ticle which appeared IN the Charles Town
and Shepherdstown papers signed by Mr.
II. G. GetzsHdannsr, Manager of the
Jefferson County Telephone Company,
addressed 20 the 'plone-holders of said
company. protesting against the County
Court of Jefferson county granting a
franchise to the Winchester & Washing
ton City Railway Company to construct
its lines to Shenandoah Junction on the
ground that the electric current greatly
injuries the telephone service.
As Manager of the Frederick 4 Clarke
Telephone Company, have an intimate
knowledge of this matter. as the lines Of
the Winchester & Washington City Rail-
way Company parallel our lines.
/ am free to say that when our line S
are clear of ground and in good condl-
ton the service is not in any way injur-
ed, and am certain that the patrons Of
the Frederick & Clarke Telephone Com
pany will bear me out in this statement
1t the Jefferson County Telephone Com
pany will use proper care in keeping
their lines in good coalition, am GER
tain that they would have no trouble
whatever from induction from the lines
of the Electric Company.
make tins statement in spirit Of per-
sect fairness to all concerned.

Denies That He Questioned Fair

Regrets That Controversy Has Arose and Says 0uachita Accepts Decision
 Without Protest.

The article entitled Hendrix Students Indignant" which was published in Mondays issue of this paper and stated that Presi- dent Hartzog of Ouachita claimed that the judges in the recent state oratorical contest were unfair ill rendering their decision i'll favor of Hendrix, has been emphatically denied by President Hartzog, in a letter which was received by this paper this morning. Below is the letter which was written by Pres. HartZog:
 Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 My attention has been called to an article in The Log Cabin Demo- crat containing the following state ment: "The ill-natured insin- nation of unfairness which Is said to have been made publicly by President Henry $. Hartzog in ref erence to the recent oratorical con- test, is causing a great deal ol in- dignation among the Hendrix College students and the matter is constant subject of discussion on the campus. He openly charg- ed the judges with unfairness in their decision.

 In The Senate.
 The closing exercises ill the sen ate were interesting from beginning to end, one of the most pleasing features of which was the scholarly closing address of Senator John C. B. Simms of Chicot county, for merly of this city, which was fcl- lowed by prolonged applause from every portion of the house.
 The senate chamber, lobby and gallery were:flled with spectators, among whom were many ladies, residents of Little Rock and visi- tors from abroad, all cf whom con tributed generously aud enthusias- tically to the applause.

the best oration, and added that it seemed to me that an overwhelm- ing majority of the audience thought the same way. l most emphatfcally deny, however, that I have at any time, publicly or privately, made any insinuation or open charges against the fairness of the judges. In my talk to the students l stated clearly that the judges were honorable and scholar ly gentlemen above reproach or suspicion. 1 was informed that the judges used the grading in- stead of the ranking system i'll making up the averages. Since then, however, the marks have been published and show that by either the ranking or grading system Hendrix College would have won first place.
 Ouachita College accepts the de cision without a murmur or pro test and we extend our congratula- tions to the eloquent young gentle who represented HetdrlX.
 l am sorry to learn from your pa per that With the tension so high between the two colleges coming contests Twill be bitterly fought. l believe in rivalry, but would regret to see a spirit of un- seemly wrangling. There is no bitter feeling on the part of our student body toward Hendrix. We rejoice in its continued growth,

.LLOYD'S CASE
On TOMORROW
Supreme Court Will Try Suit
Brought by Ex-Stenographer
of the House.

The trial of the suit brought by
James W. Lloyd against the Territory
of Hawaii will be begun in the Su
preme Court tomorrow morning, and
vigorous fight is in prospect. A num-
Der of out-of town witnesses have been
subpoenaed to be present, including
Speaker Holstein of the House of Rep
resentatives, Representative Furtado
of Hamakua, and Representative
Charles Rice of Kauai. Speaker Hol-
stein and Representative Furtado ar
rived from Hawaii on the Mauna Kea
yesterday and Representative Rice is
expected in on the Kinau this morning.
Lloyd was the stenographer of the
House of Representatives until his row
with Speaker Holstein and the Ac-
counts Committee convinced the House
that it did not need a stenographer and
Lloyd s resignation was accepted.
Lloyd demanded payment for transerib-
ing his notes, claiming that this work
was not contemplated in his agreement
when he accepted the position of stem
ographer. He also claims that the Ac
counts Committee and Speaker Hol-
stein led him to believe that he was
to have extra compensation for render
ing mis- stenographic notes into English
that others than himself could read.
and that this agreement was broken
without notice to him.
Lloyd is represented by Judge
Quarles as attorney. Deputy Attorney
General Lorrin Andrews will handle
the case for the Territory.

ALLEGED MURDERERs
PLEAD NOT Gull II

Thomas Cummings, charged with the
murder of the negro sailor Wetherill,
and James McCandless and Waikiki,
charged with being accessories after
the fact, appeared before Judge De
Bolt yesterday morning and all plead
ed not guilty.
Higashi, who had previously pleaded
guilty to the charge of carnal inter
course with a girl under fourteen, was
sentenced to three years in the peni-
Tertiary and to pay the costs of court.
Judge De Bolt issued an order
resembling his previous order forfeit
ing the bail of Morita, one of the riot
defendants who failed one day to APP
pear in court and who had to be
searched for and captured before the
trial could go on. As Morita stood
trial and was not convicted. the Judge
thought the ends of justice did not
demand the forfeiture of his bail.
The matter of Sing High, charged
with running a laundry without a IL
cense, goes up to the Supreme Court,
Judge De Bolt reserving to that court
the question Of whether or not he
ought to sustain the demurrer of the
defendant. The demurrer is based on
the claim that the laundry license law
is unconstitutional.
Fuiikawa, who was convicted in the
district court on the charge of having
been unduly intimate with japanese
woman on the Judd premises and who
was sentenced by Judge Andrade to
nine months, appeared before Judge
De Bolt and asked for mitigation of
sentence. The judge was lenient and
reduced the sentence to thirty days
imprisonment.
Ala. who was indicted by the grand
jury for larceny in the second degree,
he being charged with having lifted
a few punches of bananas, entered a
plea of guilty and the judge suspended
sentence for thirteen months to give
him chance TO reform.
Tony Belaska, charged with burglary
in the first degree, entered plea of
not guilty and will stand trial.
