 Message and Disappears.

MAY COMPROMISE
 THE CAPITOL CASE
GOVERNOR SAYS LET CALDWELL
 q DRAKE COMPLETE JOB.
COMMISSION TO DIRECT WORK
Writ of Prohibition Issued by State Supreme Court Stays the Hand
 of Chancellor Martineau.

Little Rock.-Governor Donaghey has issued a statement that he be- Heyes an arrangement could be made with the Capitol Commission for Caldwell & Drake to finish the new state capitol building.
 The Governor states that it has been contended by some people that Caldwell X Drake should be allowed to finish the building on the ground that the contractors have said they would finish it under their contract for $33S, ,000. Gov. Donaghey states that if the contractors are willing to take the job at that price he is will ing for them to do so, reserving to the present commission and architect all the rights, privileges and author ity that accrued to the original com mission and architect. The Governor states that he has always contended that Caldwell X Drake should not be allowed to have anything to do with the completion of the building, but that he does not now believe there would be any risk in such action un- der new commission
 In his statement the Governor also shows a tendency to believe that in case of arbitration 1t would be found that Caldwell & Drake were indebted to the state, instead of the state to Caldwell x Drake
 The Governor scarcely expects the former contractors to accept his prop osition.
 Judges of the Supreme Court Carroll D. Wood, Jesse C. Hart and Samuel Frauenthal. sitting en banc, issued writ of prohibition against the further exercise of any jurisdic- ton by Chancellor Martineau in the state capitol case. If Contractors Caldwell & Drake proceed further it I'll he necessary 10 appear before a United States court
 The writ is broad in scope. and absolutely prohibits the chancellor rom further attempting to enforce his order of injunction, or from as sessing judgment for content, pend ing further instruction from the Su- preme Court, which will probably not convene until after the summer re- cess, which usually ends in October.

"Fear God Tell the Truth and Make Money"
STATE TROOPS IN CAMP.
Heavy Marching and Drill Practice
 Part of the Program.

Dardanelle.-Guard mount of the Arkansas provisional regiment and battalion of regulars from Fort Logan II. Roots marked the opening maneu. vers at Camp George W. Donaghey. This was followed by heavy drill program, with officers school work and other regulations to give the boys touch of actual army service.
 The camp is beautifully located in valley beneath Mt Nebo, where it Is proposed 10 end the maneuyers with a sham battle
 The peculiar location and lay of the camp will make sanitation easy and will greatly aid Majors Minor and Ellis of the medical department in their light for thoroughly sanitary camp. In this connection, Colonel Harrison, commanding. announced to the officers generally that he intends that this encampment shall be the best from sanitary viewpoint ever held in Arkansas. IL is well known that sanitation is Major Minors hob by, and Major Ellis, a thorough dis ciple of Major Minor along that line, has already declared war on all Wa termelon traffic and has laid plans for strict and frequent inspections.
 There is talk of establishing a per manent camp, and Little Rock is mentioned as the probable location Major l.. B. Jett, at the head of the quartermaster's department of the Arkansas Guard, in talking of the plan, said
 I am in favor of maintaining per manent encampment grounds at Lit tie Rock, the logical place for all en- campments, and am also in favor of arranging rifle ranges at that camp ground so that all military maneu- vers, shoots and everything in the military line in the state would be pulled off there.'

ROCHESTER MISS IS ATTACKED WHILE PLACING FLOWERS
 OVER GRAVE.
HEAD CRUSHED BY OL0 SPADE
Anna Schumacher Makes Hard strug- gle in Cemetery for Honor and life-Murderer Buries Vic
 tim in Shallow Hole.

Rochester, N. Y.-That Anna Sehu- macher. the 17.year-old girl whose body was found crudely buried in Holy Sepulcher cemetery, was choked and beaten to death after being criminally assaulted is the cen elusion based on the autopsy held by Coroner Henry Kleindienst. but many circumstances of the crime. even to the exact place where it was commit ted, can still be only guessed at. Al. though the authorities believe they have clue. namely broken spade found near the scene of the deed the identity of the murderer is matter of speculation.
 The strange action of a man dis covered at the scene of the murder by an employe of the cemetery, directed suspicion toward him, and for time gave promise that an arrest would be made; but the man escaped, and 1t is not known who he was.
 \ description of the man was given to the police.
 For time suspicion was directed toward an employe of St. Bernard's seminary, which is near the cemetery, but the seminary authorities disposed of this in statement that this sus- peet had been i'll at home for three days.
 The autopsy emphasizes the bru- l brutality of the crime The body was in pitiable condition--the head, faca chest, arms and hands were covered with bruises and scratches. tho bone that supports the tongue was fractured when the assalant chokeC his victim; the body was covered with blood and the hair was full o dirt and leaves, indicating that tho body was dragged some distance | probably by the feet. Part of the clothing had been removed IL would seem that the girl, who was of vigor ous physique, made a desperate strug gle to save her honor and her life The condition of the body makes il necessary that burial shall be today
 Girl Was to Decorate Grave.
 The inquest into the death began this morning. City, county and town authorities are bending every effort to apprehend the murderer.
 Miss Schumacher left her home Saturday morning to place flowers in the family cemetery, which is that of the Catholic church, and when she did not return al night. her family became greatly alarmed. A search was instituted, which was kept up until the finding of her body today by two officers about q hundred feet outside of the cemetery limits.

Benton.-Earl Dill is believed by Benton people now to be in Arkadel- phia, despite the statement given out ln Little Rock that he is 500 miles away. He was brought with his mother to Benton from Haskell, four miles from this city, by w. J. Cara dine, his uncle, with whom they have been staying since Dill fled from Lit tie Rock, following his acquittal on a charge of assault on Miss Ray Burk- halter at Little Rock They came in a covered wagon, Dill and his mother sitting in the rear of the vehicle. Friends stopped and talked with Car adiAe while they were on the way to Benton.
 The local agent of the Iron Noun tain railroad says he sold two tickets to Philadelphia to an old man whose description corresponds to that of Caradine.
 Caradine. however, declares that he took the boy to Little Rock in the covered wagon. He says Dill was anxious to go home, although he broke down and cried every time he got new accounts of the threatenings in Little Rock.
 Caradine says that Dills brother in-iaw, George E. Cockmon of Little Rock, came here last Friday and ad- vised him to stay in the clear yet a while
