MILLICAN Goes
TO PENITENTIARY
FROM MONDAYS DAILY.

Unable to make the appeal bond
of $1,000 fixed for him by Circuit
Judge Eugene Lankford, L. E.
Milligan, who was convicted for
murder in the second degree for
killing Joe c. Herring and SEN
fenced to ten years imprison ment
at the recent term of circuit court,
left this morning to begin his pen
itentiary sentence. He was accom-
panied by Deputy Sheriff c. w.
Stewert.
Col. G.. w. Bruce, who repre-
sents Milligan, states that Milligan
is beginning his sentence because
be cannot make his bond and
would have to remain in Jail. The
case has been appealed to the su-
preme court, and Col. Bruce says
he is confident of a reversal OF at
least a reduction in the sentence,
but pending the appeal it was
thought best for Milligan to be
serving a part of his sentence,
since he would have to remain
imprisoned until the supreme
court passes on the case.

AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL BILL
Occupies Attention of House of
Representatives.
Dulaney of Little River Offers Substitute
Bill Providing for Only
One School

Little Rock, Feb. -Special.-
All day yesterday the house ar
gued on the Bellamy bill providing
for the establishing Of four agricul-
tural colleges III Arkansas, and at
the adjournment hour a substitute
had been offered providing for one
central school with an appropria-
ton of $50, 900 instead of SI6o, 900
for the four, as provided for IN the
original bill. 1t was agreed that
the one school would be stronger
than the four, and the plan for four
is as sensible as the dividing OF the
State University into four sections
over the state. The substitute bill
for one school was offered by Du-
Laney of Little River.
The legislators had a delightful
time with the bill, some wanting
to have four schools with appro-
priations all the way from $40, 900
to $40, 900 each, and Smith of Ash
ley even wanted to appropriate
$50, 900 each for four schools,
The DuLaney bill is practically
the same as one vetoed by Acting
Governor John Ike Moore near the
close of the last session of the house
Representatives DuLaney and
Glover made strong speeches Ill
favor of the one school, to be 10
Gated with reference to soil and
other inducements.
The argument went over the
time for adjournment and the house
took out" for the day. The dis
cussion was resumed this morning.
1t was argued in the discussion on
the substitute bill that agriculture
could be also taught at the Univer-
sity of Arkansas and State Normal,
and thus assist in the movement
for agriculture on higher plans.

CITY APPEALS
WADDELL CASE
FROM MONDAYS DAILY.

Little Rock, Feb. Especial. =
The brief for the appellant in
the case of the city of Conway
against Charles w. Waddell was
filed by Attorney R. w. Robins in
the supreme court this morning.
The case grew out of a sale of
books on the public square of Con-
way by Waddell, who after having
been repeatedly warned by the
officers that he was violating an or
dinance of the city, persisted IN
making the sales and was brought
before the mayor and fined $50,
the case being tried June 27, 1908.
Waddell appended to the circuit
court, where the court instructed a
verdict of not guilty, holding that
the ordinance under which Wad-
dell was convicted was too broad.
The city excepted from the rul-
ing and appealed to the supreme
court.
In its brief the city contends
that it had the power to enact the
ordinance under the general well
fare" clause of the statutes, grant
ing municipality the right to
pass such ordinances, not lncon
sistent with state laws, as may
"seem necessary to provide for the
safety, preserve the health, pro-
mote the prosperity and improve
the comfort and convenience of
such corporation and the inhabi-
tants thereof. 1t is also contend
ed that the right to pass the ordl-
nance was granted in the act pro-
viding that cities may control, su'
pervise and police its streets and
public grounds.

OLD DEPOT MAY Be MOVED
Board of Trade Wants the Public
Square Cleared.
Superintendent gurphy Apparently Favors
Suggestions of Board =
Committee.
FROM TUESDAYS DAILY.

