Shake-Up In Guard Predicted.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 5. —Some
shaking up will take place in tlu
Arkansas National Guard when
the report of Captain Albert B.
Sloan, regular Army officer who
i> inspecting the Guard of the
s’ate, reaches Acting Governor
F •.trell. This will be done with
the intent of saving the Guard
and making it into the military
organzation the state govern
ment would have it be.
Capt. Sloan, after inspecting
eighteen companies in North and
East Arkansas, compliments j
some of the companies highly,!
in a report made to military J
headquarters, and some compan
ies he has spoken of in terms of
strong disapproval. There are 4
some of the companies which
Capt. Sloan ranked with any of .
those in the regular army, in
neatness, drill and discipline. !
Some of the companies he states
were poorlv*drilled, the armor
ies ill kept and the members
were garbed as though they had
thrown the uniforms in a pile
and scrambled for the different
oieces they wore.
Some of the companies cannot
oe complimented too highly,
^apt. Sioan says: “The pro
gress thev have made is mar
i
^elous. Though they drill not j
more than once a week, they
compare well with the regulars
vho drill daily, and spend a
lumber of hours at it. I’ll tell
you, there is something to the
company wThich gets out and
lays the armory rent, chips in
md buys lumber for the lockers
m which to keep their equip
ment, and then builds the look
er itself.
“The action of the legislature
ias instilled a fighting spirit in
most of the companies, and j
they are determined not to be
mustered out of the service.
This spirit will do more to
maintain the Guard than any
thing else, and the failure of
the legislature to make an ap
propriation for the Guard ought
not to hurt so very bad, for it
has put the boys on their mettle
and every man who talks to me
on the subject expresses sur
prise at the action of the legis
lature, and wants to back the
Guard and keep it in service.”
Capt. Sloan will leave Mon
day to inspect the companies in
t .e Southern part of the state.
To Prepare Sanitary Code.
Special to Independent'?''
Little Rock, April 5.—Dr. Van
Ezdorf, who has been assistant
surgeon in the United States
public health service at Mobile,
has arrived in Little Rock, hav
ing been detailed by Surgeon
General Rupert Blue to the as
sistance of the Arkansas Board
of Health. F. L. Watkins, spec
ial agent of the Bureau of Cen
sus, has also been sent to Little
Rock from Washington, to be
connected with the Board of
Health. These two government
officials are now assisting Dr.
Morgan Smith, secretary of the
State Board of Health, in pre
paring a sanitary code for use
over the state, which will be
submitted to the Board at its
next meeting, which will be a
bout April 30.
The Board of Health has been
assigned offices in the Capitol,
but they will not be equipped
until after the next meeting.
The present quarters are too
small for the force of the de
partment, on account of the ad
dition of the government ex
perts, so the Capitol Commission
is asked to provide larger quar
ters on the first floor of the
building when it is completed.
After the next meeting the
Board will be prepared to is
sue orders for the government
of the sanitary conditions of the
towns and cities, and it will also
be ready vtc., take charge of con
tagion, break
out in any part of the state.
The laboratories for the Board
of Health are to be maintained
at the medical department of;
the University of Arkansas, and
extensive improvements will be
made in the college laboratory j
to care for the business of the j
state.
Sixteen Millions Involved.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 5.— Judge
Jacob Trieber has taken under
advisement the petition filed by
the defense in the suit of John
F. Cubbins and others against
the Mississippi River Commis
sion, the St. Francis Levee Dis
trict. theChicot county and four
teen other levee districts in the
state, to dismiss and will render
a decision in several weeks.
The pettion, which was argued
in chambers Friday, sought to
dismiss the complaint for want
of equity. B. E. Moses of
Memphis, represented the plain
tiffs, and John Ike Moore of
Helena, and J. A. Turner of
Jonesboro, looked after the in
terests of the levee districts.
This suit was filed in the court
at Helena, at the same time sim
ilar suits were filed in the courts
JL ieillie>ncc, luioaionil^i aim
Louisiana. The plaintiffs seek a
restraining order to prevent the
Iefendants from building any
more levees, claiming the con
Sning of the high water to a
certain channel has caused lands
belonging to them to become ov
erflowed, which were never be
fore. The lands of the defend
ants are in Tennessee, and in
all, about $16,000,000 is involv
ed. These lands lie between the
river and the foothills, and as
long as there was no levee on
the Arkansas side of the Missis
sippi, the water flowed over the
whole St. Francis basin during
the flood season. When the lev
ees were built to protect Arkan
sas lands, the water was forced
over onto the Tennessee side.
The plaintiffs claim the levee
districts should pay for the dam
age done to their lands by the
overflow, or to purchase the
lands in question. Should they
be successful in seeking an in
junction, suits at law to collect
damages at law will follow.
