So far no DANA ge has been inflicted on
the Claverdale and being new boat
she may be able to stand the strain until
her cargo is lightered.

verdale is stranded is leaking one foot

ter to be at anchor and thus beached

Malone May Not Hang

The supreme court will be called upon to decide the question whether a man can be hanged on a plea of guilty of criminal assault. The case is that of Walter Malone, under sentence to hang at Van Buren No vember 7. Malone would have been mobbed but for the promise of off, cials that he would be given a speedy trial The governor con- tends capital punishment cannot be assessed on a plea of guilty, and says he will submit the question to the supreme court and will not in- terfere with the sentence unless that body refuses to act. MT. Rogers says Malone will be mobbed if he is not legally hanged. The opinion of Attorney General Murphy is direct ly contrary to that of the governor. Col. Murphy says that the statutes provide that in case of confession to murder in the first degree the accused shall be tried by a jury be- fore sentence of death can be passed upon him. In a case of rape, how ever, there is but one degree, and its punishment is death, without any qualification as to the manner in which he shall be tried or the ef- feet confession shall have upon the pronouncement of sentence. Ma lone is now confined in the peniten- tiary at Little Rock.

Cold-Blooded Murder.

Tom Porter a colored laborer, was murdered in cold blood by Will Lee, also colored, in a restaurant at Lit tie Rock. The killing was witness ed by number of negroes who were in the restaurant at the time, eating supper. According to their story it was wholly unprovoked, Porter not even knowing Lee, and he did not speak word to him before Lee stabbed him in the neck with, sup posedly, pocket knife. Further in- quiry developed the fact that there was a woman in the case, though Porter was by no means to blame. When Porter returned to the res taurant from work he went to the kitchen to wash his face. The girl with whom Lee was enamored was in the kitchen and Porter spoke to her in friendly way. This anger ed Lee, who, without a word of warning, stuck his pocket knife into Porter's throat.

Million and a Half in Pensions.

Arkansas is second on the list of Southern states in the matter of federal pensions. There are more than 11,000 in the state, Tennessee being the highest, with over 18,- 900. Arkansas gets nearly a mil lion and a half of federal pension money every year, and Tennessee gets almost a million more. Other Southern states range from one or two thousand to six thousand. The large number of federal pensioners in the state is credited to the num- Der of troops which joined the fed eral forces from the northern counties, where most of the pen sions are now paid.