At conferenA. held here this
morning between Division Super
intendent ]. F. Murphy of Van
Buren, and a committe RI presenting
the Conway Board of Trade, the
first step was taken toward the re-
moval of the railway depot and
cotton platforms from the center of
the public square. The depot in
its present location is directly
across the point where Main street,
the widest thoroughfare in the
business part of the city, would
cross the public square.
The conference with Superifl-
tendent Murphy was secured by G.
L. Bahner of the Board of Trade.
Mr.. Murphy arrived last night
and met the board this morning.
1t was pointed out to him that
the square was blockaded by the
platforms, sheds and cars of the
company through greater part OF
the year, cutting off view of the
business part Of town from the
passenger cars and greatly imped-
ing ard obstructing travel from
one side of the city to the other.
Mr.. Bahner stated that a popula-
ton of from 90, 900 to $4,000 was
served from the local station, a
larger number probably than at
any interior station in the state.
The request of the board was
that the present depot be removed
to the extreme south end of the
square, and used as freight depot
and that neat passenger depot be
built far enough south of the pres
ent site so that Main street could
be opened up across the tracks.
1t was also asked that the cotton
platform and seed house be remov-
ed to some other point.
Superintendent Murphy appar-
emily was in favor of the suggested
changes and intimated that his re-
port to the higher officials would be
favorable.

State Farm.
Chetnut Reelected Reform School Super
intendent--B L. Harrison Penl-
tentiary Physician.

Little Rock, Feb Especial =
Concluding its business yesterday
afternoon the penltentiary board
adjourned to meet again at the
call of the chairman, Auditor John
R. lobe, with the understanding
the next meeting was to be held
on the state farm. 1t is the inten-
ton of the board to meet on the

legislative committee having the
penitentiary affairs in charge, Wis
its the farm. The committee is
expected to go Friday, and if such
is the case, the penitentiary board
will hold a meeting there Satur-
day. The visit to the farm is for
the purpose of familiarizing Gov
ernor Donaghey, Attorney Cen
eral Norwood and Auditor Jobe
with the farm.
The board also decided to sell
the 200 bales Of cotton on hand &,
and the 100 tons of seed. Dur
ing its visit to the farm the board
will meet the levee district board
of Lincoln county which requests
the state to put 900 yards OF ad-
di,ional dirt on the levees Of the
farm, and thus afford protection
for the entire country thereabOuts.
This board also asks for a drainage
right of way across the farm, and
for the state to join in the move
ment, for the ditch would drain all
that portion of the farm which can
ever become tillable.
The board yesterday morning
elected w. R. Chetnut superln-
tendent of the reform school, Mrs.
Chetnut as matron; B. L. Harrl-
son of Jonesboro, penitentiary
physician; Rev. A. c. Graham of
Chicot county, chaplain; and
Adam Clark of Arkadelphia, as
clerk.
The penitentiary board is anx.
iously awaiting legislative action
by the general assembly which
will give financial relief, as the
penitentiary is between 500, ,ooc
and $50, 900 in debt for supplies
and general running expenses.
DR.. F. G.. Richardson of Heber,
formerly of Conway, was one OF
the candidates for penitentiary
physician. Eight ballots were
taken before an election was had,

The monthly report of Superin-
tendent S. S. Waters of the Con-
way public schools show that the
total enrolment has now reached
73o, the highest in the history OF
the town. The report follows:
We have had our promotion for
those who were able to stand the
test of examinations, and [ am
glad to state that many made their
grade. Some who failed should
net have done so, but they did not
do the work during the months
that should have been done and
we are trying to get them to un-
derstand that the work must be
done or else they must of necessity
fail.
We are glad to have many of
our patrons visit us and ask that
you come often-you do us good.
Our enrolment has increased un-
til at this time we have 73o; in the
white school, 500, with above 90
per cent in daily attendance; i'll the
colored school, I64, with about so
per cent daily attendance From
the total enrolment we have had
only II tardies, as follows: First
grade, 5; sixth grade, A. seventh
grade, :. We feel encouraged to
know that our tardies have been
reduced to about I per cent of the
attendance, but we are not salts
fed. We want to eliminate all
tardies, and we can succeed by the
full cooperation of all the patrons.
Let us have this.
