of streets and sewers of st. Louis and
chairman of the public safety section
of the National Safety Council, at the
opening session here yesterday of the
American Electric Railway Associa-
ton convention. While accidents from
other causes are decreasing through
safety work, accident prevention in
connection with automobiles mas been
neglected, he added.
Aroused public sentiment through
education is the most forceful 1nnu-
ence which can be brought to bear
upon accident prevention, Mr.. Talbert
said
e. r. Hill of New York, president of
the American Electric Railway Engl-
lneers' Association, in his annual ad-
dress declared the ebb in traction af-
fairs has been reached and better
times can be expected. He showed
that from the beginning of the war
until August 1 this year lightweight
street railway lines, valued at $780,
600. 900, had been forced into receiver
ships or been foreclosed.
.People of the country are realiZ-
ing" he added, that the ,transporta-
ton system of the country is essential
| tn their welfare and as a consequence
! there has been a great change in the
oninion of the public regarding all

Mix-Up Over Transfers and

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, October IL
Owing partly to the hardness of the
United States Shipping Board in paying
debts and partly to the mix-up caused
by the transfer of government-owned
vessels to private American firms,
there has arisen in Scandinavian ports
a situation demanding Immediate at
tention.
The steamer Yukon. supposedly
owned by the French American line,
has been libeled for 100000 kroner
(normally about $l35,0O0). while the
threat is made that the next United
States Shipping Board boat that en-
tiers Stockholm will be libeled for an
equal amount unless repair and de-
murrage bills due here are paid forth
with.
The libels that are holding the
Yukon have detained her since Au-
gust rs. The crew of the ship has
not been paid for two months ana
there are on board supplies sufficlent
for only a few days. The master mas
received no word from the owners
for more than three weeks. The Snip
ping Board gave to local brokers ana
chambers guarantees of the payment
OF DlliS they neld against lle Sleaiiei
Lake George. which cleared more
than month ago, but the bills are
still unpaid. The steamer Waliowa
has been held up ninety-seVen days,
She was grounded near Carlsberg and
the two tugs that salvaged her nave
now libeled her for 10000 kroner
(normally about $46.000).
Altogether. there is due to Scandi-
nayian brokers and chambers from
American ships about $270,O0O. Ihe
men to whom this money is due
threaten to libel every American yes
sci that comes into port until! their
bills are paid. This situation is CIV
ing American shipping bad name
in this part of the world. 1t may also
cause serious trouble to ships that
are in no way responsible for it,

POLICE TARGET RANGE
FAVORED BY HENDRICK
Declares Men Should Be Given
Facilities for Revolver
Practice.

Commissioner J. Thilman Hendrick,
who supervises the police department,
has declared himself in favor Of es-
tablishing an indoor range where po-
licemen and detectives could get re-
volver practice regularly.
Need for such range was cited by
speaker at a meeting of the Home
Defense League last week. The police
were formerly permitted to use the
range under Polls Theater, but sew
eral months ago the government took
this room for storage purposes.
II am most decidedly in favor of
obtaining a range for the police" said
the Commissioner. IF men have to
use revolvers, they should be given
facilities for becoming. proficient in
the use of the weapons"
A number of instances have arisen
in the past year in which police and
detectives have been forced to engage
in pistol duels with violators of the
law, emphasizing the need for train
ing the force in accurate pistol fire.
Need for a revolver range for the
police department is particularly de-
sirable under present conditions,
| when there is a large turnover in the
! police department., it is stated, result
ing in the appointment of new men
constantly.
