However, he applied the brakes and shouted a warning to the fire man, and both men jumped.
 The track for a consider able distance was badly torn up, and the passenger engine was damaged Two baggage cars left the track, but neith-

COLE CONFIRMED
 THROUGH MISTAKE
Attorney General Refuses to Issue Commission to Bat
 esville Man

Washington, Aug. 27-Hav- ing been confirmed by the Senate Wednesday night by Mistake, Attorney General Daughtery today refused to issue a commission to Judge Charles F. Cole of Batesville to be United States attorney for the Eastern district of Arkansas to succeed June P. Wooten. By a mistake that rarely occurs Judge Coles nomination was repot ted to the Senate for confirmation without the Senate's judici- ary committees knowledge or previous action. Senator Nelson of Minnesota, chair man of the committee, said that the nomination was re- ported favorably without his knowledge and that the judi ciary committee had not even considered it.
 He also said that the clerk of the committee must have inadvertently reported it along with a number of other nominations upon which fav- orable action had been taken. The judiciary committee now has the charges which were filed by Senator CaraWas' up- on the raquest of Senator Robinson, who turned them over to his junior colleague before he sailed for Europe two weeks ago. The charges consist of a Little Rock court record relating to a Beebe business transaction involving Cole.

 Ball, who shot them, making It necessary to hustle Ball out of this locality to prevent pos sible lynching.

He claims he was threatened and drew his gun. a .44-caliber automatic, and fired unintentionally. The bullet is said to have gone through Burrows heart and Holcomb. They were taken to the residence of a physi- clan, but both were dead with in thirty minutes. Ball sur rendered to Sheriff Caldwell.
 The "Forty-niners" show was part of a carnival that was putting on exhibitions at the park. Threats also were heard against Mayor Kelly, it is said. The shooting came when friends of Hughes, the man under arrest, attempted to take him from the Marshal

 uries Last Year

The American people will have their luxuries no matter what the cost, if the figures announced by the Internal Revenue Bureau regarding it's collections for the fiscal year ending June 31, 1921, are any indication.
 These figures show that the people of this country paid almost S1,000,0 100000 in taxes on luxuries during the past year.
 So far as the tax is con- cerned the automobile seems to be the most popular form of enjoyment indulged in by the American people. The theatre, including moving pie lures and similar entertain would seem to rank next.
 That the people will not their stomachs no what it costs is indi- cated by the fact that they paid last year more than ESQ., 100000 for soft drinks, candy and chewing gum.
 More than $8,OOO,0O0 was paid in taxes on cosmetics, perfumes, toilet soap and similar articles, and more ta2e ta2es SSoea S eaiRgfas i499f afRsi Rsdt ten, is his and other sporting goods.
 When it is shown that the tax paid last year on chewing gum amounted to $1, 1882, IT, 21, it may be easily under stood how one of the large manufacturers of chewing gum was enabled to pay sev- eral millions of dollars for an entire island off the pacific coast a year or so ago.

FLOUR MILL IN INTERIOR NEAR
 COMPLETION

The building now under construc- tion to house the flour mill which was shipped to Fairbanks last fall by the Flour Mill Corporation, a branch of the Panama Valley Agri, cultural Association, is rapidly uear. ing completion.
 The mill house is situated on Gar. den island, beside the yard tracks of the railroad, and abuts upon the Palmer and Field warehouse which was originally intended for the mill, but later found to be unsuit- able. The Palmer and Field build. ing of two floors for the principal for storage and other purposes in conjunction with the milling.
 The new building is a structure of considerable proportion, consist, of two floors for the principal ma chinery, large well lighted and well ventilated baseme ent. and an attic. The foundations are of heavy tim Der. and are set in concrete. The supporting posts will later be re- placed by concrete.
 The roofing consists of flat iron. sealed with solder, and is the best in the way of suitable roofing for this country.
 NJ. D. Snodgrass. formerly supern- tendent of the Fairbanks agricultural experiment station, and who is now engaged in commercial farming, is in active charge of the enterprise. Mir. Snograss states that the con- struetion of the building which was begun by the contractors, MT. Fischer and MT Camirand, early in the month, will be completed in another week and that the installation of the machinery will then be started. Every part is there, and ready to be placed. so there will be little time necessary to have the mill in opera tion.
 The power will be furnished by a boiler and steam engine, thus keep ing the fuel money in the country, as would not be the case should d gas engine have been decided upon to furnish the power. A boiler and engine house will be constructed on the northern side of the mill build ing, thus eliminating any extra handling of coal or wood hauled by train.
 The flour mill, when ready to operate. will represent, with the buildings, an investment of apprOxi- mately $l7,O0O. Of this amount only $3,O00 remains to be subscribed.
 The mill in operation. says MT Snodgrass. will mean a new valua- tion on farming lands in the interior He believes that when it becomes possible to have the grain converted into flour and mill products. each quarter section of land in this dis trict will immediately increase in value by at least S1,O00. The mill will create a new market for the farmer, who will in turn supply the local demand for grain products, thus keeping the money which now goes to outside dealers and trans. portation companies. in the country.
