Verdict For No. 7
 i'll Federal Court

Texarkana, May 26.-The United States Court for the Western District of Arkansas, Texarkana Division, con- cluded it's labors and adjourned for the term today noon, most of the court attaches leaving this afternoon for their homes.
 Before adjournment the jury brought in a verdict in the case of c. A. Reese vs. Road Improvement District No. ' of Little River County, finding for thq defendant.
 This suit originally involved quite a large road contract in Little River County, the contractors and road commissioners betting at loggerheads and the former brought suit for mon ey alleged due them and damages.
 Judge Frank A. Youmans entered a decree April t23, awarding the plaintiffs a judgment for specific sum alleged due them, conditioned upon their satisfying certain garnish- ment proceeding brought against them by the Bank of Foreman, and the nature of this action was to de- eide as to damages, if any, due them as the result of the suspension of work. The contractors and improve ment district split the cost of action equally by agreement.
 This was a case in which the con- tractors sued the district for $11 ,00H in anticipated profits.

NEGRO SHOT ANOTHER
 ON HIGHWAY NO. I
Monday Shooting May Prove Fatal to Green Williams Shot by
 Henry Creswell.

In shooting affray about 5 o'clock Monday morning Henry Creswell shot and seriously wounded Green Will Hams, the shooting taking place on the highway from Ashdown to Foreman about 6 or miles west of Ashdown near the J. w. Mccullough farm. Cres- well lives on the Roy Eaton farm and Williams on the J. w. Mccullough farm, their houses being on opposite sides of the road. Both were negroes about 40 years of age and married. Woman trouble was said to have been at the bottom of the affair. Williams and J. w. Mccullough, on whose farm the former works, were having an al- tercation and Williams was threaten ing to attack the latter when Creswell appeared. Williams tried to draw a
 pistol it is said but the gun hung. Creswell drew and fired six shots, two taking effect, one alongside the spinal column and the other in the side. The wound is serious though not neces- sarily fatal. Sheriff Collins arrested Creswell and brought him to town. After the shooting Williams ran to his house and hid his gun, which was later found by Sheriff Collins.

TEST COMING IN RUHR
Will Occur When French Attempt
 Force, Henry Allen Says.
Club Reporter.

Dusseldorf, May 27.-Former Gov ernor Henry s. Allen of Kansas, who is visiting the Ruhr, today in discus sing the situation, said:
 "The French are getting out all the existing coal and coke, but the real test will come when the supplied of coal and coke are exhausted and they try to force the Germans to mine coal and produce coke.
 "The Germans themselves admit they are helpless, and fear a revolt should the French policy bring starv- at'on. Many of the industrial lead CTS in the Ruhr believe that eventually economic disaster will bring about a reign of Bolshevism.'
 MT. Allen returned to Paris tonight.

APPROPRIATION LEGAL
Attorney General Thinks That Agricul-
 turai Department Bill Will Stand.

Little Rock, May 27.-In an official letter to Ji nc. Ferguson, commission CT of mines, manufactures and agri- culture, written at MT. Ferguson's re- quest, Attorney General Utley express ed the opinion that the appropriation act for MT. Ferguson department ordered expunged by the Senate after it's passage, is valid and that the state auditor and state treasurer are legal ly justified in issuing warrants on vouchers and paying warrants from the appropriations. However, the ap- propriations <do not become available until the beginning of the 1923-24 fis- cal year, July l.
 Despite the attorney generals opin- ion, the status of the bill will not be definitely fixed until the Supreme Court passes on the expunging pro- ceedings now pending on the appeal of the Senate Journal Committee from Chancellor Martineaus decision that the committee had no right to obliter- ate or remove records of the bill from the Senate Journal. In it's transcript of appeal, the committee contended that under the Senate rules bill after it's passage must remain in the Senate for three days, and that this rule had not been complied with when the Fer guson appropriation bill was sent to the governor.

NAVAL READINESS NEEDED
Denby Tells War College World Is
 Full of Menace.

Newport, R. l., May 26.-Warning that the navy must be- kept ready fo1 defense "in world full of menace, was given by Secretary Denby in an address today to the graduating class of the naval War College.
 Tt is day when naval strength is vitally necessary, and full grasp by naval officers of world possibilities highly important" MT. Denby said We think in terms of hope for con- tinued peace; we strive through di- plomacy, backed by power, to keer that desired peace, but we must not be blind to facts.
 "We know now beyond peradven- ture that war between great powers or groups of powers will always in- volve many other nations, and we can not say with certainty that such a war may not come at any time.
 There need be no demand for ex- cessive armament. There will be none for a great increase of our present es- tablishment by the Navy Department at the coming session of Congress. We shall ask for additional cruisers al lowed under the treaty for the limi- tation of armament. We shall ask for additional light gunboats, the vital need of which is being demonstrated every day; and we shall ask for cer- tain submarines and airplanes.
 There will be nothing extravagant in our recommendations to Congress and we hope to be able to keep the proposed appripriations approximate ly within the limits reached last year"

Education Campaign Near End.


 The Little Rock movement for Christian Education, a part of the statewide Presbyterian campaign for $406,000, has opened up and with it's conclusion it is expected that the work in Arkansas will be completed. In the field section many of the churches have been visited but it was stated at headquarters that there were still a large number of Presbyterians yet to be seen. Fort Smith, Hope, and Morrilton have been practically com pleted and the campaigns at TeXar- kama and Pine Bluff are now being conducted. It has been planned to call conference of the workers early in June and review the entire field with a view toward making a Whirl- wind visit to every section of the state just prior to the close of the work on July 1. The state executive committee, of which Governor McRae is chairman, will meet at that time and pass on the reports by the workers. Our work so far has been remarkably success full,' says statement from head quarters, but we are still far short of our goal and it is necessary that every Presbyterian in Arkansas real ize the importance of the campaign if we are to succeed"
