ONE SHOT WOUNDS
 AGED MAN AND SON
Quarrel Over Hogs Said to Have Caused Trouble
 Near Pocah0ntas

Pocahontas, Aug. 23.-An aged man named Cantrell, who lives three miles north east of Pocahontas, and his son Sam, were shot and seri- ously wounded both by the same bullet, late yesterday afternoon, and Walter Taylor neighbor, is wanted for the shooting which is said to have resulted from a quarrel over hogs.
 According to reports, Tay- lor's hogs had been swimming across Current river and get ting into CantrelPs corn field. Cantrell is said to have pen ned up the hogs, and when Taylor sent his son to find out about the hogs, he is said to have demanded that he be paid for the damage done by the hogs.
 Late yesterday afternoon. while the father and son were in the front yard of the Can trell home, a shot was fired across the river. The bullet, from a heavy calibre rifle, broke one of the old mans legs as it passed through, then struck the son in the leg, also seriously wounding him.
 Because of the age of the elder Cantrell, who is more than 80, 1t IS feared his wound may prove fatal.
 Officers are searching the surrounding country for Wal ter Taylor, who is believed to be hiding in the dense woods.

COLE IS NOMINATED
 FOR us. ATTORNEY
Caraway and Robinson to Make Fight on Confirma-
 ton of Batesville Man

Washington, Aug. 22.- Pres. Harding today sent to
 the senate the nomination of 7 Charles F. Cole of Batesville
 to be United States attorney for the eastern District of Arkansas to succeed June P. Wooten, Democrat, whose term does not expire for about two years. Both Ark . ansas senators, it is under stood, will oppose the confir- nation of Cole on the ground
 that his appointment is strict g political and not for the good of the service, as no complaint whatsoever has been lodged against Wooten.
 Some weeks ago Wooten no- tified the attorney general that he would relinquish his office when his successor had been appointed and qualified. Senators Robinson and Cara way then stated that they would resist the nomination If any nomirae who might ye appointed before the expir- ation of Wooten's term, as any effort to vacate his office before that time would be ac- tuated by a partisan motive, and therefore, ineXcusable. Since then Senator Robinson has gone to Europe with a congressional commission, but Senator Caraway is expected to make the fight against Coles confirmation. Senator Robinson is a member of the judiciary committee, which fact gives his opposition es- pecial force. Mir. Cole is well

SOLDIER HERO IS
 BURIED AT HOME Sid Coleman Who Was Killed in Action in France Buri-
 ed at Cord

The remains of Sid Cole man, the first Independence county boy to lose his life on the battle front in the world war were returned home Tuesday.
 Young Coleman, who was a son of MT. and Mrs. James Coleman of Cord, volunteered shortly after America entered the war and was one of the first Independence county men to go overseas. At the time of his death he had beer in France for several months and was stationed on the front line, death being caused from poison gas.
 Coleman's story is one of true patriotism. It is said that when the young man volunteered for service with the American forces he walk ed from his home near Cord to Newark that he might get into the big fight. Finding the recruiting headquarters re- moved to Batesville, he con- tinued his journey to that place on foot, his hopes being that he would only be allow. ed to go.
 His great ambition to fight for his country was realized and a greater service no man could render-he gave his all
 Coleman was a young man of 25 years, and in the fore noon of his life his spirit was stirred by a patriotism that he would like to be of service to his country and his fellow man. His service brought to him sacrifice and a hero's death.
 In the trenches awaiting a command to go over the top he died. Here, in the heart of action, where the big guns roared, and the fierce strug- gle of foe against foe, where death was almost certain, this brave American youth was true steel. In his own heart he chose to fight for his country, and himself. A true and in the thickest of the fray he met death.
 Sid Coleman did a patriotic service for millions of Ameri- can people and should each of those people in our own county whom he served, bring a single blossom to his grave, he would sleep tonight be- meath a wilderness of flowers.
 Coleman was killed the last day of February 1917, and his remains were sent home at the request of relatives who want this soldier hero to sleep near his old home where the breezes blow a little gentler and the dawn is a little bright CT, where he may rest in peace near those who loved him most.
 Burial was at Hopewell cemetery Wednesday after noon.

SIX KILLED WHEN
 TRAIN HITS AUTO
Fast Train Crashes Into Auto At Austin and Kills Every
 Occupant of Car

