plete State Capitol.

University Removal Indefinitely
Postponed.

senate by vote of 10 to IS. After
accepting the bill in a committee
of the whole the senate spent the

Nay-Arnold, Carlock, Dill, Ed
mondson, Glover, Hamiter, Hen
derson, Johnson, Keel, Logan,
Mcknight, Watson, White, Wingo,
and Yopp.-I5.
A number of those voting against
the bill cast their vote because they
were of the opinion the approprla-
ton was too high.
The bill will be transmitted to
the house today and probably TAX
en- up under a suspension of the
rules, as this is the right of way
bill over all and the legislators are
anxious to get the state house
question settled for all time to
come as soon as possible.
House Kills Leigh Bill.
The house yesterday afternoon
voted to indefinitely postpone action
on the Leigh bill, forming Little
Rock into an improvement district
for the purpose of raising $3.50, 1000
TO bring the University of Arkan-
sas to Little Rock. This is de-
cided set back to the forces which
were working to bring the unlver-
sity to this city. The vote on the
indefinite postponement of the bill
stood 40 to 81

this session of the Conway public
school and on May II will be closed
one of the most successful years in

much good this session and has
become an important factor in the
school work.
The commencement sermon will
be preached next Sunday, May 9, at
the Methodist church by Rev. w.
j. Mccoy of Martin, Tenn, one OF
the ablest ministers in the south
The music for the occasion will be

and will be the first entertainment
in the new school building. A
small admission fee will be charg-
ed which will be used in purchas-
ing books for the library and pic
lures for the different rooms and
auditorium.
On Friday evening following the
graduating exercises will take
place. At the conclusion of the
program by the students the class

BOLD ATTEMPT
AT KIDNAPIt G

Little Rock April 2o.-What is
believed to have been all attempt
at kidnapping, was made yester-
day afternoon at the Convent school
for bows at Sixth and Louisiana
streets. A stranger drove up to the
parochial school and called for the
little son of B. Heinze. well-to do
baker, who conducts CONNECTION
cry and bakery at us Main street.
The little fellow went out to the
buggy and the man told the child
to climb in as he was going to take
him home in a hurry as his father
had been dangerously Injured. The
child refused to climb in the buggy
and leave his hat so darted back
into the school.
When the child returned to the
school room one of the sisters ask
ed him if knew who the man IN
the buggy was and received a neg
alive answer. The sister, frighten-
ed on account of so many attempts
at kidnapping in a similar, way tele-
phoned to the Heinze establish
ment aud found there was no truth
in the story of B Heinze being in
iured. The mother fastened out
and found Mr. Heinze, who sum-
moned a policeman. Whe the OH
Ger reached the school, the man
was driving away, evidently fright
ened by the failure OF the child to
return. The officer gave chase,
but the stranger whipped up the
horse and escaped. The buggy
was later discovered where it had
been abandoned. A general alarm
was issued to the police, and it is
expected that some arrests will fol-
low as many saw the man sitting
in buggy in front of the school
and they will be able to recognize
him should he be arrested.

Overseers Like Machines.

The road overseers of the county
are making their monthly reports
to the county court today. AS the
weather during April has been ia
vorable, an unusually large amount
of work has been done. Each dis
trict in the county was recently
supplied with road grading ma
chine and the overseers are de-
lighted with them. Al humber OF
them stated at the court house this
morning that they were able to do
twice as much work as with the
old fashioned slips.

GROOM ninety;
BRIDE EIGHTY

County Clerk J. H. Bailey may
not believe in going to extremes,
but two of his official acts during
the past week look little that
way. After issuing license last
Saturday for a young man to wed
bride of IA, the clerk, evidently
with the notion of evening things
up, this morning granted a mar
rage license to James w. McLain,
colored citizen of Mayhower,
who boasts of 90 years. His bride
is to be Lou Bryant, who is only
SO.
Other marriage license issued
today were:
J. Pendergraft, AZ, to Eula Blythe,
II, Damascus.
Louis Mason, p, and Gussie
Simpson, 20, Conway.

