GRAND JURY GOES TO
 TUCKER FARM TO-DAY

Pine Bluff, Ark. Oct. 3.-The Jeff erson County grand jury, organized here this morning and given Il special charge by Judge w. E. Sorrels to make a thorough investigation of charges of cruelty at hte Tucker state convict farm, will leave here in body at ' o'clock Tuesday morning 10 spend the day at the Tucker Farm. It is expected that the jurors will not only question the cOnyicts but will make personal inspection of their bare bodies to ascertain. if they have any scars that show alleged unmerciful beating and if so. to ascertain who caused those scars.
 Mrs. Laura Conner of Augusta, the women mmeber of the penitentiary commission. and the Rev w. B. Hogg of Little oRck, both of whom have been given publicity to charges of cruelty and demanding that in inves- tigation be made, were the only wit nesses who testified before the grand jury today.
 Mir. Hogg said before entering the grand jury room that he had no first hand evidence. but had with him number of letters that had been re- ceived from convicts, including trus- es. in which they made charges that he thought ought to be investigated According to the instructions given hte grand jury by Judge Sorels, that body will investigate charges of cruelty to cinvicts and rumor that q former commission misappropriated funds.
 "Indict Those Who are Guilty
 Judge Sorrels insisted that the truth be known. declaring the people of the entire state are looking to this grand jury to furinsh them the true facts. If these charges are true. in dict those who are guilty, if they are untrue, let's find it out in order to stop this propaganda, and if you find that the charges are untrue, you should seek to find out the motive or purpose that caused the charges to be made" Judge Sorrels stated
 Mrs. Conner was in the grand jury room about three hours, after which Mir. Hogg testified. In selecting tho members of the grand jury, Judge Sorrels excused D. B. Niven and A. F. Harper. because they live at Tucker
 The grand jury is composed of Will liam Nichol. foreman: C. w. Butts, J. L. Longino. w. l.. Davis, l. F. Magee, W. G. Key, E. L. Bowe, J. F. Koonce. N. I. Owen, A. w Mum, A. K. Baugh- man. l.. V. Bahlau, w. c. Hudson, w. P. McGeorge, c. F. Yowell and NJ. NJ. West. All live on the south side of the river exceut Bowe, who lives at Atheimer.
 Judge Sorels began charging the grand jury at 9:30 and spoke for one hour. After the usual definition of crimes. he made a strong appeal to indict bootleggers, especially the Bell Wethers' in the traffic.
 II have sympathy for an ignroant negro who sells liquor, but think that the white men who cause them to sell it are the worst men in the com munity. If you should indict hve men in this community, you wouia do one of the best things possible for the community"

The United States operates un-

Britain has no written Constitution.
One Of the arguments being put
forth now in favor OF the association

a mistake in giving his plan writ

adopt the British idea and under
take TO conduct the league or an
association of nations without any
written constitution or written COW
enant whatever; in other words, that
the new association will consist OF
representatives OF different govern
ments coming together with no lin
itation upon their jurisdiction or
power or authority other than their
own discretion.
