MICHELSON TO TEST
 EINSTEIN'S THEORY
(By the Associated press)

Chicago, June 21.-The Einstein theory of relativity is to be subjected to a new practical test by Prof. AL bert A. Nicholson of the University of Chicago, whose discoveries led to it's formulation. The forthcoming ex- pertinent is expected either to lend substantial support to the theory or to disprove it.
 Prof. Nicholson, who is now lectur ing at the University of Paris. is ex- pected back about July and the test is planned within the next year. It will be conducted under the auspices of the University of Chicago, either in this city or in some mountainous country.
 The experiment has been under taken at the request of Dr. Ludwick Silberstein of the Eastman Research Laboratories at Rochester, N. r., who has worked out it's terms. It is said that Professor Albert Einstein on his recent visit to the United States ex- pressed his belief in the efficacy of the experiment.

COOPER FOUR TIMES
 SENTENCED TO DEATH
By the Assv1ated Pressy

Warsaw, May 31. (By Mail - Three different times Captain Merion Cooper, of Jacksonville, Fla, while In Bolshevik prisoners camp in Rus sia for nine months, was notified that he was to be shot at sunrise. Then, for hours preceding the time set for the supposed execution, Cooper was grilled by soviet authorities who pre- tended to believe that he was rep resentative of the American govern ment. When the hour of execution came round no Bolshevik appeared but Cooper was never notified otherwise, being left in suspense day after day until he escaped.

LAY PLANS FOR BIG
 PUBLICITY EFFORT
FRANK HARRIS ON BOARD
Conway Man Accepts Place as One of Directors of Arkansas Advance
 ment Association.

Little Rock June 21.-Rapid head was is being made by the Arkansas Advancement Association in the or. ganiation of the state for it's big pub licity campaign. Frank Farris has been rendered a place on the state board of directors to represent Faulk- ner county, and has accepted.
 The board of directors at a recent meeting in Little Rock, selected Vir- gil c. Petite, vice president of the England National Bank, Little Rock, as president. The vice-presidents of the association are Joe Bertig, Para gould, c. c. Henry, Newport, and Harry A. Jones, Hot Springs. John M. Davis, president of the Exchange National Bank, Little Rock, and form CT state bank commissioner, is the treasurer and Clio Harper of the Parke-Harper News Service, Little Rock is the secretary.
 The officers, together with seven di rectors, will constitute the executive committee. Two additional vice. presidents are yet to be selected, as we'll as four directors to serve on the executive committee. The directors who were elected on the executive com mittee at the first meting are, w. E. Lemon, president of the Peoples Saw ing Bank of Little Rock, Chas. H. Mi.- Ter of the r-Butterworth En- gineering Company, and H. L. Ponder of Walnut Ridge.
 The Arkansas Advancement Asso- citation is not exploiting new idea, but will work in conjunction with commercial and other organizations in all sections of the state, thus making it possible to secure the services of experts which could not be afforded by the agencies existing prior to the organization of this association. The Arkansas Advancement Association will immediately begin a systematic campaign to demonstrate the loyalty of Arkansas. This will call for the wearing of a button which has upon it the inscription, "I am Proud of Ar kansas" The wearer will be supplied with information which he can give to all who speak lightly of the but ton.
 The Arkansas Advancement Asso- citation contemplates a campaign of constructive publicity through news apers and periodicals all over the
  ica's foremost writers will be brought to Arkansas for this purpose.
 President Petite and Treasurer Davis will accompany the directors of the campaign to many counties in the organization work. Each county is expected to supply the necessary in- formation which will be carried in phamplet form by the resident who goes outside the state, so the bulk of the work necessarily rests upon the county organizations.

NEGRO TOO FIERY
 IN SEEKING WIFE

It seems that Remus Dinwootty took entirely too strenuous methods in attempting to regain his wife o1 even to have look at her. This view of his recent effort had the boards today in the court of Justice G. M. Easterwood and the negro was fined $50 for aggravated assault.
 According to the evidence, Din- wootty went to the home of his moth er-in-law, Laura Thompson, four miles west of Conway, where his wife was quartered, and demanded entrance. It was refused him, whereupon Din. wootty had recourse to his artillery and fired a shot through the wall His bravado did not frighten the ne- gresses and he camped awhile in peace and then departed. He was arrest ed on charge of aggravated assault.
 Dinwootty is from Little Rock and is estranged from his wife.

LAUNCH STATE MOVE
 FOR CENTRAL CLUBS

A movement for the formation of Central College clubs in every town and city in Arkansas where the col lege has alumni and former students, was launched at banquet given by the Little Rock Central Club at the Second Baptist church last night. Speakers at the meeting included President Doak s. Campbell and Dr. J. w. Conger, president emeritus. The success of the Little Rock club has been remarkable, and it is be- lieved that graduates and former students as we'll as the college can be much benefited by the establishment of others.

U. S. PREVENTS WATER
 POWER DEVELOPMENT
tBv the Associated Press)

New York, June -Manufacturer interested in the subject of water power, from the standpoint of the consumer, assembled here today for a conference called by the Water Power League of America to discuss the ques- tions of power, power shortage, cost of fuel and amendments to be asked to the federal power act. The league hopes to induce private capital to in vest in the enterprises of water pow CT development to relieve power short age and reduce the cost of power to the consumer.
 The water league assails the work ings of the federal power act as "de- trimental to water power develop ment and asserts that the act has made it practically impossible for private enterprises to engage in these undertakings" The league also as- serts that the federal act has taken from the several states all their rights to intrastate streams within their borders and places them in charge of the federal power commission, which is composed of the secretary of was as chairman, the secretary of the inter- for, and the secretary of agriculture. Also it is asserted that the act takes from congress the power it has exer- cised and also takes from the war de- partment the authority vested in it by the constitution and relegates these powers to the commission.
 Officials of the water power league assert that there are on file at Wash ington today more than 200 applica- tions for permits and licenses to de- velop water powers. The total horse power of these projects is estimated at more than 10000, ,000 and if they were carried to completion it would require several billion dollars to finance them. League officials say, that without eX
 ception, all these projects have been halted by rules and regulations pro- mulgated by the power commission which passed out of existence March 4 with the change of administration.
