TWO GAS FRANCHISES
BciDg Asked FOr-Anothcr Ordinance Presented tO City Council for
 Franchise IIrrr.

The city council last night uuanj- hlohsly reelected city Engineer W. J. Parkes and City Physician w. IT. BlankenShip for another two years. Their election followed a brief exc cut1Ee session, which was held in tbe mayors office. The names of Robert NJ. FulWeler, who sought parkes. Job, and pr. w. T. Lowe. who was hoi'lohed as q probable successor to Dr. Blankenship. were not mentioned The councl also elected !. r.. Boyce. a member of the, board of public af iaifs' to succeed D. c. Bell. whose term expired, and tuIao is said to have declined the place TOT another term.
 The council also heard an ordi- nance read twice, granting a.natural gas franchise to If. C. Holland and -Dthers, and with a similar ordinance presented some weeks ago by I Mclntyre. representing eastern capt- tallsts' it was referred to the ordi- nance. committee. r,.
 numerously sisned petition ra. qnest!n@ the council not to replace the knocking bird" fire whistle, WAS laid on the table. 1t is stated that the whistle has already been re- placed.
 Alderman Jordan asked that Chief Of Police Stewart investigate certain sewer connexions in Sewer District No. $. and that if they were illegally made that warrants be issued for the offenders City Attorney W. B. Sor.. rells cited a similar violation. de- cIaring that .propert owners adjoin i ing him had been permitted to make sewer connections and that other. were net. He said some action ought 10 be taken against the parties who nave violated the law. Mayor Toney suggested that if he filed the infor nation against them they would be arrested Mr. Sorrells replied that ne thought q city like Pine Bluff ought to have officers who could han dle such matters without his having to file information against the of lenders, and if it did mot it ought to get some who will look after them. Mayor Toney rapped for ordef and MT. SOrrells sat down. u
 Mayor Toney reported that the board of public affairs had decided that the best place to establish boat landing was at the foot of Texas street. but that the government engi, neers thought it best not to interfere with the river bank until after tho spring r'se in the Arkansas. Tho recommendations of the board of pub lie affairs were approved. .E-s
 After remaining iny secret session, for brief. period the council recon: vened and Alderman Hollis nominated Major Parkes for city engineer. 1t was quickly seconded and his cleo .tion was unanimous.

used to return an indictment. De- termined efforts were made bv re,a- tlfes of Scott to have Ladl indicted but at each of the four sessions of the lnquisitorial body it was stated that the evidence was not sufficient against the defendant to justify a true bill.
 During the last campaign for pro- scouting attorney of this district in which Judge W. D. Jones, prosecuting attorney, asked for a third term the Ladd case was injected into the stump speaking" Attorney T. Havis Nixon. one of the 4iree candidates tfor the office, declardd that Judge Jones had been negligent in the per formance of his duty, making state ments that justice had been smother ed in the Ladd case a nd that he was responsible for the failure of the grand juries to return an indictment against Ladi. Judge Jones answered the charge in speeches, in which he repeatedly exclair he'd that hs had made a determined effort to secure all indictment against Ladd. buts that the grand juries had been "pSek with friends of the defendant ,sand that it was impossible for him to get true bill returned against add. The result was that Jones was re- elected prosecuting attorney for a third time. Previous to the political campaign. after no indictment had been returned against Ladd by the several grand juries. Mrs. Emma Scott widow of John Scott. filed suit in the Federal court at Little Rock against Ladd. in which she sued for damages for the death of her hus- band. The case was heard and yer dict for $10.000 was returned in favor of. the widow. Ladd paid rhe ju,lg- ment and the case was thought to be settled, as far as prosecution of I.add was concerned. The fourth grand jury took the case up after the poli- tical fight, but still no true bill was returned against Ladd finally the fifth grand jury indicted him.
 Tn the meantime Mrs. Scott the widow who had secured the big juds-
 
 ment against Ladd in. the federal court, moved from the State, going to Michigan. She later, moved to Colorado, where she ~ nbw resides. Ladd moved from the town bearing his name to Little Rock, where he has been unusually successful in tire automobile business. At the time tf the killing of Scott he was engaged in the lumber business at Ladd and operated mill there. He is mar ried and enjoys the respect and es- teem of all who know him. being prominent in all matters that tend to upbuild the State and is especially active in the good roads movement in Arkansas.
