COURT TRIAL
METHODS IN CHINA

Shanghai, April 10-(DeIayed) (By
The Associated Press)--How justice
is administered in a Chinese criminal
court was illustrated in an interest
ing fashion at the trial of a locally
celebrated murder case that was held
the last week in March in Nantao, the
native settlement which forms large
part of the city of Shanghai,
For three days preceding the trial
curious thousands, hedged off by
stout bamboo rails, watched the pro-
gress of post mortem at which east
and west clashed. The post mortem
was performed by Chinese physi-
clans, several trained in American
and other occidental schools and 9TH
erS who had received their medical
education in China. 1t was a case of
suspected poisoning and while the
western trained physicians insisted
that the stomach and intestines with
their contents should be sent to a
laboratory for analysis, the purely
Chinese doctors chung to an ancient
belief and declared that the question
at issue could be proved by boiling
the bones of the deceased in a certain
| manner. The Chinese doctors car
ried their point
Chang Shen Sung, the accused, was
| arrested in the International settle
ment. 1t was charged that thirteen
| months ago at the little Chinese riv-
| er village Of Pootung, IA miles down
| the Whangpoo from Shanghai, he had
poisoned his father, Chang Ka-yung,
a wealthy rice merchant. On applica-
of the Chinese authorities of Nantao
| the prisoner was turned over to the
Chinese police and a trial was held
the next day.
The hearing took place in an open
lot, with the court sitting beneath a
mat shed, while close packed thou
| sands. held back by soldiers and stout
| bamboo stockade, looked on avidly
through the hearing. In a prominent
place in front of the court huge iron
kettle simmered over an open fire.. in
which had been placed the bones Of
the alleged victim as the Chinese doc
tors had ordered.
The hearing was lengthy and the
court took no less than three recesses
through the day. The procedure con-
sisted almost wholly of questioning
the accused and urging him to con-
fess that he committed the crime.
This questioning was done by the
court, police officials and two Chinese
procurators in turn and through the
whole bombardment of Interrogation
the youth in manacles held firmly to
denial Of his guilt.
The Chinese doctors had declared
that If the deceased had died from
poisoning this would be made evident
by the presence Of discolorations on
the bones after the boiling process.
Again and again this was borne in
upon the prisoner. who was told that
If he were guilty the bones when ex-
posed would surely prove it.

MORE AUSTRIANS
TO VOTE ON FUSION
WITH THE GERMANS

Vienna, May 26.--(The Associated
Press) Three more provinces will
initiate the Tyrol and hold sentiment
tai referendums on the question OF
the fusion of Austria with Germany
Salzburg, Styria and Upper Austria
have set May % as the tentative date
for the ballot and it is believed that
Carinthia also will fall into line.
Voralberg. the westernmost Of the
states last summer voted practically
unanimously to join Switzerland.
The almost unanimous vote for fu-
sion in the Tyrol on April "a was sur
prise even to the most ardent OF fu-
sionists They had estimated an 80 to
80 per cent favorable ballot and it is
conceded that the excess represented
an element of those hard-headed
mountaineers who voted simply be-
cause of the Entente prohibition
against the referendum.
The movement toward a union with
Germany. born almost Immediately
after the creation of the republic. has
grown steadily and these sporadic and
| independent referendums are the out.
growth of the failure of the effort to
force the central government to defy
the Entente and order a nationwide
vote.
According to foreign observers who
! have kept a watchful eye on the agi-
! tation there is no doubt that the to-
for the union. They do not share the
o
the movement that if the vote actually
meant action instead of sentimental
expression of opinion 1t would not
carry. On the contrary they express
the belief that it is genuine and
earnest thought and desire on the part
of the mass of the people and say
they are motivated by three control
ing things.
First is the firmly rooted conviction
or economically as an independent
state. The economic arguments have
been set before the world officially
and unofficially for the past two years
but the political phase of the matter
was brought to a focus by the former
Emperor Charles recent attempt to
regain the throne in Hungary.
The threat of Jugoslavia, Czechoslo-
Iakia and Rumania to occupy Hun
gary if a Hapsburg is restored spells
an inevitable occupation of Austria
along with it. They realize the utter
impotence of the little unarmed re-
public against it's powerful Slav
neighbors and the present political
situation in Central Europe does not
calm their apprehensions.
As part of the stronger German
state, they feel that they would be
secure against any aggression and at
the same time obtain advantages Of a
commercial nature which they cannot
hope to gain independently. The be-
lief Of Austria in the rehabilitation of
Germany is abiding and they wish to
share it.
| Behind this motive Is said to lilo the
natural racial and language tie,
coupled with the dread that Slav insti-
tutions will supplant their Germanic
traditions and culture.

