AS OR. eODBEY SEES CONWAY
The Impressions of Distin.
 guished Divine.
Believes that Future of Conway Along Moral, Social and Intellectual
 Lines is Assured

In a characteristically laconic letter Dr. J. E. Godbey, the dis tinguished divine who has been secured to occupy the chair of men, tai and moral philosophy at Hen drix College, gives his impressions of Conway after two weeks res idence in our city. The letter, which was published in the Wes- tern Methodist last week, is repro duced below:
 We came to Conway August S.. A protracted meeting held under tent, first by John B. Andrews, then by Wm. Thompson of Bark, was in progress; two meetings a day, well attended; mercury rang ing from 1o2 to Io4 degrees.
 Sunday, the morning service was held in the church. The audience filled the auditorium. Fifty-three persons were received into the church, forty-two on profession oi faith. The meeting. was closed by a service at night in the tent, when Bro. Thompson preached a very clear and strong sermon on the de 1e!opment of character, and re. sponsibilities Of probation. We board with Mrs. Pierce Merrill widow of one of the bravest and truest of the itinerants of the Ark ansas Conference, who have, with in the last half decade, joined the church triumphant. My wife s worldly cares are narrowed down to keeping in order two small rooms, and seeing that her hus- bands hat and coat are hung, each, upon their proper nail. As for myself, l know not what cares my duties in the college may entail; but the studies of my department associate me with that perplexed throng, who, as Milton tells us,
 Sat on a hill remote
 And reasoned of foreknowledge,
 will and fate
 Free will, fixed fate, foreknowledge
 absolute,
 And found no end in wandering
 mazes lost.
 The fact that we find such stud ies congenial may not suggest a hopeful inference.
 I was at the college yesterday. President Andersen is superintend- ing repairs. found carpenters, painters and paper hangers very busy. Our financial agent, James Thomas, has provided the means for many improvements. Every day, students or their parents are here arranging for board of schol- ars next year.
 The future of Conway, so far as moral, social and intellectual in fuences are concerned, is assured. The location here of the state nor. nal school, in addition to the two colleges we have, will make Con way, more than any other town ir the state, an educational center The town government under May or Martin has for years been taith. full, consistent and steadfastly true to the best principles. The schools make the moral sentiment Of the city and the city government holds them a sacred trust to be wei guarded.

CHINA REGAINS CONTROL
OF HER TELEGRAPH LINES
Agreement Entered Into with Russia
by Which Rights in Manchuria
Are Recognized-At Dead
lock with Japan
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
PEKIN, Oct. IA new telegraph agree
ment between Russia and China was
signed here today. Under it China re-
covers all her previous telegraph rights
in Russian Manchuria and 1000 miles of
lines and connections are formally turned
back to her.
Russia surrenders the privileges she
has exercised since the Boxer outbreak,
and in the future will pay telegraph roy
alties to China
This is quite different from the Jap
anese procedure in Manchuria. Japan in
creased her claims for telegraph and tele-
phone privileges and extended both
methods of communication in defiance of
the sovereignty of China, entangling the
matter with the entire political question
in Manchuria
The -Manchuria boundary dispute
between China and Japan is at a dead
lock- The battalions of Chinese troops
who were given orders to occupy Chen
Tao were stopped by Japanese protests
to China and the presence on the border
of detachment of Japanese troops UNI
der command of a lieutenant colonel.
China relies for justification of her claim
to Chen Tao on an acknowledgment by
,the emperor of Korea about seventeen
Years ago that her sovereignty extended
there, while Japan relies upon the pre-
dominance of Korean interests and ac-
tual possession of the town.
China is pushing the construction of
the telegraph lines from Min Guta to
Hun Chun.

pIsGRAcED MAYOR APPEARS
SERIOUSLY ILL
Six Indicted on Charges of Bribery
Appear in Judge Lawlor's Court. j,
New Jury May Be Drawn
for Ford II al


BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 7.-Patrick CAL
houn. Thornwell Mutually. TREY L. Ford.
". NJ Abbott, Eugene E. Schmitz and
Abraham Ruef, all indicted for giving or
receiving brides in connection with the
trolley franchise, and Louis Glass, con-
victed of bribery in connection with the
Pacific Telephone company's interests,
appeared before Judge Lawlor this morn
ing in the superior court, Ford and Glass
to have dates set for their next trials.
Noticeable was the physical appearance
of Schmitz in contrast to that of GLASS
The former telephone magnate showed
in his face and bearing none of the eff
fects of his confinement in the county
Jail, but the former mayor looked like
a travesty of himself. His face was caved
in, his hair unkempt his beard ragged
and small trace remained of the once
robust ard magnetic personality which
San Franciscans hailed as distinguishing
"The man of the hour In fact Schmitz
looked like a sick as well as broken
man.
1t was the intention Of Judge Lawlor
to draw an entirely new panel of some
hundreds of talesmen from among whom
to select the next bribery graft juries,
the big jury box for 1907 in which were
deposited 240O names last February, hav-
ing been exhausted in the Ford trial by
exemptions and reflections.
The defense, however, was unwilling to
consent to this and a discussion lasting
more than an hour and participated in
by Garrett w. NfcEnerney for the defense
and Assistant District Attorney O'Gara
for the prosecution, and by the court, re-
suited.
Eventually Judge Lawlor ordered Chief
Deputy County Clerk Davis to return
to court at o'clock tomorrow after
noon a full history of all of the exemp-
tons reflections and services of and by
the 24OO talesmen in all of the twelve
departments of the court. This done, 1t

Ford jury shall be drawn
The trial of the next case against Ford
was set for Monday, October IA. on
that day the cases against the other de-
PENDANTS will come up to be set.
