THREE 10 FORT
 SMITH FOR TRIAL
Justice of the Peace W. c. Benson Protested Innocence of Distilling Charges, But Officers Were Ob-
 durate--Three are Taken.

Despite his denials of guilt and pro- testations of innocence, Justice of the Peace w. c. Benson, was carried to Fort Smith Wednesday afternoon to answer charges of violating the liquor laws. With the Big Fork officer went his stepson, R. H. Briscoe, and John Williams, who had also been arrested when federal prohibition enforcement officers made their raid earlier in the day on an alleged still near Justice Benson's home.
 The trio of prisoners was in charge of Officer John T. Tisdale of Fort Smith and his son, Earle. These two assisted by Constable D, A. Hazel of Mena, made the raid. The party car ried with them to Fort Smith col lection of bottle, fruit jars, glass jugs and small wooden kegs, some of which contained mountain dew in liquid form, while others had nothing left but the odor. These containers were found, the officers state, at Bris- coe's home.
 OthSci AiSudlt ISpOiLtu tHe HHdllS of the remains of moonshine still in cave. located in hillside less than a quarter mile from Benson's house. Officer Tisdale reports that when the raIding party arrived the major DOT tion of the dist Hing apparatus had been either burned or carried away. He believes the raid was tipped off by some one in Mena. Ashes, still with red hot coals, were found at the cave, showing that the destruction by fire had been recently done.
 Justice Benson was arrested while seated at the breakfast table at his home He denied all knowledge of the cave and it's use as manufactory of white mule The other men also denied any connection with the mak- ing of liquor. The officers and their prisoners left for Fort Smith on No. for a hearing before the United States commissioner.

NO TIME EXTENSION
 FOR PAY|NClTAXES
Sheriff Thornton Talks With Governor McRae on Situation--Will Not En- force 259t Penalty Until Time for
 Sale as Delinquent. However.

There has been no extension of time for paying taxes, according to advices received Monday by Sheriff J. A. Thornton from Governor McRae. In long distance telephone conver- sation with the executive at Little Rock, Sheriff Thornton was informed that the governors proclamation did not change in any degree whatsoever the time for collection of taxes. The governor does request, however, that the county collector refrain from col lecting the statutory 25 per cent pen atty from those who fail to pay taxes within a specified time. This Sheriff Thornton will do, for the same policy has been used in previous years for the benefit of those who were unable to pay their taxes within the time limit. In talking with Sheriff Thorn
 ton, Governor McRae directed the Polk county official to collect taxes as usual and when the second Monday of May comes, make up the delinquent list as provided by law All those who pay after the second Monday in May will be required to pay the costs provided by statute for making and the list of delinquents, but not the 25 per cent penalty Governor McRae requests that this same policy be continued until the time for pub lie sale comes in June Those who have not paid taxes by that time will find that their lands win be sold and both costs and penalty added. The governor requests that everyone able to do so pay their taxes as promptly as possible. This includes highway as well as other taxes.

NEW YORK HIT BY
 DEADLY STORM
Two Deaths Charged to SO-Mile Gale Late Yesterday-Brooklyn Suffered Most, Tho Terrific Wind Swept
 New Jersey Town.

New York, March 29.--An S0-miis gale swooped down on New York late yesterday afternoon, tore off roofs. unrooted trees, caused accidents which have resulted in at least two deaths, and brought a touch of real winter. The wind was accompanied by drop in temperature from 78 at o'clock in the afternoon to 37 degrees at 10 o'clock last night, with indications of further drop to 30 degrees by morn ing.
 The storm assumed terrific force in some localities, tearing the roof from three houses in row in one Brooklyn street and slamming all three onto the front porch of another dwelling, d long block away.
 A Girl Buried in Debris.
 Calabria Lecci, 8 years old, playing in an abandoned movie theatre was buried in the debris. When the walls gave way to the gale. She was dead when extricated by firemen. Flying signs and sections of fence caused in jury to other persons. The other fatality was woman struck by a motor car.
 Brooklyn was struck hardest by the Wlnd, and It was there the greater part of the damage was done. The walls of synagogue under construc- ton in Flatbush wer blown to the ground.
 Plainfeld, N. J.. was struck by a terrific wind which suspended traffic, uprooted trees, disabled the fire alarm system and unroofed several houses in the business section. Peter Kane, 24, was seriously injured in the over turning of his wagon by the wind.
 Storms in Pittsburg and Buffalo.
 Pittsburgh and Buffalo reported blizzards late in the afternoon in con- trast to balmy weather of the earlier hours. Washington's thermometers recorded slump from S8 degrees to 60 in an hour, forcing the children suddenly to abandon their egg-rolling on the White House lawn and in the parks.
 The sudden drop in temperature aroused fears for the safety of the enormous pear, peach and plum crops in southern New Jersey, where the trees are covered with developed buds. Continued low temperature, it was predicted, would cause loss ex- ceeding 1 million dollars in that sec tion.

CARDINAL. ST YEARS. DIES
 AFTER A LONG ILLNESS
James Gibbons. Noted Catholic Pre- late, Succumbs Shortly Before Noon
 Thursday-Pope Blessed Him.

