and he collected six hundred specimens
for the American Museum Of Natural
History
On one Of his exploring trips Mr..
Holt and companion got lost in the
jungle and ran out of food 1t was
twenty-five days before they saw their
friends again.
We lived mostly on monkeys during
that time" he said, but on one occasion
we had to resort to eating snake stew
or face starvation. We ate the stew.
We had killed a poisonous snake about
nine feet long, cut Off it's head took out

LITTLE ROCK. Ark. Aug. Although
the Ku Klux Khan has not been organ

extent in the State Democratic primary
Tomorrow The activities of the Klan

in Little Rock, where 1t has gained a
strong foothoid.
Friends of Z. p. Toney of Lake VIII
Iage, candidate for Governor. are claim

but an impartial careful analysis Of
the political situation favors the nomi-
nation OF Gov. T. c. McRae for a Sec
ond term. Gov. McRae has been in
dorsed by the Klan but is not a member.
and the Khan has taken little interest
In his campaign.
A controversy has ragged between
Granville Cubage and A. B. Hill, can
didates for Superintendent of Public In
struction. over the authorship Of a pro-
November. 1t Is apparent that this
amendment. which increases taxation to
a large extent in favor of educational
plans. is unpopular. Cubage charges Hill
with being the author Of the measure
and Hill denies that he helped frame
the amendment.
Because OF Increased interest In poll
tics since the advent OF the Khan, Ar
kansas probably will poll the largest
vote In Its sistory. The Khan has In
dorsed candidates in every State race

G. O. P. Senate Nomina-
tion, Issues Def.

Frank Hendrick, a candidate for the
United States William NJ Calder. chal-
lenged Senator Calder In letter sent
to Washington yesterday to debate ten
separate questions.
Mr.. Hendrick declares his impulse to
enter the forum is not only particularly
urgent but seems to me to be excep-
tionally well motivated"
Mr.. Hendrick lays before Senator
Calder ten propositions, asking him either
to be prepared to accept the affirmative
and urge them upon the Republican
State convention or debate the negative
with him (Hendrick) in advance Of the
convention.
Briefly some of the propositions are:
1. That the Republican party will not
survive the Presidential election follow
iEg the passage OF a tariff bill by a
Congress composed of a House consti-
tuted upon the basis of popular repre-
sentation and Senate based upon equal
representation Of the States.
2. That the Republican party in the
State OF New York will not survive the
rext election unless a special session of
the Legislature is called to consider
measures to restore popular self-govern-
ment In the State and particularly the
popular nomination of United States
Senator'S.
3. That every candidate for reelection.
to the House or Senate should be re-
quired by law to make timely disclosure
CT the personal interests which have been
affected by the action Of Congress dur
ing his incumbency and which may be
affected during the term for which he
aims to be elected.
4. That Congress should have exclu-
sive power to pass laws concerning the
matters now subject to, the general
substantive and adjective laws Of the
State.
5. That there should be a single sys-
tenn of courts in the United States to
have Jurisdiction in all law. equity and
criminal cases.
6. That no sumptuary law will be ade.
quately or permanently enforced unless
sanctioned by Government based upon
popular representation.

chiefs of union vessel men on the Great
Lakes. announced that the Department

Cleveland or some other lake city.
In the event Secretary Davis is sue
cessful In bringing both factions to-
gether. Oscar r. Nelson of the depart
ment's division Of conciiation will be
present.
The labor leaders were asked to re-
main In Washington until word had
been received from officials of the car
riers association.
The labor readers informed Mr.. Davis
that the vessel owners had reduced
wages from $3.50 to sss month and
that the unions propose asking a go per
cent. increase. They also assert that
the carriers association compelled each
worker to purchase for 81 a small book
In which is recorded every act of the
worker which might be In conflict with
the rules and regulations of the asso-
