PATHETIC SCENE WHEN
 WIFE VISITS DAVIS
Wife of Wounded Bandit Thought he Had Gone to
 Join Carnival

Little Rock, Nov. 3.-There was a pathetic scene at the penitentiary last night when Mrs. Margaret Davis was talk en to the bedside of her hus- band who was probably fatal ly wounded while attempting to rob the bank of Alicia.
 Mrs. Davis was arrested at her rooming house, 810 West Markham street. She stated that when Davis left home he told he was going to the Sou- thern part of the State to join a carnival company.
 When Warden Dempsey met her at the gate, she said i: "Only last Sunday some friends and l were here looking over the penitentiary. Little did think that within three days from then l would return to find my husband at the point of death and a prisoner here
 Mrs. Davis upon interine the inner grounds of the peni- tentiary vast taken to the hos, pital ward, where her hus- band was lying, scarcely breathing.
 She tiptoed over to the bed- side of the wounded man and sat down in chair close tc his bed. After burying hel face in her hands and sobbine for a few minutes, she put hel arms around his neck. Davis with eyes still closed, realized the presence of his wife, and with an effort that caused ex- cruciating pain,p put his head on his wife's breast. Not word was spoken. Mrs. Davis very tenderly patted her husbands head and kissed him.

train to be taken to a hospit- al in Little Rock for an opera ton, but died just before the train reached Little Rock.
 According to best reports obtainable, the robbery was planned in Little Rock by Da- wis, the man who was shot during the attempted robbery, and two other men, one of whom he said was known to him only as Bill and the other as Watkins.
 The bandits hired Will Up- ton, Little Rock taxi driver, to drive them to Alicia Tues day night.
 Upton is held in jail at Wal nut Ridge but is believed to have had no connection with the robbery.
 Davis was captured soon af- ter the battle in the bank at Alicia. Severely wounded, he staggered to the home of a farmer from which the mem bers of the family were ab- sent, and lay down on a bed. He was taken in custody by Deputy Sheriff Elam Hall of Portia, who took him to Little Rock. Deputy Sheriff Hall said that feeling ran high in Alicia against the wounded bandit and that there were threats of a lynching.
 Just before the bandit car reached Alicia, according to the stories told by both Davis and Upton, the three robbers overpowered Upton and tied him to a tree. They then

One of the most sensational bank robberies ever staged in North Arkansas was attempt ed at Alicia Wednesday morn ing about 9:30, and resulted in two men being killed, a third probably fatally wound ed and a fourth slightly in- jured.
 The dead are Rev. w. F. Franks, a prominent Metho- dist minister who is a brother in-law to our fellow-townsman, w. c. Martin, local manager of the Yeatman-Gray Grocer Go.
 F. M. Light, aged 55, a farmer residing near Alicia was shot twice through the lungs by the bank robbers. and died instantly.
 W. J. Davis, aged g, one of the robbers, was shot through the abdomen and probably fatally wounded. He was talk en to the penitentiary at Little Rock and operated upon, but there is little hope for his re- covery. 4S6
 A man named Logan, a res ident of Alicia, received a flesh wound during the battle in the bank.
 Rev. Franks was well known in Newark, having preached here on several occasions. He was in the bank closing a deal for some church property when the bandits entered the bank. He was placed on a

NEW P. M. WILL BE
 APPOINTED SOON
List of Eligibles For Appoint ment as Postmaster at
 Newark Office


 through Congressman w. A. Oldfield the official list of those eligible for appointment as postmaster at Newark and the list indicates the original plans of the local Republican organization have been turned topsy-turvy as a result of the Civil Service examination.
 The appointment is suppos- ed to be made from one of the three applicants making the highest grade. Those making the highest grades, and the ratings made by them, are as follows:
 Miss Ada Welborn, 81.60.
 Claude Jackson, 75.30. Rev. G. L. Fink, 1880.
 Miss Welborn who made the highest grade, has been em- ployed in the postoffice as as- sistant postmaster for the past year, and under the old ruling would be given the appoint ment. However, Harding's famous modification" order permits the appointment to be made from any of the three highest, and under this ruling the appointment will be given to the one who secures the endorsement of the local Re- publican organization. Either of those on the eli gible list will make a good postmaster, Miss Welborn being thoroughly familiar with the duties of the office by reason of her service in the office. MT. Jackson has had considerable experience in the postal service, having served some time as clerk in the postoffice at Newport and hav- ing served as substitute carrier on the local mail route. While Rev. Fink has had no experi- ence in the postal service, he taught in the public schools for number of years and has been active in the ministry for a number of years and has had considerable experience in dealing with the public.
 The appointment will be made as soon as the local Re publican organization for wards their endorsement to Washington, which will prob. ably be within the next few days.
 When this is done, the nom- ination will be sent to the Senate by President Harding for confirmation. It usually about four to six weeks to get through with this proceeding and get the com mission to the new appointee.
 So, along about the holiday season, Uncle Sam will act Santa Claus and give us a new postmaster as Christmas present.

