Z TRIBUTE 70 S. y. LEAnE -.

a TRIBUTE TO s. II. LEATETT.
Mortified News: It is not surpris.
ing to know that the new policy which
has been adopted by the board Of
control does not meet with the 40.
proval of it's Oldest, most experienced
and most active member. Whatever
one may think of the system of state
control, through a central board, 81
the varied institutions of the state,
there has never been any question
that Mr.. Leavett has consistently en-.
deavored to make the board effective.
and that he has given to the state in
the capacity in which he has served il
the best that he had to give. It has
always been his endeavor to carry out
not merely the letter but the spirit Of
the law. Probably no man in the
state has so familiar knowledge o.
the work of all it's institutions, and
no man could have labored more
unselishly or more industriously
and we may add more intelligently, tc
accomplish all the purposes the board
was intended to serve. Although a
partisan in politics and a strong one
as it is a mans duty to be, contend.
ing earnestly for the men and the
measures which he thought would best
serve the interests of the state, Mr.,
Leavett has never given political con.
sideration any weight where the
board of control was concerned, and
we do not believe it would be pos.
sible, although the News has not al
ways approved of the policy of the
board, to point out where in lettine
contracts, purchasing supplies or ir
making contracts, and prior to the
advent of the present administration
Mr.. Leavett had much to say abou
all these things, he never allowed his
political preferences to influence his
action. His openly expressed disap
proval of the course the majority O.
the board have seen fit to pursue viii
have the more weight because of his
we'll known disinclination to give pub
lie expression to his views. The pro
vocation must have been great indeed
which forced him to assume the
position of critic of the officials with
whom he is associated in the public
service. ~,

jana Levee Board, has just returned from trip over the line of the levees in the district and reports that the river is up to the danger line, that is, against the levee, along the entire Tensas basin levee front; but there is no danger of the levee being over topped by the 51-foot stage forecasted for Vicksburg. The lowest grade levee at this date is seven and one-half feet above the water levee, and he states that he does not fear the levee being overtopped by any water that will probably come against it.
 What he does fear is the long con- tlnued high water and the softening and sloughing of the slope. He thinks that when the stage of the river is above 4S feet at Vicksburg there is cause for great anxiety and caution, as at that stage some of the big levees have from 15 to 20 feet of water against them.
 He reports that every preparation is being made to take care of threat ened points as they develop. A quar- ter boat with 150 convicts on board Will be ready by February 1 and put at work on the unfinished piece of enlargement at Point Lookout in East Carroll parish so it can be moved quickly to any point where danger de- velOps.

HENDRIX LOST
 CHANCERY SUIT There Was No Authority for the Lease of the Mena Hendrix Academy, Says Chancellor.
HAS LOST CONTROL
Chancellor Shaver Ruled That Right to Property Is in the Little Rock Conference of the Methodist Epis. cOpal Church, South.

Mena, Jan. 2S.-The case of Rev. R. R. Moore ct al., against Wooten ct al., involving the lease of the Mena Hendrix Academy, was today decided by Chancellor Shaver in favor of the plaintiff. The academy was built by the Arkansas Townsite company and citizens of-Mena, and it's control was placed in the hands of the president and board of trustees of Hendrix College at Con- way as trustees The president and board of trustees executed a lease of the property to MT. Wooten for period of ninety-nine years, and it was to this that the town site company and Mena citizens objected. Acting for them, Rev. R. R. Moore, who was at the time pre- siding elder of the Texarkana dis trict, instituted the suit.
 Chancellor Shaver held that the
 Arkansas Townsite company, the '.iginal grantors, have right to see that the trust is properly executed and he further found that the pres ident and trustees of Hendrix Col lege exceeded their authority to eX ecute the lease to Mir. Wooten. The lease is held to be void. The chan
 cellor further held that by it's mis- use of the trust Hendrix College has forfeited it's right to longer be
 trustee, and he holds that the right of the property is in the little Rock conference of the M. B. church South. Until this conference holds
 meeting to appoint trustees to ex' ecute this special trust the chancel' Tor appointed Rev. R. D. c. Dodd w. E. Anderson and G. l.. Loch- ridge, local Methodists, as a board of trustees to manage the academy
 MT. Wooten is also precluded from his claim for betterments on the
 ground that he was not an. innocent
 lessee, but had full knowledge of the lack of authority of the president and trustees of Hendrix College to execute the lease.
 Tn the legal contest, the townsite company and citizens of Mena were represented by Alley & Norwood o' this city. MT. Wooten was repre- sented by Shaver & Pipkin of Mena Hendrix College by J. G. Clark, ano the Rev. MT. Moore by Judge J. M
 Carter of Texarkana. Under the terms of the oyslna
 grant a literary school must be maintained at Hendrix Academy
 MT. Wooten has been conducting
