Garland Power and Davel- opment Company Eas
 a Time.
ARE DENIED CHARTER
The Right of Eminent Domain ls In- YOlyed-Many Men of Prom.
 inence Involved

Little Rock Aug 1i.-Because there is some doubt as to what the legislature. which enacted an act in 19Oo giving water power companies the right of eminent domain. meant, very pretty friendly suit is now to be InduiSed in between the Arkansas Board of Railroad Interpretations and the Garland Power and Development Company. This corporation was granted a charter by Secretary of State o. C. Ludwig several months ago, and was given power to dam rivers for the purpose of creating power to generate electricity and for disposn2 of it over the state For the purpose of securing the right of eminent domain, under the act of 1905 which states the State Board of Rail road Commissioners has the right to grant charter to corporations which are to generate electricity by water power or to construct dams on streams for the creation of bower. w. E. Smith, attorney for the Garland corporation, Tuesday appeared before the railroad commission and was granted a charter. The wording of the act was such that it might mean the State Board of Railroad Incorpor- ations. This afternoon Attorney Smith applied 10 this board, which is composed of Governor Donaghey, Secretary of State O. C. Ludwig and
 Auditor John R. .Jobe for charter.
 The board heard his argument and de- declined to grant one, saying the rail-
 road commission was the one re- ferred to in the act. Upon the re- fusal of the board 10 act Attorney
 Smith gave notice he would apply to the Pulaski county circuit court for a writ of mandamus to force the board to grant the charter. The Garland Power and Development Company is backed for the most part by Little
 Rock capital. Henry Dalhoff, thd railroad contractor is the president. Pat Hannon, another well known rail-
 road contractor, is another large stockholder Simon Cooper, of Hot
 Springs, is also interested. The con- cern intends to erect dams across
 Ouachita river in Montgomery county
 and create electricity with which to
 furnish Garland, Saline, Hot Springs
 and Pulaski county with power, aa we'll as cities all over the state.

A BITTER PILL
 FOR JEFF DAVIS Rhoton's Employment in the Ellis Case Forced on Him by Willis Family.
ALWAYS AT "OUTS"
RhOton Will Not Appear at Pine Bluf Hearing-The Troubles of
 JeH Reviewed

Little Rock, Aug. 1.-The tender ing to LeW.s Rhoton the assignment of special counsel to represent the family of N. P. Willis in the prosecu- tion of W Y. Ellis, Senator Jeff Davis, who was acting for the family, must have swallowed bitter pill. For years Rhoton and Davis have been arch enemies In the recent cam paign Senator Davis made all sorts or assert. .ons as to what he would say to Rhoton's teeth" Rhoton, then a candidate for third term as prose- cutting attorney, jumped Senator Davis the hrst time he came within his district on speaking tour and Sen ator Days spoke but once, at Perry Vile, rushing away from the wagon from which he spoke, without waiting for reply from Rhoton. He then cut his other engagements in the dis trlct and beat hasty retreat, without staying to hear what the fiery tongue of Rhoton would bring forth. It was the attacks upon Rhoton which brought about the personal encounter between T. E. Helm, law partner
 of Rhoton, and Senator Davis, in which Helm took the gold headed cane from the Senator, which con- stltuents has presented to him. After all this bitterness, Senator Davis was forced to send the request to Rhot0n that he represent the family in the prosecution. It is said the fee Rh0- ton will receive will be $10,000, the largest ever paid to criminal attor- hey for one case in Arkansas RhCton has nothing to say concern ing his appointment but it is said former Lieutenant Governor Johnson of Missouri, who was here recently to select an attorney to represent the Willis family, visited the court room where the Dill trial was in progress decided then to tender the position to aim, through Davis & Pace, who were representing the family interes here. Frank Pace will also assist in the prosecution. Attorney Rhotou will probably take no hand in the haoeas corpus proceedings by which nc tn I,f lease under bond.

WILL RESUME WORK
 ON THE CULYFRT
East second Avenue Eye Sore Will Be Finished. Says Mayor Tone,-In- structs ontractors to Resume Work Immediately, Low Water Per hitting.

Mayor W. L. Toney stated yester- day that he had instructed the con tractors, who have the contract to build the culvert over the rayine on East Second avenue, to resume work and finish the culvert at the earliest date possible. Mayor Toney said that the contractors have been handicapped there by high wa ter making it impossible for them to work on the culvert. The water has gone down considerably, with the fall ing of the Arkansas river, and now the contractors can work This cnl- vert has been left unfinished for many months, interfering with street ear and other traffic on Second avenue.
 The residents of the eastern part of the city have been patient. but it is getting to point where patience will cease to be virtue The work will be pushed by Mayor Toney and he hopes to have the culvert completed in few weeks

pus proceeding shall not be post poned more than three days from the date of issuance of the writ and the Ellis hearing will probably be held today or Friday. Attorney Pace, it is understood, has been employed by h. dianapolis and St Louis relatives of Willis to aid in the prosecution of Ellis. The hearing may develop into genuine sensation, as evidence showing the causes that led up to the killing of Willis by the husband of his former wife, will be gone into. United States Senator Jeff Davis will most likely be subpoenaed as witness, with Judge F. Guy Fulk. who was hearing an application for custody of little Mary Willis, at the time Ellis fired the fatal shot. Judge Austin, an- other witness, may also be called to the stand.
 Ellis shows the effects of his fifteen days confinement in the Little Rock jail. His complexion is sallow and his general appearance is free of that healthy look that he presented while performing his many duties as super intendent of the local light plant and transit company's lines in this city. the strain through which she has gone in the past two weeks. She un- derWent a serious operation in a local hospital some weeks ago and although her physicians forbade her to leave the institution, she hurried to her husbands side at Little Rock. She collapsed when they met at the Pull ash county jail and since that time has been in feeble health. She spent several days with little Mary. who is with her husbands s parents at Fay etteville. but did not bring the child here. The little girl will probably remain with Fayetteville relatives un- til after the hearing.
 Campbell Heard From.
 Judge Austin received a telephone message from Prosecuting Attorney Campbell last night. Mir. Campbell was at Perryville Ark, attending the circuit court. He said that he would return to Little Rock last night and would phone Judge Austin early this morning as to what hour would be convenient for him to attend the hear ing here Attorney Pace did not reach the city last night. but will be mo- tified by Judge Austin immediately af- ter the time of the hearing is an nounced. MT. Pace is at Dumas and will come to this city to aid Prosecut- ing Attorney Campbell in his efforts to prevent Ellis from getting bail.
 There is a possibility of the hearing being held tonight, as it is thought that MT. Campbell cannot reach here before 6:10 D. .n. He may come to the city on the morning train how ever. If he does come here this morn ing the hearing will probably be post Doned until Mr. Pace arrives from Dumas this afternoon Mr. Pace may decide to come here on the early morning Iron Mountain train.

 Judge M. A. Austin, of the law firm of Austin X, Danaher, of this city, who with Attorney James A.

Judge Austin declared that it was the in tention of Ellis counsel to give the states attorney and other lawyers for the prosecution every consideration Judge Austin stated that Attorney Frank Pace, of Little Rock. law part ner of United States Senator Jeff Davis had telegraphed from Dum1s. where he ls at present transactlng legal business. that he would like to be present at the hearing. Judge Aus tn said that Attorney Pace would in all probability reach the city last night. He suggested to the court that both sides be given further time. Judge Elliott said that he would not set the hearing until Prosecutor Campbell was heard from. He in structed Sheriff Roberts to turn the prisoner over to Sheriff Philpot to be held in custody until further orders of the court.
