 modern plant with capacity Of 5000 barrels a day will be installed without delay. The property pur- chased consists of 2,500 acre tract, of which 800 is a chalk formation. in bluff form, and rich in the essen tials to form a substantial cement.
 A cement mill with a capacity of 5000 barrels a day could only use in the neighborhood of about an acre of chalk in q year, as the bluffs are extremely high, and only about a foot has to be stripped from the surface.
 This chalk, when ground, and mix ed with the proper proportion of clay forms the highest grade of Portland cement clinker, and the real value of the deposcit is scarcely realized.
 The formation of this company and the proper development of the White Cliffs property is an important chap ter in the industrial progress of the state

 MAN WHO SHOT N. P. WILLIS.
Family Skeletons Barred in Testimony Which is Expected to Prove
 Mental Abberation.
Little Rock-Attorneys for the de-

Little Rock.-Attorney for the de- feuse in the trial of W Y. Ellis. have set up the plea of r. and the jury has listened k- posture of inside" family history. including the life and characteristics of relatives on both sides of the house, such as is seldom heard in a legal procedure.
 Every line of testimony introduced by the defense has converged toward the idea of insanity, except to es- tablish the fact that Ellis was ap- pointed a special policemen in Pine Bluff, and that he had a natural right to be in possession of a revolver.
 An indisputable hereditary strain of insanity was proven to exist on the mothers side, while a predispo- sition to mental weakness was estab- lished on the fathers side.
 An accident in football game at the State University was attributed as a cause of Ellis weakness, and several other incidents in the mans early life were given to substanti2te the plea.
 Eight relatives of the man on trial and a close friend of the family took the witness stand to lay bare family skeletons and tell of the insanity strain which has been a curse for years.
 The brilliant array of of learned counsel for the state and the de- fense in the trial of w Y. Ellis. who shot and killed N P Willis in the chancery court room in this city last July, has attracted a great deal of attention to the case.
 Prosecuting Attorney Roy D. Camp bell is assisted by ex-Lieutenant Gov ernor C. P. Johnson, of St. Louis. former Prosecuting Attorney Lewis Rhoton, and J. R. Spann, noted criminal lawyer of Indianapolis.
 Attorneys representing the defend ant are Judge Frank T. Vaughan, former Prosecuting Attorney James A. Gray, of Little Rock, Congressman Joe T. Robinson, of Lonoke, J. w. Walker, of Fayetteville and Jndge E. w. Kerwin, of Pine Bluff.

Commissioners Received by Taft.

Hon. John W. Crockett of the rail- road commission, upon his return to Little Rock from Washington, D. G., where he attended the National Asso- citation of Railroad Commissioners, was enthusiastic over the progress of the meeting, and says many good ideas were advanced.
 One of the important actions of the meeting was the adoption of a proposed uniform demurrage ruling. The action of the association is of course merely suggestive, and not manG' tory, but each commissioner is expected to use his own judgment in putting the rule into effect.
 The commissioners paid a visit to President Taft and were received in the East room of the White House with marked attention. The chief executive asked many questions con corning the work in hand and evi- denced a keen personal interest in what was explained to him.
