Commercial Credit

Commercial money remains in
moderate demand. Rates yesterday
were unchanged on the basis of 51s per
cent for the best prime paper. Some
5A per cent paper is finding its way
to the market.
The demand for acceptances is less
keen, due primarily, it is thought, to
the higher rates for call money. The
American Acceptance Council yester-
day quoted the following discount

not you should sell your stocks, how

THERE are as many little things
 that tone up this summers costume and lend 1t an accent, as any season has afforded. There are wells for those who like their softenlng lines, small fur neck-pieces that are graceful and kind to their wearers, girdles of "ivory" and beads or "composltion" In different colorS that are new. There are many new necklaces of crystal and of seeds, new styles In beaded purses and others of new kinds of leather, including ostrich skin, and there are even few new parasols. with those covored with cretonne cheerful re- vival. By all such means charming changes and harmonies lend interest to summer costumes.
 A pretty company of new shopping bags reveals these necessities made of summer silks as well as of ribbons. Tricolette and heavy crepe weaves are used for them iR the same sort of mountings as are used for ribbon. In decorations they seem to have taken their cues from sport hats. the same embroideries In yarn and bead work appear on them. Those of ribbon pre-

GIVES GRAND JURY
 SHARP CHALLENGE DONACHEY ASKS PROOF
Former Governor Vigorously Criticises Recent Report on Pulaski County
 Bridge Districts.

Little Rock, Sept. 3.-A sharp chal- lenge. questioning the authority of the Pulaski county grand jury as a crlm- inal body, to report upon conditions where no criminal act is involved was issued by former Governor Donaghey, chairman of the board of commission CTS of the Broadway Main street dis trict, last night. Mr. Donaghey, who was absent from the city when the report was returned Thursday, was in formed of the action of the grand jury upon his return yesterday afternoon.
 Mention in the report of the bridge district he characterized as "unani- nous act of stupid asininity.'
 Mr. Donaghey said: q have just this afternoon returned from a brief absence from the city and my atter tion has been called to the statement recently given out by the grand jIry with reference to the Broadway-Main street bridge district and as chair man of the board l have to say
 That the present grand jury Is composed of q body of gentlemen whose intent and purpose are unques- tiouablY that of a highest aim and most honorable motive. But that the mention of the Broadway-Main street bridge commission and the authorized publicity given this board in the man. ner that the grand jury has done is a unanimous acts of the most stu pid asininity that has ever been per pertrated in connection with any criminal board in this or any other state as far as l am advised, is a fact beyond contradiction.
 "A grand jury is body of men authorized by law to investigate crime and to indict criminals and to bring them before the bar of justice and the mention of any board of com missioners in connection with crimi- nal acts without specific explanation, as was done in this case, is but an act of casting suspicion upon the whole body of individuals herewith connected.
 'I therefore challenge this grand jury to point single criminal act in connection with the Broadway Main street bridge district. Not only do l issue this challenge to the grand jury, but challenge it to point to single act of imprudence or bad management or bad faith or any other objectionable act on the part of this commission,
 q am not a lawyer, nor have
The log cabin Democrat., 1921-09-03

sought any legal advice whatever in this connection, but it appears to me that the proprieties will permit me to suggest to the grand jury that in this instance it is entirely an inter- loper, and this act is itself one bor- dering on criminality by the grand jury.
 Certainly it has paradoxical as- pect. If there are any criminals con- nected with other improvement dis trict in Pulaski county it must in- deed be gratifying to them to have board legally constituted and duly acting and striving to obey the laws and straining itself to conserve the interest of the taxpayers, mucked ur in the same batch of slime in which they have been steeped.
 T have the profound respect for the courts, and 1 am in favor of the enforcing of law and order in ali re spects, but when a body of men, clothed with the authority of the grand jury and when acting as such, arrogates to itself the privilege of public mention of a body of men over whom l have been given the honor to preside, in the manner that it has done, I think that it is incumbent upon me to call upon the grand jury for complete explana- tion of it's intend and meaning in this case, and believing that the Broad- way-Main street bridge commission has equal authority with the grand jury in this assumed jurisdiction, l most respectfully ask it to give this 
 6signed} George W. Donaghey."

WAR RISK EXPERTS

The clean up squad of the war risk bureau and associated soldier relief organizations will be at the state capi- tai, Little Rock, for four days next week, beginning Tuesday, and ex-ser vice men are reminded of the chance offered to adjust compensation claims, allotment or allowance difficulties, federal board training, insurance, back pay or other matters connected with military or naval services during the war. This squad is now making a survey of Arkansas and assistance of- fered to veterans holding claims not already adjusted. Ex-service men cali ing upon the squad should bring their discharge papers and compensation numbers, if such numbers have been assigned.
 Notice of the work of the squad at Little Rock has been given by the American Red Cross, which is one of the agencies assisting in the clean up of claims. On account of the nearness of this city to Little Rock, the squad will not visit Conway.

PALARM ROAD GETS ROCE
New Machinery Arrives for Damascus Road and Construction Being
 Pushed on All Projects.

lndcatlons that the promise of con- pletlon of the section of the Damascus highway across the Cadron bottoms before winter weather begins would be carried out, were strengthened to- day, when long-delayed engine to operate a rock crusher at Pleasant Grove quarry, north of Kings bridge reached Conway and when informa. ton was received that the first con. slgnment of material for the 1,0O0- foot trestle to be placed in the Cadron bottom would be shipped the first of next week from Little Rock, where It IS being fabricated Another rock crushing outfit has also been received for use on the Damascus road. It will be placed at the quarry at Cadron Gap, near Ethridge's store. Both quar- Ties are expected to be producing rock by the end of next week, and the material will be hauled both directions to the Cadron bottom The long tres tie IS expected to be completed by the middle ot next month, and the base course of stone will be laid on the aQmp, ii the hope of having a hard. surfaced highway before winter, over route that throughout the history of the county has been almost impas- slbie.
 Good progress is also being made on the PaIarm road After lengthy negotiations the commissioners yes terday reached an agreement with Mrs. R. E. Dent, owner of the Cazort plantation at Palarm, whereby slight changes will be made in the location and height of the dump for the last few hundred feet of the highway 10 Palarm bridge, to meet objections of Mrs. Dent as to it's present location. Mrs. Dent also signed a contract giv. Ing the district the privilege of open. Ing quarry on her land just across the Palarm creek in Pulaski county the only available stone between Pa. larm and Mayfower. R. B. Oliver of the Oliver Construction Company who was here yesterday. promised that rock-crushing outfit would be set up next week at the Palarm quarry and the rock base will be laid at once beginning at the creek, so that the highway along the plantation, which as been in bad condition, will soon have a rock surface The crushing plant at Sturgiss hill will probably be moved to a new quarry at May. flower and three crushing outfits will be supplying stone for this road. Re ports from the steel works at St. Louis state that the Stone Dam and Gold Creek bridges are nearing com. petion. More than half of the course of stone has been laid, and there are good indications that the Palarm highway will be completed by Janu. ary l, 1922, the time set for it's con- pletion when the contract was let one year ago.
 Output of crushed stone on the Vi. lonia highway has been speeded ur the past few days and this work is also now making good progress. The asphalt top course has been laid fo1 about one mile east from the point of beginning at Conway and is still going ahead. About five miles of base rock have been laid.
