Enlarge Space for Ready.to. Wear De-
 nartment at Murphy. Martins.

The Murphy-Martin Dry Goods Con- pany has leased the store room on Main street adjoining their store, for merly occupied by "The Gem.' The rear partition has been torn away con- verting it into a room the full length of the store, which will be used for the ready-to-wear department. This gives much enlarged space for this department and makes it very much more convenient for handling the trade, fact which will be greatly ap- preciated by the buying public. Great enterprise is thus shown by this up- to-date store.

MYsTERIOUSLY
 ASSAULTED
Walter Emerson, of Cobb. Ark., Badt, Injured by q Stone Thrown Through a Cotton Belt Coach Window Friday Night-Taken to Little Rock.

Walter Emerson, a resident Af Co5D, Ark, was the victim of a mysterious assault Friday night, being struck in the head with q rock which was thrown through the window of tie Pine Bluff-Little Rock Cotton Belt passenger train as the train was pass ing near Toltec.
 <, MT. Emerson was sitting noe" q window, when suddenly he was struck in the head in some mysterious man- n"r and rendered unconscious. 1t t1s apparent that the missile had been thrown through the window, as the pane was broken out at the seat where MT. Emerson was sitting. At first it was supposed that Emerson had been shot from ambush by some mysterious assailant, but an examination O. his wound showed that he had been struck with some blunt instrument, and later the rock, which had been hurled through the window. was tHund on the floor of the car.
 Emerson was taken to Little Rock and to the College of Physicians and Surgeons Hospital, where his woin's were dressed and he was cared for during the night
 His condition was much impru 1ed Saturday and he will recover. He Was able to leave tue hospital that after- noon, and will return to his home.
 Emerson says he knows of no ":a- son why the assault should have been made upon him, and he is inclined to believe that somebody threw the rock at random and It happened to st.':kc him. There is no clue to the per,,e- trator of the deed. but negro is sus- pectcd and the matter is being i'vas- tisated.

Secretary Taft Says Canal Should Be
Finished in Six Years. '.--..-

Washington, Jan. 17.-Secretary
Taft appeared before the senate COM
mittee on 1nteroceanic canals and
gave information concerning the
project and offered suggestions for
legislation. He expressed the opinion
that the canal should be completed
within six years from next July and
that its ultimate cost will be approxi-
mately $500 100000, including the
purchase price.
The proposed widening OF the locks
was carefully explained by Secretary
Taft. He asserted that with the locks
Widened to 10 feet steamer of 1OS-
feet beam could easily pass through.
The largest ship this government is
planning to build will have a beam of
but 95 feet. The increased cost of
the locks Mr.. Taft estimated would b4
about $5,000.OG0.
Secretary Taft urged that there be
NO reduction in the wages to Skilled
laborers, in spite of the fact that ac-
cording to his estimate they were re-
ceiying in pay and privileges from so
to go per cent higher income than
they could earn lin the United States.
Secretary Taft gave it as his opinion
that any reduction at all would cause
serious labor difficulties. Even with
skilled labor wages at the present
standard, he said, there was recently
a strike upon the refusal Of the COM
mission to Increase the wages and a
force of men sufficient to run sixty
five steam shovels was depleted to a
force sufficient to run only thirteen.

SOME ARE EXCEPTED
Court Decides Hartman Must
Answer Certain Questions.
BUYING ILLINOIS CENTRAL
Head of Pacific Roads Ordered to
Give the information Desired by the
Interstate Commerce Commission
Concerning That Famous Deal.

New York. Jan. 17.-E. H. Harri-
man was directed, in a decision given
by Judge Hough in the United States
circuit court, to answer all questions
propounded to him by the interstate
commerce commission except those
relating to the purchase of Union Pa
cific and Southern Pacific railroad
stock in connection with the dividend
of August, 1906.
Judge Hough also directed Otto FL.
Kuhn of Kuhn. Loeb & Co. to answer
all questions asked him by the inter
state commerce commission. .A.
The questions to which Mr.. Harri-
man objected related to the purchase
of the stock of other railroads in the
interest of the Union Pacific and to
the Union Pacific dividend. In regard
to the $2S,00O,0 900 of Illinois Central,
purchased at SITS share, the ques-
tions which Mr.. Hartman declined to
answer are as follows: '"'>
Were the 10000 shares sold by
yourself, Mr.. Rogers and Mr.. Still
man pooled?
Was it acquired for the purpose of
selling it to the Union Pacific?
Was the stock purchased by you at
q much lower price than SITS with the
intention of turning it over to the
Union Pacific?
Did you have any interest in the
l05,000 shares sold at the time by
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. to the Union Pa
cific?
Was the 100000 shares acquired by
the same pool for the purpose of
selling them to the Union Pacific?
The questions which Mr.. Kuhn re-
fused to answer had to do with the
connection of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. with
the purchase of stock in the Chicago
and Alton and the Illinois Central and
what proportion of the stocks so pur-
chased was held for the directors of
the Union Pacific.
