TWO PINE BLUFF CHILDREN CONTEST s-.M@a- = <, v sH5A Will of Late Millionaire Ber- nard Lowenstein, of Mem phis, With Other Blood Relative.
U N DU E INFLUENCE
Used, Say Petitioners of the Will in Which Thousands of Dollars Were Given to Beneficiar. ies-Pupils of Sisters.

Hortense and Ruth Michael, daugh- ters of Joe Michael, of this city, are two of three contestants who have entered suit at Memphis, Tennessec. to contest the will of the late Ber- hard Lowenstein, the millionaire dry goods merchant who died in New York last year.
 The validity of the instrument is at- tackled by the two local relatives of the deceised, and Herman Lowenstefn is the other petitioner. Until recent ly the two Michael children were pu- pills at the Annunciation Academy but their father was compelled to take them to Memphis for treatment. both being sick.
 Bernard Lowenstein died in the lat ter part of 1906, leaving an estaea said to be worth about $1,500,000. De- cember A last writing purporting

it had been conceived by Father Lucey Of Pine Bluff, who had made study of the situation. Father Lucey re- gards this bill as solution of the problem of lynch law in the South" said MT. Rowell, and he wants Ar kansas to give it a tritl." Answering the argument against bringing out ragged women into courts to testify against those who bad assaulted them, Mir. Powell stated that in his district an instance like this came up, and the judge promptly ordered the court room cleared of every person but the jury and lawyers, and that he believ ed other judges should follow the ex- ample.
 MT. Oldham stated that he believed the sheriffs of the county were better judges of the conditions in a commun- ity than judge who lives in another county, and he believed the sheriff should have the right to call special sessions of court to meet emergencies. He believed it were better that a wo- man be brought into an orderly court to testify than to be dragged before a Imaddened mob to identify brute, as
 was often the case.

Local Police Court Official Encountered Pickpocket on Railroad Train and Conquered Him.
ORDERED HIS ARREST
But Hot Springs Policeman Declined to Hold Alleged Thief-Incident Witnessed by Many Persons on Hot Springs Excursion Train.

Police Judge J. s. Sonny" Stewart successfully conquered a Hot Springs pickpocket last night while a passenger on the Pine Bluff Hot Springs excursion train. He ar rived home whole and still in pos session of his roll, after having al- most choked to death his assailant.
 Police Judge Stewart, with AL derman John Dellmon and J. w. Sanders, formed party of Pine Bluffians who took advantage of the excursion to the Valley of Vapors yesterday morning. Last night, shortly after boarding the train at the Hot Springs depot, to return home, the police judge was met in the aisle of one of the cars by two strangers, who blocked him and when he was arguing with one of them for the right of the passage way, the other thrust his hand into his pocket.
 Judge Stewart was little too quick for the man. He grabbed him by the throat and threw him over seat, choking him until his face was black and blue. He called for

NEGRO |S
 ASSASS|NATED John Hays Shot Through Head and Killed While Walking Along Lonely Road Near Nichol Place.
HE HAD NO ENEMIES
Murderer Believed to Have Been Riding on Passing Freight Train-COroner's Inquest Revealed Nothing.

John Hays, a negro about forty-fva years old, was mysteriously assassi- hated Sunday night while walking alone along a country near the Nichol place, where he was employed. Hays was shot through the head and died in a few minutes after receiving the fatal wound. He never regained conscious ness and there is no clue to the mur- derer.
 Hays left his home on the Nichol place shortly after g o'clock to go to friends house two miles away. When he neared the new oil mill :n the Eastern suburbs of the city, bull let felled him. Persons living nearby made an investigation, having heard the report of the gun, and found Hays body in the road. He was breathing his last.
 A freight train on the Cotton Belt road was passing when Hays was shot and some believe that the murderer fired his revolver from the top of one of the freight cars. Coroner Me Gaughy held an inquest over the ne- gro's body this morning, but the in- vestigation of the coroner's jury re- vealed no evidence duplicating any, one.
 As far as is known Hays had no enemies. He recently went to worK on the Nichol place. The body was taken in charge by Ralph Robinson, the local undertaken.