drove into town and entered the bank with drawn revolv- CTS. Several persons were in the bank at the time and they were ordered to throw up their hands.
 F. $. Beavers, a farmer, was standing near the door of the vault when the bandits enter ed. He saw that a robbery was planned and stepped inside the vault, from where he fired on the three robbers. His first shot went wild and Davis returned the fire. Beavers second shot struck Davis in the abdomen, but it was not known at the time that the robber was wounded.
 When the robbers were fir ed upon they began shooting at everyone in sight. MT. Light was shot twice and died in- stantly. The Rev. MT. Franks was shot once just below the heart.
 The three bandits, still fir ing, retreated to the car and drove rapidly out of town along the east road.
 Three miles east of Alicia the two uninjured robbers abandoned the car, a Buick six, and fled to the woods, leaving Davis in the car. They took Davis pistol, a .32 auto- matic. All three were armed with automatic pistols.
 Deserted, Davis walked to the home of c. w. Fraley, a farmer, whose home was nearby. The Fraleys returned soon afterward and notified the officers of the presence of the wounded bandit.
 Meanwhile, the other two bandits on foot fled eastward through the woods and fields in the direction of Jonesboro. It is said that in all probabil- ity they have reached a sparse ly settled woodland country, where it may be possible for them to escape through the lines of possemen thrown out by the sheriffs of Lawrence; Jackson and Craighead coun- ties.
 An hour after the robbery, Upton appeared in Alicia on foot and reported that the bandits had taken him from the car and bound him to a tree beside the road with ropes.

$2,OOO,OOO WILL BE
 AVAILABLE FOR ROADS
Arkansas to Get Government Funds for Construction of
 Highways

Washington, Oct. 28.-An allotment of approximately S2,000,000 for highway con- struction in Arkansas is ex- pected to be available within the next 30 days as a result of unanimous agreement by the House authorizing it's confer ees on the Dowell highway bill to accept a provision carrying an appropriation.
 This action, taken late yes- terday afternoon, clears away the parliamentary objections which has blocked agreement between House and Sesate conferees on the highway bill.
 The House conferees will accept the appropriation of 75,000,000, provided in the Senate bill, and funds will thus be provided for continuation of the policy of federal aid in highway construction.
 The bill, as agreed to in conference, will be reported 
 back to both houses at an ear- ly date, and those interested in the measure hope to have it on President Harding's desk for his approval within week.
 Those sections in the bill as it passed the House, and which it was feared, would bar par ticipation by those states where funds are provided by counties or improvement dis tricts, have been eliminated.

Prince Tells of Rumania.

The Financial Times, of February 10, contains an
article by Prince Nicholas Ghika. a wealthy Rumanan
who was formerly cabinet minister and is the pres
dent Of the Banca Natiumei OF Bucharest, in which
this Rumanian statesman and fnancer gives very
favorable picture of the present situation and future
prospects OF his country The present financial situa
ron according 10 the prince, is the natural consc-
quence OF the war, during which large part Of the
country overrun by Germans who in accordance
with their policy, carried large part OF the livestock
and industrial machinery out of the country. 1t has
been necessary, therefore, to increase very greatly
imports to replace property and materials carried
away. Production at the same time has been below
normal account of dsorganization due to the war,
that country with normal prewar surplus of
exports imports of 3oooooooo lei has been
transformed into country with surplus of imports
Today however, with the factories and industries Of
Pennsylvania and with the rich territories of Besaa
bia, Bucovina and the Banat, Rumana's import needs
should be diminished and her capacity for the produc
ton OF commodities for export is greatly increased
Rumana now has ready for export over 100000
OF maize (ten per carr tens of thousands of
OF barley, and lumber. Because of the
transport difficulties. these goods cannot be brought
the ports for shipment abroad Railway materials
beginning arrive from America, Austria, and
Switzerland, that during the coming summer a
great Improvement in transportation is expected The
difficulties arising from the agrarian reform by which
most of the arabic land has been divided among the
peasants being removed by agreements between
all parties concerned regarding the terms and methods
by which the peasants to pay the landlords ior

Prince Ghka believes that there is no danger OF
Boshevism in Rumania since nearly every peasant is
landowner and conservative and ninetenths of the

shevist rule in Moldavia in 1918 gave the Rumsnans
taste of what Bolshevism means. Beyond the Drue-
River there $4,000 Bolshevists without

Rumanans, who have today the best organized and
most powerful army in Eastern Europe.

