NEGRO SENTENCED FOR LOVE
 AFFAIR WITH WHITE GIRL

lBy International News Service)
 Little Rock, June 23.--Conviction under statutory charge growing out of an alleged clandestine love affair with an Italian girl, whose name is rigidly guarded by officers, has land- ed Edgar Davidson, twenty -year-old negro in the Arkansas state prison for term of twenty-one years.
 Davidson possibly escaped being lynched upon his return to Helena, Ark, from St Louis, due to the se- crecy surrounding the most unique crime in the history of Arkansas courts Phillips county IS the only county in the state that has never had a "lynching bee" In order to protect the name of the county the trial of Davidson was held in secret session, and the name of the Italian girl has never been divulged.
 The negro, who formerly operated a fish market in the negro section of Helena, became intimate with the Italian girl and eloped with her. He was apprehended at St. Louis and re- turned here, being convicted when brought to trial.
 The climax of the elandestine love affair came when the girl in the case was disowned by her parents. She now is in Good Shepherd Home at New Orleans. Being of the dark bru- nette type, she was able for several months to pass as the mulatto wife of the negro.

The youngsters zwho portrayed the roses, the lilies, the Edaisies etc, brought a song of joy Eand cheer and message of hope, struth and love, until at the finale the heavy -burdened heart was frightened land the angel Miss Kate Anthony) Welcomed the soul into the Kingdom.

CAN'T GIVE FISH
 ANY STIMULATES
Attorney General Utley Calls Atten- tion to Law Designed to Preserve Sobriety of Everything From
 Minnows On Up.
From the Arkansas Gazette

From the Arkansas Gazette.
 Little Rock, June 23.-We gotta get substitute for the phrase "to drink like a fish" A fish can't drink any more. That is, he can't drink any thing but water, in which case the phrase, if anybody wanted to use it, would apply still.
 Section A of the Arkansas game and fish laws would indicate that the Volstead law and it's jolly little fore runner, the Arkansas bone dry law, have direct application to all the lit- tie fishes that swim the streams.
 Section A says nothing less than the following, to-wit:
 "It shall be unlawful for any per son to deposit, throw, drop or dis charge in any manner in any of the waters of this state, any substance, liquid or gas, or anything else that will or does intoxicate or stupefy, or in any manner injure any fish therein, whether done for the purpose of catching or taking fish or not; and any person violating this section of this act shall be deemed guilty of a felony, and, upon conviction, shall be confined in the state penitentiary for term of not less than one month, nor more than 12 months"
 It more or less casts the burden of proof on the law to show that what ever was cast into the stream is in toxicating, but current report has it that some of the various corn deriv- atives now on the market are not ma terially impaired by being diluted with casual river or so.
 Attorney General Utley recently looked the matter up for John w. Allen, secretary of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. MT. AL len was interested in whether the law barred the alleged sport of shooting fish, and if so, how. Mr. Utley gave as his official opinion that shooting fish is illegal. A rife bullet dis charged into the water in the general vicinity of fish is very likely to have the stupefying effect objected to in Section A, and MT. Utley is of the opinion that the "any substance" will include bullets fired from rifles.
 Mir. Utley did not comment on the legal effect of pickling the herrings in the native habitat, but the law speaks for itself and the law says from one month to 12 months for such picking or attempted pickling. It is believed that in some sections of the state more caution will be used in splitting in the creek.

FIRST IN FOURTH ROW
 IS ARKANSAS STAR
Location of Bear States Emblem in Old Glory Is Fixed by Con-
 gressiOnal Action.

Little Rock, June 24.-Do you know that every state in our Union has it's own individual star in Old Glory, and that its place in the field of blue is definitely fixed by law and executive order?
 In 1912, the 26th of October, the last executive order concerning the flag was made. It provided that there shall be six horizontal rows of eight stars each. The start IS made at the upper left-hand corner, and the states are in the order of their ratif- cation of the constitution and admis- sion to the Union.
 Thus to little Delaware goes the honor of being No. 1, star 1. Others Tn the upper row, from left to right, are: Pennsylvania, New Jersey. Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, South Carolina.
 Second row: New Hampshire, Vir- ginia, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Vermont, Kentucky, Tennessee.
 Third row. Ohio, Louisiana, Indi- ana, Mississippi, Illinois, Alabama, Maine, Missouri.
 Fourth row: Arkansas, Michigan, West Virginia, Nevada, Nebraska, Colorado, South Dakota, North Dako- ta.
 Fifth row. Oregon, Kansas, Flor ida, Texas, Iowa, Wisconsin, Califor- mia, Minnesota.
 Sixth row: Montana, Washington, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona.
 December z, 17S7, was the date on which Delaware's star was placed; February IA, 1912, the placing of that for Arizona. Therefore, the com pletion of our ntaion's flag consumed a period of 124 years. two months.

ELAINE NEGROES ARE
 TAKEN TO MARlANNA 4
Black Rioters Who Are to Have An other Trial Are Removed From
 State Penitentiary.

Little Rock, June 24.-Newspaper reporters here this afternoon pune tured in many places the veil of se- crecy thrown around the surrender to Phillips county officers of six of the Elaine riot negroes by the peniten- tiary commission. The negroes were spirited out of town and placed on board a fast east bound Rock slarid train with Marianna their destination.
 The penitentiary commission and Governor McRae, this morning agreed to turn the negroes over to Phillips county officers, thus overruling the previous action of the penitentiary warden, who acted on advice of the attorney general.
 The Phillips county officers prom ised that the negroes would be safely lodged in the Marianna jail. Their cases have been transferred on a change of venue from Helena to Mari anna.

BIRTH CONTROL FAVORED.
Social Workers Idea Is Applauded in
 Milwaukee.

Milwaukee, June 27-A suggestion that birth control be made part of social work was applauded at today's session of the family division of the National Conference of Social Work when Edward J. Lynde, executive sec retary of the Wisconsin Conference of Social Work, outlined the small-town problem of the social worker. "In a town of 25,000 in Wisconsin," he said, ''the city health officer and nurse boasted that they had cleaned up con- ditions in a certain hovel and thereby saved the lives of at least six feeble minded children. This only impressed on me more the absolute necessity of well directed social work While so- cial workers cannot allow the death thru misery of these incompetents, they can prevent their birth"
