Governor Davis of Arkansas did not snub the President on the occasion of his visit to the metropolis of that state dur ing, his recent southern trip, according to Judge c. T. Coffman of Little Rock, who was in Birmingham yesterday. Judge Coffman says the governor refused to take part in the luncheon served to the Presi- dent because of the presence of bitter enemy in the person of Powell Clayton ex-governor and former senator, and not because of the presence of the chief executive of the nation.
 Tt is absurd for such reports to get out" said Judge Coffman. Governor Davis was probably one of the most en- thusiastic members of the Roosevelt re- ception committee. He delivered the speech of welcome and occupied seat in the Presidents carriage during the drive about the city. After the inspection of the forts, the parks and other things of interest the party was driven to the Consistory, where luncheon was served. The governor excused himself, and then the report got out that he would not dine with Roosevelt. IL was all mistake, lie could not bear to sit down with his polit- ical enemy, Clayton, a very prominent man in Arkansas
 Judge Coffman talked interestingly of President Roosevelts southern trip when seen at the Hillman last night just before he left for Little Rock. He said that the people of Little Rock were very much impressed with him and that the senti- ment there has been greatly changed In his favor He is also of the opinion that the visit south will have much to do With

where she was met hv an unknown man.

where she was met by an unknown man.
 Miss Fanny Knight was seen tonight and told of her trip with Mrs. Todd from the old ladys house to the railroad sta- ton.
 Mrs Todd seemed considerably agi- tated about something" said Miss Knight, although she did not tell me what 1t was.''
 Miss Knight added that she accompanied Mrs. Todd to the train at the old lady's request.
 MT. Hastings, the lawyer, said today that when Mrs. Todd's body was brought to New York, Ingersoll Lockwood, who had previously acted as attorney for Mrs. Todd, requested that her body be cre- mated. but her relatives had counter handed the request. The body was placed in vault in a cemetery. Lesterday Lockwood filed a will exc cuted by Mrs. Todd fin 1903, which was the will Mrs Todd said she had lost. Tn 1t she beaueathed the greatest part of her es- tate to her daughter, Mrs. Frank Tousey. wife of the publisher. The will also gave $500 to Lockwood. MT. Hastings said to- day that this will was practically nu1li- fled if a trust deed which MT. Lockwood declares he holds is properly drawn. This trust deed, Mir. Lockwood said. covered the entire estate except about $50Oo. Further Complications Arise. A further complication yesterday was the filing by an unknown person of d deed by which Mrs. Todd transferred the Won Hoffman apartment to Mrs. Tousey. The authorities are unable to discover how Mrs. Todd reached the point where she was killed, or whether she was a victim of 8 crime. The fact that Coroner Scholer and Coroner Dugan have taken the case up. makes 1t evident that mur- der is suspected.
 Coroner Scholer received a letter today from Coroner Dugan of Philadelphia in which he wrote that since the discovery of Mrs. Todd's body, circumstances have been found that require stringent investi- gaton as to her movements after leaving the train in Philadelphia. Coroner Dugan said that he had been unable to find witnesses to give information on that point.
 Coroner Scholer was asked today by St. Claire Tousey, brother-in-law Of Mrs. Frank Tousey, Mrs. Todd's daughter, to have an autopsy made on the body of Mrs Todd The coroner ordered it to be made tomorrow.

That Pendleton is a growing city
is fully proven by the number Of
dwelling houses and business struc-
lures now under way, or soon to be
commenced. A casual summing up
made this morning revealed IS dwell
ing houses upon which work is now
being done or will be started imme-
diately, the cost of which will amount
to between forty and fifty thousand
dollars
Besides these there are now under
way eight business blocks and school
houses, the total cost of which is in
the neighborhood of 100000, thus
making a total of over $4,000 in
vested in building enterprises at one
time.
The following is a list of the resi-
dences that are known to be in
course of construction, or for which.
plans are being made:
]. Mumm, Lewis street, estimated
cost $4,000.
N. Humphreys, Lewis street, $25OO.
DIR. D. j. McFaul, Madison street,
ss5OO.
s. S. Butler Tustin street, $500.
A. c. Ruby, Main street, $4,000.
Sam Hastings, West Alta street,
$500.
Doss Turner, Court street, s25OO.
George Haw, northwest part of
town, $500.
]. H. Raley, addition to residence,
$4,000.
w. A. Morse, West Railroad street,
$500.
L. Rhodes, Maple street, $1,000.
Henry Scales, Court and Lilleth
streets, $4,000.
Frank O'Gara, two houses to rent,
$1,000 each.
G. 1. LaDow, Court street, $4,000,
George Hamblin, across river, $2,-
500.
G. w. Hunter, across river, $500.
S. H. Forshaw, Court street, addi-
ton to residence, $1,000.
Besides those mentioned above
there are a number of others who
contemplate building soon, but so far
have not had their plans drawn up.
| one of this class is Mr.. Hunter of the
| fi"ns of Graham & Hunter, who, it is
understood, proposes to erect a sub
stantial dwelling on the hill south of
! the railroad.
Judging from the amount of pro-
1 l"seG work there will be plenty OF
work for the carpenters, painters and
plumbers as we'll as for the lumber
dealers for some time to come.