Remaking the Sevres Treaty.

The revision OF the treaty of Seyres which was
on the agenda OF the London conference but has been
postponed TO permit investigation of conditions is
the subject of leading article in THE Near East"
of February a. The writer of this article holds that
this conference, insofar as it pertains to the Near
East is practical admission that the treaty of Sevres
has proved up to the present time unavoidable The
allies admit the failure of their previous arrangements
and propose to reopen the question in the hope of 6nd
ing solution which is satisfactory to all con-
cerned. The new settlement should not be based on
the demands of the Turkish Nationalsts for the full
restoration OF their pre-war possessions nor the
contention OF the Greeks that any alteration in the
treaty Of Sevres as it stands will be handing part
OF the Greek population to the oppression which they
suffered under Turkish rule before and during the
war. Smyrna should become an autonomous state
and the allies should endeavor to bring about the
establishment of good government in Turkey rather
than to restrict Turkish opportunities for bad gov
ernmcnt The writer admits that any reasonable
luton Of the Turkish problem is rendered exceedingly
difficult through the conflicting interests of allied
tons in the Near East and by the intriguing in Con-
stantinople, which is as complicated in the
days before Germany and Autria were eliminated
Another writer in The Near East maintains that
the attitude of the allies which implies that the modi-
fcation Of the treaty of Sevres is due the repuda-
ton Of Premier Venzelos by the Greeks is
sary and weakens the allied case, since there is
abundant proof that long this treaty is in force
conditions in the Near East must remain in state
of chaos. 1t is regretted that Greece has lost the
services OF NJ. Venizelos but it is clear that the
duct OF his subordnates in office gave the Greeks
good reason for desiring change in administration.
For the allies to give less consideration to other
Greek representatives than they would give to NJ.
Venizelos is both unjust and unwise.
The presence in London of two Turkish dclega-
tions, one, from the Sublime Porte and from the
Angora Nationalists who have presented similar de-
ms hufh IN iointl is
result of the refusal of the Constannope govern
ment to accede to the demands of the Ma
tionasts. Briefly these demands that the Sultan
recognize the Angora National Assembly and its
ecutve council the sole legal government of Turkey
and to issue imperial trade to this effect; that he
admit the exclusive right of the National Assembly
to negotiate with foreign powers in the of Tur-
key; and that he accept Nationalist delegate at his
court for the purpose Of iaison with the Nationalist
government.

Think Treaty Unworka BILE.

In an article Te Problcme dc Traite de Sevres" :"
by Benedict in LEurope Nouvelle, the complications
arising from the Turkish treaty and the French policy
and program discussed. 1t is generally admitted
that the treaty with Turkey had scarcely been signed
before it was considered to be unworkable; that it
sacrificed realities for theories; and that for motives
Of civilization and Christianity it disregarded economic
and racial considerations that it mutilated Turkish
Asia Minor by depriving it OF Smyrna; and that it
Inundated the Turkish people by placing certain ter
ritories in which their predominatcs under the
rule OF foreigners and placing their capt under the
influence OF the Greeks, After examining the reasons
for tho attitude adopted by the British and French
the following conclusions are reached:
l. An ethnographc Turkey exists and should be
preserved The Turkish administrative and military
power essential to maintain order and stability in
Asia Minor
3 The Smyrna enclave is essentially non Greek
and Greek domination there has been maintained by
force of 1t is the natural outlet OF Anatoa. To
guarantee the rights Of both Greeks and Turks, the
precedent OF Danzig should be followed.
g. An Independent Armenia reduced in size should
be placed under the authority of the league until it
able to join a Caucasian confederation.
j. 1t is sufficient for Kurdistan TO assure the
tonomy OF the Assyro Chaldcan communities under
Turkish sovereignty and to provide for the eXploa-
ton OF the mineral resources OF Mosul which
important to the world. A special regime should be
accepted by tho Turks for the districts placed under
the Trpartipe agreement in the zones OF influence OF
Italy, France, and England

Turkish territory should be extended perhaps to the
Enos-M -Midia line. The rest of Thrace to be under
Greek rule with the guarantee OF the rights OF Bull
gara in Dcdcagatch and to the railroad to Bulgarian
territory.
6 Military, financial, and administrative regula-
tions imposed upon Turkey hould be lightened in
order to encourge patriotic feeling There should, of
course be assurance that the security of Christian
