WHITE SLAVE"
INVESTIGATION

Fort Smith, Dec. l-Helen Monk,
who figured conspicuously in investi-
cations of what was regarded as at
tempts last spring to secure recruits
for the white slave" traffic from the
school girls of Fort Smith, is today
having a hearing before a magistrate,
the present case growing out of her
alleged propensties to entice and har-
Dor young girls at her establishment,
this time the girl in the case being
her own daughter.
The woman has two young daugh-
ters, the older one being Il years of
age and the younger mere child.
The court had been asked to have the
children removed entirely from be-
yond the influence of the mother, but
she is desperately resisting the move
to have guardians appointed for them.

TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.

The State Teachers Association
will meet at Hot Springs December
2S-30. The program has been ar
ranged to cover every phase of our
school work 1t makes no difference
in what department of school work
you are. that special line of work will
have its due consideration. The pro
gram will be attractive in every par
.ticular. Whether in primary work,
in the grammar grades, in high school,
in college, in university, in mathe-
matics, in science, or in athletics, you
will find your special line of owrk en-
phasized. The time has come when
every active teacher should contribute
his efforts toward making these great
gatherings success.
There are several reasons why we
should attend the next association:
In the first place, the great variety of
subjects will interest us in the kind
of work we are doing; second, the
great social feature, which will give
us opportunity to meet the leading
teachers from all parts of the state;
third, the privilege of visiting one of
our attractive Arkansas cities at small
expense; fourth, at this association
will be awarded the first certificates
to members of the Arkansas Teachers
Reading Circle Faulkner county has
several who will finish the four years
course this year.
1t is the purpose of the president
and others to get a large number of
rural teachers to attend this meeting.
We would urge all directors to use
your influence to get your teacher to
attend. The inspiration brought bacl,
to your school will be worth the while
Every postofiice in the county should
be represented.
Remembering that every progress
sive school act has its beginning in the
a associations, it should be a proper in
.centve to cause each of us to want to
make each meeting a success. If you
do not receive a program ask your
neighbor teacher to let you see his.
Hoping to meet a large delegation
from Faulkner county, | am
Yours truly,

NEGRO HOLINESS
ROW SETTLED
TONGUE" SIDE ENJOINED
COURT ENDS LONG
CONTROVERSY IN LOCAL
NEGRO CHURCH.

Chancellor Wallace yesterday after
noon settled the controversy between
the two factions of the local negro
Holiness church by decreeing that the
faction headed by J. A. Jeter as pas
tor was entitled to the church proper
ty and enjoining Justus Bowe and his
followers from using or attempting
to use it. This controversy, which has
been long and bitter one, arose in
the latter part of 1907, wnen Bowe,
who haG been pastor of the church,
began to preach the doctrine of the
so-called unknown tongue claiming
that re and certain other of his men,
bers were endowed with the power to
speak with the unknown tongue"
spoken of in the New Testament.
1t app, ars fror the testimony that
this doctrine of the unknown tongue"
originated in Los Angeles, California,
ct a meeting of some kind held there
IN April. 1907 which was attended
10y c. H. Mason and J. A. letter, PROM
inent negro Holiness preachers. Jeter
ard Mason returned t) Arkansas,
preaching the new doctrine, and JUS
tus Bowc and some af h ) foiloH ers
espoused it. 5cter, who claims tC be
general CVers( err of the churches in
Arkansas, ,hortly afterwards lepudi-
ated the whole doctrine, and since that
time there has been a controversy in
reference to it.
The evidence tended to show that
majority of the local church repudi-
ated Bowe and his teaching, and Sc
lected Jeter as their pastor. Bowe,
however, refused to give up the
church. and in March, 1908, the suit
was filed in chancery court asking for
an injunction against Bowe and his
followers using the church house. At
that time the chancellor made a tenn
porary order allowing Bowe the use
of the church for two Sundays in the
month, and giving it to the Jeter fac
ton for the remainder of the time.
The chancellor based his decision on
the ground that the evidence showed
that Bowe had departed from the or
iginal doctrine of the church, and for
that reason was not entitled to assert
any claim to the pastorate.
During the progress of the litiga-
ton in chancery court there have been
several clashes between the rival fac
tions. At one time both Jeter and
Bowe attempted to preach in the
church at the same hour, and for this
both of them were fined in mayors
court for disturbing public worship.
Later BOwe pitched a tent across the
street from the church and held pro-
tracted meeting. Members of the Jeter
faction, claiming that they were dis
turbed in their services by the bolster
Gus character of Bowes worship, had
him arrested and fined in justice of
the peace court for disturbing public
worship. Circuit Judge Lankford,
however, dismissed this case against
Bowe on appeal.
The defendants gave notice of an
appeal from the chancellor's decision
10 the supreme court.

