DR.. NORTON IS GINSIntD
SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON SMALL
POX MAKES ITS
REPORT
N0RRED WILL NOT BE PAID
Special Assistants VIII Also Have
to whistle for Their Money
Norton Should Have Re-
sisted Coercion.
N0RRED WILL NOT BE PAII

Alderman Powers special committee
appointed to investigate the direction Of
the small poX epidemic, made its long
expected report to the city council last
night. The report finds that the COM
nlittee on health and hospitals acted un-
wisely in appointing a successor to
Health Commissioner Norton, the action
being demOralizing to the efficiency of
the health department. Its action in en-
ploying assistants, the report says, was
without the consent of the council and
was illegal. The city is held to be not
responsible for a portion of the salary
Of DR.. II. c. Norred, who was appointed
10 succeed DR.. Norton, nor for the salor-
ies Of extra assistants, who, it is claim
ed were employed illegally.
Dr. Norton is censured for not having
resisted the encroachments upon his aU-
thority and for permitting himself to be
coerced out Of office. The report was
withdrawn, but will be introduced again
at The next regular meeting Of the coun-
ell.

Attorney Peterson began his plea by
stating it was an an unpleasant duty he
mad TO perform, as he had nothing but
the kindl1est feelings for defendants and
their parents. But duty must be done
he pictured the murder In all it's hor-
rible details and said this crime was
one of the most horrible. The jury was
to carefully consider the truth and facts
and then it would be easy to find a, YER
dict.

ants this case is too important to coun-
ty, state and community to overlook
The law rests upon the jury today as a
governing body.
He pictured the home, surrounding,
etc. The finding of two. different kinds
Of shells showed two committed the
crime. The crime was the work Of
hardened criminals, but looked like the
worI of boys.
Attorney Peterson described the diff
ference in defendants temperments-Mi
Ter laxative, couldn't keep things to him
self; Hardy just the opposite.
"Why," Mr.. Peterson said, &c Miller
looks mild now, but let him out and he
would be the cock of the walk
The proposition of Miller to Preston
was gone over. Preston refuses ana
Hardy lends listening ear.
Mr.. Peterson then turned to the ali5i
and gave a short resume of each witness
testimony. He said he believed they
went to supper at 6 o'clock and started
home at $3.50; they had a strong desire
to see the girls, and the boys didn'
loiter around Bethel. He pointed out
discrepancies in the alibi and touched
on Breurer's testimony as to lamp re-
f1ector. One witness said he left at 9:26
and got home at 9:20 Then he said his
clock was slow forty-five minutes Had
to lie to get out of 1t. Thomas agreed
with others that the sun was down at
the railroad tracks, half way from
Bethel.
I'm my opinion said Mr.. Peterson,
sit was o'clock when they got to Mil
ler's."
Court adjourned until tomorrow, when
Mr.. Peterson will continue.

NEWS OF HAVANA.
Government Regulations as to I'M
migrants Criticised.

migrants Criticised.
HAVANA, Nov. 9.-The governments
regulations, with respect to the quaran-
tine of immigrants, have provoked some
objection on the part of the Havana
press, several journals contending that
there is a discrimination against Span
iards. The Spanish consul, apparently
taking this view Of the case, addressed
a letter to Gen. Wood, in the course of
which he said, in part:
81 cannot see any advantage, from a
sanitary point of view, In quarantine
third-class immigrants only. Almost all
Spanish passengers are probably nom
immunes, and it seems to me that the
new regulations will result in a decreased
immigration. I must admit, however,
that 1 have visited the immigrants now
at Cabanas, and that all express them
selves as satisfied with the treatmeut."
To this Gen. Wood replied in part as
follows:
GAS a rule, immigrants who come to
Cuba as third-class passengers are with
out funds and without definite work in
view. Heretofore this resulted in their
being compelled to live in unsanitary
places in Havana, where they have con-
tracted yellow fever to a large extent.
Those who are able to pay are, under the
present arrangement charged 20 cents per
day. Those who cannot pay are kept
gratitously. The new movement is wise
from a sanitary standpoint, and il is good
for the immigrants themselves They
could not live in the city of Havana
for the small amount charged them while
in quarantine. The movement, instead of
discriminating against any particular
class of immigrants, is doing all in its
power to further immigration from the
peninsula and the Canaries."
Referring to the report that the com
mittee on rules Of the Cuban constitu-
uonal convention is considering the ques-
ton of holding secret sessions, La Dis
cussion says:
THE public does not wish to have the
meetings of the convention secret, and no
good reason can be advanced for such a
course. 1t might be well to have some of
them secret, but not all of them"

Judge Moose and Prosecuting Attorney F. E, Brown, of the Faulkner county circuit court, dis patched business so rapidly that the entire business of the term was transacted in one week. This will save the county considerable expense and will certainly be ap- preciated by the farmers, who would otherwise be forced to at tend court for longer period, and by the taxpayers, who would have foot the bill Long terms ol court not only consume a large per cent of the county revenues, but also entail hardships upon the peo- pie who are forced to attend them. Much depends upon the ability ol judge and prosecuting attorney to dispatch business quickly, and there is no reason why all interest ed parties cannot be served just as fairly within a short period ol time as i'll a longer period. A slow-plodding judge may be honest but there IS no reason why he should be any more just or upright than the man who can do twice the business in the same length oi time, and certainly the judge who permits the lawyers and litigants to take up twice as much time as they ought to, entails upon his county heavier expense than the taxpayers ought to have to bear. Judges ought to be selected with a view to their ability to dispatch business as well as their legal abil- ity and reputation for fairness and justice. .-Arkansas Democrat.