sons lost their lives when a Missouri Pacific fast passen- ger train struck an automo- bile at a street crossing here about 1 o'clock his afternoon.
 Four were killed outright, one died on a train en route to Little Rock and the sixth victim, Dr. J. B. Curry, mayor of Austin, died at 6 o'clock this evening in the Baptist hospital at Little Rock. The dead are:
 H. E. Haguewood, aged 48, of Oak Grove.
 Mrs. H. E. Haugewood aged 45.
 Mrs. Charles Pearson, aged 30 of Lonoke.
 Mrs. Pearson's seven-year old daughter
 Mrs. J. D. Duffy, aged 45 of Oak Grove.
 Dr. J. B. Curry, aged 50, mayor of Austin
 Mrs. Pearson was the wife of the Rev. Charles Pearson of Lonoke, who has been con- ducting a revival at MeRae for some time.
 The members of the auto party had driven to the station several hours before to send John Duffy, husband of Mrs. Duffy, to a Little Rock hos pital, and were returning to Oak Grove.
 It is believed that Hague wood, who was driving the auto, failed to see the ap- preaching train. He drove a. round a turn in the road and Dent the car directly in the path of the train.
 Every occupant of the car was killed outright or fatally 
 The track is plainly visible for a mile and a half from the crossing and apparently the only visible explanation of the accident is that Hauge- wood failed to take precua- ution to look for a train as he approached the crossing.
 Engineer Leopard stopped his traini II about 300 feet, backed to the scene of the and with members of the train and residents of Aus tin picked up Mrs. Hague wood and Dr. Curry and took them to Little Rock. Mrs. died on the trian.
 The party was returning to Oak Grove, where a home coming picnic had been in progress for three days. The entire party were at the pie nic and drove to Austin to see MT. Duffy leave. The lat ter has been i'll for some time and left for Little Rock on the train that runs an hour ahead of the fast train. The automobile party was return ing to Oak Grove when the accident occurred.
 The train, No. 219, is a fast train running between Hot Springs and Memphis, and was running about 40 miles an hour when it struck the automobile.
 There is nothing to ob struct the view, and no grade or cut at the crossing where the accident occurred. The track is straight and a train

NEW YORK. February ls.-In a
Communication addressed to Secretary
Of State Colby. the Arm of McAdoo.
Cotton & Franklin. OF which William
G. McAdoo, former Secretary Of the
Treasury. is a member. has asked for
recognition of the Independence of
Lithuania by the American State De-
nartment. The services of Mr.. Nc
Adoo's firm, the communication show
ed. have been retained by Jonas
Vileisis, representative Of Lithuania
at Washington.
The statement takes issue with
President Wilson's policy of non-rec-
ognition. as set forth in his note to the
Italian government last August. and
in the note on Armenia sent to Paul
Hymans. president OF. the assembly of
the league of nations, January % of
this year.
President Wilson's policy. as set

nation of Independence. "The United

AS to these three nations, but not as
to Lithuania, this country has admit
ted that our policy against the dis

portunity of judging the sentiment oA
the people here in regard to the mat
ter.
Mr.. Harper told the committee also
that banks here had lent money On
common stock of the Washlhs.oaa
Railway and Electric Company, anu
that this stock was owned by many
persons, among them widows. ana
that any step which is taken to I'M
prove the financial condition OF the
company would aid in relieving the
situation.
Col. Kutz, after reading the report
Of the Public Utilities Commission,
declared that a merger OF the street
car companies Of the District had
been q goal of the Public Ut1lltles
Commission for years. He admitted
that the passage OF the france plii
would make it easier for the power
company and the Washington Ran
way and Electric Company to nnance
themselves. But he insisted that 1t
would make it possible for the con-
solidated company to transfer a part
of the burden of operating the street
cars to the users of electricity.
View OF senator POmerene.
Senator Pomerene insisted that ne
could see no reason why the Public
Utilities Commission could not COM
pei the consolidated company to Keep
separate the cost Of the two services:
Col. Kutz said he was convinced II
the earnings of the Washington Ran-
way and Electric Company Increased
under the merger. the Washington
Railway and Electric Company would
no longer be anxious to merge with
the Capital Traction Company.
Conrad Syme told the committee
that the Potomac Electric Power
Company and the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company had as
sailed in court the valuations fixed
upon their properties by the Public
Utilities Commission, and also the
pOwer company had attacked the
order of the commission reducing the
rates allowed upon the electricity.
He said that If a merger was per-
mitted the consolidated company
would go into court and demand
that. it be allowed to earn 6. or 8
per cent. If the earnings Of the
street railway were not sufficie mt,
he said, the company would make
it up in the. earnings on lighting.
In 1913, before the Public Utilities
Commission took hold, he said, the
street railway WAS not earning a
dividend, but was taking money from
the earnings Of the power company
to help nav a dividend.
Milton e. Allies and w. T. Gallher
also appeared to support the proposed
legislation.
W. NICK. Clayton opposed the ner-
ger. and said that in his opinion the

pressed a desire soon to see Arch

monsignor, who was a great worker
and of powerful mentality. He was
called Della Chiesa and is the present
Pope.
The Associated Press correspondent
heard a prelate say:
THE soul of Archbishop Patrick
Ryan must rejoice at Dougherty's
elevation to the purple as an honor
conferred on the diocese Ryan sc
loved.
Archbishop Ryan used to say with
the Irish wit for which he was dis
tinguished, I already am a cardinal
AS I am red. I shall die red" The
arch bishop at the time was alludine
to his red hair"
In the general conversation Other
great bishops of whom Philadel-
phians are proud are spoken of
especially Francis Henrith, Bishop OF
Philadelphia for more than twenty
years and successor to the Venerable
John Newman, whose possible beati.
fication is being discussed by the