Baltimore, March 24--James Gar dinal) Gibbons, archbishop of Balti- more and primate of the American Catholic hierarchy, died at the arch episcopal residence here today after a prolonged .illness which mainly af- fected his heart. He was in his 87th year. The end came peacefully at 11:33 o'clock.
 Pope Benedict, who followed the course of Cardinal Gibbons illness with the deepest interest and sympa- thy, sent his blessings from Rome.
 Beside the cardinals bed stood every member of his household and when it was seen that the distin- guished prelate had passed away, the priests fell on their knees and began reciting the prayers for the dead.
 Telegrams were at once sent to Pope Benedict at Rome, Monsignor John Bonzano, apostolic delegate at Washington, and to every prelate of the American Catholic hierarchy, more than hundred in number, informing them of the cardinals death.
 As 1t is expected that most of the church dignitaries in the United States will attend. it is probable that the funeral will not take place much in side of week.

FREEZE FATAL TOs
 MANY FRUIT CROPS
Peaches Probably Will Be Near Total Loss and Apples Badly Hurt-Early Strawberries Destroyed, But
 Later Varieties Not Hurt.

Monday nights freeze dealt a knockout blow to much of the fruit and truck growing in Mena and vicin- ity. The extent of the damage is mainly matter of opinion yet, but most of the experts are satisfied that some varieties are a total loss, while other kinds will afford partial crop
 With low temperature of 26 de- grees, and ice forming in places, most all the peach growers are satisfied a promising crop has been hurt beyond repair. Apples have also been badly hurt. but it is thought that some or chards will make their usual crop. The extent of the damage to cherries is also uncertain.
 That the earlier strawberries fell victim to the after Easter freeze there is no doubt. That the plants will yet be able to set fruit and make a partial crop is matter over which some of the local fruit growers differ.
 A message from Horatio Tuesday morning reported that the strawber- ries in that Sieinity had not been hurt by the sudden drop in temperatures
 Blackberries and raspberries have not been hurt, but no one was found Tuesday who could state whether the freeze had hurt the huckleberries Grapes were damaged in that the first setting of fruit was frozen, but in the opinion of c. T. Morgan, who has made an extensive study of this fruit, this will result in a new setting of blooms and better fruit. Mir Morgan is one of the few who could find some thing good to say for the freeze. He stated the cold temperatures would kill the grape borer and halt the &C., tivities of the aphis and check San Jose scale. three dangerous fruit pests.
 Potatoes, beans and corn were the main truck crops that suffered from exposure to the freezing weather. Many local gardeners endeavored to save their crop of tender vegetation by covering tine plants, but found their work in vain in many instances. The spuds and corn will put forth new sprouts, but the beans will have to be replanted
 R. R. St John was one of those in terested in fruit growing who made an effort to save the apple crop at the Ozark Orchard thru the use of smudge fires. He spent good part of the night in keeping fires going. but is not certain yet that good results were attained.
 c. H. Webster. who is one of the best posted horticulturists in Mena covered his smaller strawberry patch at his home. but has, with C. L. Lacey. several acres in berries out iu Woodland addition. These he care fully examined Tuesday afternoon and finds that probably 25ce of the Klondike crop is lost, and that the Aromas are not damaged

ARkA kANSAS MAY NOT GET
 FURTHER FEDERAL FUNDS
II. L. Kennel Says Washington Office Declares States Road System Is
 "Rottenest" of Any State.

From The Arkansas Democrat
 "Mr. Mcdonald. chief of the public roads department told men while I was in Washington last week, that Ar kansas has the 'rottenest' system of road building of any state in the union, and that the state will get nothing in the form of federal aid un- til the road building laws are changed" said H. l.. Remmel yester- day afternoon upon his return from Washington, where he has been in con- ference with President Harding and other federal officials.
 T had long talk with him and the engineer who came to Arkansas dur ing the Legislature to see if something couldn't be done" he continued. "They pointed out conditions in this state of which had not dreamed, tho thought l was pretty we'll informed on how the roads have been built and how taxes have been levied for that purpose dur ing the past few years.
 Tt is certain that they have no in- tention of giving federal ald to road building in this state as long as pres ent conditions continue," he continued. 'They see that if the program which was launched few years ago is per- mitted to continue, and it seems but little was done Tn that direction by he recent legislature, the state is facing ruin, and as federal officials they have no intention of assisting in that down. fall.
 '.It appears that after having given the situation Tn Arkansas very careful consideration and study they found what seemed to them a way in which the great waste of money could be checked at least, If not stopped en- trely. Mir. James met repeatedly with the committee of the legislature and sr>:::s.. hours in explaining how re- vision of the laws could be made to save the credit of the state, and the thousands of people whom 1t appears are being unjustly and inequitably taxed to build and maintain ruinous system of roads. He said that they listened and asked questions and seem ingly understood the seriousness of the situation, but that no law as enacted.
 "They told me that they are wait ing to see whether two years without paying will awaken them to the reali- zation that Arkansas road building system is wasteful, inefficient and ruinous to the taxpayers.
