the manure is in large pieces chop it

do is to spread the manure over the

How often flower beds in the open

SCHOLARSHIPS

Little Rock. Dec l5.-The executive
board of the Arkansas Federation Of
Women's Clubs, in session at the Ho-
tel Marion yesterday, formally author
zed the publication Of an official or
gan, to appear monthly, and took
steps to raise an endowment fund to
perpetuate the two scholarships at the
University of Arkansas now in their
second year.
The Federation monthly will be pub
lished as a private enterprise, without
assistance from the organization, but
will contain all general, state and indi-
vdual club news, with monthly letters
from the separate clubs Of the state
as well as districts. Mrs NJ. L. Baird
f Eureka Springs, wife of the editor of
the Eureka Times, on whose presses
the publication will be run, will man
age the paper or magazine.
The scholarships were established
one year ago, one for boys and one for
girls, selected from high school stu
dents over the state in their junior
year, for the sophomore or second'year
at the state university. They are now
financed by club assessments, but an
endowment will be raised to establish
it permanently. Entertainments to be
given by each club in the state are a
feature of the plan

JUDGE LEA GIVES
ELLIS THREE YEARS

Special 10 the Log Cabin Democrat
Little Rock, Dec. 15.-W. Y. Ellis
was this morning sentenced by Circuit
Judge Lea to serve three years in the
penitentiary for the killing of N. P.
Willis in the court room here a few
months ago. Judge Lea stated that he
believed Ellis guilty and would have
given him longer sentence but for the
report of the physicians appointed by
the court to examine him, to the effect
that Ellis was afflicted with tubercu-
losis.
Ellis was indicted for murder in the
first degree and a trial last week re
suited in a hung jury. His attorneys
then entered for him a plea of guilty
of voluntary manslaughter, leaving
the sentence to the court.
Efforts are now being made to have
the governor pardon Ellis.

Special Correspondence to The Press


MANILA, Jan. 14.-The enforced
reception which Admiral Charlie:
S. Sperry was finally compelled by
the Washington authorities to &C
cept from the residents of Manila
was a veritable deathshead affair
In the history of the American
navy no officer of rank has yet ap
preached the standard of snobbish
ness and boorish manners estab
lished by Admiral Sperry during
the visit of the feet to Manila
Without investigation as to the
health conditions of the city
Sperry assumed an arbitrary and
antagonistic position toward al.
lowing the men liberty and was
grossly insulting in his conduct
toward the committees of citizens
which waited upon him.
Though DR.. Stokes, commander
of the Relief. reported the city in
thoroughly sanitary condition, and
the bluejackets from Harber's
Philippine squadron were being
daily landed, Sperry remained i'm
movable in the position he had
assumed on his arrival.
Even the most meager civility
was denied every American, in
Guiding Governor General Smith
The increasing frequency of the
attacks of acrimonious hysteria
which Sperry displayed whenever
he came in contact with American
residents soon disrupted all diplo-
matte relations existing between
the Connecticut and the MALAGA
nau.
Then Governor Smith fired a
cable dispatch at Sperry via Wash
ington which was as superheated
as the blast from a turret gun. The
epistolary sights were drawn sure
and fine on the snobbishness and
incapacity of one Charles S. Sperry
and the mark was hit with a large
and effective smash.
That night dispatch was re-
ceived by Sperry peremptorily or
dering him to land the men. For
a day thereafter the after port side
of the Connecticut made a noise
like a straitjacket.
To add to his already nauseous
display of sulkiness, Sperry sent
his regrets to all entertainments
rendered by the American colony
and attended only those given by
the British and Spanish residents.
Whenever he and Governor Smith
met at these functions they did
not meet. Each avoided the other
and no language passed between

''FLOPPER" SAYS
HE WAS ROBBED

"S-s-s-say, I've been touched for
a twenty" Such was the uproar-
GUS cry emenating from the lips of
a seedy looking individual, as he
emerged from warm pile of saw
dust in the Billy Sunday tabernacle
yesterday morning.
AS brother unfortunates of the
grimy faced fellow crowded about
him, he searched his pockets but
found nothing but few half
smoked cigar stubs and a piece of
discolored handkerchief. If he had
ever owned $50 It was not with him
at that time land he declared that
he was the proud possessor of a

them except unprintable mental
illusions.
Though tremendous injury was
done Manila through the unwar-
ranted conduct of Sperry in label
ing it a pesthole, though Manila
is without question the cleanest
and most healthy city in the East,
yet more serious national injury
was done in the losing of the moral
effect the fleet was expected to
exercise on the Filipinos.
The fleet was kept at an mac,
eessible point after the battle prac.
tice was completed and no visitors
were allowed aboard the ships.
One Filipino of some understand
ing reflected the sentiment of the
great masses of these untutored
national wards, who respect only
courage and force, when he said:
"Americano admiral he afraid

get sick come shore. Some man
shoot gun he go scared dead"
But the bluejackets when finally
allowed shore liberty showed tina,
the Sperry hysteria was not cpl
demic in the fleet.
Though the weather was unfa-
vorable at times, yet the men were
rendered one of the most pleasant
and interesting series of entertain,
ments which they have enjoyed on
the cruise.
Wild west shows, athletic carni-
walls, theater parties and a most
remarkable display of individual
entertainment made their hours
ashore most pleasant.
The Americans of the East sin
cerely regretted the departure Of
the Junior officers and the enlisted
men of the feet.
But there were no heartaches at
the passing of Sperry.
