great outcry at once broke out In the
prison, the convicts fearing they would

the doors OF their cell houses as the

 BEGIN SENTENCE

With his commitment to serve three months in the state peniten- tiary, A. B. Hall left yesterday for Little Rock, unaccompanied by an officer, to begin his sentence. Hall was convicted of involuntary manslaughter for tue killing of Mrs Susan Hearness on the Ark ansas river, two years ago. He appealed his case to the supreme court, but that body affirmed the decision of the lower court on last Monday, removing his last hope of escaping imprisonment.
 Hall also killed Mrs. Hearness' son on the same occasion, but was exhonerated for this tragedy.

REV. HURT SECONDS CALL
Agrees With Log Cabin Democrat on
 Need of Charity Organization.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 1 want to second most enthusias- tically your call for charity or ganization. If a wise plan is worked out there will be no trou- ble about getting the money. The city would contribute, l think and I believe each of the churches and lodges would also contribute to such fund, if convinced that it would be used for the relief of deserving persons.
 It is against us that we have no plan for taking care of unfortu- mates. There are so many fakirs who appeal to us for aid that we have almost come to believe al- most all who ask help are unwor- thy. Such a notion is not based upon sound judgment or sound religion, or a wholesome fellow feeling.
 For some strange reason travel Ing DeSSdIS SeeLn to Coine SlidiSn Ill to the preachers. Occasionally one of these is found to be worthy. Only last week I found one such and, though he had no more claim upon me than upon any other citizen, and though 1 had not a dollar to spare, something had to be done for this fellow, and out of my own pocket I paid for two meals and then bought him a ticket to Ft. Smith, at a cost of s. so. am very much i'll favor of charity organization, under competent management.
 Yours sincerely,
 JNo. JETER HURT.

GOVERNOR WILL
 CALL ELECTION TO FILL VACANCIES ON BENCH
No Opposition to Governors Ap-
 pointees is Anticipated.
Justices McCulloch and Frauenthal Will, ii is Thought, be Unanimously Chosen
 to Succeed Themselves.

Little Rock, March 2o.-Special. Secretary Bruce T. Bullion of the state Democratic central committee is today mailing notices to the members of the committee calling them to meet in Little Rock in April, to prescribe plans under which the party nomination for the position of chief justice and asso- ciate justice of the supreme court shall be chosen.
 The call by Secretary Bullion is made upon the unofficial announce ment of Governor George w. Dona- ghey that he will call a special election, ill pursuance of the law, to fill the vacancies caused by the resignation of Judge Joseph M. Hill as chief justice and Judge E. A. McCulloch as associate justice of the supreme court, to be held about July I next.
 The law provides that the special election shall sbe held within 30 days from the call of the governor, and the unofficial notice of the call is given thus far in advance in order that the parties may have time for the selection of their nomi- nees for the positions.
 No Opposition Probable
 There will probably be no oppo- sition to Judge E. A. McCulloch for the position of chief justice and to Judge Samuel Frauenthal for associate Justice. Both of these gentlemen are now serving on the supreme court bench, by appoint ment of Governor Donaghey. one as chief justice and the other as an associate justice, each filling a va cancy caused by the resignation of Chief Justice J. M. Hill and the subsequent promotion of Associate Justice E. A. McCulloch to suc- ceed him.
 Under Chief Justice E. A. Me- Culloch the supreme court met with no check upon the resigna- tion of Chief Justice Hill, the va cancy on the bench being ably filled by the appointment ot Sam uel Frauenthal of Conway, the most successful practitioner in that section of the state, who made great financial sacrifice to accept the honor of ascending to the su- preme court bench.
 Chief Justice McCulloch was thoroughly in accord with the views of former Chief Justice Hill and when he assumed control, he went right ahead with matters, guiding the court along the same lines as his predecessor, the court still cutting down accumulated business, and giving general satis- faction in its opinions, just the same as it has been doing for sev- eral years. Since disappointment of Associate Justice Frauenthal, he has worked necessarily, rendering more opinions than any other mem, Der of the court in the same time with the possible exception of Chief Justice McCulloch. He has been at his desk night and day, and in the conferences of the court has taken leading part.
 Local attorneys compliment highly the new chief and associate justice upon their showing, and this showing taken into considera- ton. it is hardly probable that any attorney of prominence in the state would risk certain defeat by announcing in opposition to them for the uncompleted term, at least.
