Seek To Nullify Law
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Oct- 22.— The
Standard Home Company of
Georgia, which made an unsuc
cessful attempt in the United
States District court of Little
Rock to nullify the Blue Sky law,
has given notice that it will ap
peal to the United States Cir
cuit court of Appeals. When
Judge Jacob Trieber announced
that he could find nothing in the
pleadings of the foreign insur
ance company that would make
the law unconstitutional, E. L.
McHaney, representing the
plaintiff, requested the right to
appeal. The attorney could not
state at that time to what tri
bunal the appeal would be tak
en. but Judge Trieber announc
ed that if the matter was taken
before the Circuit Court of Ap
peals, it would be taken no fur
Attorney McHaney has chos
en the Circuit of Appeals as it
has recently passed upon the
Blue Sky laws of the other
states, and has declared them
unconstitutional. Attorney Mc
Haney states this will make
them familiar with Blue Sky
laws in general. Those con
nected with the State Banking
Department, which has charge
of the Blue Sky law enforcement,
state that the Arkansas law is
not so drastic as those of other
states, and does not contain the
provisions which have permitted
the courts to declare the other
bills to be unconstitutional.

Actual War Conditions In V ien
na. i
(By Alice Rohe, United Press
Staff Correspondent.)
Vienna, Oct. 6.— (By courier i
1 to Rome, thence via mail, to
| New York.)—Vienna is a city
l of lost hope, of gloom, of grave j
' despair. j,
The once gayest and most j
i beautiful capital of Europe is 1
today the saddest, the most dis-j
tressed. Silent, hopeless, pro-'
tests against the horortf of war
which have turned this wonder
ful joyous city into a melan
choly sepulchre for the living,
permeate every stratum of so
ciety. I have seen a procession of
4,000 mothers whose husbands
have died in Galicia, carrying
in their arms the fatherless 1
babes. They filed past the great
cold palace of the ministry of
war. It was their mute appeal
for peace. •
I have seen a procession of
little children, plaintive and /
futile emissaries against need
less death Trains arrived ev
eryone ct wiled with wounded"
and dying. From the midst of
these maimed and mutilated,
sickened and suffering men I
have seen uncomprehending sol
diers, dazed by the horrors of
war. crazed with joy at being
home again dragged from their
' companions and placed under ar
rest. Their crime? Why they
|cried out in their clelerium a
gainst the Russians who have
brought such terrible defeat to
Ihe Austrian army. For no news
must he whispered by the fugi
tive or the wounded which re
flects the truth of the Austrian
disasters. And above these vis
ual pictures of the melancholy
Vienna of today I have sensed
the touch of those gray wings of
dread which cast their shadow
over the town—the soiled, the
sordid, the horrible wings of
cholera.
T have felt, with the people,
stalking beside this hideous en
°.my—the plague—its sinister
spectre, hunger. In Vienna to
day seventy thousand wounded
are being cared for in the hos
pitals, schools, hotels universi
ties and churches. The Red
Gross admits its inability to care
for the wounded and the sight
of helpless men, suffering reed
Jsaly and hopelessly is one
vhich confronts the workers in
the cause of humanity.
In all Europe there does not
exist today another capital
where the public is treated so
inconsiderately in regard to war
news. The newspapers publish
nothing save the olticial state
ments—and their “news” can
be guessed at- Arrests are made
hourly of Viennese who whisper
of Austrian defeat. Spies are
everywhere- In a cafe at Prat
terstrausse I sat in a nervous
crowd and saw whispering refu
gees passing their story on fur
tively and fearfully. Suddenly
I saw a young man whose face
told of his recent sufferings de
sert his companions and go to
the door and whisper to an of
ficer. Then he departed. In a
minute the fugitive was arrest
ed. He had talked to a spy
At the same station where the
incoming train brings new mis
ery for the gay Vienna that was,
I talked to a young mother
whose husband lay dead on a
battlefield. She had fled from
the capital to plead with the
government,, that had taken her
husband and robbed her child
ren of their means of support
for some of the necessaries of
life. She told in patient re
signed tones, of (bringing the
children from Galicia, where her
home was to be her heaven no
longer, and where blood ran
deep in the garden beds
“When we arrived at the fron
tier,” she said”, the scenes were
awful. T was manv davs in
getting a place on the trains,
because I had no money. A po
lice officer on the train demand
ed our passports and such mon
ey as we had and when we could
show neither he refused for
four days to let us get on-”
The natural impulse of the
fugitives here is to speak of the
evil days that have befallen
them and of the carnage and it
is hard for them to understand
the reason they are arrested for
it.
The sight of automobiles car
rying wounded past the brilliant
Hof Theater, the Opera, the Go
thic splendor of St. Stephens,
where formerly gay cars sped on,
bent on pleasure is one that now
moves the Viennese to despair. I
talked to one of these wounded
soldiers as the car in which he
was being carried, stopped, in
front of the Berg theater for re
pairs. He told me in whispers,
while the guards were busy with
the repairs, of the frightful rav
ages made upon th eAustrians
by the Russians and Servians.
“They have buried our dead
ij> heaps”, he said, teal's cours
ing down his face. “They were
killed like sheep driven to a
slaughter yard. The Russian
artillery has done unbelieveable
things. They waste the ammu
nition as though it were as free
as air. Their infantry is not
good but how terrible is their
orfUl arr 99
The patriotic spirit of the Vi
ennese runs to its highest when
the wounded are being carried
palace of the Minister of War,
through the streets- Before the
the cannons and arms captured
from the Russians are on view.
They are insignificant arms hut
people do not tire of caressing
them.
Lover’s Unique Devotion.
An unusual manner In which I
lover’s devotion was shown occurred
at Zurich, Switzerland, recently, i
cobbler, whose sweetheart died, ajl
prentlced himself to a stone-cutter in
order to execute a fitting tribute t<
her nJemofy, and after fourteei
months he was able to carve a beau
tlful rose on a marble slab and wrlU j
beneath: "Such was She." After W
had been erected over her grave h«
returned to his first trade, and no*
repairs shoes as be/ore.
