AGED MANS BAD
 BARGAIN ANNULLED

Little Rock, June 7.-After all, the law is not a cold-blooded technical proposition. Matters of simple jus tice are taken cognizance of as well as the hair splitting technicalities up- on which it is presumed that court decisions are usually based.
 This was demonstrated in supreme court yesterday when the court af- firmed the decision of a lower court in the case of Hawkins vs. Randolph in Franklin county, involving the an- nulling of a contract made by Ran dolph with Hawkins. It appears that Randolph is 80 years old, without relatives. Hawkins owed him S10,- 900 and Randolph agreed that if Haw- kins pay him monthly pension of $40 during the rest of his natural life that he would cancel the debt. After few payments had been made, Randolph realized that the contract was more favorable to Hawkins than to himself and took the matter into court. The lower court decided in Randolph's fa- vor and this is sustained by the su- preme court in lengthy opinion con- cluding with the following findings:
 "The record shows that the amount promised was no more than sufficient to support Randolph in his old age and if he continued in reasonable health. If he became sick and his expenses thereby materially increased, it will be readily seen that he had deprived himself of means of being cared for in that condition, while if he had retained his property, he would have had ample means for that pur- pose. It is just such conditions and situations as these that equity scru- tinizes closely and always interposes to grant relief"

HIGHEST AND LOWEST
 POINTS IN CALIFORNIA
(By the Associated Press)


 Washington, June 7.-The highest and lowest points in the United States are in California, within 90 miles of each other, says a bulletin issued by the geological survey. Mount Whit ney, the highest point, is 14,5O1 feet above sea level and in Death Valley there is a depression that lies 176 feet below sea level
 The difference in height of these two points is small, however, the sur vey states, as compared with the diff ference in the height and depth of land in Asia Mount Everest rises 29,O02 feet above sea level, whereas the shores of the Dead sea lies 1 ,29O feet below
 of the Dead Sea lie 1,290 feet below.
 Information in the hands of the sur- vey shows that the greatest depth yet found in any ocean is 32,OSS feet, depth at a point about 40 miles north of the island of Mindanao in the Phil lipines. This would make the bottom of the sea at that point II 1-2 miles below the summit of Mount Everest.

AL|MONY SOUGHT
 IN CANADA SUIT
WIFE FILES COMPLAINT
Mrs. Rosa L. Canada Charges Hus- band Deserted Her, Taking $25,-
 900 in Cash With Him.

Charging that her husband, Tom
 Canada, deserted her without cause
 on April 6, 1920, after having pre- viously converted all his property into cash and taking with him the sum of ! S25, ,000, Mrs. Rosa L. Canada, in a suit filed in the Faulkner chancery court yesterday asks judgment against the defendant for reasonable alimony and maintenance fund, which the con- plaint states would be S125 per month or lump sum of S10,000.
 Mir. Canada, whose disappearance from home in April was the occasion of much comment, was placed under arrest and S1 ,000 bond on a charge of wife desertion on his return to Con- way about ten days ago. Trial of the criminal charge is set before Justice Easterwood for next Friday. MT, Canada, who is again in Conway, was served with summons in the equity suit
 The complaint alleges that the plaintiff and defendant were married on May 8, 1920, at Hot Springs, Ark, and lived together until April 6, 1921, when the defendant deserted and abandoned the plaintiff without cause. At the time of their marriage, the complaint declares, the defendant was possessed of property and money to the value of $30,000. Prior to his al- legged desertion, the plaintiff convert ed all of his property except part of two lots in Conway into cash, which he deposited in a safety box at a bank, for the purpose of defrauding the plaintiff out of her marital rights, and when he left he took with him s25, ,000 in cash, the complaint charges.
 The plaintiff states that she had no property, that her health was poor at the time of the alleged desertion, her condition requiring surgical op- eration shortly afterwards.
 Judgment for a reasonable amount of alimony and maintenance is asked, the complaint setting up that $125 per month or lump sum of $10,000 would constitute a reasonable alimony. No divorce is prayed in the complaint The court is also asked to restrain the de- fendant from disposing of any of his property whatever and that the defen- dant be required to surrender into the custody of the court an amount suffi- cient to guarantee the payment of the alimony. The complaint also asks that the defendant be required to dis close the amount and value of all his property.
 The award of temporary alimony, attorneys fees and court costs pend ing final hearing and judgment for permanent alimony is also prayed of the court.

COCKROACH RACES IS
 SPORT OF REFUGEES
(By the Associated Press)

Constantinople, May 17.-(By MaiD Betting on cockroach races is one of the newest sports here. It was intro daced by Russian who has just open ed hall where man who wants some real excitement for his money can get results.
 The hall is darkened at the moment the race is to begin. Then a single electric light at the end of run way is turned on and the cockroaches, each in separate track, re let loose from their cages to race for the light.
 More real, old-fashioned, non-pro- fessional sport may be had there than in any other city in Europe. This is due in part to the Allied troops of occupation, to the American officers and sailors on station here, and the large number of American and British civilians who come out for business since the armistice.
 What the Russian refugees have done in way of enlivening the city with concerts, dancing places and queer restaurants, the other Allies have done in sporting lines.
 In winter there is wild boar, duck and fox hunting. There is also, in and out of season, plenty of horse back riding over the dirt roads and unfenced stretches of upland country on both sides of the Bosphorus. Horse races are often held.
 Both the British and the Americans have laid out golf courses. There are

Organize to Fight Ku Klux Klan Is
 Aim of Illinois Men
By Associated Press

Chicago, September 16-An organ ization to promote harmony and good feeling between all classes, races and religions in America was an nounced in the process of formation here today with Edward r. Dunne, former governor of Illinois. at it's head. The society will be known as the National Unity Council and it's organizers intend ultimately to spread it to every section of the country, according to MT. Dunne.
 One of the prime motives behind the organization. its sponsors said, was to combat the Ku klux klan and organization of councils will be pushed, particularly where the Kan has obtained a foothold.
 '1n view of the fact that the ku Klux Klan has adopted our weapon of mass action, it was our desire to organize a society which shall de- velop harmony and good feeling be- tween different classes, rather than enmity,' MT. Duune said today. Tn vitations were sent out last week to many prominent church, political, business and welfare men and the replies are coming in now. We will hold meeting in few days to complete plans"
 Officers of the council already have been opened on La Sale street in the financial section. of the city.
 The Ku Klux Klan, which main tains an office here under the name of the Southern Publicity Bureau was called menacve to this and any community" by Former Gov ernor Dunne in their adoption of the "equipment of the burglar masks and implements of yiolence.'
