Negroes Must Hang.

Little Rock, August 11.-Attorney General Utley says that in his opin- ion the Elaine negroes have ex- hausted all possible remedies in the supreme court of Arkansas, and that the way is clear for the governor to again set the date for their cleo trocution. Governor McRae, how ever, said he wished to make a further investigation of the court procedure before he takes further action in the case. He does not wish to appear precipitate, but it is certain that he will not delay when assured that there can be no further interference on the part of the court with his orders. There still exists in the opinion of those interested in the defense a possible remedy in the federal courts, but just what course this will take has not been made known by counsel.

May Lease Railway.

Little Rock, Aug. 1.-The latest news with reference to the possible resumption of business on the M & N. A. was the receipt of a letter yesterday by the Arkansas Railroad Commission from the Service Truck Company of Kansas City, making inquiry about the possible purchase, lease or rent of any part of the tracks. It is presumed that this company contemplates utilizing the roadway for motor truck service. There have been vague rumors from time to time that some interest would sooner or later take over the M & N. A. property. The Missouri Pacific and the Illinois Central have been most prominently mentioned iE connection with the purchase of the bankrupt railway.

There is for them none of the spirit of adventure, none of the enthusiasm, none of the glory that the clash of armies might bring, but there is for them all of the loneliness, all of the dread and all of the agony that war creates Tortures of the body are not so poignant as those of the mind, and all of the war mothers have slipped their fill of mental an guish.
 The United States, of course, will do full honors to this unknown son who gave his all in the common cause. He will be for the nation the type of all who went forth to con quer orito die. But the United States will offer the same honors to the unknown mother, who was as much responsible for victory, as the un- known son.

Asks For Respite

Little Rock, Aug. 10.-A letter has been received from Helena correspondent, by the Attorney Gen eral, suggesting that the governor should be requested to fix another date of execution for the Elaine negroes, since the recent action of the Supreme Court of the United States in denying writ of error. The letter was turned over by Gen eral Utley to Governor McRae, who made no comment upon it. The governor has said at all times that he would not act further until the courts had finished with the case. Attorneys for the condemned negroes have not yet abandoned hope of se- curing relief through the Federal courts. The state, however. calls
 attention to the fact that the Elaine
 cases are now in precisely the same status as was the Leo Frank case from Georgia when that case was taken to the Supreme Court of the United States. Attorneys for the state insist that there is no Fedora question involved which has no
 already been settled in the Franl
 case.

 Who will be the five or six to represent this country is still an undecided question, but President serious consideration to long list of elgibles. The president himself does not intend to sit as a member of the American delegation, though he probably will open the meeting with an address limiting broadly of the American policies that he hopes to see receive general accept ance It is certain that at least one United States senator will be q member of the delegation, and one of the places may go to a woman.

Armistice Day Acceptable; Delegates Not Named; Japan Last Country to Agree On Date.

Washington, Aug 10.-Unanimous II, for the opening of the dsarma- mcnt conference was reached yester- day in the informal negotiations among the powers that are to be represented. Japan, the last Of the participants to give her consent, in- formed the State Department through the American embassy at Tokyo that she would gladly accept" the Amer ican suggestion to begin the con ference on the fourth anniversary of the cessation of the world war

The in- vitations are expected to go forward from Washington without delay and officials believe that prompt replies will hasten the negotiations into their second phase, a consideration of the list of subjects that are to be discussed around the council table.
 It is the expectation that the in- vitations will be brief in text, stat ing in the broadest terms the general purposes for which the United States has called the powers together. The date and place of meeting will be