J. A. LEA FOR COUNTY JUDGE.

The Log Cabin Democrat is today
authorized to announce j. A. Lea of
Conway as a candidate to succeed him
self as county and probate judge of
Faulkner county, subject to the action
of the Democratic primary. Judge
Lea is too well known in the county to
need any introduction by this paper.
His popularity with the Democratic
voters is such that they have elected
him to three different county Offices,
almost every time by overwhelming
majorities AS judge of the county
court he has made good record. We
believe that in no other administration
have so many improW nents of a per-
manent character been made by the
county as during the years he has
stood at the head of the county's af-
fairs. He has been, however, economi-
cal and extremely careful to see that
the county got value received for every
dollar it expended. Despite unusually
expensive IeilhS VI NliSuit Soui' anu
the extraordinary amount of improve
ment work, Judge Lea has managed
the finances so that there has been a
substantial reduction in the indebted
ness of the county. He feels that by
his experience he is now better than
ever able to serve the people and to
carry ON the work Of building better
roads and bridges throughout the
county.

CAPITOL BIDS
ARE OPENED
MANY WANT THE Big JOB
CONTRACT FOR NEW STATE
HOUSE TO Re LET WITHIN
FEW DAYS.

Little Rock, Dec. When the clock
strikes this afternoon the Arkansas
state capitol commission will dive into
a stack of big envelopes which will be
of the room by anxious contractors,
and begin to open the bids of about a
dozen contractors for the completion
of the new state capitol building. The
letting of this contract has filled Lit
tie Rock with some of the biggest con
tractors of the United States, men
who are not afraid to take the con
tract of completing the building, and
who arc moi afraid cf politics putting
a stop to work on the building before
i is completed. Among tnesc bidders
are to be found g. A. Fuller & Co.,
New York; Thompson, Starrett & Co.,
New York; John Pierce & Co., New
York; John Gill & Son, Cleveland; ;
William Miller & Sons Co, Pittsburg;
&. f. Bodwell, Chicago; Connors
Bros, Lowell, Mass, c. l.. Gray Con-
sruction Co., st. Louis, and w. A.
Stewart, Little Rock These contrac-
tors have been here for week or
more, getting bids from sub-contrac-
tors, and looking over the ground.
Every time one of the contractors
arrived he would place beside his name
on the register OF the hotel at which
he was stopping Bids Wanted for
New Capitol" This was a notice to
ub-contractors that the general con-
tractor would like to get bid from
him, and it always drew like honey
catching flies.
The commission will go over the
bids during the afternoon, but will
probably be several days in getting
to the point Of letting the contract. 1t
reserves the right to reject all bids if
they are not satisfactory. The com
mission may also let the contract all
or in part, and reserves the right to
let bit here and bit there and do
the supervising of the work itself.
w. A. Stewart has been the super
intendent of the work of rebuilding
the capitol as far as it has gone, and
it was not known he was to become a
bidder until yesterday. The contrac-
tor must be ready to go to work on
the building by January /, by which
time the work which was torn out of
the building will be replaced The
contractor will complete the building,
if it is let to a general contractor,
within q year, and the commission
will install a heating plant which will
serve until the legislature makes an
appropriation for the permanent heat
ing plant and for the Identification
of the grounds.
All members of the com mission are
here today to attend the opening of
the bids, and Architect Cass Gilbert is
here to superintend the letting of the
contract.
The most of the bidders are figur-
ing on using Batesville stone for the
building, but the specifications call for
