NEGRO WOMAN
 WAS NOT JAILED

Because Sammie Hawkins. a negro woman who was yesterday afternoon bound over by Justice l.. F. Cheek on charge of arson, had a baby to care for, Justice Cheek did not have the heart to place her in the county jail to await trial. The woman was released on her own recognizance to appear before the grand jury She was arrested some days ago On q charge of burning her own home at Ladd, Ark. The evidence shows no reason of gain by her act, as the house nor contents were uninsured. Complaint was made against the wo- man by neighbors, whose homes were endangered by the flames.

WANTS M WAY OUT
 OF COUNTY JAIL w. B. Sorrells Files an Ap- plicaticn for a Writ of Habeas Corpus to Release and Bail Him.
TO HAVE HEARING
Charges That States Attorneys Are Delaying Habeas Corpus Proceed. ings Until Indictment Is Re. turned.
'nAiy.>

An application for writ ot habeas corpus, the object of which is to secure bail for client Was filed in the Jefferson circuit court this af- ternoon before Judge A. B. Grace. by Attorney w. B. Sorrells counsel for John M. McVay, who is in the Jefferson county jail charged with murder who shot and killed B. A. Hardy at Union Station in this city nearly three weeks ago.
 In his petition Attorney Sorre!is states that McVay is in feeble health and that his confinement will result fatally if he is not permitted to en- joy liberty, owing to the fact that he is a sufferer with consumptioE and that the physicians say close confinement will aggravate the dis ease. Mir. Sorrells charges that the hearing for his application was set several times but each time the States attorneys would not appear with their witnesses or affidavits to en- able him to bring the hearing to an end. He says the attorneys for the prosecution are delaying the matter to give the grand jury a chance to- indict his client on a murder charge believing that it will materially af- feet his habeas corpus proceeding and prevent his client from securing his release on bond.
 Mr. SorrelLs declares that he has the affidavits of witnesses who wit messed the tragedy and that their testimony alone will warrant the re- lease of McVay on bond. It is hardly probable that Judge Grace will hear the habeas corpus case before the latter part of the week The McVay brothers were in the circuit court room this afternoon awaiting the announcement of the court relative to the hearing. They are very anxious to have their brother given his freedom and de- clare hat they can readily make bond in any amount. It is their de- sire, they say, to give him into the care of physicians for treatment His leg which was shot away by the man whom he shot and killed in this city, is still causing him much worry and pain and because of this fact he may be placed in hospital in this city or in Little Rock, if released from jail It is stated that McVay is unable to sleep because of pain from the ann putated member

 enable wagons to cross there, but the Transit company would not en- danger the lives of it's patrons by running cars across the bridge. IL is a good move of the Board of Public Affairs in ordering this improvement done immediately.

ment in this city The motion was seconded and adopted unanimously. Alderman Jordan voting with the Councilmen to retain the City En- gineer.
 Lakeside, or rather property owners in the new Sidewalk Dis trict No. 1 was we'll represented by residents of that part of the city at the council meeting. The spec tators benches were filled with per sons who went to the meeting to hear the outcome of the shade tree fight which has been attracting so much attention in this city of
 late. The subject was argued at
 length, during which the City Coun- Gil by vote of to { sustained the vote of the shade tree ordinance by
 Mayor Toney. Mayor Toney, to ap-
 prove his action in vetoeing the or dinance, voted in the affirmative.
 A resolution was later adopted giving the owners of shade trees in the sidewalk district permission to remove their trees and transplant them. The Council is to notify the property owners in due time, , when to remove them.
 In discussing the matter this morning Mayor Toney stated that the shade tree discussion was in
 his mind, much ado about nothing.
 We have never denied the resi- dents in the new district the privi- lege to remove their trees he said. On the other hand we have in- formed them that they could do so. It is not the intention of the City to cut down any of the trees,
 unless they are found in position
 to obstruct the proposed sidewalks.
 The people of that section of the ei6g are unnecessarily worried over the matter, as they have been given
 ample time to transplant the trees as they see fit. Eighty-five per
 cent of the property owners in the new District want this concrete sidewalk work to proceed and it
 will proceed, even if it is found
 necessary to remove some of the
 trees, after the property owners
 have failed to move them themsel- veS'
 T. M. Hooker, H. c. Fox and w. w. Byrd, commissioners of the new Sidewalk District No. 1 were ap-
 proved by the Council and qualified, An ordinance was adopted creat ing an improvement district on East Third avenue, from Main street to Missouri street. The new dis
 trict was formed for the purpose of paving that avenue with vitrified 
 brick, asphalt or some other durable
 paving material. Several side streets are also included in the district and are to be paved in similar manner. The other business transacted by the Council was of minor importance and routine matters. Alderman Nichol stated to the council that he had moved out of the ward from
 which he was elected He asked the Council whether he had forfeit
 ed his right as a Councilman by
 doing so City Attorney Coleman
 held that he was still member of
 that body, notwithstanding his change of residence.