WHAT WE
 DID DO
62 Arkansas National Guardmens of Company c Are Enjoying Encamp- ment at Camp Pike.

Several hundred people were gather ed at the station yesterday afternoon when No. run, to see the boys of Company C., off to Camp Pike for the summer encampment school.
 Twelve members of this Company left last week and fifty yesterday mak- ing total of 62. What we did do in response to the call from the boys and the message from Lieutenants Barham and Fuller, was shown yesterday by the number of boys leaving; 62 out of the 90 members of the Company. There were three cars of boys going to Camp Pike. one from Mena, one from Hope and one from our city.
 We feel proud of the record these boys have made since organized into a company and we know they will make their mark at the encampment. Much credit for this splendid record is due to the efficient training of the officers.

RED CROSS HEALTH
 NOTES.-THE MOSQUITO

Few communities and localities are fortunate enough to be free from the mosquito, which announces his advent hv his peculiarly unpleasant song with the opening of early summer and continues his career until far into the fl T in many places.
 Mosquitoes are disease spreaders and those maladies known to be carr ed nv this insect are malaria yellow fever dengue fever. and filariasis. Erect ;nc places, especially for the domestic. mosquito, are in any small collection of water that may he present in tin CT ms. bottles, flowerpots pools, gutters SC .rers etc The maidria mosquito usually pr2fercs the mc f,tinS of ditches en6 lakes, swamps and low bottom lands.
 All buildings in localities infested with mosquitoes should be screened. No water should be allowed to stand in container around the house The grass should be kept cut short so it will not serve as a hiding place for mosquitoes. Low places should be drained by ditehes. oil may he used as measure to prevent breeding If should be plac- cd i ma fine film over the surface of the water a light oil being best adapt cd for the purpose. It requires an ounce of oil for each 15 square feet of surface and must be renewed several times q month.
 Itching and irritation from mosquito bites can be relieved by lotion of carbolic acid To make this lotion add a level tablespoon of boric acid powder and 20 drops of pure carbolic acid to half pint of hot water. Stir well and shake until the boric is dissolved. Cool before using and apply by daubing on with a wad of cotton or spraying

ONLY BIG CROP
 IN ARKANSAS
The Highland Orchard The Only One in The State That Will Produce a Good Crop of Peaches.

Little Rock, July 10.-Arkansas' peach crop this year has been report ed to be almost complete failure, due to late frosts in practically al parts of the state-yet one section will have shipped more than GOO cars of this fruit by the middle of this month. This section is in the southwestern part of the state, radiating from the huge Johnson peach orchard at Highland in Pike county.
 Arkansas ordinarily stands fourth nthe production of peaches, but be- cause of the late cold spells of the past spring the big production section, northwest Arkansas, will ship no pea ches at all The total crop this year will be but one-fifth or 20 per cent of normal The few growers in the South western part of the state, however. whose peaches escaped killing frosts and who gave their orchards careful attention, sprayed their trees and took other precautions, expect to realize a handsome profit.
 The early peaches began to move to the market about June 1 and the FL berta shipments began on July 1. The peach movement is expected to be practically complete by the middle of this month, while the biggest orchard that at Highland. completed its ship ment of 4S5 cars yesterday.