a policeman at the same time and big copper stationed at the Hot Springs depot, came into the coach. Judge Stewart demanded the arrest of the would-be thief, but the policeman told him that unless he remained in Hot Springs to prosecute the pickpocket, he would not arrest him. Judge Stewart told him it was impossible for him to remain there as he was compelled to be in this city this morning to hold court. The patrol man permitted the two men to go their way. Judge Stewart will probably take the matter up with Chief Jack" Campbell at Hot Springs and request that the po- liceman be suspended.
 Many Pine Bluff persons wit messed the incident, among them being no few ladies. It was the general opinion among them, judg- ing from the policeman's actions, that the copper" was "in" with the pickpockets, as he seemed to manifest no interest in the matter whatever. He told the men to behave" themselves and then let them go.
 Alderman Dellmon and MT. Sanders were not with Judge Stewart when the trouble occurred. They reported that the men tried to block them when they went into an adjoining car, but they showed them aside and they passed on, going into the next car, where they met Judge Stewart and attempted to take his money from him.

ANT|-LYNCH|NG
 BILL DEFEATED Charge Is Made That Meas ure Is Revolutionary and Would Allow Dictation to Judiciary.
MONSIGNOR LUCEY
Urged Passage of the Measure For Weeks - Representative Rowell Made Strong Plea for Its Adoption The Opposition.

The Oldham anti-lynching bill met noon after a severe attack made upon its provisions by Killough and Me- Collum, who charged that it was revo- lutionary and would place the sheriff of any county in an attitude of dictat- ing to the judiciary. Under the bill any sheriff who held prisoner against whom the community was aroused, and who feared that such prisoner would suffer from lynch law
 could order the Circuit Court in ses- sion for immediate trial of the case. The bill was called up by Repre-
 sentative Alex Rowell, who stated that it was a solution of the lynch problem that had been presented by
 Father Lucey of Pine Bluff, and that tbis distinguished man believed it
 would serve to reduce mob violence in the South. MT. Powell made a strong plea that Arkansas give the law test.
 The bill amends the law in regard to special sessions of court, that a
 sheriff might call for a special session of the Circuit Court within ten days
 where public seVtiment is aroused, or
 where there is probability of a lynch ing, was taken up and killed.
 MT. Killough led the opposition to the bill. He quoted Governor Varda- man of Mississippi, who said on one oocasion: AS governor of Mississip- pi Or sheriff of Coahoma county, would turn over heaven or hell to stop lynching, but as private citi- zen I would participate or lead it when an unmentionable crime had been committed by member of the black race against the fair woman hood of the state" Mr. Killough did not believe that special session of court in ten days would prevent lynching.
 When mob is aroused said MT. Killough, "it wants parts of the vic- tim to dangle as Watchcharms and souvenirs, and is never willing to wait ten days for special session of court" MT. Killough believed that t was wrong to bring woman who had been outraged into any open court to testify against a black brute before a gaping crowd, and stated that the only solution of the question of lynchings in the South was an amend ment to the constitution which woull gro charged with numentionable crime in private. He believed this would save the finger of scorn from being pointed at the women who had been victimized.
 MT. McCullom opposed the passage of the bill. objecting to that feature which placed a penalty on any judge who did not hold a special session of court in response to a call from sheriff. He believed that the judic- iary should be free from such threats to be fined for using discretion. He declared the law the most revolution ary he had ever seen. "Our courts should be above the clamor of the people," said Mir. McCullom, and we should keep good men on the bench who are responsible and then not hamper them with such mandates"
 Mir. Rowell defended the bill saying

Willis is entitled to the custody of the child, which is his daughter will be tried By order of Chancel- Tor Hart, the little girl remained in Little Rock for four days. MT.
