Sets High and Proper Standard
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Aug. 13.—Chan
cellor Martineau set a high
standard of requirement for pe
titions to initiate proposed acts
or amendments in the future,
•when he granted the injunction
against certifying out the bank
ers guaranty and the miners’
qualification acts. There has
been more or less carelessness
and indifference in the past in
the circulation of these petitions,
and as a rule any body’s name
would be accepted. But Judge
Martineau holds that the names
of only qualified electors are ac
cptable on the petitions, and
where this fact cannot be shown,
the name may be stricken from
the petitions, and subpoenas
one-third of the names on the
Bank Guaranty petition were re
jected, leaving the petition more
than 3,000 short of the requisite
number of signers. As an in
stance of the character of the
signers, one hundred were se
lected at random from one of
the petitions, and subjoenas
sent out for the signers, but it
was possible to find a trace of
only one of them. It is a se
rious responsibility thatt one as
sumes when he signs an initia
tive petition, because he thereby
becomes a legislator; and in or
der to do so, he must be quali
fied in all respects as an elector.
Kidnappers’ Plans Frustrated
On the night of Tuesday, Aug
ust 4, three men, whose identity
Has been determined by the offi
cers, were overheard to be plan
ning the kidnapping of little
Ladye Elizabeth Watson, the
baby daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
O- D. Watson.
The men were sitting in the
Iron Mountain parkway north
of the station, when a local cit
izen overheard one offer the
others $300 for the possession of
the little Watson girl, describ
ing her as beoing accompanied on
the street by a large negro wo
man nurse, the plot being to
kidnap the child and hold her
for a big ransom.
Luckily the plot being thus ex
posed and the local officers in
formed, the men who planned
this crime were watched. Ar
rests may soon follow in this
case as the officers are confident
that the identity of the guilty
ones has been fully established.

Appeal From Mart*neau.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, August 13.— |
Leaders of the Arkansas Fed- ]
eration of Labor have appealed j
the Bank Guaranty and Miners j
Qualification Acts, enjoined by j
Chancellor to the supreme court. I
It will be too late to get action |
upon them in time to include
the measures in the September
election, even should the lower
court be reversed, but the Fed
eration desires to establish def
initely the rules that shall gov
ern the signing of initiative pe
titions.
Labor leaders say that court i
decisions have rendered the In
itiative and Referendum amend
ment practically inoperative;
that under the rules laid down
by the Chancery Court it will
be almost impossible to initiate
any measure that will success
fully resist the assaults of the 1
shrewd lawyers
It is reported that the Nation
al Referendum League, of which
Judson King is secretary, is
drafting a proposed amendment
to the Initiative and Referendum
Amendment to be submitted to
the Federation in October for
consideration. If it is thought
advisable, the Federation will
initiate this amendment, to be
filed before the legislature meets
to make the Initiative and Ref
erendum law more elastic, and
make it easier for the people to
initiate a law which they de
sire to pass.
Screen The House Campaign.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, August 13- —Dr.
Von Ezdorf, of the U- S. Public
Health Service, estimates that
it will cost $21.43 to screen an
ordinary sized cottage, and an
ordinary two-story dwelling,
$40- He advises that all hous
es be screened throughout Ark
ansas where the malarial mos
quito exists.
“The protection against the
bite of the mosquito protects a
gainst the spread of malaria and
contributes to comfort,” says
this eminent health authority in
a pamphlet on “The Prevention
of Malaria; Suggestion on How
to Screen the Home and Keep
Out Effectively the Mosquitoes
Which Spread the Disease.”
Copies of this pamphlet, a
practical treat; on the subject,
may be had on application to
the State Board of Health. He
also says that open fire places
should be screened, and adds:
“It is very generally accepted
that the Anopheles, or malaria
bearing mosquitoes, do not fly
high and therefore do not enter
rooms on the second or third
floors of a house;' but it is also
found that these mosquitoes
will fly over the tops of houses
and, when attracted by the re
flected light from chimneys,
will enter by that way through
the fireplaces into the house/
