AMERICAN PLAN
IS VOTED DOWN

The Hague. Sept. 19.-The Amer
lean plan for the organization of
permanent court Of arbitration has
failed. II was suggested by Joseph
Choate that fifteen judges be elected
by direct vote OF the governments.
but this was also defeated by the
special committee before whom the
matter was considered.
A proposal introduced by Sir Ed
ward Fry, of Great Britain, was
adopted. 1t was to the effect that
the conference should pass the
scheme for the organization and pro-
cedure of the court and remit the
complete convention to the various
governments leaving blank the ar
ticle providing for the election of
judges, but recommending that the
governments consider among them
selves how best to overcome the diff
iculty.

T. F. WILSON

Green Forest, Ark, March 4, or. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
 It affords me much pleasure to state that the insurance carried by me on my business buildings which were recently destroyed by fire, has been promptly and satisfactorily ad- jnsted. had two policies of insurance at the time of the fire, both in companies represent ed by E. c. Cooper, the Citizens Fire Insur- ance Company of Clarksville, Ark, and the National Mutual Fire Insurance Company of Omaha, Nebraska. 1 am highly pleased with the prompt and satisfactory manner in which Mr. Cooper has looked after my interests since the fire and with the, honorable adjust ment made by the companies.
 1 have never thought much of the necessity of carrying insurance but can see clearly now that man is making a great mistake by not carrying insurance on his property, es pecially when it can be secured in such com panies as the Citizens of Arkansas or the Ma tional Mutual of Omaha, Nebraska.

A Strong Case.

E. c. Cooper, general agent of the FidelityMutual Life In- surance Company of Philadel- phia, received last Friday a draft for $l000.00 in settle ment of insurance on the life of John T. Wilson. This is certainly an unusual case and the prompt settle ment of the claim speaks vol. umes for the Fidelity Mutual. On Saturday. May 27, MT. Wilson applied to w. M. Smith, a local agent of the company, for a policy of 5000, Wilson was examined by a physician, found to be a good risk and the application went forward to the. company. On Wednesday morning, June 8, just ten days from date of ap- plication, M. Wilson was thrown from a n. .le and killed. The policy had not yet been issued by the company. MT. Smith had given Mir. Wilson a binding receipt when the ap- plication was written putting the insurance in force from that date. Two weeks ago Messrs. Cooper and Smith forwarded the company proof of death and Friday they re- ceived the check in full pay ment of the claim. Less than sixty days elapsed between the date of application and the payment of the insurance.- Green Forest Tribune, July 30, 1904.

 ACquaintlnces,

St. Louis, July 3.-William Watson of Marmaduke, Ark, en- joyed supper at the Beers hotel last night up to the time lie had to pay the check and found he did not have enough money. He left a diamond ring as security, and later had the satisfaction of seeing the friends" with whom he had dined arrested.
 Watson met two young men at Eighth and Olive streets. They suggested going to one of the parks. but became hungry when they reached Grand avenue and Olive street, and supper was suggested.
 After eating the strangers ex. cused themselves, leaving Wat son to settle. He later encount- cred them. Explanations of sudden illness satisfied Watson.
 The trio then started for Forest park, but had gone only @ block when his friends said they were detectives and accused Watson of stealing SIS from them. Watson took them to his board- ing house 10 settle the dispute, and there the pair packed up everything of value in Watson's room while he looked help!essly on. They had him terrorized, and would probably have gotten away with his belongings, but the landlady's son, becoming g suspicious, called the police and the alleged detectives were ar- rested.

A SMOOTH
 CRATER GETS
 IN HIS WORK

A man representing himself to be C.E. Mcdonald of Springfield, Ill.,, visited several farmers on a rural route near Springdale last week and pretended to be desir- ous of buying 8 fruit farm. In this manner he gained the confi- dence of E. B. Littlefield, a well to do farmer in that vicinity. He then visited Fayetteville and called on Attorney E. B. Wall, representing himself as John Pierson, a farmer from near Lowell and said he had sold Littlefield brood mare for S125 and requested Mir. Wall to col- lect the amount. The attorney wrote letter to Littlefield ask ing payment and the bogus Pier son followed the letter up, and when it was deposited in Little. fields box, took it out, and mail- ed a letter to Walker and Walker which contained a forged check with Littlefield's name, and a note requesting Walker and Wall ker to turn the check over to Wall. He supposed that the lat ter would cash the check but instead of doing so he placed it in the bank for collection. Mcdonald, alias Pierson, never called on MT. Wall for the money. having been frightened away for some reason, but it is reported that he worked 8 prominent Rogers attorney in a very suc- cessful manner.
 The facts in the above case
 were worked up by Postoffice h.
 spector George s. Bassett, of Ft. Smith who is now in the city. The forger has not been cap. Fayetteville Daily, Thurs. day.
 The grafter mentioned above got in his work on E. R. Morgan of Rogers, and escaped with the "boodle." The check was for $125 which Morgan took to the Bank of Rogers and cash ed, turning over the money to McDonald," or "Pierson." The check sent to MT. Wall came to the Bank of Sprlngdale from a Fayetteville bank, and in course of the days business the Spring dale bank gave the Fayetteville bank credit. Shortly afterwards MT. Littlefield came in and stop ped payment. The next day the check sent to the Rogers attorney came in and was promptly turned down. The signature on the checks would readily pass for MT. Littlefeld's. Nothing has been seen or heard of the man who worked the scheme, and he has probably made a successful es- cape.-Springdale News.