DORM|TORY TO
Be INCLUDED

Little Rock, April 3o.-Special.
An appropriation of S375oo for
young ladies dormitory will be
included in the State Normal APP
preparation bill when it passes the
senate. By unanimous consent
the bill was taken up at the begin
ming of the morning hour today
and Senator White m owed that it
be placed back on its second reading
for the purpose of amendment.
The motion carried and he then
offered an amendment inserting in
the bill an appropriation of $751;
500 for the dormitory building,
with the provision that the funds
for this purpose be not made avail
able until June I, 1910. The
amendment was adopted with only
a few votes registered against it
and the bill was ordered engrossed
and made a special order for Mon
day morning, at which time it IS
thought that it will pass without
opposition.
The amount for the dormitory
was reduced by s., 500 on account
of the fact that the senate in COM
mittee of the whole had already
adopted a measure rejecting the
item of $40, 900 for this purpose,
and an amendment re-inserting
this amount would have been out
of order.

W. R. JAMES AND WIFE SUED
Heir of Late John R. Suffer Seeks
Recovery of Property.
Alleges Conveyances from Grandfather to
Defendants were Wrongfully OBJ
tanned.
FROM WEDNESDAYS DAILY.


John w. Suter, grand son and
heir-in law of the late John r Su-
ter. by his attorneys, George Shaw
and George w. Clark, has filed
suit against w. R. James and his
wife, Mrs. Edna P. James, for the
recovery of two pieces of city prop
erty formerly owned by the elder
Suter. In his complaint the
plaintiff charges that the property
involved was conveyed through
wrongful Misrepresentation of the
defendants.
In the first suit, which is against
Mrs. Edna P. James, the plaintiff,
alleges that John R. Suter, at the
time of his death, March rs, 1909,
was the equitable owner of lots 2
and :, block 8, Robinson's plan of
Conway and that he is the grand
son and only heir-atlaw of the de-
ceased; that John R. Suter at the
time of his death and for several
years prior thereto, was in i'll
health, senile decay and second
stage of childhood; that he was de-
sirous of getting married in 1904
and thereafter and after moving to
the home of the defendant as
boarder in 1904, became insanely
infatuated by the defendant and
was encouraged by her, and, in
consideration of a promise to mar
ry him, Suter conveyed to her
the property sued for, in Septem-
Der, 1904; that consideration of
$500 mentioned in the deed was
never paid by the defendant; that
that the defendant often postponed
the marriage, but Suter was always
anxious and willing for itsconsun
nation, until August 25, 1909,
when the defendant, who was wild,
ow, Mrs. Edna P. Jones, was mar
ried to w. r. James; that Suter
then realized he had been deceived,
and contemplated bringing All &C
ton to cancel the deed and had ad-
vised with council to this effect.
w. R. and Mrs. Edna P. James
are Joint defendants in the second
suit brought by John R, Suter.
In this suit the plaintiff alleges
that on May so, 1908, John R. SUI
ter made a contract with w. r.
James conveying to him lot 4,
block s, Robinson's plan of Con-
way for a consideration OF 5000
and conveying from James to Su-
ter so acres of land in section 80,
township S, range IS west, for a
consideration of $1,000; that this
price was exhorbitant and
that the defendants knew Suter
was penniless and without
income to meet deferred pay
ments, and did falsely, designed
ly, corruptly and wickedly per-
suade and induce by undue in
fuence" Suter to sign these con-
tracts; that on March II, 1909,
the defe adants pursuaded Suter to
| reCOnvey to defendants the land
which he had contracted to pur-
chase from, the consideration be-
ing the SI1oo in notes which Suter
had given for the deferred pay
ments; that on the night of that
day Suter became violently i'll and
died the following morning at the
home of the defendants. The
plaintiff also alleges that the de-
PENDANTS have i'll their possession
certain personal property of John
R. Suter, which they refuse to
surrender to him.
In each suit the plaintiff asks
for a decree annulling the deeds
by which Suter conveyed the prop
erty to the defendants
