USED HER POWER OF ATTORNEY.
Wealthy Broker Now Sues Woman m Whom He Had Such Implicit Con- l.
 fidenCe.

Hot Springs, March l.-Mrs' Leonie Fordham, one ot the pest known business women o1 thlS section, the wife of Dr. W. G' Fordham and for the past three years proprietor of the Potash Sulphur resort and mineral water business, has been made the de- fendant in a suit brought by George Hutton Potts. a wealthy broker of Hong Kong, China, in which he charges that she at tempted to swindle him out of $75,O00.
 Potts is the gwner of Potash Sulphur, loc4ed eight miles east of the city, /and Mrs. Fordham has managed the business since he went 10 China, in 1903. To facilitaM the transaction of busi- ness, /Potts conferred on the wonkn his unlimited power of attTney, with the understand ing however, he alleges, that )Efe was not to sell or mortgage the property or part of 1t.
 A year ago, however, as the county records show, she sold one-third interest to Mrs. W. H. Schriber of New York for a con- cealed consideration. Later, after Potts had become suspic- ious, he appointed Frederick Charles White of London his at torney, and revoked Mrs. Ford hams power.
 When White arrived here, however, Mrs. Fordham pre- vailed upon him to delay in filing the papers, it is said, and, talk ;rgg Advantage of this delay, al- h ges the plaintiff, conveyed the remaining two-thirds of the property to herself.

 The sermon was strong one, and certainly should appeal to all who were present. The people freely testified to the blessings they had all received in these meetings.
 Tonight MT. Mcintosh hopes to have a full house, as he will preach a sermon which he hopes may be beneficial to all present.

A COMING STAR.

panyWhO Present The Player
 Maid" at Opera House
 Tonight.
 From Little Rock Gazette
 Miss Florence Davis came to Little Rock unknown. Unknown also was "The Player Maid" which she presented at the Capi- tai Theatre yesterday afternoon and night. If a good play and clever acting count for anything the lady will be better known next time, and it is to be hoped she will receive better support at the hands of the public. Her audiences were sufficiently ap- preciative, but it was pity they were not larger. Both play and actress are worth while, but a new star has hard row to hoe to make herself believed in ad- vance. The play, written by l Louise Malloy, a Baltimore news paper writer, has a prettily con- ceived plot, The relatives of Lady Dorothy Hastings wish her to marry the Earl of RoXbury, who has never seen her, she has a mind to marry one of her own choosing and she gets Eleanor Hallam, leading lady at DrQry Lane theatre to impersonate her at her home, where she meets an uncle and aunt of Lady Doro- thy who receive her as the niece they have never seen, and where she receives the attentions of the Earl of Roxbury. The earl had refused to be introduced to Miss Hallam, but in her role of Lady Dorothy he falls in love with her and she with him. A jealous ad- mirer, Charles Barry, an actor, follows her from London and threatens to expose her. He does so, indeed, to the earl, who swears him to secrecy, and keeps up the deception to the end, when the real Lady Dorothy, meantime happily married, ap- pears on the scene, and the earl, overcoming the predjudices of the day against actresses, offers his heart and hand.
 Miss Davis displays a pleasing versatility in her role ranging from a little vixenish shrew, who breaks up things, to the imper- sonation of an innocent, unso- phisticated maiden and finally to her own self, a woman who can really love. She is admirably supported by Elliot Dexter, who makes a charming lover, and a generally adequate company.
 Miss Dorothy Lamar, a very handsome young woman made a good impression as Kitty Hayden and Pauline Soles as Eleanor Hallam's dresser, displayed much , cleverness in her character role Frederick Lane as the jealous ) lover, spying on his mistress an( threatening her humiliation, ha! l a thankless role at best, whicl : may account for the rather un favorable impression he created a Certainly it is not a role for an! n actor to shine in. There arr places where it seems the dia logue might be pruned to. ad vantage. On the other hand th lively scene where Eleanor play the show, the charming lov scene in the garden and tn comic effect when Barry is mis taken for a lunatic, are delight fnl

We do not know what investigation
has been made of this matter but il
| is one OF such great importance as to
require the most careful and thorough
consideration, Two districts instead OF
one means thousands Of dollars less
expense and far more efficiency in the
work the sewers viii have TO do. But
while this may be true, it will not do
to retain the Twenty-eighth street out
let If thereby the water supplied to
the people may be affected Even if it
does not or will not affect it any, be-
lief of the people that il will or does
would be very unfortunate, This out
let has been in use some considerable
time, and while the quantity of sew
age discharged there is not great we
suppose ii has been great enough to
have manifested itself, by this time
If at all. into the water pumped into

may we not safely conclude it will
not hereafter affect the water?

LAST APPEAL TO
THE ALABAMA
VOTERS
Horace Hood, Candidate for
State Auditor, Issues
Final Statement.
Special to The journal.

Montgomery, Ala, Aug. 23.-Horace
Hood, candidate for state auditor, has
issued the following as his Anal appeal
to the people of the state for their suf-
frage in the August primaries:
Il am opposed TO any ring at the
state house trying to name state officers.
Il am opposed TO public officials every
four years parceling out the offices
among themselves in the face of the
constitutional inhibition, which says that
no state officer shall succeed himself.
Both Of my opponents are now hold
ing lucrative of1ices and have been
through two or three administrations.
They want to hold on.
'If the offices are good things they
ought to be passed around. If not n is
wrong to force them on good men eter-
nally.
Abuses grow up when one set of off,
GERS are long continued in power.
The trainers of the new constitution
wisely foresaw the danger of an office
oligarchy, and made state officers ineli-
gible to succeed themselves, and yet
there is a disposition among elective
and appointive offices to evade the spirit
of the constitution by running for some
other Office in the state capitol.
ical and official atmosphere around state
capitols.
Instance Of Doubtful Propriety.
"a governor Of Alabama left the state
and was absent for nearly twelve months
and drew regularly his salary, $1,000 in
round figures, in plain violation Of the
constitution, which declares that no
money shall be paid out Of the state
treasury except by appropriation Of the
legislature. and the legislature appropri-
ated $1,000. and not $4,000 for the gov
ernor, and yet $4,000 was drawn out.
IF had been auditor would not have
drawn the warrant for the extra salary.
do you want a change?
IF so, vote for me.
For a Square Deal
81 believe the railroads should pay
their full proportion of the tax burdens
of the people, and to this end I would
notify every probate judge and tax as
SCISSOR in the state, when the board of
assessment met. to meet with 1t and be
heard. / believe the people should have
the same notice to appear before the
board as the railroads This is simply
a square deal"
