RUTHERFORD SPE-
 C|AL COMMITTEES
To Hear the Contest for the Seventh District Congress
 sional Nomination

Little Rock, May 25. Hon. J. H. Rutherford of Pine Bluff, chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, Satur- day afternoon announced the ap- pointment of the sub committee to take up the question of con- tests for certain nominations that have been referred to the State committee.
 The committee named to con- sider the Congressional contest in the Seventh District consists of Sam Frauenthal of Conway, Otis T. Wingo of DeQueen, Gus Jones of Newport and ]. C. Rem bert of Helena.
 The committees consider the State Senatorial contests in the First and Twenty-ninth districts consists of Edgar Brewster of Pine Bluff. Henry M. Armistead Little Rock. w. D. JacoWay of Dardanelle, and Frank Pace of Little Rock.
 No member of either commit tee resides in the district where the contest is on, this having been done in order to avoid, if possible, all charge of faVoritism or personal bias, and to secure | perfect impartial jury to hear the evidence and canvass tn returns.
 The Congressional contest is between tn incumbent, Hon. k. Minor Wallace, who holds the certificate of nomination from the District Committee, and Hon. w. s. Goodwin. who claims that he received 9 majority of the votes, MT. Rutherford informed the Arkansas Democrat that he has received no protest from Mr. Wallace against the action of the committee, and understood that it met with his approval. Some of the returns have been received in response to the call made by the committee.
 Secretary John H. Page says that he has received returns from, or been notified that returns would be submitted to the com mittee from Calhoun, Ashley, Bradley, Nevada Hampstead and Columbia Counties.
 The committee will meet next Friday, May 29, to consider the returns, and will make their re- port to the State committee, which will meet on Monday, June 1.
 Ex-Gov. Dan w. Jones, coun- sel for Mr. Wallace, said last night: "Mr. Wallace is lodging no contest, but he has received the nomination by every possible rule of the party. There has been no concealment, and the re- turns from the counties have been made public and give MT. Wal lace a clear majority. He has not been notified of any action upon the part of the committee, but we shall certainly demand a hearing before any body that presumes to take up the question. We think that the committee might with equal propriety take up the question of the nomina- tion of the President of the United States or the constable of Big Rock Township, but fear nothing from the results of any honest investigation.

JOHN WILKES BOOTH AS / REMEMBER HIM.
(Wriden by Louis James for the Saturday News

knowing the man thus much my in
;erest in his performance of what was
his greatest character, naturally served
to induce me to view his performance
win a critical eye, and as such I did.
Never in my life have I seen per-
Torrance that depicted SO much of the
real Richard as l saw that night by
Booths portrayal. He seemed to live
the character for the time being, and
while ] personally do not believe in
such methods. in his characterization,
it seemed to fit the man. If / mistake
not, Ed Tilton was his Richmond (and
the night prior to my visit, III the
combat, Booth backed Tilton clean
ever the footlghts, so aggressive and
realistic was he that night; each
was an excellent swordsman and a
thoroughly trained all round athlete.
IL the histrionic art was ever handed
down from sire to son then John Wilkes
bodied In his great and gifted father
who was in his day the greatest actor
in .his country.
I have known many OF the old time
players who have been in the same
companies with John Wilkes Booth. Ed
Triton. sam Chester, Harry Langdon.
Owen Fa@cett and many others, and
they uli had az good word for this poor
MISGUIDED genius. for such he was. and
nothing hut an erratic impulse or an
over Jealous desire to gain fame Gf
only for moments duration) would
have caused him To plunge his family
and nation into the calamity that he
did, for deep at heart In a normal
-rame OF mind, he did not possess one
vicious trait.
